The location and staff and the view was spectacular. The rooms and grounds do need some upkeep and workout room needs change. Overall though the location was good abd it was very comfortable.

Beautiful views, good accomodation
Very nice hotel, good service with front desk helping us book/organise our island tour, car to airport, and tuk tuk into town. Room was clean, large and spacious and pool was nice during hot days. Breakfast buffet was great and the restaurant was a lovely place to watch sunset. Overall great stay.

Nice view from our balcony. Unfortunately the room beside ours was undergoing some renovations and while they limited the noisy work to between 9am and 5pm, the noise woke me up one morning and prevented us from having an afternoon nap.

Comfortable stay in Coron
This is a great place to stay just out of the main town with a good pool for relaxing on a hot day. Staff are exceptional and organised an excellent private boat trip to Coron Island for us.

Nice mini resort
Great room, nice and big, easy access to a couple of really nice pools. The breakfast is great for a free breakfast. Staff was fine. It’s essentially a mini resort which isn’t too bad given your other local options. The ride into town is about 25 peso/person by tricycle which beats the walk given the hills

A very nice hotel! A bit of a walk from the city of Coron, but just a few minutes with tricycle. The breakfast is great and especially the view from the restaurant. The pool was nice and clean. My only complaint is that the wi-fi did not work at all during our stay.

Staff was very courteous from the very start of booking, they contacted me right after i booked to ensure all our needs were looked after before we arrive. They contacted me to re state the notes i wrote in the request, as well as arrange our shuttle pick up to and from the airport. When we arrived the front of the resort needed a little updating, but once you get in and see the amazing view, it's like you're transported to whole different place. The staff was always so nice and informative, the two that stood out were Miran (not sure of spelling) & Kate. They were always prompt in greeting and preparing our table as well as being informative in the excursions and tours the resort offered. Would definitely recommend.

Overpriced for an OK stay...
The room is very very dated. There is no precautions regarding mosquitos/insects in the room. We asked for the spray and sprayed the room ourselves even though seemed like a lost cause since the door and the windows are not sealed at all and there are massive gaps in them. The location is far from town and one definitely needs a tricycle to get to town. The breakfast was just OK and nothing special. No wifi past midnight since they shut it off. The staff are very friendly however and they can arrange all the tour requirements you need while staying in Coron. Overall pretty overpriced stay for what it is.

The views are amazing from the dining room and rooftop of this hotel. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They are always readily available to lend a helping hand. What I appreciate the most is how easy it was to book our excursions through the hotels front desk. We booked our island and town tours and enjoyed both! All we did was told them which one we wanted to do and they arranged everything for us. We did not have to worry about arranging our transport to and from the hotel to anywhere we wanted to go. I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay!
I stayed here with my daughter in a pool view room. We found the room clean, the fridge was a good size, everything worked. Breakfasts had a nice variety for a few days stay, the front desk was excellent in arranging a private boat for the two of us-this was priced basically the same as I'd seen on-line for doing it yourself and we had an excellent guide and boatmen. The desk was able to answer any questions we had. the hotel is up the hill a bit away from the centre of the action, we didn't find this a problem as there was always a trike handy, or there quickly when the desk called. there is a sari-sari store for snacks out the door to the right. The pool was excellent, clean and warm, a nice place to float around and watch the night sky. The only issue was construction on the roof deck, an area that could have been lovely. we understood the need to work when it's cooler but didn't need fellows cutting pipes with sparks flying during the fabulous sunset over Coron.

A good hotel by Coron standards
The hotel served as a good base for boat and diving trips. The hotel staff was very helpful when needed (booking tickets for a boat to El Nido, calling for a tricycle, etc.). However the restaurant needs some improvement both for breakfasts and dinners.

Almost perfect
Asia Grand View Hotel made our stay in Coron almost perfectly comfortable except that on our firts day, the aircondition failed to sufficiently keep our rooms cold. My husband and I woke up at around 3pm on a very hot bed. My children's room was likewise warm. Upon request for inspection, the aircon unit in my children's room was reset and it was only then that it became cold. However, the room assigned to me and my husband stayed warm despite restarting the aircon unit. An electric fan was instead offered to alleviate the heat. On the second day, the temperature in our room improved but, still, not cold enough to our liking. The staff is very attentive and quick to attend to us. Hotel towels are readily available at the front desk for guests' use during tours. The breakfast buffet offers Filipino and Continental dishes and the serving plates are always filled with food. We liked their salted egg salad and boneless dilis and even went to the local market to buy the latter to bring home to Manila. The hotel also has swimming pools where we spent time while taking some rest after our flight in fr Manila and on our last day in Coron. No ants. No mosquitoes. Beautiful view from their deck. Very quiet surroundings. 3-5 min tricycle ride from the town.

A Nice Stay!
The room was large and comfortable with a good running AC and hot water in the shower although sometimes the pressure was a bit low. The room has a safe and when we asked for a blow dryer, one was delivered. I would suggest a hot water kettle be placed in the room as we had to ask for hot water when we wanted to make coffee or tea. However, the water was promptly delivered. The views from the dining area were lovely and all the cute bird's nesting around the experience even more amazing. The pool was very nice, but we had to find someone to bring us towels. The hotel does give you towels to take on your boating excursions, which was nice. There are quite a few steps leading down to the rooms, so people with disabilities needing wheel chair access or have a hard time with stirs would have a difficult time. We had massages in our room & the prices can't be beat!The food was really tasty and the breakfast buffet offered a lot of choices. I'd stay here again.

Great stay at Asia Grand View Hotel
It's definitely a fabulous hotel. We enjoy our stay at this hotel very much as staff are all very lovely and friendly. They even prepare us tasty breakfast for take away as we need to leave hotel at 4:30am for excursion. You can see sunset from hotel restaurant. Live music at restaurant which is great and romantic. It only takes you 5 minutes to town by tricycle or about 20 minutes on foot. Great stay here and would choose here again to stay next time undoubtedly.

The hotel stands by its name.
Asia Grand View Hotel offers fantastic views from its restaurant and its venue on the roof top. You can view glorious sunrises and sunsets. We found the staff efficient and friendly. We love the setup of the hotel rooms; no hallways or corridors, but a garden when you come out of your room. The restaurant offers a good variety of breakfast foods, and the lunch and evening menus provide a good selection. The meals that we ordered were delicious. There is pleasant music in the evenings, including a duo that sings classics. The swimming pool was a sight to behold, and the garden charming. Our room was at the bottom of the garden, and we enjoyed the coziness and minimal traffic. It was a pleasure walking through the garden to and from our room, although this involves climbing up and down stone steps. This can be challenging to people with serious knee issues, in which case they will prefer the rooms closer to the top. Despite my knee issues, I managed and enjoyed the garden. Our room and bathroom facility was spacious and clean. Checked out a couple popular hotels while we were there for future reference, after which we decided we will stay at Asia Grand View again if given the opportunity. The town of Coron is small and not touristy, but be prepared to be blown away when you go island hopping, diving and snorkeling.

World class service with a smile!
Absolutely superb service. We have never anywhere where the staff took such delight in serving and helping their guests. A bit like staying in Singapore airlines business class for a week! The views from the roof deck at sunset are breathtaking. The hotel is a little out of town, but a tricycle only takes 10 minutes and costs 15 pesos per person.

Gorgeous view, glorious pool
Coron town has no beaches -- you have to take a boat to the islands to get your feet in the sand. This hotel is the next best thing. We were in Coron for 4ish days -- but the day we arrived and day we left were both half days, when we didn't have enough time to island hop. Luckily, the hotel is just gorgeous and the pool is the next best thing to chilling on a beach. I've been to Coron before, and this is the best it gets. Reasonably priced, delightful staff, and quiet, beautiful location that's fun to hang out at. Also -- this is really rare -- they had great access to clean drinking water. You can't drink water out of the tap anywhere in the Philippines, but they have coolers in the restaurant and at the bar, and bring by jugs of water to the rooms. They made it so easy to stay hydrated out there!

Amazing view, perfect location, beautiful hotel
Location is perfect, close to the main road, restaurants and bars. This hotel looks much better in real life, the rooms are big with a high roof. Breakfast is fantastic, service spotless. Hire a motorbike and explore Busuanga, the road to Cheey is magnificant, Alito beach in Cheey is incredible, but preparere that the road there is rough. Go snorkling in the coral reef. Busuanga and Coron is magical. The hot springs, Cabu beach is places not to miss. Wifi and 3G are very bad on the whole Island, the 3G was best on Cabu beach

Hotel muy agradable con aire acondicionado ruidoso
El hotel está muy bien: agradable, limpio, buen servicio, bonitas vistas des del comedor, agradable piscina. Lo único es que parece que en este hotel que antaño fue muy bueno no han invertido nada para renovarlo. El aire acondicionado de la habitación era tan ruidoso que tenías que era impossible dejarlo encendido por la noche ni aunque fuera bajo. Los baños tambiém necesitan una reforma. Los precios del restaurante y el bar son un poco caros. En general el hotel me pareció muy bien pero creo que cobran un precio excesivo para el estado en el que se encuentran actualmente las instalaciones, necesítan reformarlo o bien bajar los precios.
