This property and staff were so great, their slogan is "experience private island living", and it is very true. We were prepared and had a wonderful time after reading previous reviews, we brought snacks and a water bottle and cash. Knowing it was very isolated, as such you are completely dependant on the resort for food, tours and transportation. There is no close towns and no nearby ATM. You will want to budget for airport shuttle about the amount of a night stay as it is 1.5 hours from airport. But you gain the individualized attention from the staff. Leo is a fantastic guide if you choose to go on an outing, easygoing, personable, and attentive. Meals at restaurant range 300-700 PHP per dish Internet is spotty but works for emails and chatting. Out of the resorts control there are visitor taxes that are collected while on the shuttle to the resort at checkpoints.(Approx 200 PHP per person per each side of island) It is quiet peaceful and stunningly beautiful.

Tranquil and Quiet

This location is very remote, but incredibly beautiful. It was just us and a small family staying on the property so it was very quiet the majority of the two days that we stayed there. The food was excellent, the staff was very friendly and very helpful And we really enjoyed our time there. If you are looking to unplug (they do have internet I should mention) and be in a very special and quiet part of the Philippines, this is the place for you. . If you want to go party and get crazy go stay in Coron town. The kayaking in the mangrove forest during the day and at night was mesmerizing and if you’re a diver, there are places not too far away for some excellent diving And snorkeling.

This is an excellent place to stay for a relaxing comfortable experience. It is a 2 hour drive from the airport and 1.5 hrs from Coron. If you want to go to another location you will need transportation. The hotel has an excellent driver who will take you to and from other locations. The setting is wonderful, the staff are very helpful and there is an on-site restaurant. The rooms are large and comfortable and there is a/c and wifi.

While this hotel may look appealing online, the reality is far from it. Located in Busganga—not Coron—it’s a two-hour drive from the airport, with the last stretch being narrow, rocky dirt roads. The property itself is full of steep, slippery rock steps that are hazardous and unsuitable for seniors, children, or anyone with mobility issues. Simply moving around the hotel feels like scaling a mountain. The beach is unusable, and there are no activities or amenities, leaving you stuck in your room, which lacks basics like a table, chairs, or a microwave. The tiny fridge is filled only with overpriced drinks they want to sell, leaving no space for personal items. Ants were constantly on the floor. Despite repeatedly asking, the staff failed to provide a room key, resulting in us being locked out during rain. To make matters worse, the hotel charged nearly $1,000 for a three-night stay, yet hidden costs are everywhere. A small bottle of water is 100 pesos, meals are 500 pesos with tiny portions, and even basic requests, like a table, incur extra charges. The staff disappears at night, leaving you stranded if you need assistance. The hotel is in an isolated area with no towns, stores, or restaurants nearby, so you’re forced to rely on their overpriced services. If you’re planning to visit Coron, choose reputable hotels like Two Seasons and pre-book your tours. This property is a waste of time and money. Their focus on extracting more from guests ruined our trip. Avoid at all co

Isolation & Blackouts

The resort is beautiful but extremely long drive from the airport and civilization. So imagine my surprise when I arrived and found out I was the only guess on the entire resort for a 5-day solo stay. I'm a female so that was very scary to trust complete strangers who kept popping up. I tried cancelling my reservation long before arriving but I was informed of their no cancellation/refund policy. The staff were accommodating, but they took turns asking lots of questions and felt the need to babysit me even though I told them that I was fine being left alone. Everyday was an additional face. The resort is ideal if you're okay with isolation from people other than the many staff; garden snakes, insects, other reptiles, and mosquitoes 🦟. They were constant blackouts; no cell phone services even with my international plan; the internet went off with the lights including water outages, but the food kept coming and so did the bill at the end‼️

I chose to stay at La Estancia because I knew I wanted to be close to Black Island, and that I was able to do while staying here. We payed 1,500 pesos per person to go out on their private boat and it was just my party staying there at the time. We stayed there for as long as we wanted, and they even brought a kayak for us to use while there, the boat guys were my favorite staff for sure. The lunch while on black island was not included but also another charge and required, and was not anything fresh or special. I will say that if you get car sick or motion sick, the drive to the actual resort is not fun, all dirt road and lots of hills and bumps. Definitely had to take motion sickness pills to survive. The location is also not ideal for exploring, there is nowhere to walk to for miles, it is literally only the resort and beach. So if you’d like to explore the surrounding town, you need to take a van which they provide, and we went to Salvación but this is not tourist area just local village. So ideally, I wouldn’t stay here for more than 2 days really. The staff were super sweet and accommodating and the food was always made fresh and all the things we tried on the menu were super yummy. The room itself was very clean and fairly comfortable, the showers have pretty poor water pressure but the toilets do flush with a lever! I do love how they provided their own van to drive us where we wanted and they dropped us off at our next hotel in Coron as well.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at La Estancia Busuanga Resort and I must say, it was a truly unforgettable experience. The property is nestled on a beautiful private beach, offering breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredibly friendly staff who welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like part of the family. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced my overall experience. I also really enjoyed the flexibility of the dining options at the resort. Being able to eat anytime I wanted was a rare luxury that I greatly appreciated. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. While the resort is located quite remotely, approximately an hour and a half drive from Coron, the direct transportation provided to and from the airport and to Coron made getting there a breeze. Overall, I give LA Estancia Resort a five-star rating and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning beach views and exceptional service. It truly exceeded all of my expectations and I cannot wait to return.

This property is very isolated, so pack snacks and even some games. We stayed 4 nights, but 3 would’ve been more than enough. The snorkelling on Black Island was fantastic. We did a full day and half day. Felt a bit let down by payment options at the end. Could only pay by PayPal which is the most expensive way to settle a bill. To the management: Please establish a Wise account which is much cheaper for travellers and you. Also need to make sure guests know before staying about payment options (no credit card!).! Wifi was sporadic and we were without for more than a day which was pretty annoying. We were there in April ‘24 and very few guests around so limited on food options. It will be much better when they upgrade a/c to split system. We were stuck with reverse cycle and they really did not cope with the heat and are too noisy. Overall, a really beautiful and peaceful place to stay but limited in things to do and food options.

Our stay was excellent. But there are some things you should know before you visit. For example, you can only pay with PayPal for purchases once on property. The minibar is nicely stocked however they do not tell you that it is not complementary and the sign explaining that is incredibly small. There’s a beautiful beach that’s accessed by a beautiful ride through a mangrove forest. The beach at the facility is not very useful and there are a fair number of sandflies and biting insects. Their staff is amazingly attentive, polite, and wonderful. I cannot say enough about that. This resort is very secluded so make sure you have plenty of pesos as they do not take American at all.

we are a family of 5 from Los Angeles. the private resort feel is good. we almost had the resort all to ourselves for the most part. the private beach is good for swimming and kayaking. we did black sand beach tour on the 2nd day. food is good but we kind of got tired after eating in for 2days. we were craving snacks and something else and they don't have other options. we had to pay extra for everything including water. 3rd and 4th day we had to go to coron for island tour but we had to pay for van and endure 1.5 hrs one way and it was a lot. and we were happy to had something other than Filipino food. overall it was ok, staff courteous and they accommodated our request to eat on the dock/pier area but it was too far away from Coron/airport. if you don't plan to go anywhere else and you want privacy- this is it. but if you have plans in Coron, find something close.

It is like a hidden gem. So quiet in the resort. It is really good if you want to just relax and have a me time. The off side of it is that everything needs to be paid. From food to shuttle in and out of the resort since they don't have their own shuttle service.

La Estancia Busuanga is a beautiful place to stay if you're looking to disconnect (WiFi it available in the lobby) for a few days. The staff are amazing and will accommodate for any need. They have tours for island hopping available that leave from the property. We had a great time doing one of these! The drawback is that it is pretty far from the Busuanga airport (~1.5 hours) and Coron Town Proper (~1.75 hours) so if you're looking to go to popular places in Cotton like Kayangan Lake or Twin Lagoons, you'll need to prearrange that tour & pay a van fee to get there. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time!

Getting away from it all

The resort is meant to get away from it all. The main island hopping is in Coron. In this resort it is far for that and 3 hrs from Coron. I did island hoping then came here for rest. The calicut safari is close to this resort and the resort has a very nice island close by to do a day trip. Overall a very nice place. Rooms are very nice. No TV So if you have kids bring a laptop and some shows. I would stay again
