Check out Mt. Tapyas, Paolyn Houseboats, Kayangan Lake Barracuda Lake, Skeleton shipwreck, Sea Cow ( Dugong)in Coron, Nacpan Beach, Port Barton in EL Nido and of course Balabac Island, Maldives of the Philippines.

Coron such a wonderful place, was there just before Christmas with my Philippine wife and her sons , spent 4 days at Zuri Resort, highly recommended it.

Philippines is the place to be.

Seeing so many foreigners there you wonder if your still in the Philippines. The place are beautiful but the vibe feels different. Man, that guy Steven is built like a tank

You're the first vlogger who featured Coron at night..great shot Micheal!

Man, your videos are the best. I love how you interact with everyone. My dream is to do exactly what you’re doing. When I come there in November, can you teach me lol

That should be the first one that you visited when you arrive in the Philippines. It's the best island in the country and El Nido won #1 Island in the world a few times 😊. At least you're there now, I haven't been , it's #1 in my bucketlist when I come home for holidays

I wonder why no one does salt water pools. It’s half the cost in maintenance and way better for you to be in.

Tons of places do here but closer to the ocean properties typically. But yea very common from what I have seen.

Amazing pool! Wish we would have known a few days ago 😅 Looking forward to the rest of Palawan series 😎👍🏽

Looks really nice there. Love the big pool. The food looked really good and lots of night life. Palawan is on my bucket list

My sister has a three bedroom guest house on La Digue Island in the Seychelles, if you rent one room it is one hundred Euros per night and the entire house is 340 euros per night, My sister's house does not have a swimming pool. Now I understand even the most expensive island to live in the Philippines is way cheaper than living in the Seychelles. That I am comparing the most expensive Island in the Philippines with the most expensive Island in the Seychelles to live. I am sure you will not get a hotel room like this for less than 250 euros per night on La Digue.

Love Coron

Great area. I think Puerto Princessa and Coron are gonna be in my top 6-7 places to consider retiring to in a couple of years.

Island hopping in Honda Bay in Puerto Princesa is a lot of fun! If you can, rent a private boat for the day for around P4500, and move among the islands as you wish....much better than being herded around in a group tour.

Yay I can’t wait to visit this island too. I have relatives and friends there . They just started their cafe business but had this surfing shop few years ago in Puerto Princesa. Woow the area is exciting to visit. Enjoy your getaway. You are a perfect reference for the places to live here in the Philippines. Thanks for doing all these great work. God bless you. Kudos!

Wasaga Beach! Even though I was born and raised north of Toronto, I haven't been there in so long. I'd rather visit the PH and especially Palawan! Cheers, from a fellow Canucklehead. I hope you have your best life!

Coron, Palawan = happy vibes and relaxation ❤

Stunning! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

i spent a year in Palawan. But I never got to Coron. It was a bit expensive to get there from El Nido. ❤️ Palawan always.

I cant believe it i stayed at that resort about stayed in the end room as you went up the stairs I was there before covid loved it

I love palawan, coron, el nido and bohol

Nice

Wow.. I want to go there🎉 great video

I am watching you from Silicon Valley, California and I'm from Palawan and left on and off since year 2000. Back then we did not want people to know how beautiful Palawan is. I always say to non-Filipinos to move to Thailand lol. I guess these islands cannot be hidden anymore.

I know what you mean and how it makes you feel🙏🏻 I lived in a paradise too here in Arizona, for 22 yrs. It’s ruined now. Traffic for days! AND they took out traffic lights put in roundabouts which NOBODY in America know how to drive in😳🤪they just keep going in circles then panic how do I get out of here 😳😂😂😂. Prices always rise often double to rent or buy a home, food, services. Many tourists having no respect in all forms too. Eventually it cycles back around though, the good and locals come back. I’m grateful for any paradise! 🙏🏻❤️🤔

Been to Coron in 2009, where i really appreciate its beauty. Few people and tourist the time i went there. I love to visit places with few people and tourists around 😂.

Nicely done,,😊

Love it!!!! Backpackers joints are always the cheapest drinks and food where ever you go 👍👍👍👍👍

Another beautiful vlog Mike 😊😊

Am guessing the landing in Coron was a little rough...lol Its obvious your scrunching down in the backseat to fit into the car in the beginning of this video...lol 27:09 Your making me hungry...lol. Thanks for showing Coron, Palawan. Looks like a beautiful place. Enjoyed this video very much. Thank your friend Mark for inviting you so you can make your video. Had no idea about Coron, very nice place. Thanks, Michael...Jim

Overall, I think that's one of the nicest hotels if you've ever been to. I love the pool. Really great nightlife. The music curfew really kills it.

Great location Mike 💪

He's right about the Over Price products and he explained it pretty well. Not only in Palawan but also remote villages in the mountains of Luzon, Visaya and Mindanao.

Carefull with the drinking lots of stairs lol

Wow the construction of these houses are next level. I can tell you in Florida my sister is spending $350,000 US now is pricing is close to $500,000 and her house we're slowly finding out is almost completely defective. Had to replace the ENTIRE air conditioning unit inside AND outside for the central air, the roof is almost 50% falling apart. All appliances that came with the house have been replaced not by choice, they shit the bed within first 3 years. We just had a $5000 plumbing repair because the builders used a bunch of wrong pipes in the downstairs bathroom we found out because sewage was backing into the neighbor's yard AND the tub in that bathroom. Plumbers showed her what was replaced. Now the tub in the in the bathroom upstairs everyone uses takes HOURS to drain and the Sinks in the master bath have the same issue. I told her to sue because all this IN 5 years is gross negligence IMO. And get this we have hurricanes as much as the Philippines has Typoons I think and the only glass in the house that's hurricane grade is the sliding back door. NONE OF OUR WINDOWS are hurricane grade. The thing that really grinded my gears was that the entire house isn't concrete/cement the bottom floor is and the upstairs is wood framed and a stucco finish in the outside. She really got suckered into this place. We're lucky we're inland in Central Florida and don't live on the coast, which is where I want to be, regardless of the storms. The beach is my inner peace. But we haven't been hit severely by a huge storm yet and I pray we don't. Mike u have really cool friends. I think this island is so magical and my definite speed and style, even though you and I are closer in age. But I don't discriminate as long as everyone's got a good vibe it works. I just say "No" to the "Karen" types and "Mr Karen"s. Lol Definitely putting this atop my list of places to I want to visit. 🫶🏻✌🏻

Nice place to visit enjoyed the video. But give me the small town vibe.

don't forget to go to coral garden, shipwreck, black island and pass island. They are in the same area. And there's a beach tour as well. Palawan is the gem of the Philippines and one of my favorite ❤

Philippines being an archipelago, logistics is always a challenge. Most foreigners who keeps on complaining about the cost of things in an island, they don't understand that.

Wow, i thought you were in palawan before,

I like when you mingle with your friends (foreigners) in the country and talk about their experience. We got a good honest prospective about the country. You're looking good Michael and I think your enjoying your single life. Once again, a nice vlog.

15:00 If Palawan is so accessible, Coron, El Nido and Puerto Princesa had already become Boracay-like where overdevelopment took over!

@ThatPhilippinesLife

Ай бұрын

Palawan has had rules in place to protect the environment where Boracay didn't put the rules in place until after the shutdown. Every hotel must have a water treatment here for waste for example. I think the difficulty getting here definitely prevented it from getting too developed. The tourist area is actually pretty small part of the islands here.

👍😎👍

I like the way you think, in pesos. People have to try to get out of in the U.S. $83 will get you a motel 6. I’m not over there yet but I’m a do my best to try to see things in a pesos mindset because then I’ll be living in a pesos society,

Whats the name of the subdivision? Still have a lot of vacant lots avail to purchase?

I haven’t watched that vlog since it was posted, but I think both the ladies are originally from Palawan.

Does not look like the Philippines there. Nice not hearing dogs and roosters all the time !!

At the rate you are promoting businesses throughout the Philippines, I think the Dept. of Tourism should pay for the extensions of your visa because at this point they owe you for the free advertisements on your video. It create jobs for the locals and improve their standard of living. Thank you!
