No visit to a new city or town is complete without a visit to its local cafes. At least for me, that is. While I am not a coffee drinker per se, I find joy in discovering little cozy spots to hang out, get a feel of the local neighborhood, sample some locally-made goodies, and just take in the sights. Whether it be in a bustling city or a rural province, there are an abundance of spots to discover. On a recent trip to Coron, Palawan, I discovered three cafes to try—for those slow moments when you just want to sit back and relax and savor a cup of joe. Bookmark if you're ever in town!

1. Isla Cafe, Barangay 5 National Highway, Coron, 5316 Palawan

During the times we passed by this road, where all the busy restaurants and shops are, Isla Cafe stood out to me as one of the eye-catching spots for its nipa hut-inspired exterior. I had seen foreigners sitting outside their shop a couple of times, and I just felt all the more curious about what they had to offer. Apparently, Isla Cafe is known for its crepes—and they claim they make the best ones on the island! I sampled their Mango-Banana-Nutella crepe, and it surely did not disappoint! The cafe is quite tiny (it sits around 4 inside) and about 4 outside, but it's one of those spots you can have a quick, chill pit stop in the midst of your busy day.

Isla Cafe, Coron

2. 7&Eight Cafe, National Highway, Dipulao (right in front of Phoenix LPG), Coron, Palawan

Now, if you're out seeking a homey vibe, 7&Eight Cafe is the place to be. The recently opened cafe is a mishmash of all the things we love—Korean food, comfort drinks, baked goodies, books, and little knick-knacks from around the world. Situated in a quiet spot in town, the cafe draws customers from locals to tourists alike. They're open til midnight, so you can enjoy comfort dishes like cook-your-own ramyeon, mini muffins, and pizza! Spend a morning here, a few hours in the afternoon, and even at night—and leave a little more relaxed than when you came!

3. BitterBean Caffeine Cabana Coron, Dinagpan Road, Barangay 5, Coron, Palawan

If you're looking for an aesthetic cafe, BitterBean is the spot to visit. Just a few meters away from The Funny Lion, BitterBean is an al fresco cafe that boasts of minimalist design but a not-so-minimalist menu. They have quite the selection from coffee, fruit shakes, matcha, herbal teas, craft beers, breakfast dishes like egg souffles, overnight oats, and smoothie bowls, paninis, pasta, grain bowls, shaved ice desserts, and cakes! We recommend you try having brunch here and enjoy the vibes before heading out on the town!

Boracay doesn’t always have to be about paddleboards, paraws, and daylong itineraries. Sometimes, it’s about lazy mornings, spontaneous laughs, and finding beauty in overcast skies.

I recently spent three days on the island with no plans other than to rest, roam, and lean into the rhythm of the rain. Here's how it unfolded.

Day 1: Cloudy Skies and Clear Intentions

Arrival at half past noon

Entering the island is as smooth as butter with Hue Hotel’s transport team

Trendy, modern, well-maintained—three words that come to mind when looking around Hue

Hotel check-in at 2:00 PM

LA-UD’s stellar room serviceSunset walk at 5:30 PM

Hotel lounging by 7:00 PM

Station X is a picturesque spot that’s all about playful enjoyment!Late Mexinoy dinner at 8:30 PM

It was such a fun evening where everything clicked—the chow, the cocktails, and the company.

Massage and relaxation at 10:00 PM

Day 2: Slow Mornings and Spontaneous Play

Buffet breakfast at 9 AM

LA-UD transforms into an airy buffet area for breakfast with pool views

Sun tans and grounding at 10 AM

Chasing the sun is always worth it!

Rooftop boodle lunch at 1:00 PM

Creative play and cocktails at 4:00 PM

Cocktails are liquid masterpieces at the Flamingo Social.

My favorites from Flamingo Social:

Enchanted Oasis. This drink is sweet yet light, made with coconut rum, blue pea-infused rum, pineapple, passion fruit, and lime. It’s like the classic Piña Colada, but better.

Brushes and Booze and a side of street food? Afternoon delight!

Live music and dinner at 7 PM

Island dancing at 10:30 PM

No wonder Epic is still the top of mind for island clubbing, they live up to their name. And it was a great way to end my last night on the island. Needless to say, it was absolutely epic.

Day 3: The Sweetest Goodbye

Beachfront brunch at 10 AM

Cafe Maruja is such a beach front brunch treat!

Shopping and check-out at 1 PM

Localidad at Station X is a nice stopover for a quick pasalubong or souvenir run.

The Verdict? 10/10, Would Monsoon Again.

Hue Hotel was the perfect monsoon-season base—accommodations, poolside fun, indoor games, and even shopping, all in one property.

So if you ever catch yourself craving an island escape during the rainy season, trust me: pack the umbrella, book that flight, and let Boracay show you her quieter, gentler side.

Boracay, Travel

Such was the case for me when I had the chance to go on a wellness getaway in Amorita Resort in Bohol—dubbed the island's little darling, a home away from home.

After a wonderful dinner, it was time to head back and get my ZZZs early. I wanted to take advantage of the comfortable bed and the early end to the night. It was a good night for day one!

Day two: Workouts, Winner Food, and Winding Down with Art

Day 3: Sea Tree Spa, a Relaxing Nature Walk, and a Memorable Last Meal

***

Looking ahead, Amorita Resort is set to expand its signature brand of world-class hospitality with the opening of a new luxury resort by the end of 2025 in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

I recently spent three days on the island with no plans other than to rest, roam, and lean into the rhythm of the rain. Here's how it unfolded.

Day 1: Cloudy Skies and Clear Intentions

Arrival at half past noon

Entering the island is as smooth as butter with Hue Hotel’s transport team

Trendy, modern, well-maintained—three words that come to mind when looking around Hue

Hotel check-in at 2:00 PM

LA-UD’s stellar room serviceSunset walk at 5:30 PM

Hotel lounging by 7:00 PM

Station X is a picturesque spot that’s all about playful enjoyment!Late Mexinoy dinner at 8:30 PM

It was such a fun evening where everything clicked—the chow, the cocktails, and the company.

Massage and relaxation at 10:00 PM

Day 2: Slow Mornings and Spontaneous Play

Buffet breakfast at 9 AM

LA-UD transforms into an airy buffet area for breakfast with pool views

Sun tans and grounding at 10 AM

Chasing the sun is always worth it!

Rooftop boodle lunch at 1:00 PM

Creative play and cocktails at 4:00 PM

Cocktails are liquid masterpieces at the Flamingo Social.

My favorites from Flamingo Social:

Enchanted Oasis. This drink is sweet yet light, made with coconut rum, blue pea-infused rum, pineapple, passion fruit, and lime. It’s like the classic Piña Colada, but better.

Brushes and Booze and a side of street food? Afternoon delight!

Live music and dinner at 7 PM

Island dancing at 10:30 PM

No wonder Epic is still the top of mind for island clubbing, they live up to their name. And it was a great way to end my last night on the island. Needless to say, it was absolutely epic.

Day 3: The Sweetest Goodbye

Beachfront brunch at 10 AM

Cafe Maruja is such a beach front brunch treat!

Shopping and check-out at 1 PM

Localidad at Station X is a nice stopover for a quick pasalubong or souvenir run.

The Verdict? 10/10, Would Monsoon Again.

Hue Hotel was the perfect monsoon-season base—accommodations, poolside fun, indoor games, and even shopping, all in one property.

So if you ever catch yourself craving an island escape during the rainy season, trust me: pack the umbrella, book that flight, and let Boracay show you her quieter, gentler side.

Boracay, Travel

Such was the case for me when I had the chance to go on a wellness getaway in Amorita Resort in Bohol—dubbed the island's little darling, a home away from home.

After a wonderful dinner, it was time to head back and get my ZZZs early. I wanted to take advantage of the comfortable bed and the early end to the night. It was a good night for day one!

Day two: Workouts, Winner Food, and Winding Down with Art

Day 3: Sea Tree Spa, a Relaxing Nature Walk, and a Memorable Last Meal

***

Looking ahead, Amorita Resort is set to expand its signature brand of world-class hospitality with the opening of a new luxury resort by the end of 2025 in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

I recently spent three days on the island with no plans other than to rest, roam, and lean into the rhythm of the rain. Here's how it unfolded.

Day 1: Cloudy Skies and Clear Intentions

Arrival at half past noon

Entering the island is as smooth as butter with Hue Hotel’s transport team

Trendy, modern, well-maintained—three words that come to mind when looking around Hue

Hotel check-in at 2:00 PM

LA-UD’s stellar room serviceSunset walk at 5:30 PM

Hotel lounging by 7:00 PM

Station X is a picturesque spot that’s all about playful enjoyment!Late Mexinoy dinner at 8:30 PM

It was such a fun evening where everything clicked—the chow, the cocktails, and the company.

Massage and relaxation at 10:00 PM

Day 2: Slow Mornings and Spontaneous Play

Buffet breakfast at 9 AM

LA-UD transforms into an airy buffet area for breakfast with pool views

Sun tans and grounding at 10 AM

Chasing the sun is always worth it!

Rooftop boodle lunch at 1:00 PM

Creative play and cocktails at 4:00 PM

Cocktails are liquid masterpieces at the Flamingo Social.

My favorites from Flamingo Social:

Enchanted Oasis. This drink is sweet yet light, made with coconut rum, blue pea-infused rum, pineapple, passion fruit, and lime. It’s like the classic Piña Colada, but better.

Brushes and Booze and a side of street food? Afternoon delight!

Live music and dinner at 7 PM

Island dancing at 10:30 PM

No wonder Epic is still the top of mind for island clubbing, they live up to their name. And it was a great way to end my last night on the island. Needless to say, it was absolutely epic.

Day 3: The Sweetest Goodbye

Beachfront brunch at 10 AM

Cafe Maruja is such a beach front brunch treat!

Shopping and check-out at 1 PM

Localidad at Station X is a nice stopover for a quick pasalubong or souvenir run.

The Verdict? 10/10, Would Monsoon Again.

Hue Hotel was the perfect monsoon-season base—accommodations, poolside fun, indoor games, and even shopping, all in one property.

So if you ever catch yourself craving an island escape during the rainy season, trust me: pack the umbrella, book that flight, and let Boracay show you her quieter, gentler side.

Boracay, Travel

Such was the case for me when I had the chance to go on a wellness getaway in Amorita Resort in Bohol—dubbed the island's little darling, a home away from home.

After a wonderful dinner, it was time to head back and get my ZZZs early. I wanted to take advantage of the comfortable bed and the early end to the night. It was a good night for day one!

Day two: Workouts, Winner Food, and Winding Down with Art

Day 3: Sea Tree Spa, a Relaxing Nature Walk, and a Memorable Last Meal

***

Looking ahead, Amorita Resort is set to expand its signature brand of world-class hospitality with the opening of a new luxury resort by the end of 2025 in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Day 3: Getting Out of My Comfort Zone and Unlocking True Adventure

Another one for the books was the Coron Geo X experience!

I never thought I would be able to climb this high, overlooking the stunning view. What a way to culminate this trip! Coron had surprised me in more ways than one!

The Geo X experience is a must-try!

HUNT offers a scrumptious P999/head buffet on weekends
