Vela Terraces Hotel

Great sized rooms with a brilliant bathroom. There are a lot of stairs so it may not be suitable for all. The breakfast could have been better but was definitely saved by the egg station!

Beautiful place. Staff were so friendly. Restaurant was really good and prices were reasonable. Portable wifi was available which was wonderful.

Vela Terraces is a well appointed contemporary hotel with a touch of Filipino charm. Rooms are spacious with either a view of the mountains - Mt. Tapyas, which is one of Coron's sites - or the ocean. As the name connotes, it is like the Rice Terraces - it has different levels. So, it's not for the young-once. The hotel has a lot of stairs. There are 4 structures going up the hill. From the road, just walk up a few steps to the simple but charming reception area where you will get a welcome drink upon arrival from the airport. A few more steps above the reception is the Manggis restaurant that serves Filipino and International dishes. Their Ala Cart fare is delicious! Next to the restaurant is the first Tower of rooms. Tower one has 2 rooms just across the restaurant, and one room each on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Behind Tower One a few steps up from the restaurant is Tower Two, which has 2 floors. Further up the hill from Tower Two is Tower Three, which also has 2 floors. By this time, you are on the middle portion of the hill with a view of Mt. Tapyas' Cross. The view of the lighted cross at night is wonderful. We were originally assigned to the top most floor / Tower 3. We made the walk to the top when we arrived. Fortunately, they moved us to Tower One - what a relief. As in most (not sure if all) hotels in Coron, there are really no elevators. Rooms can actually fit 4 and are very clean. Staff are excellent and friendly. Hotel is very near town.
