Three months before the date of our trip to Coron, I started sending out my inquiry to different travel tour agencies and accommodations. Although their package for 2 pax is slightly higher than our budget, I decided to reserve at Balaibinda Lodge. They just opened last March 2012 so their facilities are pretty new. And since only a handful of people have blog about it, I thought it would be interesting to feature them in their first year of operation. It also helped that when they replied to my email, they answered with all the information I needed.
One month before our trip, I deposited 50% downpayment to guarantee our reservation to their BPI Account. Below is the tour inclusion they prepared for our trip:
