Resort Information

KokosNuss is a small Resort in the town of Coron on the tropical Island of Busuanga, Province of Palawan, in the Republic of the Philippines. If you are interested to learn more about accommodation at KokosNuss Resort, the location, how to get there and possible activities like diving our famous japanes World War II wrecks, island hopping, horseback riding, vulcanic hot springs, motorbike tours, calauit island wildlife safaris, sea safaris or if you just like to see some photos of the philippine treasures

KokosNuss is the only resort facility in Coron Town. If you are looking for an "action holiday" this is it. If you are looking for such things as the best wreck diving in the Philippines, sea safaris, snorkeling and island hopping, Coron is the place for you, but don´t expect mass-tourism or five stars hotels. We are proud to live at the beautiful "end of the world".

In 1991, Rudolf Weih, a German national from Grosskrotzenburg am Main, decided to end his career as a high paid Dipl. Engineer at the research & development sector of Honeywell Company. After a 8 month journey through the Palawan Archipelago he finally decided to settle down in Coron Town on Busuanga Island, and start a small tourist business. At this time, Coron was still a typical Philippine fishermen's town. There wasn´t any tourism development so far, but he saw a big potential for it. In 1992 he opened his KokosNuss Garden Resort and Restaurant with a small eatery and four cottages. In the past years tourism in Coron grew and KokosNuss Resort expanded in size and quality.

Today, KokosNuss Resort consists of 24 individual cottages and bungalows, a large tropical garden with garden chairs and hammocks, and a delightful garden restaurant where you can enjoy fresh seafood and homemade specials in Asian and European style. We are located just before the local hospital on the way into town. The 950 meter separation between "downtown" Coron and KokosNuss means a QUIET, PEACEFUL and RESTFUL environment for your stay in Coron. Your neighbors at KokosNuss will be the trees and shrubs in the garden.

Accomodation

KokosNuss Resort has a delightful restaurant and 24 "Nipa hut" Cottages and Bungalows constructed out of local materials in the traditional Philippine native style that is still found in many parts of Palawan.

Each cottage is spacious, airy and bright. All of our rooms are amply furnished with soft, comfortable beds, clean linens and pillows, and clean bathrooms.

A "nipa hut" is, as the name suggests, a very unsophisticated hut, made of bamboo. It sounds primitive, which you cannot deny, and also sounds very uncomfortable... WRONG! It is a well designed piece of local architecture which will keep you cool and dry. It also adds to the benefit of being totally natural, a little bit rustic, and to the pleasure and the adventure for visiting a remote island.

If, on the other hand you consider yourself a member of the Idle Rich (or if you have any ambitions in that direction) you can have a deluxe bungalow accommodation, complete with an en-suite CR and shower, marble flooring and air-conditioning.

This is a luxurious indulgence that is not really necessary (and not common in this "wild" area), but good for one´s image as a member of the world´s jet setting glitterati...
