Sophia’s Garden is a small, charming boutique in a quiet area a five-minute tricycle ride from Coron town. Its eight rooms have simple but cute decor with lots of wood accents and traditional Spanish-inspired details. Flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, air-conditioning and free bottled water are nice amenities, but rooms lack mini-fridges, phones, and safes. Free Wi-Fi is available in common areas, but is spotty at best. The restaurant serves excellent Filipino cuisine in a beautiful manicured garden, and the pool is a lovely spot for a relaxing morning with a book, or a dip after a day out diving in the area’s famous shipwrecks. Travelers looking to stay in the city center may want to compare rates at Corto del Mar Hotel.
