Chindonan Dive Resort

Coron Town


This Danish-owned place on Chindonan Island, halfway between Culion Town and Sangat Island, has spacious stucco rooms perched halfway up a hilltop. It's an idyllic setting, but the beach – a mix of gravel and sand – is narrow and the focus is very much on divers. Swim out to great snorkelling on the house reef, populated by seahorses.
