Alam Indah Busuanga Beach and Villas

We came for the day and found it very peaceful, with hardly anyone around. The clean pool is lovely for unwinding beside the resort's small, cute beach. Staff were friendly, and the simple food was really tasty. Definitely worth a day trip if you want to properly relax.

We were looking only at the beach and restaurant, not the lodge. While riding motorcycles from Coron toward New Busuanga, we spotted a small “private beach” sign around kilometer 50 and stopped. We were amazed to find white sand, a house-boat and a restaurant in such a gorgeous spot. We stayed nearly the whole day. The Austrian and Italian owners are lovely, and the place is genuinely quiet and peaceful. To stay there, you have to eat lunch on site and pay a 100P per-person entrance fee. A great place for sunbathing, snorkeling and good food.

We had almost the whole beach to ourselves, and it felt like a tropical paradise. We went for the day from Coron town. It's about an hour by tricycle, or you could take a two-wheeler. If you start late, there aren't other beaches nearby, and there's a waterfall close by where you can stop too.

The beach itself is quite nice, but the wooden landing stage badly needs repair, probably a complete rebuild. Its condition made the place feel forgotten, which it doesn't deserve. It's a small resort, and the beach entrance alone costs 150. Part of the resort was under construction, perhaps for the next season. I visited in rainy season and was the only person there. Entry was free. I had a nice chat with the one guy around, and his dog kept me company and played fetch, though he's still learning to bring the stick back.
