Purple homestay is a hidden gem in a tropical hilltop oasis ~"a home away from home.." Traveling solo, I was blessed by the genuine care and valuable advice prior and during my stay in Coron as Janice, the owner, kept in communication with me throughout and even went above and beyond to reassure my safety in fulfilling my vacation wishes for a more local experience by help coordinating time with her trusted friend, Judy, who was very knowledgeable, considerate,and kind and who took very good care of me, brought me to an amazing fishing village where I connected to a few locals and was immersed in their, culture, life, activities and livelihood. My time at her homestay was serene and picturesque as the dining and seating area overlooks Coron town with a beautiful backdrop of the famous mount Tapyas. The open spaces to the outdoors plus native material incorporated in some areas of the home and the tropical plants and wildlife life such as the birds, butterflies, etc also enhanced the natural ambience. Lynne, Neng and Sole, who made time for me, were such angels. They treated me with sincere care and were very attentive. I enjoyed conversing with them like family. I'd highly recommend Purple homestay for those who are looking for an affordable, safe, clean and peaceful place to stay with fresher air and breezes since it is on a hill and is a short distance away from the congested town. Happy travels
