Dimakya Island is one of many small islets in Northern Coron, Palawan. The place is a little wilder than most, which is just great. There is a resort on this island, Club Paradise, and that is where we stayed.

Club Paradise is a 5-star 20-hectare resort-island, with about 60 cottages spacious and clean, very native, and rather private. There is a hiking trail on the eastern part of the island that leads you up to a look-out point. We saw some wildlife along the trail: several large bayawaks (large monitor lizards), spotted mountain chickens, colorful birds, smaller lizards, and strange aluminum-colored ants.

The bottom line? The sand is deep, soft, and excellent (comparable to Boracay!). The emerald-green water is always cool and pristinely-clear. The skies are a nice deep blue and the sunsets are fiery. The snorkelling is good and the people friendly. And the peace & quiet absolutely priceless.

Highly recommended. More Info: Club Paradise
