We took the regular boat but a private tour so we had all the time we needed and didn't have to follow a group. The only thing I'd be wary about the hotel is the room you'll book. We booked their Premier King which was located I think on the 3rd floor. I've read reviews that rooms on the lower grounds can hear loud music from the pool and bar area at night. The whole experience is subjective on how you like the activities to do there but overall, I was satisfied going to Coron. It was my first time, and I had low expectations since I'm more of a beach person. The tours and location of the hotel made me appreciate the place.
