COCO BEACH PUERTO GALERAby funded77713,350 views
@MrKorean30 Hi MrKorean, im not the one who uploaded the video, but i have been there and i can highly recommend the place. I guess compared to philippine standards that the food is a bit expensive, but its also very very good.
You can swimm there, but its not a nice coral or fish life at the beach, you have to rent a boat and sail out a little to view that.
I can't remember the price, going from Batangas Pier to Coco beach, i actually think it maybe was included when i booked.

Would you recommend the place?!! And how about the food, is it reasonable or a bit pricey?! What is the price range of the food in there?!
One more thing, how about the beach shoreline, Is it good for swimming or not?!
Lastly, how much is the boat ride from Batangas Pier going to Coco Beach?!
Hope you could give me some insight that will be helpful before I place my reservation.
Thank you very much and hope to hear it from you soon!
