Hi there, my fiance and I are looking to travel to the Philippines for two weeks end of this year. Where would you recommend for first timers?
We like a combo of beach/pool chill and some trips/snorkeling. I was looking at Boracay, Coron or Palawan maybe??
Is it easy enough to visit a couple of places in 2 weeks? Really open to your suggestions!
Thank you
Coron is in Palawan so Im not sure what you mean by Palawan. Palawan is a huge province containing many destinations.
Coron and Boracay are great options and I suggest being in the city of your international flight departure the night before.
So its not rushed I would stay a minimum of 5 days in each destination you choose.

All good places. As Tommo points out Palawan is a large island/province, not a place, so you need to research where you want to go there.
Travel is invariably slow in the Philippines if not a little chaotic at times and it can take the thick end of a day to move between places, even if the distances look modest. So, take that account when planning. So, yes two places/destinations in a fortnight is what you should looking at.
Heed Tommo's advice about being back by the airport of your international departure a day ahead of the flight and don't trust a domestic flight to get one to a same day international connection. Delays and cancellations are routine due to weather and congestion.
