In the Philippines, AJ Coffee & Bed, a budget-friendly retreat in
Coron, Palawan, stands out as a unique haven for modern travellers,
particularly millennials and Gen Zs.
Going beyond mere affordability, the establishment distinguishes
itself by offering a service typically associated with luxury hotels –
specially curated tours.
In a market where exclusive hotel-curated tours are generally
reserved for high-end accommodations, AJ Coffee & Bed breaks the
mould by extending this unique experience to budget-conscious
travellers, with room rates starting from US$44/night.
Collaborating with a range of tour operators, the hotel provides
meticulously crafted in-house group and private tours, starting from
US$21 per pax, offering a more personalised exploration of Coron's
hidden gems. The hotel is also able to arrange airport transfers and
shuttle services.

AJ Coffee & Bed additionally resonates with the millennial and
Gen Z traveller mindset, as a champion of sustainability. As the sister
company of Kaulayaw Coffee, it boasts ethically and locally sourced
coffee beans, from its own farms. The hotel's café serves a range of
coffees from Kaulayaw Coffee, including coffee stout and dragonfruit
wine made from local produce.
Additionally, the establishment employs underprivileged locals and
students, many of whom have been with them since its 2020 opening. Their
yearly charity event involves donating items to those affected by
natural disasters and supporting partner coffee farms as a token of
gratitude.
