点评:I’ve always loved Cowrie Island for its soft sand and beach access, and I honestly didn’t mind the poor facilities—rusty locks, old doors, no soap or tissue in the restrooms. I’ve looked past these things because the natural beauty made up for it.
But after my recent visit with my family, I can no longer recommend this place.
On July 29, we were a group of 16. The next day, six of us fell seriously ill with food poisoning. I woke up at 3:00 AM with stomach pain and was vomiting by 4:00 AM. By 6:00 AM, I had to be rushed to a local hospital. While in the emergency room, we found out another family was already there—five out of six of them had also been hospitalized for food poisoning from Cowrie Island.
We raised our concerns through a local contact, but the response we received was disappointing. The management claimed their seafood is always fresh—no apology, no sense of accountability.
Later that day, the hospital reached out again for a follow-up and shared that just last month, more than 80 people from a company team-building event at Cowrie were also hospitalized for the same reason.
Until Cowrie Island upgrades its kitchen and food handling standards, I strongly advise others to stay away—especially if you’re with children or elderly companions. There are other beaches in Palawan that offer not only stunning views but also safer, higher quality food and service—even if they require a bit more travel.
Health and safety should never be compromised. Sadly, this place has lost my trust.
翻译:我一直很喜欢考里岛,因为它的沙滩很柔软,而且很容易就能到达海滩。说实话,我并不介意岛上简陋的设施——生锈的锁、老旧的门,卫生间里没有肥皂和纸巾。我已经忽略了这些,因为自然美景弥补了这些不足。
但最近和家人来过之后,我再也无法推荐这个地方了。
7月29日,我们一行16人。第二天,我们其中6人食物中毒,病情严重。我凌晨3点醒来,感觉胃痛,4点就开始呕吐。早上6点,我不得不被紧急送往当地一家医院。在急诊室,我们发现另一个家庭也在那里——其中6人中有5人也因为考里岛的食物中毒住院。
我们通过当地联系人表达了担忧,但得到的回复令人失望。管理层声称他们的海鲜一直都很新鲜——没有道歉,也没有任何责任感。
当天晚些时候,医院再次联系了他们,要求进行后续跟进,并告知他们就在上个月,80多名参加考里岛公司团队建设活动的人也因同样原因入院。
在考里岛升级厨房和食品处理标准之前,我强烈建议大家不要去那里——尤其是带孩子或老人一起去的时候。巴拉望岛还有其他海滩,它们不仅景色优美,而且提供更安全、更优质的食物和服务——即使需要多走几步路。
健康和安全永远不应妥协。可悲的是,这个地方已经失去了我的信任。
