Alan Trick, there are many ifs and buts.
I walked in the hotel 2 weeks ago and my impression is it may be ready in Nov. this year.
You can get a one way ticket to and from Corregidor from Sun Cruises but only on a standby status. You may get one but not back when you want.
If you arrive on a one way trip to Corregidor with the Cabcaben Boats you have to pay the fee of 3000 pesos each way, that is for sure from the Villa Carmen boats but at the Cabcaben boats they may demand more. And you have to stay in phone contact with them or make a firm return reservation with them.
The El Corregidor boat for 3500 peso also has to be paid twice if you return on a later day.
Yes you can bring a tent and pay a 50 peso fee.
You can rent a tent for 500 peso from the eatery at the south side of Bottomside. Add the tenting fee to CFI.
Freedom Café has a few rooms, fan or aircon, communicate with me in the shout-box and I will give you a telephone-number.
You can rent a fanroom in the Rowhouse from CFI for 700 peso a night.
You can eat in three little canteens on Corregidor, Freedom Café (ex MacArthur), the restaurant on the south shore, Bottomside and a café at the north side, Bottomside.
The power may be off at the daytime in the Freedom Café and the Rowhouse.

Sun Cruises and other organizations have moved the Corregidor ferry terminal to the Mall of Asia in Manila. On the 7th Nov. 2016 I visited Corregidor using this terminal, made these pictures and posted them here. This terminal moved recently here from its old location at the CCP. This is Karl’s Photobucket album:

corregidor.proboards.com/thread/1923/corregidor?page=2The other vehicles and boats on Corregidor
I mean the others, than the Sun Cruises trolleys and vehicle transportation for the Corregidor Inn guests.
I have often said that Corregidor visitors that come by other boat transportation than the Sun Cruises ferry can rent jeepney, a bus and boats (especially a large one) from the Corregidor Foundation Inc (CFI).
That is false and I stand corrected!
The other vehicles on Corregidor belong and are operated by Prime Square Ent. which also owns the three (3) large big boats (banca) which operate from Corregidor Island to MAAP Pier in Brgy. Alas-Asin, Mariveles.
The Executive Director and Trusty of CFI, LTCOL. Artimo G. Matibag, wrote me the below on the 16th Jan 2017.
Dear Karl,
Corregidor Foundation, Inc. (CFI) has no jeepney and buses on Corregidor Island. They are owned and operated by Prime Square Ent. (PSE) who also owned and operates three (3) big boats (banca) from Corregidor Island to MAAP Pier in Brgy. Alas-Asin, Mariveles. Hire is handled by them and just coordinated by Mr. Ron Benadero (CP#0916-3063693)
