    I cannot describe how much I love this place and how I would like to come back. Everyone is super friendly and helpfull. You can see turtles in front of the accomodation. I also recommend to go to the coral next to Almare (On Coco Hotel) There is a restaurant in front that it is good. Also, We rented there one of the best motorbikes we took already. For this price, it couldn´t be better. Also, you can buy the breakfast there. It is amazing to be on an accomodation that people make everything easier and they are really friendly. We loved so much our stay there and if we come back, we will go there for sure.

    The only improvement would be to have better signage on the main road as we couldn't find it at first

    We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. It is located right on the sea so you can walk from your room down for a swim - perfect for snorkeling and they can lend you any equipment you need. Overall a really relaxed stay

    Not a criticism of the guesthouse, just an issue for me. I don't drive, so had to arrange with a driver and tuktuk. The driver was great and I got to see everything I wanted. Just you'll be restricted in what you can do - and the costs all add up. Renting a motorbike and having that freedom is definitely the way to go. But thanks to AlMare for helping with transport arrangements!

    Great self-contained until in the garden on the property. Just a few units, and the family live at the top of the garden. Everyone was very friendly - and I got to play with the two very cute but very different (!) dogs! And also the cute kids too! Breakfast lovely also. Main thing though is being able to walk to the bottom of the garden, down some steps and snorkel in some of the clearest water you will see! Siquijor is a beautiful island.

    The only thing who can be improved will be to add 1 and 2 hammock in the garden :) I found a laundry a little bit pricey but that’s all.

    Very nice guesthouse, the family/staff are very friendly and helpful. Feel like home. The caban are clean and comfy. Amazing view on the ocean and sunset. Free coffee and tea and they provide breakfast as well. You have you own kettle in your room. Thanks to Kimmy who bring us to do snorkelling to see the turtles and others fish ! Little treehouse so cute ! The dog are friendly and well treated. Good location pretty quiet and private access to the sea. Totally recommend if you stay on Siquijor. They arrange us a pick up and drop off with motorcycles and tuktuk for a good price ! Thanks again !

    Very nice and helpful family welcoming you in a basic but nice house. Was nice sharing some drinks with them in the evening. Crazy view from the room. Direct Access to snorkeling and turtles. Quiet at night. Rented a motorbike with their help, in an excellent condition. Excellent restaurant nearby (Tambayanan. Try their Sisig)

    Great location right next to sea lovely breakfast staff very friendly and will help you out as much as possible and will make you feel like one of the family they took us out snorkelling to see the turtles which was a great experience and then invited us to a family party would definitely recommend to everybody

    Little to no water pressure and would run out before 2 bed person could have a shower (might be just upstairs?). Also wifi was very spotty.

    Loved this place. Rooms are super cute, water views to die for and the owners were very lovely! Offered motorcycle rental and laundry. Snorkelling straight off the front with lots of turtles. Short walk to the beach and an incredible snorkelling reef!

    Not a negative thing to say.

    I loved this place. The room was great. The family was friendly and inviting. They also gave great recommendations. The best part was snorkeling in front of this guest house. You can go down some stairs to the ocean and can see corals, turtles, fish. The marine sanctuary is right next door, so snorkeling in there was amazing as well. Highly recommend this place. And if you don't feel like renting a scooter, they will arrange a tour for you. Although there are some restaurants nearby, I would rent a scooter for your stay to travel around and go to other restaurants as well.

    Nothing, just be aware you need to ride a scooter to get around the island.

    The property is in a brilliant location with a sea-front view. Basic room but very affordable. The snorkelling outside the front is amazing and the family are so helpful in helping you see it. Lovely family, who are very welcoming. Scooter rental was very useful.

    Take in to account that there is a beachbar very close which plays music till around 11 p.m. which you hear quite well in the upper rooms . Our last night it was unfortunatly very noisy in the guesthouse itself. The other nights were peacefull though.

    The owners are soo helpfull and nice. They snorkeled with us to help us find the turtles and were very accomodating. The views and acces to the sea are amazing!! There is a possibility to rent a scooter at the guesthouse for a good price.

    This is one of the most amazing places I’ve stayed! Simple but beautiful accommodation right on the shore. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and I felt very looked after. You can snorkel and see turtles right in front and I also rented a scooter from them. Breakfast was included and was very delicious. I really loved it here and would 100% recommend!

    Nothing, except there was a cockroach in our room but that isn't even worth mentioning.

    Excellent rooms with perfect sea view!! The family was very nice and helpful, we even got a little breakfast although it wasn't included. They organised a tricycle ride for us and offered to take us snorkeling to see the turtles which where next to the property. There is a staircase from the property to the sea, so you have access to Tubod Beach.

    The only thing was that in the ground floor room, you can hear people upstairs, which isn’t a big deal normally but we had a girl talking loudly (we heard swearing or like in an argument) and stomping around her room at 6 am our first night and then at 3 am the second which woke us up both times.

    The location is superb, right on the coast with stairs into the water, there’s a bench and couple seats overlooking the water. Every room had a little terrace to sit on. The owners are the loveliest people ever and will do anything you do or don’t even have to ask for as they think a step ahead for you. We went snorkeling from the place, saw a gorgeous sunset, enjoyed a complimentary breakfast. Free water to refill so no need to buy plastic bottles. My first hot shower in the Philippines as well!! Tea, coffee and kettle in the room, towels provided. The best value out there for real. We would have stayed longer but they were fully booked which makes sense as this place is just great.

    Absolutely nothing !

    This place is a must if you visit Siquijor. The room is next to the ocean, during the night you can hear the waves. One of the guys went with me in the morning for snorkeling (free snorkeling equipment!) and we directly saw 5-6 turtles swimming around. The people were so kind! This was a marvelous stay and I can really recommend to come here. They also organized me a transportation from and to the port with a super friendly driver. It’s a 10/10!
