In general we felt like everything was a little bit more expensive booking through the hotel than elsewhere (ie motorbike, transfer)

We loved our stay here - the bungalows were clean & modern and the pool was amazing. The location was also great, just up from the main restaurants & shops so it always felt chilled. Also one of the best sunset spots on the island! Staff were also lovely.

Mobile phone connection was not good, there might not be any nearby cell site. But you can just use the internet instead.

The staff were lovely, very polite and accommodating. The villa is very spacious, it has its' own kitchen with complete amenities and the villa has ample space for our large luggage. When not cooking, we ate at the restaurant. Food was great and reasonably priced. Internet in the resort was fast - at the villas, restaurant and even at the pool. Pool was so lovely, we took a swim almost every day considering the warm weather in the Philippines. It was so peaceful and quiet in the resort, a perfect place to rest and unwind.

Not so much a ‘didn’t like’ but it is on a hillside without full tarmac roads. You’d need to be familiar with a scooter and take your time getting up and down, otherwise rely on tricycles. Absolutely worth it though.

South Mountain Resort was lovely. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay and couldn’t have asked for more help. The pool was stunning and the rooms were modern. A lot of effort and care has been given to maintaining these to a high standard and it shows. Peter (the owner) is super friendly and dropped us at the ferry port after our stay had ended. Special shoutout to Jed. Would recommend!

Absolutely beautiful resort, staff are amazing and could not do enough for us. View is amazing and the pool is lovely, the room was exceptional and clean. Had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning when we are next in Siquijor!

Just be aware that it is not walking distance to other resto or bars, which was good for us, so you will need to hire a motor bike or book a car.

Set in the highland which was very serene and relaxing. Great pool for chilling at end of day plus good cocktails at bar. Room was large and comfortable.

It was exactly what a resort is supposed to be. Great bed, food, drink, and swimming pool. Wonderful sunsets. I will be returning as soon as possible.

We had an amazing experience at South Mountain. First off we decided not to get the transfer offered by the accom. However as the port we were arriving to changed we were now further away. When we arrived there company vehicles were there waiting to pick up some other guests. The owners kindly allowed us to get the transfer as we would have been stuck. Speaks volumes about the type of owners they are. The accommodation from the facilities to the pool and to the staff were amazing. The staff were so friendly and kind and would go above and beyond. A particular shout out to Jed who was an absolute legend. Don’t think twice about booking this place as the owners are fantastic people who genuinely have your best interest in mind.

It’s perfect for a peaceful getaway. But as someone who can’t drive we found it hard to hail a tricycle (you’d have to ask the staff to book someone to take you down). Local tricycle drivers will consider the hotel’s mountain location a “special trip” and charge more than average. My only feedback to management is to consider a shuttle service to the main road in San Juan.

The infinity pool has a sunset view. Loved the bungalow itself: it was clean, spacious and well furnished. Hot water with good water pressure. Great internet for people who work remotely (averaged 12MB download; the best island internet we’ve seen). Staff were super helpful. Resort also had scooters to rent on site. Restaurant has delicious European and Filipino options.

South Mountain Resort is definitely one of the best resorts to stay at on the island. Great location near the center of San Juan with a beautiful view. The room was big and clean. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable so we slept really well during our stay. The staff and the owner were all very nice and friendly. And the pool is amazing. On top of all, their WIFI works very well so we didn't have a problem to work before exploring the island. I definitely recommend this resort for the comfort, service, location and the amenities.

Everyone was so welcoming and we enjoyed the good conversations. And we loved the dogs!! We could rent a scooter from the hotel and it is very close to many restaurants.

I didn’t like having an end of our stay.

Mountain location makes for cooler temperatures and remarkable sunsets. Love the staff and the owners of South Mountain Resort. They make guests feel welcome, secure, and comfortable. The cabanas are perfect to create a personalized experience while the welcoming dining area and pool are wonderful assess to have while experiencing Siquijor.
