    The facilities in the villa and in the apartment are great, you have everything you need, a kitchen for cooking yourself, a water dispenser, a balcony or terrace in most apartments. The owner is very friendly and helps with everything. General Luna is not far away, but you still have peace and quiet and you can rent a scooter very cheaply. The accommodation is also good if you are travelling with children and family. We would come back anytime.

    Front desk service / reception is only until 8 pm. It’s more convenient if front desk stays until later in the evening. There is no washing/drying machine to wash our swim wears especially for tourists who are staying for few weeks

    The receptionist Biboy was a one-man team doing reception work, house tour and ensuring all guests are well taken care for. He was able to provide some kitchen utensils we required for cooking meals in the room. The grilling area near the entrance was also a brilliant place to dine if you are craving for sinugba!

    Nothing much … the lower rooms are great but a bit dark so we tended to keep the light on. Aircon was quite noisy but very common all over phillipines. But overall fest value for what you are paying

    If you are able to rent a motorbike (350 pesos/day) The location is lovely - quiet, local authentic - and a stone throw from the beach minus any tourists! And not far to busier more touristy General Luna. Note that Most Siargao beaches are nice golden sand but quite narrow and tend to have seaweed and rocks - Milano near Yayay is lovely but also has seaweed but no rocks. Secret beach is just 2km along and lovely and calm amd not overly busy for a day of suntanning or exploring the mangroves. We loved that we could walk to 3 restaurants for a reasonable priced meal. Particularly enjoyed Bajalala hostel for a change (great Indian dinners) amd yummy coffee and breakfasts for about 250 pesos. And to ride into busier General Luna is onky a 5-10 min ride depending on how far up to cloud 9 you need to go. We loved enjoying GL then heading home to yayay for the peace and tranquility! B-boy and Yaya are lovely - all the staff are! They are present to attend to any Enquires all day. There is a great laundry 2 mins down the road (260 pesos for 8kg; same day service). Everything you need and great value for the price!

    Due to the rain, there were a few bugs in our apartment. However, the staff were doing everything they could to deal with this issue and kept checking in to see if everything was okay.

    We really loved our stay here! It was 10 minutes to drive to general luna and just meters away from a beautiful beach. Biboy and his family went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our stay. They even visited us to join them while they were having their family lunch. Definitely recommend staying here.

    Nothing. It was perfect

    They have complete amenities, the rooms were clean and spacious, and it’s walking distance to the beach which is convenient. The owners were very nice and accommodating. There’s an atm in front of the accommodation too. I would 100% recommend this place.
