    The most annoying thing about staying in a hotel is encountering cockroaches and spiders. It’s sad that you have encountered them both!
    You can kindly tell the resort and ask them to find ways to improve the cleanliness of the environment. This will also be a help to them!
    Although the scenery of the resort is quite beautiful, it is a pity that the swimming area is restricted. They should charge half the price!
    This is the resort with the least number of tourists that I have ever seen. There must be a reason why not many tourists stay there!
    This experience tells us that the information on the Internet may not be correct, it is only correct to experience it yourself!
    Fortunately, their food satisfies you! Thank you very much for your detailed introduction, I think it will be of great help to many people, super great job! 👍🥰👏

      Siquijor is actually underrated as compare to other islands but its really a beautiful island and not so commercialized. I personally prefer that type of resort with a Mediterranean theme for its different from the usual zen and minimalist modern type of hotels and resorts however they must get rid of the cockroaches

    We were at Tubod Marine Sanctuary in the summer and it was packed. We saw a lot of fish and giant clams. Siquijor is very quiet after summer season. It is definitely not a party island - you go there more for relaxation. And definitely Coco Grove is not for the budget traveler.

    Zane, if u want to taste the best tropical fruits there u come during summer time from March to May. They have the best waternelon, mangoes, pineapple, and bananas the yellow from davao are the best in the world. Many more delicious fruits there like pomelo from davao also. U try native foods like karekare, pork kechon paksiw, lengua, embutido, morcon, arroz valenciana.

    Wow, brought back memories from May 2018, 5 day visit there and the resort still looks great! I agree it is definitely a couples/family resort and not a singles/backpackers place of stay. Baha Bar up the road is great place for food and music. We attended the BBQ dinner which had a good food, music and dancing. We encountered the same Trike over prices and rented a scooter to see the island! Thanks for the share Zane, keep em coming!

    The place looks very nice but yes, but yes, more than P4000 for the cheapest room, on a deal, is overpriced. Spiders may be expected because it's next to a garden but cockroaches are a totally different story especially you're near the "eating area". A no-no.😅
    Still, enjoy the beautiful Siquijor. 😊

Siquijor is not a Party island beach thats y its soo quite rhere, Its for relaxation place and miditation. There are soo many affordable resorts there. We rent tuktuk for 1 day tour for 5 person, for 1,500 the whole day. Its a tourist place thats y a little bit pricey, just ask for a discount they will agree. The people there are soo kind.

    Thank you for the warning. I find a lot of resorts in the philippines are really a price ridiculous.. They don't have a clue how to provide the amenities. And they focus on things that that should be typical even in much lower priced establishments.. Right now I can get a four star resort across the road from the beach in vietnam for about thirty eight dollars, including excellent buffet breakfast.. Big rooms no bugs, And all the staff were my friends all wanting to visit and help me.. Hotel manager went out of her way too Offer me personal tour.. I stayed there 2 or 3 times even for a couple of weeks. This place shown appears to be about a $50 over priced, even at that.

    You're actually complaining about too much seaweed? I've been to siquijor five times and stayed at Coco Grove every time. First time was around 2002 and it was About 20 bucks a night then. Your room was by the main lobby so yes probably noisy. The reason there was nobody in the water is low tide. At high tide there are people snorkeling but it's very shallow. As for nobody on the beach its very hot not much shade which is why they have several pools. If you're comparing it to California beaches yes not the same but it is a resort not just a beach. That room in CA would be four or five hundred a night. It's the best resort on the island. The people are great. Joy the manager has been there over twenty years. Mackey the bird in front is crazy old. Maybe pang lao has a nicer resort but WAY more crowded.
