Where to Stay in Siargao: Your Guide to the Best Locations

Well, the secret that is Siargao Island is pretty much out. But compared to the world-renowned Boracay Island or Cebu, Siargao still has that idyllic charm and vibe small islands have. While there are surprising changes. Most of General Luna’s coconut groves give way (to put it mildly) to resorts ranging from budget to fancy. On the positive note, there are no more muddy roads. The roads are now concrete and well-maintained. A big part of its land is still covered with coconut trees. And it is my earnest hope that it remains like that. But that’s some wishful thinking isn’t it? Where to stay in Siargao, if it is your first time in Siargao, my bet for you to stay is General Luna or GL for short, where most happenings are. The rest of the island can be Skylab-ed :), the local’s slang for a motorbike.

“Bravo was the perfect chill place for a relaxing vacation. The vibe of the resort, especially the restaurant/lounge area, is highly intoxicating. The staff are so friendly and warm. Would definitely return! Soon!”

“Location, free breakfast, the food at the restaurant, the cleanliness of the room and the sheets and pillows are the pluses for me. The staff are nice too. The only reason I rated the staff as 3 stars is due to my back pack that they were not able to find. Left my back pack at the resort and it seemed to just disappear. It had a bagtag on with my business card and phone number. That was the sad part. Everything else are good.
