Mao Mao surf

Lo mejor del hotel es su personal, siempre con una sonrisa y una muy buena predisposición a ayudarte. Somos una familia de 4 y nos alojamos en dos de los tres bungalows operativos en ese momento (hay obras en otros dos bungalows). Estuvimos fenomenal durante nuestra estancia. Los bungalows y el baño tenían todo lo necesario para una corta estancia. Tienen una escuela de surf y el lugar se anima con los monitores y los jóvenes que vienen a tomar sus clases. Mis hijas hicieron su bautizo de surf aquí y la experiencia valió mucho la pena. Se respira muy buen ambiente en el Mao Mao Surf, rápidamente te sientes a gusto con el staff y con los otros huéspedes. Y por las noches pudimos dormir sin problemas de ruido. Por último, no quiero olvidarme del bar (únicamente abierto hasta las 3pm, una pena) que sirve unos smoothie bowls, batidos, pancakes de plátano y otros platos que estaban buenísimos. Nos faltaron días para seguir disfrutando de ellos!

Desgraciadamente, durante nuestra estancia hacía muchísimo calor en Siargao y, a pesar de los tres ventiladores con los que cuentan los bungalows, no fue suficiente y pasamos calor. Más allá de esta situación, el resto fue perfecto.

Loved my stay here!! Super convenient having the surf school right there and a beautiful room to roll out of for those early morning sessions Great vibes, chill times ☺️, comfy seating in the cafe 🤩

Das nette und hilfsbereite Personal, die Familiäre Art und der allgemeine “Vibe”.

Es hatte keine Klimaanlage, da muss man sich gewöhnen mit Ventilatoren zu schlafen. War aber nach einer Nacht kein Problem mehr.

Friendly staff, lovely private rooms. The best surf lessons and surf staff EVER

The fans in the rooms, AC would have been perfect as it gets soo hot!

The overall vibe of this place is amazing. The people behind the desk are the most friendly. The surf instructeurs are chill guys that make every session awesome. And the pool is just perfect to relax.

I have no complaints.

Sinceramente, un sitio precioso, de ensueño. Todo genial. Tiene un baño precioso, como si estuvieses en mitad de una selva

No tiene aire acondicionado, pero con el ventilador duermes bien si estás acostumbrado a dormir sin aire

Everything was perfect! I also highly recommend the surf sessions! Thank you Mao Mao

Het voelt als thuiskomen, warme mensen. De eigenaren wonen zelf op het perceel en zijn continu betrokken bij de accomodatie, heel persoonlijk! Het zwembad is prachtig en niet te veel chloor.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience. As a doctor who has dedicated my life to helping others, I value fairness and professionalism, and unfortunately I did not experience that here. I requested a 7.6 surfboard but was given a heavily repaired 7.4 instead. During normal conditions while paddling out, the board snapped exactly along previously patched areas. Despite the visible prior damage, I was told I owed 20,000 pesos under the waiver agreement. When I asked to discuss the charge fairly with the owners, I received messages including: “We need this damage settled today otherwise we will pass this matter to the local police.” and later: “There’s no compromise on our side…” Concerned by the situation, I went to the local police station myself for advice and attempted to resolve things calmly. Unfortunately, I found the communication aggressive and unprofessional throughout, which made me uncomfortable enough to leave and find alternative accommodation. Other points guests should know: No air conditioning, rooms get very hot at night Thin walls and significant early morning noise from surf lessons Limited social atmosphere due to the small number of rooms I would strongly encourage guests to inspect equipment carefully before use and fully understand the waiver policies before signing.

Mao Mao Surf is visually very appealing. The photos definitely match reality: beautiful design, stylish small huts, and a lovely pool with a lot of attention to detail. If you are looking for a photogenic place to stay, you will probably enjoy it at first sight.

However, it’s important to know that the property only consists of five small huts. Because of this, there is hardly any social atmosphere, and the owners seem rather distant. If you are looking for connections with other travelers or a more familiar surf community vibe, you may end up disappointed. One major issue for me was the temperature inside the huts. Without air conditioning, it gets extremely hot. The available fans are also very loud, so sleeping with earplugs is almost necessary. On top of that, there are often loud parties nearby until late at night, at times it feels like your bed is in the middle of a nightclub. Around midday, there was also regularly a strong greasy smell coming from the neighboring buildings. The surf lessons themselves are very good and definitely recommendable, even though they are quite expensive compared to other surf schools in Siargao. But one important warning: carefully inspect your surfboard for existing damage before your session. My friend ended up having to pay for an entire board, even though it was already old and repaired with tape, and the damage happened during a normal surf lesson. There was absolutely no room for negotiation, unfortunately, it really felt like money comes first here.

It’s a good surf camp. Breakfast options are great. Staff is amazing. We enjoyed dipping in the pool after a long tiring day. The shower (bamboo faucet) has a heater.

1. The bed was too small for two people, especially given Siargao’s heat and humidity. Without air-conditioning, sleeping comfortably was difficult. 2. The water pressure was weak. 3. At night, we could constantly hear animals or insects scratching inside the walls and roof. It also seemed like termites had already started damaging the wooden roof supports, as we would regularly find wood dust falling onto the toilet every morning. 4. The neighboring hostel was extremely noisy and hosted parties almost every night, which made it hard to rest. 5. The Wi-Fi connection did not reach the room at all. We had to stay outside or in the shared common area just to access the internet, which was especially inconvenient since we rely on stable Wi-Fi for work. 6. There is an awful smell coming from somewhere at night… can be the sewage but it was really bad.

Deze plek heeft iets magisch. Het is een kleinschalig hotel met 5 hutjes die om het zwembad liggen. Je kan zo je kamer uitrollen en een duik nemen. Alles is goed onderhouden en schoon. De ervaring van de buiten badkamer was ook gaaf. Ze hebben een lekker ontbijt/koffie zaakje bij het resort met de beste iced cappuccino. Je bent zo in General Luna centrum en ook zo bij het strand. Er zit een laundry om de hoek en veel andere leuke lunch/diner plekken. Je kan er surflessen krijgen van de beste surfers en je zou hier makkelijk meer dan een week kunnen blijven. De kamers zijn groot genoeg voor twee personen en je hebt ook ruimte om je kleding op te hangen. De bedden zijn wat smal maar liggen wel heel comfortabel. We hebben de AC geen een keer gemist ondanks dat het erg heet was buiten. De huisjes waaien zelf door en de waaiers in de huisjes zijn top!

Het was jammer dat de koffiebar rond 3pm dicht ging en soms hoor je wat muziek van de hostels om je heen, maar dat was nooit tot laat en heeft ons niet gestoord.

Amazing place! The staff is really friendly, the breakfast perfect, the surf lessons really good and the little house is amazing! Will come back for sure and would recommend to everybody!

Nice property 😃 great vibes Shout out to edrian for being a great surf coach

Fijn verblijf, kamer elke dag even opgefrist, lekker ontbijt, waanzinnig mooi zwembad en schattige huisjes met lekker warme douche, aardige mensen! Heel relaxed

Je hoort begin vd avond veel geluid van feestjes van andere hostels, heb je tijdens slapen geen last van want stopt op tijd (10pm).

Lovely spot with great breakfast

Nothing

Amazing pool, very nice and accommodating staff. The breakfast bar has a very good menu with very decent prices, also a good place to chill during the day.

It would have been a great upgrade in comfort if the 3 fans in the room were changed into an air conditioning unit. It was pretty loud with the fans on and still rather hot/humid in the room.

Wszystko było idealne, super klimat, miejsce i lokalizacja, śniadaniownia, świetni pracownicy i instruktorzy surfingu❤️

Schattige huisjes en locatie is prima. Ontbijt is top (wel tegen betaling).

Wees je ervan bewust dat er geen airco aanwezig is. Ondanks de fan’s blijft het erg warm in de kamer. Daarnaast hadden wij het huisje naast de woning van het personeel of eigenaar? Doordat de huisjes niet geïsoleerd zijn, werden wij steeds wakker vanaf 06:00 uur doordat er naast ons huisje heel veel lawaai en gepraat was. Voor ons was de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding niet juist.

It was the perfect stay for 10 days in Siargao. Super chill, very nice and helpful staff and super nice hosts!

Mao Mao Surf as an amazing pool with real cute cabanas. The people are really welcoming and always there to help!

Cabana could have AC. We were charged with a touristic fee that was not informed at the beginning.

Le lieu est juste magnifique et la personne à l'accueil est incroyablement chaleureuse et bienveillante ainsi que les propriétaires, on se sent comme à la maison tout en étant dans un cadre très dépaysant et apaisant. Les leçons de surf proposées permettent de s'améliorer rapidement et les professeurs particuliers sont également d'une gentillesse et d'un professionnalisme incroyable. Les logements sont propres et magnifiquement décorés. Nous avons passé un séjour extraordinaire.

Il n'y a rien a souligner car tout était juste parfait !

I really loved the camp : the bar with the very delicious brunch options, the stuff - especially toppe and clearance who were available even after their time… owners are also very great !!! Surf instructor Elton helped so much to progress from begginer to advanced begginer level and I felt very safe… surf rental has also nice boards and there is a surf gym where you can dey practice your pop-up :) sirf analysis woth the drone also helped!

The property was unique. I loved the hut concept. The staff were pleasant and friendly.

I already knew in advance that there would be no AC and I read the responses from management that there were no complaints about it being hot. However, it was hot. At times, being outside felt more comfortable than being inside, despite having the fans on that were provided in the room. I stayed there by myself so imagine how much hotter it could get with multiple people in the room. In addition, there was no functional wifi in the room, despite me requesting a hut that was closest to the modem/router. I ended up having to use my paid data through Saily in order to get anything done on my phone or laptop. There were also small lizards in the room. Although there was a net around the bed, they still made me nervous.

Leider auf unserer gesamten Reise die einzige Unterkunft, von der wir etwas enttäuscht waren. Trotz der vielen Strandbildern ist die Unterkunft weiter davon entfernt, die Bungalows sehr hellhörig und leider wurden wir im Voraus nicht informiert, dass momentan eine große Baustelle auf dem Gelände ist. Auch war es leider nicht ganz so herzlich, wie wir es in den anderen Unterkünften erlebt haben. Trotzdem sind die Bungalows an sich sehr liebevoll und schön eingerichtet.

La struttura è sempre stata attenta a soddisfare la mie richieste, dalle escursioni alla scelta dei ristoranti da provare e mi ha dato ottimi consigli sull’isola davvero utili.

Mooie hut met badkamer eraan vast. De surflessen waren top.

Er waren werkzaamheden aan een nieuw zwembad. Dit was niet van te voren gemeld.

Cucina incredibile, location ottima per chi non vuole la classica camera di Albergo. Pulizia perfetta, lavaggi e cambi di vestiti disponibili, proprietari accoglienti ed estremamente disponibili. Potete presentarvi senza nessuna idea di come organizzare la vacanza e vi aiuteranno in tutto. TOP

Dover andare via 😂

Prachtige hutjes die zeer comfortabel zijn, zeer handig en sfeervol ingericht , zeer proper en wordt dagelijks gepoetst, zeer vriendelijke jongen van de receptie

De keuze om hier te verblijven is gevallen na heel lang vergelijken van reviews, foto's, aanbevelingen in reisgidsen etc. We hoopten in een klein, cosy paradijsje te belanden maar helaas toen we toekwamen, leek het terrein een bouwwerf. Ze waren pas gestart met het bouwen van een zwembad, waardoor het terrein tussen de huisjes 1 grote bouwput was. De werken waren blijkbaar onverwachts vervroegd maar we konden onze teleurstelling niet wegsteken. De eigenaars hebben zich uitgebreid verontschuldigd en boden ons gratis ontbijt aan ter compensatie tijdens ons verblijf. We mochten ook kostenloos annuleren en elders iets zoeken maar aangezien het al donker werd, we de omgeving nog niet kenden en geen zin hadden in een holderdebolder nieuwe zoektocht naar een ander verblijf gingen we akkoord met het gratis ontbijt. Het ontbijt was super en zeker een mooi gebaar. We blijven het wel jammer vinden dat we van de werken niet op de hoogte gesteld werden voor aankomst. Bij de aankomst zelf sta je dan voor een voldongen feit (en is de kans uiteraard kleiner dat je zal verlopen van hotel). De hutjes en het ontbijt waren gelukkig wel top.  Ook waren we wat ontgoocheld in de scooterverhuur. We boekten speciaal via het hotel om zeker te zijn dat de scooter in orde zou zijn, maar de brommer was oud en versleten, de linkerspiegel was gebroken en viel er plots volledig uit tijdens de 1e kilometer rijden en 's avonds merkten we dat het achterlicht het niet deed. Beide problemen werden gelukkig snel hersteld. Als je dan non stop scooterverhuurbedrijven passeert met superdegelijke, goed onderhouden scooters dan ga je je toch afvragen waarom je bij het hotel hebt geboekt. We hebben na Mao Mao nog 6 keer een scooter gehuurd op andere plaatsen (2 op Siargao en de rest op andere eilanden in de Filipijnen) en die waren allemaal super in orde. Het wordt ongetwijfeld fantastisch wanneer het zwembad is afgewerkt (de werken zouden in principe maar een maand duren)!

Staying at Maomao was a wonderful experience. A warm, welcoming community formed during our stay with other guests, the staff, the surfing instructors and the owners. The huts are clean, free of bugs or other animals. They offer excellent, professional one-on-one surfing lessons and there’s a lovely chill-out area with good music, tasty breakfast and great coffee. We loved every moment and hope to come back again — it was truly hard to leave this place.

Location is very good, close to the city center but far enough from the mess and confusion of the main street. The house is very cosy, confortable and although there is no AC there are lots of fans in the bedroom. Breakfast Menu is amazing and all the options were better than the other. The cafe area was very chill and welcoming to spend free time. The playlist of the cafe is just perfect. Cool vibe. The staff is very friendly, especially Topi.

Sometimes, there was a strong smell of sewage in street. I totally understand it may not be on their hands to control it, but it may be unconfortable sometimes.

We loved our stay at Mao Mao! The huts are beautiful, clean and well equipped with enough space to unpack your bag and storage places. The ensuite bathroom is spacious and clean and we loved the bamboo shower. All staff are super friendly and helpful and thorough instagram dm is was super easy to arrange transportation, surf lessons and other activities. We did multiple surf lessons with the best (and certified) surf instructors. We absolutely had a great time staying here for a week and would love to come back!

Close from restaurants and town, nice vibe.

The huts were super cute and the ensuite bathrooms were a dream. The location on the island is just perfect and the inhouse surflessons are such a great bonus - all surf instructors are super nice and qualified. I really loved my stay (I stayed 8 nights) and would 100% recommend to anyone.

Some downsides: - no AC - the huts are not sound proof, you can quite easily hear your neighbours talk. - the neighbouring property (a restaurant) was located right nextdoor and you could hear that easily

It is a little paradise. The huts are super confy and designed so beautiful! The surf lessions are very professional. The breakfastarea/hangout area is also really confy and the food defently one of the best breakfasts i ever had! A huge thanks to the whole team who made me feel like home. Special thanks to jane, rain and loyed who looked after me when i got really sick 💜

Ver nice huts, breakfast bar was also very nice. Location was really great, calm but not too far from the important places. Surf classes were great!

We did lose electricity once at night, which makes it really hot too sleep without fan. Unfortunately the reception doesn’t really arrange airport transportation or scooter rental themselves, but they refer to other suppliers.

Lovely beachy vibes, exactly what I expected. Rooms are cute. Location is great.

The beds are quite small for such a hot place with no air con. Also there is no vibe at Mao Mao as the cafe/bar area closes at 3pm!

We were here last year (April 2024) and we fell in love with the place so decided to come back. The charm is still there, the whole place is super pretty. The location is really good, the bathroom/bedroom is very unique and you can really enjoy some amazing breakfast. Also big thanks to the kitchen team and reception for making us feel very welcome.

However, we were a bit disappointed this year. For this price, we expected more compared to other stays in the neighborhood, no improvements were done throughout the year. There is still no airconditioning (only 3 fans but it just doesn’t do the job), the internet in the huts is bad, it only works well in the breakfast area. We stayed for 4 nights and during this time we didn’t have any roomservice, no fresh towels while you’re surfing everyday isn’t a luxury. Everything became more expensive (even though the portions got smaller), the surf lessons, the breakfast bar with extra service charges… it just felt a bit off.

Such cool huts. Beautiful safe location and incredible breakfast. Great fun using the surf gym too. Did a surf lesson with Ryan and he was fantastic. Really boosted my confidence.

We felt the heat but fans cooled us down.

Amazing place 👏 Liked the location as well! Would bring own rashguard, surfboard and bike helmet to maximise the experience😄

We loved the huts and tropical vibe, the bed was super comfortable and we were cool enough at night with the fans provided. Also super friendly owners who were always available to help with anything we needed, and gave some good local recommendations. The breakfast at the cafe is a standout, food was amazing and well priced. We also enjoyed the surf lesson booked through Mao Mao, and the use of the Surf Gym. Loved the resident pets too!

Just a few minor things that might be helpful to know. The shower doesn’t have much pressure at all (more of a strong trickle) and we had issues with the hot water throughout the stay, but the staff tried to help where they could. The hostel next door can be loud at night, nothing Mao Mao can do about this, but might be helpful to know.

We loved the cute huts! You can tell the owners put in a lot of love and effort into the decorations and general set up of the rooms. The semi-outdoor bathroom is also really cool and very big. Massive shoutout also to the owners and the staff! They were the SWEETEST people. They make you feel so welcome and at home, are always happy to help and have a chat. Special shoutout to the receptionist Rain, who remembered our names from day one and always greeted us with a heartfelt smile. Rain (ironically) certainly boosted our mood while it was raining for 4 days straight (which was our fault because we stayed on Siargao during rainy season). The breakfast served at the adjacent coffee bar is simply divine. Loads of options and so beautifully prepared/decorated. We'll definitely be back :)

The bed is quite small for two people, particularly when you take into account that the huts don't have AC, just fans. When it rains for a longer period everything gets a bit damp inside.

Cute, comfortable and calm huts to enjoy the beautiful Siargao.

Very cozy and clean, staff was so kind and friendly.

Loved the style of the huts and the interiors felt very homely.

Very cool boho-style furnished huts with a half outdoor-bathroom. Very friendly, helpful stuff.

-

The property was amazing and the cottages were very comfortable. The restaurant had delicious dishes and the quality of food was excellent! One of the best breakfast meals!

Sometimes it was a bit humid inside the cottage.

The little hut was super cute and cozy and we loved the outdoor bathroom! There are nice cafes all around to enjoy pancakes and smoothie bowls. Mao Mao can help you with any tours etc you wanna go on, very convenient. But the absolute best of all was the surfing!! I went surfing on my last day and it was so amazing that I wish I could go again! I’ve surfed before in different countries and never did super well but just one session with Mao Mao and I felt like I improved immensely and had so so much fun (thank you surf coach Mike!). Even getting to the place by scooter, exploring the island, seeing the lush, green rainforest and palm trees was an experience itself already. I can’t recommend it enough! 😊🏄🏽‍♀️🤙🏼

Nothing that bothered us too much but it might be worth mentioning for more sensitive people that it is not super quiet in the evening because of a nearby hostel playing loud music 😅

Tucked away in an alley away from the crowds within walking distance from the center of General Luna, this spot was the reason I ended up staying in Siargao. The jungle vibes, combined with surf lessons from the best surfers in town, had me hooked for life. Huge thanks to Cara, Marco, and the team at Mao Mao Surf for the hospitality, and an extra shoutout to one and only Kent for his awesome teaching!!Until next time!

Everything was just perfect

That we had to leave;)

We had an amazing time at mao mao! The rooms are super cute, with outdoor bathroom! True island vibe experience! They organized our private surf session and the staff were all soooo kind!

A little further away from General Luna but quickly accessible by Tuk Tuk (5mins)

Fabulous spot with ethereal rooms that are super comfy. A great experience.

The staff were very friendly, we felt like the part of the Mao Mao family! The rooms are comfortable even without an AC, we needed 4 fans. The breakfast served here is amazing! We'll come back for sure!

We liked the overall ambience at the property. The owners and staffs are super friendly, to be honest, it felt like visiting relatives you haven’t seen in a while! Took me a while before writing a review, it breaks my heart knowing we already left this place! They organised most of our activities: surf sessions, island tours, airport pick ups, motorbike rentals, in-house massage, list of places to dine at. They made our honeymoon run smoothly, introduced us to the best people and places in Siargao, and gave us the best memories of our lives! You’re not booking just a property to stay at, it’s a whole vibe and experience you’re booking with Maomao Surf!

Breakfast so good I gained 3 kilos. Staffs so friendly and ambience so homey - now we are saving up to go back next year!!

We had an extraordinary stay at MaoMao Surf. The little houses are even more beautiful than on the pictures. The outdoor bathroom is really nice and the room was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and there were enough fan’s in the room. The staff is really friendly and all in all it was really nice. We rented a bike which was really nice and also we did a surf lesson which I would really recommend.

Just minor details, I was not the biggest fan of these sheets, I prefer cotton or linen. Something that did not bother me because I had good earplugs, but it is something to be prepared for is that hostel next door plays really loud music until late so earplugs were needed for sleeping.

The design of this hotel will make you feel like you are back in the jungle and nature, with many things made of bamboo, including the showers. We love it!!! It’s a nice place to relax. The staff is very friendly and welcoming! The breakfast is also very delicious. It is the best breakfast I have had on the island😋 The hotel also offers surfing lessons with drone filming. Their instructors are very professional and they can do surf analysis after the lesson according to the drone films to correct problems and improve surf skills! Btw, there are many fans in the room although no AC. It doesn’t matter.

It would be nice if the bathroom had a curtain to prevent water from splashing onto the floor outside

Staying at Mao Mao was everything I expected and then some. Everyone from the receptionist to the surf instrocturs was super helpful and welcoming. The rooms are nice and the public area is fantastic to chill, read and meet new people. If you're interested in staying in a lovely place, meeting lovely people and improve your surfing, this place is for you!

You get power outages on the island from time to time. Siargao is not the Maldives, so don't expect 5 star comfort and you'll have a great time!

The huts are cute and is a quiet environment to stay in. Breakfast is good and the reception has nice area to relax.

There is no aircon in the room and there were some electricity works going on, we struggled to sleep.

Really nice accomodation. The host is very friendly and extremely welcoming, full of hints and tips. My stay was very easy and comfortable.

The rest of the staff barely acknowledged your existence, positively unfriendly - made a slightly odd atmosphere. I wouldn't describe this as a surf camp, but picturesque accomodation that offers surf lessons as an extra.

The location, the staff, breakfast and the good vibes!

Some noise at night coming from another hostel next to Mao Mao. It ended early though, nothing crazy.

The eco design !

The best people, the best surfing, the best avo toast and bowls

Great Vibe. Tasty breakfast. Really nice huts.

Can’t think of anything!

Very nice and clean place!!! They serve excellent food. Good surflessons. Friendly staff!

No AC (only fan), so very hot at night.

Very clean and comfortable. Perfect location practically in General Luna but a bit outside the noise, so that you can relax (max 5min with bike). Cloud 9 is also a 5-minute bike ride away. The huts and the overall vibes are very relaxing, we had really good sleeps. Very friendly and helpful staff, organised bike, boat tours and surfing lessons really fast. Ready to help us out with any questions we may have had. We had a perfect time, thank you very much 😊

Absolutely wonderful! Amazing people and great for surfing lessons. Amazing breakfast :). Definetely recommended. Cara, Marco and Yen are the best.

We loved our stay at Mao Mao! Everyone was so kind and friendly and made us feel very welcome. We loved the opportunity to book surfing lessons as well. Would love to come again someday!

Unique structure. Feels close to nature. My sis & I enjoyed our stay. :) Thank you.

What a way to experience outdoor living! The rooms are super comfortable, clean, and the outdoor shower space is extremely cool. The staff is extremely friendly and sweet.

The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful, surfing lessons were fun and very good. It was my first time surfing and Pali was a great teacher! They also have amazing breakfast options, my favourite were the smoothie bowls. Super cute accommodation too, will definitely be back!

The bathroom is open air and although it's sheltered I had a frog in my shower for some days and the bamboo can be a bit uncomfortable to stand on. Minor but to be considered!

Such cute little huts. Friendly and helpful staff. Only 5 huts so vibe is really nice and chilled. Will come back and stay again! We loved it.

We loved our stay at Mao Mao! For us it had everything we needed to feel super comfortable, it is a very thoughtful, stylish place. It has just the right amount of comforts that makes it feel special. Highly recommend the surf lessons too! Thanks so much to Len for the warm hospitality and Kent and Ryan for the lessons :) Mao Mao really feels like a family and that radiated into it feeling like ‘home’ more than a hotel in the best way. Wish we stayed longer! Will absolutely be back next time we’re in Siargao and will recommend to friends! Thank you 💕

Beautiful place. Large rooms, clean and I may be repetitive, but beautiful. The staff is always friendly, helpful and patient. Patients because I asked them a thousand things and they always helped me with everything. The breakfast was very good, the best in the place ever. Absolutely i recommend it and i will definitely come back and do more surf lessons and tours. Thanks everyone

Best place in Siargao. Nice staff, good breakfast and incredibly talented surf instructors!

We loved our stay here! It looks exactly as online and we felt so welcomed by Ien and his colleagues. The rooms are super cute and are being cleaned daily, the outdoor bathroom was lovely too. We had breakfast one morning and it was delicious. We tried the cafe next door the next morning (which was great too). We booked surfing through them as well and had to reschedule one lesson, Cara was incredibly responsive and flexible. We felt very accommodated! They also shared plenty of island recommendations with us and it genuinely felt as if they wanted us to have the very best time in Siargao. We decided to stay 2 nights and move to another hotel before getting to the Philippines and regretted our choice. Would 100% recommend to book when coming to Siargao! :-)

Only thing I can think of are the towels - they left quite some cotton residue on the skin after showering which was uncomfortable when putting cream on after.
