Punta Punta Surf Retreat

Staff, location, outdoor shower and food

Paid for an Ocean View Room, did not get it. There should be a lesser price to pay for a room that is not ocean view at all, it was tree and reception and garden view at best. Asked to be moved to the 'actual' ocean view room when we saw the occupants had checked out, was told no. The 2 stars is for the premise of booking this retreat in the first place, for the ocean view that is pictured on their booking.com page. Did not recieve the view at all. See the photo attached for the true view that we got. Room 10-3 by the way. Food and staff were fantastic though. I suggest you update your pictures and then adjust the pricing of the non ocean view rooms accordingly. Rooms do not include coffee or fridges which I consider ludicrous for the the prices being paid. There are often Brownouts where the power cuts off, when this happens Punta Punta has a generator but it is not sufficient in size to power the Air Conditioners in the rooms, I suggest you upscale them to power the ACs for your guests as we were left with no AC for nearly the whole first day of the stay.

Beautiful, relaxing, and the kindest people running the retreat! Surfing lessons were exceptional! Food and drinks were also great!

Nothing!

This was one of my favorite ever places to stay. Punta Punta is an oasis of tranquility, away from the busy General Luna, yet perfectly accessible by scooter. The views from my room otherworldly- the sunrises, the palm trees and the waves. The boho-style room and bathroom are absolutely beautiful, yet perfectly comfortable. The most beautiful sunset on Catangan Beach is just a short ride away. All the staff is beyond wonderful- they kindly organized a scooter rental for me and helped me get started, they booked me a wonderful surf lesson and the food from the restaurant is incredible. I met so many wonderful people here even though I was traveling solo. I absolutely loved Punta Punta and cannot wait to be back. 10000/10 recommended, my favorite place to stay!

The vibe was like no other ❤️

Everything!!!!

Really cool spot, absolutely loved the glamping tents and the outdoor bathrooms with so much greenery.

This place is super relaxing and tucked out of the busyness of town but it does mean you need to moped everywhere.

Nous avons adoré le personnel très accueillant et à l’écoute. L’emplacement est parfait car très calme.

Les chats peuvent miauler le matin.

Tutto! Personale top. Bella serata posizione.. il loro gattino mi è rimasto nel cuore

Perfect spot with an unbeatable location and seriously outstanding food—I didn’t have a single bad meal. Everything on the menu was incredible, huge credit to the chef and kitchen team. The warm, genuine hospitality really made my week!

Ik zou Punta Punta Surf Retreat aan iedereen aanraden! Het is echt een prachtige plek met goed onderhouden landschap en erg mooie kamers. De buitendouche was echt prachtig. Het personeel was extreem behulpzaam en vriendelijk: bij aankomst een heerlijk welkomstdrankje, kleren wassen werd binnen een paar uur schoon op onze kamer gelegd, als we even op de ligbedden gingen liggen in de zon werd er ijskoud water gebracht, het bed werd elke dag opgemaakt. Het ligt iets uit het centrum waardoor je geen last hebt van geluid en 's ochtends wakker wordt van het geluid van de zee, heerlijk! Ook het ontbijt wat je hier kan halen was erg lekker en gezond. Ik had hier graag langer willen blijven en zou zeker terug komen!

L accueil et le jardin

Emplacement un peu loin du centre mais ok

Die Lage und die Unterkunft sind traumhaft und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Obwohl es etwas abseits liegt, hatten wir unsere Ruhe und mit dem Roller ist man in 5 Minuten im Zentrum. Die Surfkurse waren sehr gut, die Lehrer haben sich viel Zeit genommen und wir konnten viel lernen. Auch das Frühstück war köstlich. Da es viel geregnet hatte, war es etwas feucht im Zelt. Eine heiße Dusche wäre schön gewesen, aber das ist auf den Philippinen sehr selten.

What an amazing place on earth. Peaceful, beautiful, slowing down. We had the 2 bedroom villa which is beautifully furnished. The food is healthy and yummy! We even had lunch or dinner . Milk alternatives are available. The staff is super kind and helpful. We made a surf course and they provided the kindest teacher with lots of patience he brought us to an amazing spot . In the evening a short ride brings you to village. We did not rent scooters but we got a tuck tuck organized by the hotel. We come back with the whole family .

Just amazing . Nothing to change .

Tolle Lage zum Surfen, sehr schöne Unterkunft mit leckerem Essen und super freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal.

Loved our stay at Punta Punta. The staff are amazing and were really helpful with everything. The food and homemade smoothies and drinks were incredible as well. Can't recommend enough to stay here. Slightly outside General Luna which was perfect to be away from the hussle and bussle but only a 10 min scooter into the town. We'll 100% be back!

Habíamos reservado la suite deluxe con vistas al océano, lamentablemente cuando llegamos nos dieron una que no tenía vistas al mar, al reclamar nos informaron que no tenían ninguna con vista al mar, no solo eso sino que además nos dieron una habitación con cero privacidad ya que daba directamente al bar y al acceso del personal a la cocina. La solución del dueño era devolvernos la plata, sabiendo que ya habíamos llegado hasta allí y que no había disponibilidad en otro sitio con vista al mar. Su única respuesta era que tenía buenas críticas en booking, como si eso solucionara el problema de que no nos estaban ofreciendo lo que contratamos.

Beautiful location, surfboard use, surf right off the resorts property, beautiful accommodation and very freely and welcoming staff

Nothing! It was all we needed and more

The personnel was friendly and easily approachable. The food was very good, diverse range of meals, all super tasty!

The tent we slept in had a beautiful view on the ocean, waking up with the sounds of the waves was lovely. However the tent itself was a bit mouldy on some spots and one of the zippers didn’t function properly.

Super helpful and friendly staff. Loved the location: outside of the busy center, but still really easy to get everywhere.

Das Frühstück war mega gut!

Es hat 2 Tage sehr stark geregnet

A beautiful villa fit for a family of 6-7 people, big kitchen space, “lounge room” and dining area. Comfortable beds, with stylish furniture and open floor plan. AC works well upstairs and in second bedroom. The staff were very accommodating during our stay, and had good facilities such as a bar, plant based food options for breakfast and during the day snacks, group yoga classes upon request, a small pool central of the retreat and laundry services. Very happy with how excellent the staff were for our family!

Location: The location of the retreat is hidden away from essential facilities, food/bar, all shops etc. but tricycles may pass by and take you around - Otherwise we hired a scooter for roughly 400peso a day to get around the travel. Limited AC units: In our deluxe family villa, there was no aircon in the main lounge room area which can become quite warm very easily - There are no window coverings on the sides of the building and so the sun warms up the room from morning to evening. Same goes for the upstairs room where there is no window shade on the side window so the room will become warm if you don’t leave the AC on all day. Electricity issue: Caution with using the main lights or too much electricity as the main lights will start to flicker - This is unavoidable as the villa is on a shared electricity grid with the other accommodation. Kitchen: If you plan to cook in the family villa, keep in mind that the retreat has VERY limited utensils/cutlery, plates and bowls, pans and pots. This was frustrating for our family as we planned to cook everyday for 6 pax. STAIRS!!: Please please be mindful if children come to this villa as there are NO stairs going to the main sleeping quarters upstairs. This stopped our older family members from going upstairs at all due to the fear of falling. This would be a major safety concern for children willing to climb, or someone afraid of heights. I did not notice this in the photos for the Villa and should be included in the description of the master bedroom.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit Blick aufs Meer Grosses Outdoor Badezimmer Super nettes Personal

Nicht unbedingt ein Badestrand

Everything was just right about this place. Food is healthy and tasty, Lisa and her crew are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, and the place is a safe heaven in Siargao. HUGE thank you for the magical stay, the flexibility and the fun. (didn't book the retreat, just the hotel).

I didn't like having to leave after 5 wonderful days. Book at least 10 ! :)

Literally everything. I’m an interior styling + vibe nerd. So with those powers combined, my Crown Chakra tingled when I pulled up in the van. Down the tropical landscaping laced pebble walkway, leads you down to the common area complete with beach front (!), a pool, a cafe/bar hut (complete with a chill & well fed resident kitty family!!!) and the most welcoming friendly & sweetest onsite staff you will ever encounter. Lloyd, Vanessa & Leizl, are the most beautiful & obligating hosts. The service extended even post visit when my chaotic ADHD brain left my card in a tuk tuk when I was due to leave, Leizl was instantly available (when she didn’t have to be) to make calls for me to try and locate and assist with cash withdrawal contingency options. Not only that, we had mad chats throughout my stay, hence why we connected via WhatsApp for her to be available to my self inflicted emergency. Now back to the aesthetics & vibes. Everything is sustainable, everything is stunning, what you see on the websites is exactly what you get. I almost cried leaving. I was caught in Typhoon Tino in Palawan and half my trip flopped as a result. Leizl, Lloyd, Vanessa & my fellow guests now new mates resurrected my trip. Yes this is long but everyone needs to know. Don’t stay anywhere else in Siar-Wow. See you in May 2026!!!

That I had to leave.

Das war gut 👍 tolle Lage und Nette Personal. Eine toller Bad 🛁 danke

Nur die Klimaanlage für Sommersaison sollte besser sein. Insgesamt wir waren zufrieden. Danke

I have just done a surf retreat at Punta Punta and found the staff excellent nothing was to much trouble for them they made us feel like part of the family they all remember your name and was always greeted with a warm happy smile and lots of laughs The food was exceptional including great coffee and fresh fruit drinks The accommodation was just beautiful and the location was perfect I couldn’t recommend this place high enough and will definitely recommend people stay whether privately or with a group

Nothing not to like

Alojamiento fantástico, nos alojamos en la villa y está súper bien. Además imparten clases de surf. La ubicación es muy buena, mu accesible a todos sitios. Su staff es maravilloso, atento en todo momento y muy amables.

El jardin delante del mar, la mesa de madera debajo del árbol para desayunar escuchando las olas.

Nos alojamos en una tienda, pero me habria gustado mas un apartamento. El AC era un poco ruidoso.

Great staff , welcoming and attentive Quiet calm location , a little out of the main General Luna area but easily accessible Great food and smoothies

The staff were very accommodating and nice. They would go out of their way to assist you. They are all very friendly and have a happy demeanor. The place is very relaxing and comfortable, aside from the aesthetics being very beautiful.

Nothing.

Loved it so much I extended my stay. The staff (especially Lisell and Jerwel) are so friendly and welcoming it was easy to spend extra time at the 'bar' chatting. Punta Punta is located 'outside' of town so I highly recommend renting a scooter to get around at your leisure, although they can also organize a tricycle as needed. They can also organize activities/outings, from tours to yoga or an on-site massage. I had daily surf lessons with Jhonly via Punta and made big improvements in 6 short days. The food options are quite varied and they can customize as needed for dietary needs. Room was as-pictured and I found the AC/ceiling fan to cool the space adequately. Punta Punta is quiet piece of paradise perfect for anyone whether traveling solo or with loved ones.

Having to leave! :(

Loved everything about the retreat. Location: just outside of the city, but within 10 minutes of everything needed! Quiet location with water front access! Food: great food for breakfast and lunch. Self made! Atmosphere: welcoming, super friendly atmosphere. Hospitality: 11/10 - everyone super considerate and is pro active! Recommend to book the surf or yoga with them directly-instructors are super fun as well!

Nothing per se. You get what you ask for and more.

Fabulous place next to the Pacífico ocean. Service always helpful giving you solutiom for whatever you need. You can see Cloud 9 waves breaking from the wonderfull garden or even from the breakfast terrace. Surfing lesiones are available and many boards to choose. Thanks to Ezequiel we could stay at the villa for our last 2 nights, but its not only the spacy modern villa but all the hotel in itself is a piece of art. Beautiful.

Nothing at all

Good location and nice staff

Punta punta utilises unfair business practices. According to their room info package the airport transfer costs 1500, but I was charged 2000 for no reason. Additionally, they charged my extra 5% at the resort because I paid with credit card, which is illegal according to local law. Finally, the definition of private bathroom means that the bathroom is not in the room itself, in my case I had to get out of my room and take a staircase.

The place itself is very beautiful and cozy. They have this unique glass door that is so instagrammable. They clean your room everyday. Pretty view from the room.

*The spaces of each corner of the door with mosquito net - this is somehow the reason why the room is not too cold based on AC's temp because the room is not totally sealed. *The bathroom is separate which you have to go down everytime tho it is so beautiful and lots of plants. *No bidet or near faucet in the toilet bowl area (this is my huge suggestion to the owner if you can please provide/improve the bathroom with bidet, that is so helpful for a lot of people.

The view is amazing, the staff is very friendly and its so quite and nice we loved it! it was our favorite accommodation from Philippines!!

They facility is really nice and an amazing spot

Nothing

Location was great, far away enough from general luna that it was quiet and relaxing, but close enough that it was a short scooter ride to get there. The staff was wonderful and caring. The facilities and grounds were lovely. The food at the resort was so yummy, I highly recommend the ramen! We made a package prior to arrival; surfing, massage and yoga along with meals and it was fairly priced and made our stay even better. We will come back again!

The place was perfect. I loved everything about it, especially the room and the outdoor bathroom. The stuff was so helpful and very kind. I will definitley come back again.

The location was so beautiful and clean, the personnel super kind, always smiling and willing to help. Also their food is delicious.

Staff r really friendly

More local food

Great availability and kindness from the staff

The place is amazing

Breakfast was awesome

Very friendly and helping staff and manager. Lovely place to stay. The design of the place is very good and the private sanitary is amazing in a garden vibe.

This is a really nice place to stay, with quiet, spacious grounds and a beautiful view. It feels like an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the streets outside. The staff are absolutely wonderful - very welcoming, friendly and helpful, and always on hand to assist or prepare meals. There is an good menu full of delicious and very healthy options (not always easy to find when traveling). The rooms are spacious and beautifully-designed, and the cleaning is excellent.

This is a nice place to stay, but a couple of things would make it even better: First, note that Siargao gets frequent, island-wide power outages; to deal with this, the hotel have a huge generator that sits right behind the rooms. We had this on for 3-hour intervals for nearly two days of our stay; the noise was hellish when it was on and the heat was unbearable when it was turned off. We have stayed in much more remote parts of the Philippines where they have installed solar panels - they really, really need to do that here. Secondly, it would be great to have some less-virtuous snacks (and even some meat) available on the menu (we're on holiday after all!). The hotel's a little far from the main town so it would be good to have some dinner options, too. Finally, the owners need to neuter their cats!!

Punta Punta is such a unique property and we had an incredible stay! I was blown away by the details in the room and bathroom- very aesthetic! The grounds were also beautiful and the staff was very friendly. We had quite a few meals at the property which were light and healthy and everything was delicious. Although the property is a bit further from town, we had a scooter which made it a quick trip to go anywhere. Also, the Tuk Tuk to town is very affordable and can be arranged by the team. I highly recommend the property and would stay again.

Unique property, lush landscape, beautiful outdoor bathroom, delicious healthy food

A wonderful hotel! Very cozy and comfortable. Amazing food! Caring service. They can arrange everything for your comfortable and amazing stay. It is located away from the party, so there is an atmosphere of calm and tranquility there

All good.

Super friendly Staff at the Bar :) Amazing bathroom full of plants 🥰

What an absolute haven- every little detail was thought of. Beautifully designed, amazing food from the cafe and the staff are absolute angels!

The food was some of the best we had in the General Luna area. We found it filling, healthy, and a perfect way to replenish ourselves between surf sessions. You can tell a lot of effort was made in crafting the menu. Additionally, the staff were kind and willing to make our stay as comfortable as possible. A special shout-out to Nayim for being so positive and helpful.

Nothing - everything was great.

Awesome location, great food, nice room with outdoor bathroom. Lovely chill spaces on the beach front.

Just be aware of mosquitos, especially in the outdoor bathroom. We spotted the ones that carry dengue. (no fault of the accommodations)

A second fam in Philippines - lovely staff. We had a fantastic time at Punta Punta; we surfed, did some yoga, ate delicious vegan food, chilled and ended our stay relaxed with a massage by pro masseuse Gina. Thank you so much 🤩

Aircon in tent could be a bit stronger.

It was cool - a very big space but rather interesting design. I would kill for that kitchen in Singapore, where I live.

Location was miles from anything and down an alley. Zero to so nearby. Bar shuts 8pm. Vegan food only and that was not evident on booking.com. Wine by the glass on menu - oh no not off season - ok don’t use the menu. Past 4pm for check-in.

couldn’t be happier with the time i spent here!! staff and owners are amazing, such friendly and helpful people and every meal i had here felt like a home cooked meal

Great stay, nice property manager and team. Had a fun time. The concept is very beautiful and conscious.

Room (Tent) could have been a little bit cooler at night (although the AC was on full power).

i love the villa

i dont like the service car

Beautiful property right on the water just a little way from General Luna. The view from our room was stunning and the aesthetic of the place is really lovely. They also had really tasty smoothies and snacks for a reasonable price. Staff were also really nice.

A lot of construction happening on the property from about 7am onwards which definitely disturbed the peaceful feel. Also we stayed for 2 nights and no one cleaned our bathroom/emptied the bin at all in this time which was a little surprising and felt unhygienic seeing as you can’t flush toilet paper.

Unique- epic location

Far from the main attractions

Absolutely lovely place, amazing staff and for us perfect quiet location.

If we would have to name something, the air-conditioning was a bit weak and noisy, but better than nothing :) everything else was exceptional! We will come back!

First of all, Nayim and the staff were amazing. Plant-based food was tasty. And the room with the outdoor shower (not to mention the views) exceeded my expectation. Overall, Punta Punta was a great choice away from the hustle and bustle of General Luna.

The staff is very very friendly and helpful! I loved staying in the tent for 4 nights. You could clearly hear the ocean and night sounds, loved it! The outdoor bathroom is a dream. And the food was amazing. Love to come back one day!

Nothing!

Fantastic stay at Punta Punta. The facilities are great, the views amazing and location ideal. Close enough to General Lula and far enough to relax in front of the sea! The service was impeccable. Very good recommendation on what to do in Siargao and great care of their clients! Special thanks to Nayim and Jen!

N/A

Amazing locatio and room!

No beach, not possible to swimm

Literally everything. The people were nice, location was good, beds and bathroom were nice and cosy.

Great location away from the noise but close enough to get to the Main Street. The staff and all the workers are all great, really make an effort to get to know you and make you feel welcome. The bathrooms were also well designed and good. They make it really easy to setup various things to do on the island. I will be back again

Construction on the property before 8am

Amazing place with great people and good food!

I really love the design of the place and also that its a bit away from the city centre... amazing views :)

Price for value unfortunately not good...I expected a refund of some sort but nothing was done. The shower pressure was too low and the water was cold. When we called for support they could only change it to boiling hot and I got burns. So I shower cold most of my stay. The toilet did not flush for almost 2 days, the seat was moving around and at some point even broke off. There was no hair dryer.

This place offers the best view in Siargao. If you want to wake up to "Siargao", this is where you should go.

Great small boutique hotel, very helpful staff and friendly owners! The glamping tents are very comfortable and great bedding sheets

Punta punta was absolutely stunning and one of the best accommodations we have ever stayed at. We loved our room, the open bathroom as well as the amazing food. The staff was amazing and super friendly and the surf course we booked was super nice as well. Thank you to the whole team! And hopefully see you soon.

Place/Spot, Staff, Service, Food.

AC is noisy and inefficient.

Beautiful villa and tent very nicely decorated. Amazing view on the sea. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great location: you are in a peaceful paradise in nature but still very close to General Luna. Very tasty food, big portions.
