We loved everything about this place! Sunsets outside our room were the highlight of our stay. The dogs greeted us everyday and sat with us for sunset - very sweet! Our room was super spacious and comfortable. Very quiet area, great location!
The only thing was the unpredictable water pressure - tap sometimes spits out water when you first turn it on. And somewhat unreliable wifi in rooms but wasn’t too bad!
Direkt am Strand. Sehr nettes Personal.
Family friendly place. Great views nice beach. Nice kitchen area with free Friday dinner. Free self service pancakes every morning.
Amazing garden, wonderful trees, good location, close to everything, but still quiet
Double bed consisted of two single mattresses
Residencia Diosa is spotless and well-kept, making it a comfortable base for exploring. Its beachfront location is perfect for snorkeling, with easy access to clear waters and marine life. The staff are outstanding — friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. To top it off, the property offers stunning sunset views that make evenings unforgettable. A great choice for travelers who value both cleanliness and authentic seaside experiences. Adding to the charm are Ashra and Panda, the lovable, friendly dogs who make the stay feel even more like home. Great location for couples
All is perfect
Location was fab right on the beach and close to Tubod marine sanctuary.
Nothing really. A television might have been a nice option just for occasional use. But I understand you don’t go there for Tv
The bed, pillows & ac were good. The fact that they rent bikes is a plus. They are redoing the pool & it will be nice. There ia an amazing restaurant in walking distance for dinner.
The construction noice was all day. The roosters started at 5am and the construction at 7am. They say breakfast included but do not tell you whats included, & the upcharge you for everything. The location is far out.
Situated close to all the facilities of San Juan and Tubod Beach but with a quiet location well off the road and looking out to sea. While some of the fittings in our bungalow were a bit tired it was well appointed, the shower was good and we had a great time just sitting on the terrace enjoying the peacefulness and the sea view. The staff were great and the Friday night dinner for staff and guests was a very nice touch. We only ended up here through a failed booking elsewhere and it turned out to be a real bonus for us
Quiet escape just 5min by car outside town but with a couple shops and cafes easy walking distance away. Small beach in front with access to Tubod Marine Santuary but need to swim 500-800m. Very shallow in front so no swimming. Clean and comfortable. Shared kitchen available. Kettle in room handy and ac strong.
WiFi was not functional in room. Only WiFi in shared kitchen area. And cell phone data didn’t work. I had to walk up to road for service or sit in kitchen to do work. If internet is important, the bad connection really made researching plans difficult. Cold shower. Had hot water only 1 day for electric shower.
Super schöne Anlage mit geräumigen Zimmern und Bungalows direkt am Strand mit Meerblick. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und wir hatten eine super Zeit!
top Lage direkt am Meer. Zum Baden sind Badeschuhe notwendig. Beim Schnorcheln haben wir jeweils Schildkröten gesehen. Sehr ruhig aber etwas abseits. Man braucht ein Motorbike während dem Aufenthalt.
Everything !
Lahat approve ✔️✔️✔️
Staff are very nice. Our room is very clean, quiet and has a superb view of the sea. Very relaxing atmosphere. Beach is just few steps away. Best sunset everyday 😍 There was a surprised free buffet meal on Friday c/o the owner and lovely staff who prepared them.
Just the beach area is a bit rocky but otherwise it's probably for the better as not many people wandering around. It's almost like a private beach. Needs provision for hanging wet swimming gears.
Very reasonable All staff friendly The owner invited us for food Friday night. Very good Opportunity to bring own food and cook it Delux room sea view lovely sunset
No shower gel hair products provided
Très bel endroit verdoyant, fleuri et bien entretenu. Là cuisine extérieure est un atout ainsi que la plage privée et spot pour couché de soleil. Prêt de masque et tuba. Staff très discret.
Mauvaise evacuation des eaux usées de la salle de douche et déchets présents plusieurs jours.
Emplacement, face à la mer
Douche avec peu de débit comme beaucoup endroit aux philippines
Couldnt have been in a better location for sunset and in walking distance to some great food places, others a short tuk tuk away. The staff were so lovely and accommodating and the rooms are comfy and big feels like luxury. Would stay here again if i ever came back me and my family loved it.
Nothing
L 'emplacement face a la mer tous les jours j'ai aperçu des tortues Le confort de la chambre et son environnement sympa
La propreté de la cuisine commune ce n est pas de la responsabilité du personnel mais des personnes qui l 'utilisent
Bylismy niestety tylko jedna noc, nocleg zalatwiony z dnia na dzien, zarezerwowalismy dwa domki a mimo to dostalismhy je obok siebie i do tego zaraz przy plazy. Plaza piszczysto - kamienista, w morzu rafy, Bardzo przyjemne miejsce, bardzo fajnie zagospodarowane, wokol piekne rosliny, przygotowane miejsce (krzeselka) na skarpie z widokiem na morze. Chetnie bym tam wrocila. W obiekcie obok (po lewej) jedlismy najlepsze (i jedno z tanszych) jedzenie podczas calego naszego pobytu na Filipinach.
W jednym z domkow nie bylo cieplej wody, jednak nie przeszkadzalo to bardzo, gospodarze pozwolili tez korzystac z innego miejsca z ciepla woda.
Está rodendo de arboles, animales como gallinas, perros y gatos. Tiene acceso a una playa rocosa y solitaria, donde tienes un lugar perfecto para ver los atardeceres. Si te gusta esta en contacto con la naturaleza y buscas tranquilidad, este es tu sitio. Playa cercana a solo dos minutos en moto como Tobuc y el trabajadores son amables y atentos. Ademas de tener cocina para compartir y el area es bastante grande.
L’endroit est génial. Nous avions la chambre en bord de mer avec une vue incroyable notamment au coucher de soleil. Le snorkelling est excellent, des poissons, tortues et serpents de mer (très rares). Proche de San Juan et de bons restos en scooter (vous pouvez louer sur place pour pas cher) Génial !!
Il manque juste un restaurant ou un bar.
La habitación era cómoda y limpia
No me gustó que los baños estaban en malas condiciones y sucios, deberían invertir dinero en arreglarlo
Location was amazing. Especially access to great spot for snorkeling
Ocean view
Bathrooms
Cleaning comfortable rooms. Right on the beach with good snorkeling out front. The owners were very nice and accommodating
Ubicacion
El lugar es muy lindo. Tiene una cocina común, bajada a la playa y el personal es muy amable. Nos ayudaron en todo. Tuvimos un ciclón y se cortó la electricidad en toda la isla. Hicieron lo mejor posible para que estemos contentos y cómodos. Gracias.
El sitio en si con vistas al mar. nos tuvimos que quedar tres noches más debido a una tormenta tropical. Se cancelaron todos los ferrys y toda la isla se quedó sin electricidad. La dueña nos dejó la misma habitación por muy poco dinero y nos ayudó en todas las gestiones que tuvimos que hacer. Un 10 en todos los aspectos. Volvería sin dudarlo.
Nada
L'emplacement proche du centre et la terrasse vue mer qui est superbe. La tranquillité des lieux et la réactivité du personnel.
Very clean dorm with make your own banana pancakes available for breakfast. Friendly owners and staff. It's location is a little to the edge of San Juan and it's set in lovely gardens of palms and shady setting, leading to beach
Nothing
Forest zone very Eco diverse👍, coral reefs and sea activity access..staff n owners especially Aurora are very accommodating, clean and free buffet every Friday is big plus. Photos are stored in my memory and hearts, definitely worth coming back to stay
Camera molto spaziosa, voto per la la posizione vista mare. Spiaggia privata a disposizione, tramonti bellissimi.
Acqua del bagno qualche volta assente
Vue sur les couchers de soleil
Ça sentait très très fort les égouts , l’emplacement n’est pas pratique du tout , le personnel n’a pas était aidant avec nous , nous n’avons pas passé un bon séjour …
No había ruido, solo se oía el mar desde la habitación La habitación era enorme Tenia restaurantes cerca
Había salamandras en la habitación Las zonas comunes no estaban muy limpias La wifi iba fatal, nos tuvimos que ir a otro sitio a teletrabajar La puerta no cerraba bien del todo y se colaba la luz (y a saber qué bichos...) La ducha no tenía presión ni agua caliente
Goede locatie, dicht bij San Juan het strand en heel rustig. Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Er lekte iets in de badkamer waardoor er constant wat water stond. Niet echt helemaal schoon, best veel spinnenwebben en vuil op bv de brandblusser.
Big room with Ocean view within Jungle Garden
Bathroom smell and mosquitos
Het huisje leek uit op de zee
Het was vergane glorie. Alles was oud en versleten. De tuin was donker en ongezellig. Bijna geen Wifi en vaak geen of heel weinig water.
lokatie om te snorkelen
geen internet geen wifi, tegels vielen van de muur in de badkamer, niet 1 maar halve wand storten in tijdens ons verblijf, we hadden 3 kamers , maar 1 kamer had water om te douchen, kan echt niet, iedereen van ons gezelschap heeft in die ene kamer moeten douchen. Personeel excuseerde zich maar is een probleem van hert eiland zeggen ze dan.Als je dus de verkeerde kamer krijgt toegewezen kun je niet douchen na het snorkelen.Dus gewoon niet boeken deze accomodatie.
Die gesamte Anlage ist schön begrünt und natürlich, die Zimmer sind ca 200 m bis 300 m von der Hauptstraße entfernt. Betten bequem, Zimmer sehr groß, Klimaanlage leise. Bad groß mit abgegrenzten Duschbereich. Gute Handtücher. Wasserspender im Zimmer. Mit dem Scooter wenige Minuten zu Restaurants usw.
WLAN hat gar nicht funktioniert im Zimmer/ Balkon und Umgebung. Grundsätzlich schlechter Empfang, was sehr nervt. Man muss zur Rezeption hoch wenn man dringend Internet braucht. Bei Ebbe ist Schnorcheln oder schwimmen nicht möglich. Möbel auf dem Balkon/Terrasse zwar landestypisch (Bambus), aber unbequem.
Vistas preciosas. Está a 5 min del santuario de Tubod. Personal super amable y el alojamiento muy limpio. Tiene una puesta de sol espectacular
Todo perfecto
Fue todo perfecto tranquilidad ubicación y relación calidad precio
Que no tuviera desayuno
The sea front view every morning. Spacious room.
The water flow from the shower was really not good and the wifi network was really bad. From the first day until the last day (4 days) there’s no signal from the wifi in our room.
La zona és molt tranquil·la, rodejada de vegetació i amb una platja molt bonica just davant, pots accedir des de l'allotjament.
Lage, Preis Leistung optimal, super liebes personal
WLAN nur am Balkon nicht im Zimmer
It was quite clean for an area with a lot of plants and by the beach. The beach being near made it cool and the waves as background noise was nice. It was well maintained, the structures, and the bathroom were complete, functional, and proper. The bathroom especially was clean and top quality. Even with the recent black-outs, the room remained cool and still a place you're able to sleep in. The staff were very nice and considerate. As well as contacting them through phone was very good and the bookings are well-organized, you don't have to doubt it.
Nothing much, the problems we encountered concerned of a more general issue with the power in Siquijor at that time, the hotel itself had no true issues.
Big rooms, okay location, nice staff, and the dinner party with owners.
Just a bit overgrown yard. But it's ok. And aircon unit in our room, a little slow (less cold).
We were genuinely surprised by how much we enjoyed our stay at Residencia Diosa. The whole place feels like a peaceful garden retreat, just off the road but quiet and serene. Perfect for travelers with a motorbike. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated with local art, and probably the largest we’ve stayed in during our year and a half in the Philippines. It had everything—AC, large bathroom, fridge, kettle, a nice terrace with furniture—everything you’d expect for a comfortable stay. The room faced the sea, and while there’s no sandy beach, you can swim right in front of the resort or use the nearby public beach just a few steps away. There’s no restaurant on site, but a shared kitchen is available, and plenty of eateries are within a 5-minute walk. Covered parking for bikes and cars was a great bonus during the rain. Very happy with our stay. Would absolutely return.
Internet didn’t work at all and it was the only one hotel on the whole island where wasn’t a generator, so there didn’t work an internet, the AC and was no electricity.
Location
The electric was off more than on, apparently a regular occurrence but not mentioned at all.
Super friendly staff. Very homely vibes. They had a free dinner every Friday so it was easy to meet people.
No backup generator so when the electricity went off the rooms got very warm
Perfect place . Beautiful sunset
All is perfect .
Perfect location close to dive shops and on the beach with a great snorkeling! Great set up with view on the sea and direct access to the beach metres away. The garden is also beautiful and make the place really enjoyable.
Nothing
Our room was quiet and the location is exceptional.
There was a brown-out (no the fault of RD), without AC or a fan it was really uncomfortable.I would really suggest an investment in an emergency generator and AC. Parking a car was also less than desirable.
I liked everything except the internet wasn’t in room either from WiFi or data
The location was stunning! Beach front and amazing to watch the sunset. Also close to main San Juan area but very peaceful and close to Tubog beach which was our favourite in Siquijor. The staff were super helpful. We planned to stay for 3 nights and ended up extending to 5 which was not an issue!
Our room did not have air conditioning (which we knew when we booked) so it was a bit warm at night and when windows were left open mosquitos got in. The staff were also helpful and provided mosquito repelling candles etc.
Property is directly near the beach. Sad our stay was only quick I would have dipped at the beach as there were also boulders that would’ve been picture worthy. You can enjoy sunrise and sunset there as they have lounge chairs outside. They also have dogs and cats that are well taken care of and are friendly which shows the owner is good also to animals. Bathroom is clean and spacious. Beds were also neat. Service was good. It was raining when we checked out and the lady staff there offered to assist us with umbrellas to get to our service car. Even though we got a fan room, it was breezy and cold like we were on AC as the place can get chill at night. Good thing they have mosquito screens so we can open our jailousie windows a bit at night to let the night breeze in. I love that they have given us proper blankets as usually for other accommodation they offer only teeny tiny blankets hahah. They also have a gallon of water prepped for us yeeey
May be a little outdated in terms of interior but still serves us well. Working station/ dining chairs is too bulky. Some lights are faulty, electric wires have to be taken care of also as some of it is not well wrapped with electrical tape and zapped us a bit.
Nice room,and front of sea ! Friendly staff and beautiful garden. (And pretty cats😸)
Nothing
This was such a lovely getaway on Siquijor. It’s about a 20 minute tricycle from siquijor port (350 pesos) or 35 minute tricycle from Larena port (700 pesos). It’s about a 20 minute walk onto San Juan main part, but there are lots of eateries around the accommodation. We had the sea view room and it was so lovely to wake up the sound of the sea. Great sunsets from there too. The staff were so incredibly kind and did all they could to help with anything, and can help with arranging tuk tuks as well (we had a tuktuk driver who took us to nearby waterfalls and came to collect us 2 hours later). It was very quiet in the accommodation, but this will depend on the other guests too. A couple of drawbacks: the WiFi in the room wasn’t great, but we didn’t need it for work and we didn’t try it in the main area as it wasn’t that important to us. The toilet wouldn’t refill to flush; they fixed it once but after that we just refilled the cistern ourselves with the bidet next to the toilet. The shower also didn’t have the best flow. However we would absolutely stay here again despite these things as they are just little issues.
No bunk beds.
Noisy because of a large amount of roosters screaming non-stop, no hot water in the shower at all, no air conditioning, there are individual power points in the room to charge phones and also in inaccessible places. The toilets and showers are on another floor.
acommodation was clean and friendly, stuff sre very, very helpful and nice people! for sure is the best hostel at Siquijor
The property is exceptionally pleasant, serene, and conveniently accessible. Although I was invited to a party, I was unfortunately under the weather. Fortunately, a kind lady offered me menthol candies that provided relief for my sore throat.
Good place to the price
The staff was amazing always ready to help, and they even organize a small dinner for Valentines day with free foods with the staff and the guest. A few steps from the beach and the sea, amazing spot to enjoy the sunset
Nothing
The only thing I like is it was a kind of camping
The beds are next to each other worse than in the army. It was people having sex in the same sharing dorms, really unrespectful french guy, anyway the staff didn't do anything.The only place you can put things is on the floor or in your locker not really handy places.The room is really hot, the funs doesn't do much. At the toilet was light enough and no hangers or something where you can put your belongings.
Booking the sea view room was the best thing we could have done for our trip. Amazing views, a private quiet beach, and snorkelling right outside our door. The room was spacious and air conditioning worked well. The property is filled with beautiful plants too.
Wifi did not work well for us :(
