YAMA APARTMENTS - Private Beachfront

Friendly staff especially Tricia. Excellent location. Great food, really love the home made ciabatta and the ube cake. Yummy! I really appreciate that they cater to needs of foreigners, even the lettuce is waged with filtered water.

position is perfect: on the beach and 2 min walk to center of town! room is spacious and clean. Very friendly staff, in general. Tricia is super helpful and has a great smile!

chairs in the restaurant and garden are hard. a simple cushion would help ...

Awesome place to be in the thick of it! Awesome staff, great breakfast. Next to the beach, you open the front door and the beach is in front of you!

no pool, or hot tub not really a dislike.

Apartments are clean, comfortable and well maintained. Staff very friendly and courteous! And the location is directly on the beach!

Chairs in the garden and the restaurant were quite uncomfortable.

Gutes Angebot von Essen und Getränken direkt auf dem Gelände, Gutes Frühstück, Lage sehr zentral und schöner Meerblick, Personal super, ruhige Nächte, großer Parkplatz, Wäscheservice und Shops gleich außerhalb an der Straße, Flughafentransfer, Konditorei, gutes WLAN, großer Balkon, sehr gute Klimaanlage, Kühlschrank und Safe vorhanden

Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche ist leider extrem schwach, zeitweise fast nicht vorhanden. Die Fenstergriffe fehlen zum Teil und sind schwer zu schließen. Jeden Tag mehrere Verkäufer die einem Souvenirs verkaufen wollen, sie kommen zwar nicht aufs Gelände aber fragen vom öffentlichen Weg aus

Good Location, nice sea view, two bars & music nearby

Two bars & music nearby

La habitación es muy grande y espaciosa, luminosa y con vistas bonitas al mar. Muy silencioso a pesar de estar muy cerca de la calle central. El personal es muy amable y hace que tu estancia sea especial. Nos sentimos muy agusto.

La playa no es para bañistas, es donde amarran los barcos. Añadiría café americano al menú del desayuno ya que solo incluyen café instantáneo en el precio, al igual que otras opciones más de comida

Posizione ideale fronte mare Camera spaziosa Servizio bar/ristorazione molto comodo Bottigliette d'acqua ogni mattina

Interruzioni di corrente quotidiane, gestibili, ma fastidiose

The location is great and the staff are very friendly and willing to help.

The bathrooms need a revamp. Water was not constant and sometimes no hot water was available.

convenient location, clean, beachfront, fast WiFi, tasty breakfast & kind staff.

Beautiful place, perfect location. Lot's of things to see and do within walking distance. The staff is pure gold!

Les persones que treballen al lloc són fantàstiques, amables i sempre disposades a ajudar-te. Els pastissos i dolços que fan al lloc són molt bons

Fa falta manteniment, el propietari cal que faci arrenjaments, es la seva responsabilitat. Massa rovell , manca petites,reparacions i els filtres de l'aire condicionat s'han de netejar regularment, etc.

Friendly and helpful staff, top location beach and in the center of GL! Brekfast also very good!

Très propre, bien organisé, bien situé (sauf si on veut être isolé), plage la plus sympa de la ville de Général Luna pour se baigner, la chambre est grande, ils fournissent de l'eau et des bouteilles tous les jours, font le ménage selon les demandes, le petit déjeuner est très bon face à la mer (même s'il manque des pancakes à mon goût).

Musique le soir en raison du bar derrière mais on s'y fait ce n'est pas hyper fort et avec des bouchons on n'entend plus rien. L'endroit est assez al exploité, il manque des transats, des chaises confortables (pas en fer) et à l'abri du soleil. On se sent un peu observé par le personnel et les clients car le bar de plage est devant les chambres mais c'est un détail. La nourriture du restaurant bar n'est pas terrible, peu de choix de jus frais. La location de scooter n'est pas très intéressante au niveau prix, mieux vaut aller dans la rue.

Very close to the beach. Very private. Not too crowded. Good scenery. The staff are very attentive to our needs. Very helpful.

The facilities are poor like air-conditioning. They say it's the power supply in Siargao but how come in another inn where we were transferred when aircon didn't function, it was very cool and they had generator? To think it was a cheaper place. We had to endure poor air-conditioning almost the whole time we were there. Also facilities need to be improved. Like the toilet, no cabinets. It is poorly maintained. Those who gave exceptional reviews probably didn't stay there for several nights.

Simplesmente acordar de frente para o mar! Ótima localização em General Luna, próximo de ótimos restaurantes e cafés. Funcionários super simpáticos e super prestativos em ajuda. Café da manhã simples mas muito saboroso.

Apenas tivemos uma dificuldade com um aluguel de moto mas não foi por motivo deles, e sim a empresa parceira que demorou demais para trazer a moto e resolvemos cancelar para alugar em outro lugar. Mas isso não demérito do hotel!

Alles sehr gut, komme wieder hierher

Sandstrand nur bei Ebbe sichtbar. Aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau.

This gem is located right at the beachfront where you can enjoy the majestic sunrise 🌅 The staff are lovely, especially Tricia, who would regularly check in on us and assist us with whatever we needed. She already mentioned ahead of time that there could be fluctuations in the electricity (an understandable occurrence in the Island) as well as WiFi issues due to the weather. At night, there is a guard on duty giving an extra layer of assurance whilst we rest. The rooms are comfortable, lots of sockets (in case you’re wondering). It’s a really homey space with the best location and views.

There could be healthier breakfast options

The staff are very accommodating. The house is peaceful and comfortable.

The light switch are confusing. The safety vault is not working. Theres no water heater in the room. You need to get hot water at the reception area.

Fantastic location, wonderful staff, massive room big enough for 3. I loved my stay so much I extended another 2 nights! The staff are great and on an evening the bar outside is lively which creates a good atmosphere. The food is good and the drinks are very reasonably priced. Overall would definitely recommend and will stay here again when visiting Siargao. Internet is patchy but that’s expected on the island.

Ett perfekt läge i hjärtat av GL och med utsikt över havet. Frukost ingick. Otroligt trevlig värd (Tricha) som mötte mig och löste allt smidigt åt mig under veckan. Hon var serviceminded och vänlig. Fixade både Island hopping och moped jag kunde hyra.

På kvällarna var det högljutt i baren utanför. Man vande sig och kunde sova men man ska veta det om man bokar detta. Mig gjorde det inte så mycket.

Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und das Frühstück lecker. Der Strand liegt direkt vor dem Gelände und bei Ebbe kann man ihn auch gut nutzen. An der Bar kann man jederzeit was Essen. Die Apartments und die Bar waren außerdem sehr schön herrgerichtet. Man fühlt sich einfach direkt wohl.

Die Bar war etwas laut abends.

Really spacious room, AC was great and really silent. Comfy bed, friendly staff and nice breakfast location in the garden. You can enter the beach from the garden. Room has a fridge and some daily free water.

Shower pressure was poor (common island problem), wifi in the room also wasn't that great. I was missing something like handgel to wash your hands in the room.

Ubicación y servicio. Los trabajadores muy majos

The beach side location was great & having that beach view from the spacious wonderful was fantastic!! The staff were lovely & a special shout out for Trishia & Glen!! You had the option of the beach view bar / dining or a more "sports bar" option. The current is strong & when the tide comes in that's an experience on its own!! If you're looking for a top class beach view accommodation in Siargao, this is the place for you!! Will hopefully come back again soon!!

It's not a "didn't like" but just caught us a bit by surprise. Siargao is popular with the younger tourists from a wide range of countries. Yama Apartments appears to have a reputation for low priced drinks so from 8:30-9:00pm the place starts to fill up with younger tourists & eventually gets very very busy. So, if you're staying pitch up a bit earlier & you'll be fine. Plus the staff (Glen) will look after you as you're a resident. Doesn't hurt to give a 50-100 pesos tip & then you'll definitely get looked after 😉😉

Excellent lots of choices and easy local location non

near the beach:) friendly staff specially trisha:))

bathroom needs update and more cleaning

Very nice place, seaside fresh air in the morning

very central. nice people, nice staff. good breakfast. good view all wet cloths are getting dry easily on your balcony. dogs are walking around but they are not agresive. after 10 pm many people come drink but 12-12.30 around it will be quite.so you can sleep peacefull. their aircon is clean and silent. its important.

La ubicación, en primera línea de playa y cerca de bares y restaurantes de tourist rd. También me gustó la amplitud de la habitación.

Me gustó todo.

- Stunning view of the ocean from the room terrace. - Room is very spacious, clean and has good amenities like a small fridge, desk, third bed (for lounging) and a little closet. The balcony has nice deck chairs and a rack to dry bikinis & towels. - Staff was very friendly and helpful (Special thanks to Trisha). She also helped us book motorbikes at a discount. - The free breakfast in the morning was very nice. They also provide free coffee and tea. - Location is super central and in walking distance to the main road and all the restaurants & stores. - The hotel area is pretty chill during the day, get's noisy at night though (see below).

- This hotel is definitely not our first choice for a relaxing stay because it gets very noisy at night (and no not just for the trivia night on tuesday). The Barrel bar attached to the hotel (including the bar hut out front by the rooms) is very popular with a younger crowd. So in the evening the whole lot (including the beach area in front of the bungalows) fills up with motorbikes and drunk revelers. Luckily everythings closes down at midnight. But it kinda ruins the chill vibe you have during the day. - Maybe we had a bit of bad luck because our room was closest to the bar, but it is definitely is not soundproof as mentioned in some reviews. - Shower wasn't great, almost no pressure so we had to resort to using the bucket and scoop. - We wish they would provide some lounges or beach chairs out front by the ocean. Also don't expect a beach in front of the property, you have a bit of grass and then a concrete wall with stairs to get into the ocean. - WIFI is spotty, but this is a common problem everywhere in Siargao.

Friendly staff, great breakfast, near to everything And the beachfront view is everything.

מקום מהמם במיקום מרכזי חדר גדול ומרווח

לא מנקים כל יום , צריך לבקש כל פעם כדי שיטאטאו כי יש המון חול כי זה על החוף וגם מצעים מגבות המיקום מרכזי אבל נמצא על בר רועש מאוד עד 23:30

El alojamiento está super bien ubicado y las habitaciones tienen vista al mar. Son pequeñas casitas que cuentan con habitación y baño. Son más sencillas de lo que pensábamos pero cuentan con lo justo y necesario para pasar una buena estancia. El personal es muy majo y atento.

Casi no salía agua de la ducha. Por la noche hay bastante ruido ya que se ofrecen copas en la zona de bar y hay bastante gente.

Tout était parfait !

La douche aurait besoin d’être refaite..dommage

Everything. The villa was clean and comfortable and we wanted nothing. The staff is warm and friendly and it felt like home away from home, except in paradise. Prime location on a beautiful beach. No problems sleeping at night, as the rooms were almost soundproof. Wish we could have stayed longer and highly recommend!

Great location. Great value for money, lovely staff and they kept it very clean and offered to clean the room everyday and restock anything. Overall would recommend this as a place to stay if you are looking for somewhere good value for money in General Luna. The rooms look right out onto the beach and we loved having the bar with the pool table near by too.

Not much to dislike, the rooms aren’t the most modern or well decorated but we found the beds comfy and liked the spacious room. This didn’t bother us at all but worth mentioning that the bar area is very busy in the evenings, we could barely hear it once the door was shut though.

Friendly staff

Clogged sink, missing jalousie in bathroom window

Indubbiamente la disponibilità e gentilezza dello staff

Location is perfect.

Road to the property is muddy.

Everything was nice, staff and room! And location perfect.

Great location right on the beach. Pleasant seating area in front of the apartment and in the bar. Very tasty breakfast. They arranged a trip for us. Ideal for a group of friends or a couple

Noise from the bar next door until midnight. If you go to bed early, bring earplugs

I like the location the front beach,the view from the place to the ocean is the best. How ever the weather at the time wasn’t in our side it was pouring rain and there was a typhoon. But still we manage to enjoy the land tour even though we didn’t get to see the three places that we want to see due to closure because of the typhoon. Thanks to the staff who arranged us for land tour. The accommodation there was no tv and the wifi is terrible very weak signal. It’s frustrating as we are trap in our place because of the rain so it was boring.

The room don’t have a television and the wifi had very weak signal.

The room is super cool as it you walk a few meters and you're already at one of the famous beaches in siargao. The apartment is within the property of a restaurant so it can get noisy at night but after around 11pm-12am they close so no problem at sleeping. Staffs are also very accommodating and taking care of us, even gave us umbrellas when it was pouring. Breakfast have a lot of variety from typical filipino breakfast to mediterrenean menu. Provide free parking for your motorbike if you rent one.

Tutto molto carino, lo staff meraviglioso, sempre Pronto ad aiutarti in tutto. Un grazie sopratutto alla ragazza ( non ricordo il nome) che mi ha accolto al mio arrivo…. Noi avevamo lo studio fronte mare! Uno spettacolo( c’erano anche dei libri da bambini molto utili a mio figlio) ci siamo sentiti come in famiglia!!! Lo consiglio vivamente

Nulla

Second time here. I love this place. Big thanks to Trisha. She's an amazing hard working person. Helped me with arranging a motorbike and the transfer to the airport.

Beachfront stay with a nice view of the sea right from the room window. Located along tourism road, so the location is definitely a plus. The attendants were very welcoming and helpful—when our rental motorbike broke down, they assisted us in getting it fixed.

Water supply was an issue during our stay. Not sure if this is common across Siargao.

Great location, impeccable service and very accommodating staff

None

Location was really great and the room was nicely furnished.

Close to the bar - hence quite noisy at some nights

Buena ubicación junto al mar. Personal muy amable y servicial. Todo muy bien cuidado y cómodo.

Nada que destacar

I was very nice and wonderful place, you can see the sunrise every morning, the food is fantastisch, the crew are all friendly and helpfull @Mailyn Jama, @en en Mecate Longos and all others Crew. Thank you so much. See you soon again.

Good customer service especially Tricia😘

Nothing. Everything is fine.

All the staff are accommodating, kind, and helpful. Their service is wonderful, and the breakfast is hearty. The location is great - there are many restaurants and shops nearby, and it’s right by the beachfront. While it’s not the best beach for swimming, it offers a beautiful sunrise view.

The room was clean overall, but the toiletries could be improved, and the toilet facilities could be better maintained.

Excellent place to stay in General Luna. Make sure to contact them via phone/WhatsApp before so they arrange you the airport shuttle (300 php). Tricia welcomed me with an ice tea and gave me instrucrions for the stay before showing me to my room. She can arrange tours for you on the day/morning so you don’t feel to have to book in advance (you might not get the fancy tours with the GoPro etc but you also pay quite less). The beach access is amazing and makes the experience complete. Big garden and very big rooms which can be cleaned every day if you wish so. WiFi works well both in public space and the room. Breakfast is very good and you can pick everyday from the Barrel menu (that’s the bar next door). That and the advantage that you can order anything all day (hint: try the amaretto sour). The place is in the very center and you can walk everywhere or just take a tuktuk Overall, very good stay - recommended and hope it remains like this (and escape the gentrification of Siargao).

Minor things: - do note that barrel9 is next door so there might be noise in the evening but only till 12 or so. - I struggled to find a good balance for the air condition at night so that it’s cool but not very warm - bad mattress is not the best but for a few nights is okay

Konumu mükemmeldi. Kaldığımız oda hem çok geniş hem de bir kaç adımda denize çıkıyordu. Önü de denize girmek için mükemmel. Yemek seçenekleri de etrafa oldukça fazla. Bence tam bir fiyat performans oteli.

Everything, starting from the staff (Trisha, Elsie, Edgna), the location (in front of the beach), the delicious breakfast and the great bar located just next to the hotel (part of the hotel)

Everything was pretty good! The only thing was the water pressure of the shower but not a big deal

Staff = Amazing! Location = Amazing! Close to the beach and close to the main hub of General Luna.

By far, the worst bed I have ever slept on in the Philippines. The frame was made of plywood and was creaking and cracking every toss or turn of the body. Also, the mattress was unbelievably thin and everyday I woke up in incredible pain. Pretty disappointing considering how amazing everything else about this resort was.

Location and staff

Noise during the night and the ants in the toilet sink. The bed was not comfortable.

Insgesamt war dies unsere teuerste Unterkunft. Das Personal ist super zuvorkommend und sehr hilfreich bei Fragen. Einzig war es bei uns unter Dreck sehr schmutzig - dies wurde auf Hinweis dann aber gründlich geputzt und wir haben sogar ein kostenloses Essen als Entschädigung erhalten. Der direkte Zugang zum Meer ist wirklich superschön! Direkt hinter der Unterkunft ist noch eine Art Bar/Restaurant dass zur Anlage gehört und jeden Abend sehr gut besucht ist. Daher war es Abend etwas lauter - was uns aber nicht gestört hat :)

Amazing! The rooms have a lot of space and are very clean. The staff is very kind and very helpful. Breakfast is very good. The view is to die for.

Yama is the perfect location right in the edge of the beach and the cabins are beautiful and very comfortable. Tricia was a really great host and super friendly with lots of advice about what to do, all the staff were very friendly, I’d highly recommend staying here!

La ubicación genial Habitacion con vistas a la playa, una fantasía. El trato del personal insuperable: muy amables y muy pendientes de cualquier detalle.

La habitación es grande , la cama es cómoda, el aire acondicionado va bien y la ducha tb. Los desayunos ricos en frente del mar que es un lujo. La playa cubre poco pero te puedes bañar perfectamente y nosotros pasamos un día entero disfrutando. Recomendable totalmente!

Al lado hay un bar con billar, dardos en el que se junta gente joven y hubo algo de jaleo un par de noches pero tampoco fue terrible.

- the location is awesome. From our room we could see the sea and just had to go a few steps to the beach - trisha was a lovley host

- once a week there is a trivia night in the pub behind the hotel and it was really loud. - for breakfast in the Restaurant I would love to have a option like a Smoothie/fruit-porridge Bowl

The beachfront was really amazing and we loved the outdoor terrasse to have a drink or a meal. The hotel was so close to everything, we just had to walk around and we could find restaurants or any facilities.

Maybe it would have been nice to have an outdoor shower after swimming. If there was one, we weren’t informed but that’s just a small detail which didn’t alter our pleasant stay.

Lovely big clean rooms with ocean views. Best staff on the island and great margaritas.

Bra läge, trevlig personal och god mat i restaurangen.

Vi hade uppskattat några solstolar på tomten. Väldigt dåligt vattentryck i duschen. Okej för dem med kort hår som vi har....

The beautiful rooms are located away from the road,right in front of the sea ! The management helped us out with an issue we had because of the typhoon UWAN, thank you! Aldo Tricha and her team are the best... They were always there to help us !

Wifi connection could be better ( in case you depend on it)

very good

all good

Very accommodating staff specially Tricia

The location is very good as there are many restaurants closeby, not on the side of main road so relatively quiet in the night. Stuff is very friendly and helpful to provide us useful information. Breakfast is also good with different options.

Room is rather basic but it is not a really complain. There is no hair dryer in the room.

We loved the location of the apartments very much. Near the main road with restaurants, with a private beachfront and a bar... What's not to love. The rooms are nice and spacious. You can rent a bike from the hotel, they will also arrange your departure to the airport or tours you wanna do. You can also visit a neighbouring sports bar/restaurant. We found the staff (Trisha, Jane and others ;) very helpful and friendly. If I return to Siargao I would for sure stay here again.

Great location on the beach. Close to restaurants and clubs. Great staff. Yummy breakfast

Staff could do with training as young and not that interested in working
