Islanders Paradise Beach

Location! Can't beat the beach front views. The guest house was large and contained all the necessities to cook and hang out at the house. The receptionists were very accomodating and assisted us with our luggage, espeically because there's a long flight of stairs to get from the parking lot/drop off spot to the reception desk/guest houses. If you are unable to use stairs or have difficulty using stairs, note that this location requires you to walk down a flight of stairs and walk back up to the parking lot/drop-off area.

WiFi connection was weak, pretty much only accessible if you are outside (ironically haha). But honestly, it was a nice time to unplug. The view was beautiful, so hanging out at the patio to get internet connection was actually pretty lovely. One of our bedrooms had some sort of wood-eating insect on the roof, causing a pile of sawdust to fall onto the bed. We informed the staff and they changed the bedsheets and appeared to have fixed the hole on the ceiling. However, a few days later, the sawdust piled up again, indicating a wood-eating insect was still present in the roof... I understand that the Philippines is a tropical climate and bugs and insects are common, but it was a little frustrating to have saw-dust pile up on the bed for 2 nights, affecting how my friend slept.

Beach front, amazing views and quiet property. So relaxing. Long beautiful beach. They cleaned the beach each morning. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Great value for price.

Everything

Views the peace the scenery !

Rooms clearly need updating come on guys do it and you get more guests and better reviews!invest in your business

- beach was in front of the door - big room with own toilet - comfy bed - nice staff - option to eat there at the restaurant - parking lot for car

- was not the cleanest and everything open ( everything wood-build, it’d nice but also a welcome for insects) - you need a car or scooter to get there or going around ( everything is far away)

Emplacement fantastique, dormir bercée par le bruit de la mer, le coucher de soleil en face, une plage extrêmement propre ratissée tous les matins, le restaurant excellent, aucun bruit de moteur sauf les petits bateaux de pêche, un chauffe eau tout neuf et digital pour la douche réglable au degrés près, le personnel extrêmement aimable et serviable, un de mes meilleurs hébergements aux Philippines, un excellent rapport qualité prix. Pour un massage aller chez AYAN juste à côté qui a aussi un excellent restaurant!

on pourrait ajouter une fontaine d'eau chaude / froide à l'accueil pour éviter d'avoir à demander qu'il me remplissent mon thermos d'eau chaude.

Away from the crowd or party area. Just rent a scooter or a car then halfway there you can go to places. Nearer to salagdoong beach and the famous lilibeth panaderia. Bang for the buck if you're not expecting a high end staycation hotel.

The nipa hut ceiling needs to be renovated. Small debris are falling.

Espectacular estancia frente al mar, nos dio la calma que necesitábamos en el viaje. Las habitaciones cuentan con terraza y mosquitera en todas las ventanas, por lo que puedes dormir escuchando el mar, una maravilla. Restaurante con buena comida y precios accesibles (menos las bebidas)

La marea baja y no es un mar espectacular en el que poder bañarte. Está lejos de todo, necesitas moto o taxi constantemente. Los precios de las bebidas son el triple que en el supermercado, inclusive el agua.

Das Personal war super freundlich und hat selbst bei Stromausfall das Beste für die Gäste gemacht.

Die Lage ist etwas ab vom Schuss. Selbst TukTuks bringen einen hier nur ungern hin. Scooter fahren ist also ein Muss

The landscape was nice and the Sea was basically right outside our door. The staff was friendly and kind. Fairly quiet to wake up to which was a nice change. Overall, after an extremely long day of traveling and ferry delays, we were grateful to have the last minute accommodation availability during Holy Week.

It is a significant distance away from virtually anything. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews about the stairs. There were many very steep cement stairs down to the accommodation. We only needed one night as we arrived a day early in Siquijor and there was no room available at our originally booked hotel. It took about 40 minutes to get to there from the ferry port. We had suitcases which are definitely not a fit for this accommodation. The shower spray was very minimal and we didn't open our suitcases because of the ants inside the cottage. Its definitely on the rustic side and would be a good fit for backpackers with minimal luggage provided they could hang up their stuff. No laundry allowed in bedroom, but I'm not sure why. I used an all natural bug repellent along the doorway to bedroom to deter the ants from joining or sleep. It worked well. Its made from lemon and eucalyptus.

Le lieu est vraiment magnifique les jardins super bien entretenus en front de mer. Les repas étaient également très bons. Merci !

La situation au bord de l’eau

L’éloignement du centre touristique pour la restauration

Belle vue sur la plage

Pas très propre, équipements basics le minimum. Pas d’eau chaude dans la douche, pas de personnel dispo, pas d’eau, loin de tout compliqué de trouver un endroit pour se restaurer, personnel pas très agréable Je ne recommande pas du tout

Vue sur mer incroyable

Trop trop loin de tout, rien aux alentours ( juste un p’tit resto sympa ) on capte pas la wifi dans les chambres, pas d’eau chaude ni de pression, je devais y rester 4 nuits j’y suis restée qu’une seule

All the cabin's are a coconut's throw from a white sand beach. We appreciated the fridge in our place and the nearby pagoda for breakfast and wifi. We didn't mind the wee trickle of cold water that was our shower. It was very peaceful in an idyllic setting.

Excellent sea view, clean, good value for the money.

About 1km or so from main rd hence need a tricycle or motorbike to get there and move around

Voor de prijs die je betaald is het een fijn verblijf. In alle rust en pal aan het strand.

Alles is redelijk gedateerd, waardoor het aan uitstraling verliest.

We had a nice stay here no complaints. The location is good and the food is delicious. We had a lot of maritesing with Effy.😂 We enjoy our stay.

It's a real paradise near the beach, very quiet, clean and the food is very tasty. They serve food at the resort at a good price.. Effy is a good staff in the resort. Surely we will come back soon.

I don't like the dog fighting on the beach.

We stayed one night here and enjoyed the beachfront location and having a whole two bedroom chalet to ourselves. The beach was beautiful although our daughter got stung by a jellyfish, the staff were really helpful in treating it with vinegar. The nearby restaurant was amazing too.

Perfect location right on the waters edge

Clean, calm and relaxing with beautiful gardens

De locatie is prachtig

Ze adverteren met een mooie luxe woning. Terwijl wij dit niet kregen. Verre van! We hadden een zeezicht kamer geboekt en waren helemaal enthousiast bij aankomst. Eenmaal in het huisje, was het erg armoedig. Uit de douchekop kwamen 3 druppels water, en we konden de toilet niet doorspoelen. Dit moest gedaan worden met emmers water. De wifi werkte ook niet terwijl wij (remote) moeten werken. Nadat we dit hadden aangegeven bij de receptie deden ze er niets aan en deden ze alsof het de normaalste zaak van de wereld was. We hadden 4 nachten geboekt maar zijn na 2 nachten vertrokken.

Love the hut . It's right on the beach. Peace and quiet away from City Life. Don't see many people. I can relax and unwind..

Hotel's food menu does not have enough variety. Has instant coffee in packet. (Nescafe) No fresh fruits . I asked for fresh coconut juice and the lady said they don't have it. There are lots of coconut tree with heaps of coconut in the yard.

Good service, petty view, nice restaurant near by, privacy and peaceful

No hot water to shower, not clean enough, nothing to do around except for one restaurant, the beach wasn’t very accessible for swimming

All

Na

Position, Coral reef in front of the resort!!!! Amazing One with turtles, dinner in our cabin, sound of waves from the cabin

They dont have snorkel equipment to rent, not Easy to find around the Island!!we rent in the resort nearby but not good One. Only cold shower!

Die Lage ist Paradiesisch ! Das Essen ist lecker und günstig …. Einfache, günstige aber saubere Unterkunft im Filipino Style

La nature, la faune et le calme

Les hamacs sur la terrasse ont été supprimés ce qui diminue l'intéret du séjour!

Réception discrète mais très sympa. Nourriture excellente. Bungalow avec tout ce qu'il faut pour rester plusieurs jours. Bouilloire, gaz, frigo... Ventilateur. Brise marine très rafraîchissante. Un bel endroit pour se reposer.

Rien!

The view...absolutely beautiful,

The sandwater by its shoreline...felt like a quick sand. Sinking mud/sand..

The place is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a quiet piece of paradise then go for it! The beach is very calm, not crowded, there is a diving site a couple meters away from the shore that is gorgeous, with beautiful corals and many fishes. The accommodation itself was pretty basic but you have everything needed. The owner and staff are very very nice, the restaurant is absolutely delicious (even have some vegan options which is rare here!). Would recommend this place 100%

It is clean and peaceful

There’s shortage of water.

Excellent

None

Idílico para desconectar, a pie de playauna gozada, el personal todo el dia disposición Perfecto todo

If you want peace and quiet, this place is for you.

La vue face à la mer Le resto juste à côté est délicieux

Les équipements

The position

Beach access

No restaurant

Unbeatable location Quiet clean with friendly staff

Last bungalow? Helen could have used a table and 2 chairs outside

It was away from the crowds, it was peaceful, I was the only one there, I loved walking out the door and being right at the ocean.

Beautiful.Just beautiful!!

The place is a bit outside of town, but that’s part of its charm. Beautiful location right on the beach. The hosts were kind enough to let me check in early in the morning after my arrival, which I really appreciated. The accommodation has everything you need, and you don’t even need AC. I’d recommend it to anyone who isn’t looking for luxury but values a cozy and authentic stay.

Nothing

Serene, spacious, beachfront, detached cottages💕

The highlight is the location! It’s so beautiful and peaceful. The room was clean and comfortable enough. Basic but functional. The resort doesn’t really offer much additional but you can go to Aquamare at a 5 minute beach walk for food and relaxing.

When arriving no info was provided about anything. A man took me to the room without saying a word. The lady I saw in the days after was very kind.

Tout était parfait !

Rien du tout !

Directly on the beach. Nice sand and fish in the water. Nicely designed resort in a quiet place. Very nice and helpful staff. Clean cottages. Delicious inexpensive breakfast.

They could improve the water pressure in the bathroom.

Peaceful not crowded

Location was fantastic, right on the .beach, good rate for scooter hire and food was excellent

This little hotel was the best place to stay! Beautiful beach, good service, delicious food.

-

Great location, just in front of the beach, you’d like to stay there and chill for another day. They arranged for a scooter for me, there is also a restaurant in walking distance.

N/A

Very quite

Too far, no internet. Stairs too high

Location, if you are looking for place away from people, is great. But take note that to get somewhere it takes time

Water pressure was - i pee stronger and bigger stream than the shower. In my house there wasn't wifi and the mobile coverage also so needed to go sit at cafes area

Beautiful view of the sea from the terrace, beautiful surroundings, tasty breakfasts, staff, simple but clean room.

Do something about the shower. The water can be cold, but at least it should be running, because it was barely leaking.

Very quite and calm place. Simply huts are older, but everything works, clean, mosquito nets work, ac is old, so I let it off and open the windows and doors and it was just fine. Beach is nice and cleaned. Filipino food is very delicious, non filipino ones I cant recommended (as it someone else cooked :D). Thanks to staff for nice stay. It was one the best accomodation in siquijor for me :).

Non filipino food was not good.

Enjoyed a private sunset view by the beach

Quite far from everything else but reminds me of the good old Siquijor when it’s not yet too touristy.

It was away from tourists. I think mainly seasoned travelers would go here as it's 30 minutes away from San Juan. It was a little paradise. Places like this are getting hard to find. The staff was very polite and helpful in any way. Vhennz was particularly helpful as I have mobility problems. He brought me a thermos promptly at 730 am for coffee and then my breakfast.

You hear the ocean, 5 meters from the lonely beach. It comes with kitchen equipment.

Shower needs an improvement, cold water and some drips only. Kitchen is quite run down.

Love the whole place, so peaceful and quiet, perfect for couples like ourselves.

Distance from the port and tourist attractions. No breakfast. Need to drive around for meals.

The location was quiet with beach views.

The showers weren't working right. Bed felt like it was going to fall apart. And ants you couldn't leave anything out of the fridge

For a beach cottage with older construction, it is surprisingly clean with few bugs inside. The beach-facing front porch with lines for drying clothes is also nice. Not quite luxurious, but good value if you prioritize easy access to a clean and quiet beach.

The floor mats should be washed more regularly. Shower water faucet has weak pressure and is a bit awkward to use. The beds are were not firm enough for me. But these are all minor complaints. Sometimes the power went out in the entire peninsula for a few hours, which is not the resort's fault, but it did cause inconveniences if you expect working A/C.

The location and the surroundings are just perfect. The view, the garden, the flowers,.. You open your door and you face the see.

Cold water and wet floors due to leaking toilet. If you don't need comfort it's okay. But I was surprised by the fact that there is no service at all, we were left on our own. The hostel is isolated yet you can only buy water, beer or cans. Not even snacks or a coffee/tea in the morning. I suggest you don't go there without a motorbike.

A fabulous beach four steps from your room! Very quiet place if thats your thing. Our hut was big and had some nice amenities such as water boiler and a gas stove if you want to do your own cooking.Great Coral Reef to snorkel if you swim out past the first sea weed patch!

No restaurant on site so you need to walk up to the road or to other resorts along the beach. The restaurant on the road is great though. We got the feeling that this place perhaps used to be more lively a couple of years ago with a restaurant and the likes.

Houses on the beach, nice and very quiet.

I love that it is beach front and the place is surrounded by coconut trees. The place is very quiet. I would recommend it for couple as you will have privacy

There is no wifi inside the room, you have to go to a specific place to connect with the wifi.

First, I should say that this isn't for everyone. If you want to be in the middle of the action, this is not for you. However, I was looking for some simple, quiet relaxation for a couple of days. If that is what you are looking for and you don't need the amenities of a fancy resort, this is a perfect place. The room was a single hut and while not large was comfortable and literally right on the edge of the beach. I could hear the waves of the beach putting me to sleep. Room itself is simple, nothing fancy. Only one restaurant close by (Ayan's) but the food is so amazing, it is worth repeat visits. Try the banana pancake with chocolate for breakfast. It's to die for. The property itself is beautiful. I did a photoshoot on the property with a local model and it was amazing. No three-pronged sockets in the room, but they will provide an adaptor on request. Again, this isn't for everyone, but for what I was looking for on this visit, it was perfect. Very pleased.

Hot water was a problem. Other than that, I loved the simplicity of the place.

Great place to stay close to the ferry to go to Oslob :)

The view is just incredible! Little hut right at the beach, super calm, perfect for couples. The host was very nice and organized a scooter for us, he also lent us an adapter for the plugs. Would recommend!

No free water dispenser, had to buy water.

Pretty setting, right on the beach. Had a fridge in the room.

- Our first room had a huge amount of ants so we had to change rooms. - Air conditioning wasn't very powerful. - Rooms were basic and not particularly clean; Some furniture and bedding could do with an upgrade. - Really poor WiFi. - Smell of seaweed. - I wouldn't recommend going here if you don't plan on renting a motorbike, because it's quite far from shops/restaurants/attractions.

Lovey remote location right along a marine sanctuary. You had to walk/swim a bit off the beach past the buoys where the boats were parked, but then there was a pretty nice snorkeling site all along the waterfront! Beach was picturesque and quiet, and looked just like the pictures advertised. The nearest town (Larena) was a ways away (10 min scooter ride), which was perfect for getting food/restaurants, supplies/groceries, gas, and ferry. The room and bathroom was nice and clean, though be sure to keep food in the fridge because the ants are marching around everywhere, especially in the bathroom via the holes in the walls (this was not a problem for me). If you keep food items put away, the ants don’t bother you at all. The windows had nice closable slats and were covered wby a screen to keep mosquitoes and bugs out. There were curtains also. Bed was comfortable. Staff were helpful and kept to the main building (at the bottom of the stairs) Aircon worked well!

It was confusing to find the office upon arrival because I wasn’t sure if it was in the main house at the top of the stairs near the parking area (it isn’t), or if I had to walk down the stairs to find checkin/checkout (it IS down there). Water was a bit expensive.

- lovely location (although not easy to find in the night) with amazing sunsets - quiet in the night - affordable price

- staff was not welcoming or communicative - water did not flow 70% of the time; bucket to use - cleanliness in bathroom could be improved; the bathroom renovated - bed could be replaced (sounds at every move - I thought it will break every time I sat down)
