Hostels in Siquijor

"Do not recommend staying. 1. Hotel doesn’t have bathroom drain piping that would be complaint with North American standards. No P traps on any drains, (we were in more than one room) 2. Hotel staff accused us of ordering breakfast for room service and made a huge deal out of it. We never ate breakfast at the hotel. If you stay at this hotel demand they block charges to room service and require payment upon any food delivery. 3. The clothing cabinet was the only place I could store my suit. The cabinet had some strange smell and the suit reeked. I asked front desk to recommend a ‘dry cleaner’. They sent staff up to manage. I showed staff the label on the suite, “dry clean only”. Hotel Essencia washed suite like regular clothes and used either heavily scented soap or fabric softener. The size of the suit changed and it stretched significantly. The jacket looked horrible. My custom tailored suit no longer fits at all. 4. Do not recommend renting a car from Hotel Essencia. The experience is not the same as a professional car rental company and cost more. Find safer rental companies towards the airport from downtown. Our room on the 3rd floor smelt terribly of sewage late at night. We found a hotel with traps on all drains in the bathroom and enjoyed staying there."

"Yes…"

"Hot showers and great food and staff. Alona beach was just over the beach walk and not really suitable to hang out on. Had to walk up towards the end for the sand. Just a 10 min tok tok ride to Dumaluan Beach where you can use the amenities and hang out on a gorgeous beach at the Oceanica. Highly recommend doing this. El at guest services was so helpful arranging a private driver to go see the chocolate hills, man made forest, Tarziers, bamboo bridge and the bee Farm resort. Would recommend this hotel if you want to stay in town. Short tok tok to main road for shops and restaurants. Mr and Mrs Thai was awesome:)"

"Excellent stay; was here for three nights. Beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained property. Everyone on the staff was professional, courteous, and helpful. The resort is located just a few miles from the busy, loud streets of Alona Beach. Thus, it offers a pleasant escape from the noise and traffic. The mangrove forest, located behind the resort, is a lovely nature reserve and there is a great sunset spot at the end of the boardwalk. One of the best resorts in all of Panglao."

"Nice big hotel away from the busy tourist area of Alona beach. Nice greenery around, nice swimming pool "
