Hotels in the Philippines

Top tier staff by any measure, so sweet, so diligent, so fast, so helpful.

Wonderful stay! Clean room, friendly owner. Highly recommend!

Exceptional couple offering you the luxury of a quiet retreat in a beautiful island. Both Virly and Xavi made us feel at home straight away and have been nothing but lovely for the entirety of our stay there. They are running this very homey resort with a great sense of hospitality, always ready to answer our needs and giving advice or just simply having a chat with them because they really are great people all-around. And then you'll also be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the small island village with turquoise water and bird singing and can do a star gazing session while in the swimming pool in the evening. Thumbs up to Virly also for her delicious and homey cooking (we loved the baracuda fish). If you're looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to rest in total simplicity, this place is just made for you.

Service is excellent, the staff made us feel personally taken care of during the entire stay:) Executive room is superb with the large private pool and we were able to enjoy Netflix. I like the use of phone provided in the room for communication with the front desk. Floating breakfast has been perfectly prepared. If you join any day tour and activities via the suites, they are also well organised for the guests!

I rarely give a 10 rating to a place but this one is so outstanding that it deserves the highest. Unfortunately you won’t find another place like this for this value in the Philippines. The host are gracious and super attentive and the place feels like home. Stephan also organized a really nice island hopping for us.

The place was very clean and well maintained. The view is very relaxing!

I travelled with several family members to Kalanggaman Island and found Bellavista as the closest and nicest place to stay. The front desk manager, Heaven, greeted us and took care of all of our needs during our stay. Mae, the housekeeping manager was also very nice and helpful. The 2 bedroom family suite with full kitchen and living room was excellent as was the king suite.

I came for the beachfront location and wonderful reviews and got so much more! You just can’t beat Dave and Rose’s for their seafront (and partial sea-facing), clean, comfortable, modern cabins (porch included), chill beach vibey restaurant, excellent food (to die for chicken curry!), not to mention the laid back hosts themselves who upon my arrival, immediately made me feel at home. the minute I arrived I tried to extend my stay because I knew I was on to something good, but the place was (understandably) booked out for the next night. In my opinion, you simply can’t beat the value of Darosa Del Mar. Thanks Dave and Rose for your excellent hospitality - I’ll be back!

the beach is the perfect spot to surf for all levels. as a beginner the lessons are cheap, instructors great. The rooms are just great and you can see they were built and decorated with love and care. everything you need. i stayed in the garden view and was very happy. food is good and staff are amazing and always helpful. The hosts George and MJ are the soul of the place and super available and caring about their guests. you can rent scooters just near by. well done! great place to stay out of general luna to relax and enjoy the real siargao

Wonderful! We booked 1 night in this really cool beach bungalow and it was so good that we extended our stay for 3 days (and got a good discount). It was right on the beach and felt like we were on our very own desert island, waking up to the sound of the waves and taking a swim in the fantastically clear warm water before breakfast. We didn’t see any tourists at all on the beach, just some locals taking a walk and kids playing in the water, it was surreal after staying in Boracay with all the crowds and noise! The staff gave us snorkeling stuff for free and David the owner led us out to see the incredible variety of coral, which started just a short distance from the beach and though we saw many varieties of fish, it seems that there were many more before the pandemic, but the locals have decimated the stock as there was no work for them. But the starfish were prolific, we counted 10 different colors including some really bright blue ones, but be careful of the sea urchins, they’re only on the coral, so don’t swim over the coral at low tide. Ely took us for an island tour in this amazing 6 seater off road UTV, it could go anywhere and we took off road tracks to cliff jumps, deserted beaches and caves, this is a must, which you would never find if you hired motorcycles. Now the restaurant on this fantastic balcony (or you can eat at the beach bar). The food my god was soo good, Malou and the other staff were such good cooks, with both local and foreign dishes, don’t miss the yummy spicy spareribs, the stuffed baby squid, the curry, the adobo and of course the seafood; simply delicious! We wanted to stay longer and wished we had come here first and not bothered with Boracay, so sad to leave and will defiantly be back and skip the Boracay stay!

I like the good vibes in the property. The owner/manager of the resort are very good host!
