Had a great stay! The staff were so accommodating and the rooms were beautifully furnished. The manager welcomed us with her staff bringing in a bowl with fruits. Nothing was a bother. Reception staff were fab and so were the butler and housekeeping. Would love to come back!

Where I come from, I work at a 5 star Hotel. So I know a lot about how to make Hotel guests feel extra special. Ferra Hotel you never disappointed us! You are indeed our Friendliest Host in Boracay! From the moment we arrived til we left, we had such a great time. The staff was super friendly and helpful with everything! They were fast when they assisted and helped us when my youngest son got stung by a sea urchin. Even the chef in the kitchen offered his assistance. We are so overwhelmed how kind you are to us. We never regretted we stayed at Ferra Hotel. Where we come from, we are used to walking. And the hotel is located close to Bulabog Beach. The place where you could spend some quite time because it's not crowded. The famous leaning coconut tree is also in the Bulabog Beach. It is also here you can watch the sunrise. Ferra Hotel is a 4 minutes walk to D'mall and 10mins walk to White Beach. What we love more about Ferra is they give us complimentary water every day. When we get back from a day tour, our room is tidy and clean. And did I mention about their towel, that are so soft!!! But I would like to mention the exceptional Ms. Que, for always checking up on us and asking how our day was. She also make the best Hot calamansi juice. Thank you for attending to all our needs. To Sir Reynard, the friendliest bartender. He amused us with his kindness way of serving. And to the chef, who made delicious and tastiest food. The best nachos, calamari and pancakes we have ever tasted. Overall the food at Ferra are superb! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comforts and satisfactions. The luxurious accommodations, coupled with exceptional service, made our stay truly memorable. We can’t wait to return to Ferra again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

The staff was great, the best food, big portions, cheap, restaurant open until late, cocktail at 1.5 liters, we had a wonderful day before flight. It's the perfect location to relax. They even helped us with the transfer to the airport even though it is 1 km away. Good Wi-Fi, Netflix, a beautiful courtyard, they were just getting ready to offer customers a pleasant stay with a Christmas atmosphere. How wonderful it would be if all guesthouses in the Philippines offered such services! Unfortunately I can't give it a 20 point rates on Booking, although they deserve!

We had an amazing stay at Lawsons Beach Resort and can truly recommend this place. The location is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for relaxing and enjoying Siquijor. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always smiling — you really feel welcome from the moment you arrive. A very special mention goes to Max, the adorable American Bully, who instantly stole our hearts and made our stay even more memorable. Everything was clean, well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Siquijor.

STAFF: The service their staff provides is kind of insane. They seemed to have everything we asked for. Every staff would greet and smile. All of them were very accommodating, especially Andy and Harry, who we would run to when we needed something and they always helped us out. The staff is definitely one of the reasons I would stay here again. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: The check-in process was a bit lengthy compared to hotels, but that's usually how it is for resorts. The check-out process was very fast though. The welcome drink was really good. ROOM: Every time we got back to our room, it's always newly cleaned and there were always snacks waiting for us! We always got excited seeing those :) I don't know who did it among our Housekeeping GEMs (Chona/Michie/Clinton/Kisses), but they have mastered the art of towel folding. They always left little notes which I thought was very sweet. The galaxy light was a nice touch too. My favourite part of the room was the plunge pool. SHUTTLE SERVICE: Getting from the airport to the resort was a breeze and it came with oatmeal cookies. We didn't have to do anything but follow where the staff tells us to go. They also have shuttle service between Stations 1 to 3 which was very convenient for us. FOOD/DRINK: The were plenty of breakfast choices at Sand's. The taho tatay shows up at 8am :) We also went for breakfast at Forno Osteria, which was more of a Western breakfast. Lunch and dinner options at Sand's were abundant. I especially loved the seafood they cooked on the spot upon ordering. LOCATION: The location is perfect! It is located at almost the end (I think) of Station 1 so it was a bit far from the beach activities (again, there's shuttle service) and away from the crowd. We mostly stayed at the resort so that didn't really matter to me. The beach is just right in front so it's perfect! OTHERS: We booked our activities with the hotel.

The location is good. It is inside the town, close to pier 1, the place from where one can get ocean jet ferry to Bohol. Few attractions are at walking distance from this place. Initially our room was a smaller one but due to some maintenance issue we were upgraded to a suite like room, which was quite big, clean and good kitchenette. In both the rooms ACs worked well. View was also good from both the rooms. Thanks to Teresa for upgrading us to a suite without charging any additional fees immediately after bringing a maintenance issue in our booked room.

The Spa was lovely (and smelled amazing). The pools and amenities were all pristine and managed well. The complimentary services such as Morning yoga (Wed/Sat) and the free cocktail hour on Wednesday and Fridays was delightful. The location was unbeatable! It was private, yet had connections to the public beach and private cove. The security was very good also. 10/10

Google Maps is your friend.

Google Maps is your friend. During the holidays business schedules change. so some times a Museum might be closed. but lots are walking distance from each other. In my opinion if you are trying to hit everything quickly by taxi, your missing the point of this very old city. There are too many water ways, islands and traffic to be in a hurry. slow down, lots of things are free to look at. Carry small change with you always. it will help at all locations. Be polite buy a water if nothing else.

The place is very crowded and noisy. If you are looking for more peaceful locations, I would not recommend it. On the other hard, there is a great variety of restaurants, massage salons, activities on the beach. A good place for shopping with hundreds of stalls and shops. It's easy to buy nice ripe fruit like durian. If you're into seafood, I definitely recommend luch at Mandarin and Spa Hotel with seafood buffet option. Not to be missed.

Moalboal is a busy little spot - with so much to offer. The sunset on White beach was very cool, and the early morning snorkel and sardine run was great fun - we even saw turtles. It’s a great base to explore the area and there are so many activities on offer you could easily stay 5 to 7 days. The cafes were good and the dining options very varied.

Mactan felt poor and overcrowded to us.

Mactan felt poor and overcrowded to us. It is true that we arrived after flooding and typhoons, but I am afraid that the trash is a constant problem here. People live along the sidewalks, sometimes even in cardboard boxes that are often placed literally on piles of garbage. Emaciated dogs roam around, and roosters are tied on short strings. Children beg for money. If you want to go on excursions, you have to travel quite far, yet there are constant traffic jams, so even short distances take an unreasonably long time. Choose other islands.

Siquijor has become very touristy. For example, Paliton beach used to be this peaceful white sand beach where you can relax. Not anymore. I'm just glad that the vendors are not pushy to buy their stuff. I hope that the businesses will continue to make the island clean unlike El Nido.

this is a very nice city and very clean ...................but before you get to the city you have to get past the SCAMMERS at the airport taxi system that refuse to use a taxi meter. we were told by a very rude dispatcher that all the roads were blocked and it was a 1.5 hour drive to the hotel and he could only get within 500 meters of the hotel , thus it would cost 700 peso ..........200 meters later the driver said he could get to the hotel if we paid 1000 peso the trip took 34 min and NO roads were blocked we then learnt that the normal fare is about 200 peso so we like iloilo but left the very next day due to being scammed as we did no longer feel safe there

If you're not going to swim with the Whale Sharks(for ethical reasons), then there really isn't much to do in Oslob except visit Tumalog Falls(which were great), Aquinid Falls(fun, but expessive), and cruise on a motorbike up the hill(Hagdan view & Zion's viewpoint). 2 days is enough.
