Siquijor Beach Hotels

"This was my second time visiting Siquijor. I'd hoped to avoid the crowds, but it was surprisingly busy with both Western tourists and locals. All the good guesthouses were fully booked, so I ended up at Rainbow. The room photos didn't match reality at all. I was assigned a ground-floor room, and as soon as I opened the door, there was a strong musty smell. The overall hygiene was pretty bad; the sheets weren't clean. After two nights, my wrists and thighs broke out in an allergic rash with many small blisters. The bathroom was damp and had wooden furniture, and the toilet seat was a small, ill-fitting one. The toilet paper was so thin it was transparent, and there was hardly any furniture in the room to place belongings. With such a large room and garden area, I don't understand why they couldn't design it better. The food at the guesthouse itself was reasonably priced, but it was too salty and poorly prepared. There were some basic gym facilities outside, good for a quick squat with a couple of weights. The only upside was its proximity to the pier. Due to rising diesel prices, taxis and private charters are generally more expensive now, so remember to haggle. The night sky was beautiful though; I truly witnessed what 'a sky full of stars' means. The two waterfalls in the pictures are worth a visit; they used to be free, but now with more visitors, you have to pay for entry."

"Our stay at Jelly Sea Resort was absolutely perfect! The staff were incredibly caring and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was spacious and ideal for our family of three, especially since we were traveling with a kid. The beachfront location was stunning, offering breathtaking views of both sunrise and sunset. The room exceeded our expectations with its cleanliness and amenities, including air conditioning, a mini-fridge, water heater, bidet, hair dryer, and complete bath essentials. The resort offered a lot of water activities that made our stay even more enjoyable. The booking included free use of a bamboo raft, kayaking, snorkeling, and access to three cliff-diving spots for the adventurous. We also loved the freediving opportunities and appreciated the swimming peripherals provided, like goggles, life jackets, and aqua shoes. These thoughtful inclusions made exploring the beautiful waters so much fun and hassle-free. The food was excellent! Portions were generous and perfect for sharing. Plus, the free breakfast was a great way to start our days. The resort also provided fast and reliable WiFi, which was a big plus. The only minor downside was the lack of nearby stores for snacks, as the resort mainly serves meals. I strongly suggest picking up some snacks before checking in. That said, the staff went above and beyond—special thanks to Kuya Wing for helping me get what I needed from outside, which was a lifesaver since I was traveling with a kid! Overall, I wish we could’ve stayed longer. Jelly Sea Resort is truly a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, activity-packed, and family-friendly getaway."

"Had an amazing stay with my friends! 🫶 The service was top-notch and the staff were super helpful and friendly. The amenities were clean and well-maintained, making our trip extra comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! 😊"

"We had only once a soup there, which was rich and good, especially for the price. Nice view of the beach and sea. Unfortunately, you can't bath in the sea. We were in the beach bungalow, that was good, water was also available for free. The pool could be cleaned again in the afternoon, not only early before opening. But still it's nice that there is one."

"My favorite hotel in Siquijor! The staff's attitude is so much better than Cocogrove, and the environment is lovely. It's just fantastic! I kept extending my stay. I even met another guest who was also extending their stay for a week because of this hotel. I actually extended my time in Siquijor and stayed here for four or five nights. Renting a motorbike means a lot of riding and getting sun-tanned, but it's worth it for the slow pace. That other guest hired a car with a driver every day, and apparently it wasn't very expensive – they got a discounted rate. I forget the exact price, but I remember it was much cheaper than the normal rate for a full day's private hire."

"A very nice place to stay at! Super friendly and helpful owner and staff. Great menu with a wide variety and very tasty food. A bit remote as it is the most southern resort on Siquijor, and not all tricycle drivers want to drive there, but we still managed and we enjoyed every minute of our 10 day stay. If the resort had had a soft sandy beach, it would have been perfect, but the snorkelling and the beautiful pool made up for it 100%. Wow! A great experience overall! "

"The rooms are a bit old, but still well-maintained. The white sand beach is incredibly beautiful, and having breakfast on the beach is a true delight. If you don't mind a hotel with some signs of age, I'd definitely recommend it. However, on the first day, there was no hot water for the shower, and on the second day, there was no cold water at all. So I had to hold the showerhead up high and let the water drip down, then slowly splash it on myself to avoid getting scalded. The water pressure was extremely low, like a tiny trickle, so it took ages to shower and I never really felt clean."

"Staff are friendly and helpful, but we had no hot water to start off with, our toilet blocked up, very noisy because of the people on the upper floor and the cockerels very early in the morning. Beach is very smelly and muddy, you can definitely not use it for swimming. They charge even for a coffee takeaway cup. Room/bathroom is dated. Location is great, and garden is nice."

"It's a 5 star for us. Very approachable all of the staff. We'll recommended."

"We're stayed only 24h, because Covid striked just then and country started to go lockdown. We had about 48h to leave country, but the owner canceled our bookings with a smile on his face and welcomed back when it was possible again. Such an excellent place/owner/staff. They even served bf to our rooms in the morning before we left to the ferry. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Excellent location next to beach. Highly recommended and definitely we will come back to finish our holidays in this cool resort. ❤️"
