What the reviews say
Solo women point to the clean beachfront setting and hospitable owners as the real draw here. The on-site restaurant means no need to head out alone at night. No hot water and early-morning roosters from next door are the two consistent caveats.
- One reviewer called it a real gem of Siquijor, noting the beach was the best maintained she had seen in the Philippines and they were almost alone there.
- The nightlife draws large crowds on Fridays and Saturdays, with people arriving around 11 PM and the party continuing until 2 or 3 AM.
- One woman noted the setup is unusual: you party on sand directly by the beach, with two separate bars and a covered seating area where shoes must be removed.
- One reviewer flagged that at low tide the beach shows mostly sea grass, so the swimming experience depends heavily on timing.
- There are two bars on site: one for quick drinks like beer, and a main bar for cocktails and food, plus tented and indoor seating near the beach.
- Accommodation is simple with no hot water but is described as clean and pleasant.
- Fridays are the busiest nights, drawing mostly locals, and the space can get very hot and crowded.
- There is a 20-peso entrance fee, and service slows considerably on busy weekend nights.
- Roosters from a neighboring property reliably wake guests early in the morning.
