Siargao Love

May 2013

So my sisters visited all the way from Bacolod last May and we went to Siargao and fell in love! 🙂 Scroll down to see why!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ugh I hate that we didn’t have any surfing photos! :((( But we loved it and in a perfect world i’d be a bum and just spend all day surfing

lol.

Anyway, Siargao is amazing and i’d like to share a few tips and links in case you’re planning a trip.
1) from dapa port to gen luna the habal habal ride costs php 200 and if you have a lot of stuff (like we did lol it’s kinda hard to ride a habal habal AND carry a duffel bag) a tricycle ride costs php 300.
2) aside from the resorts you’ll find online, there are hostels around cloud 9 that offer rooms for like Php 250-500. Only, I have no idea how the rooms are or what they look like.
3) the food at the resorts is quite expensive, but the servings are huge so we ended up ordering 2 dishes then we just share it.
4) nightlife : the locals say the acoustic nights during Thursdays at Buddha’s is nice as well as Friday nights at this place called the “Jungle Disco” haha. unfortunately we were so tired from staying out all day that we weren’t able to go to either one.
5) this is where we stayed : http://siargao-inn.com/en/
we loved it so much and our room was ff.ing amazing we kept oohing and aahing over everything especially their british bulldog Bruno! ❤ The owner, Rico, was very friendly and accommodating and the resort staff helped us organize our trips & activities and made our stay very comfy (esp Neneng, Dencio & Manilyn).

6) One hour is NOT enough to go surfing, lol.   we ended up staying for 2 hours at cloud 9 and we didn’t wana leave! but we had scheduled island hopping and a lot of other stuff for the day so…
7) anyway, if you have questions feel free to ask me! I’m no expert but i’d love to help you out ❤

8)  My sister Dianne took lots of photos on her film camera and you might want to check it out here :
