I had decided to book a hut for three nights based on the reviews here - the owner required full payment, so I ponied up about 2000PHP on paypal to reserve the room. Unfortunately, once I arrived, I decided that I hated the room - it was dark, the lightbulb was a joke, and I couldn't even open my windows... More

Positives: Kitchen and food is okay, staff are very friendly and the place is cheap. Negatives: The room I stayed in was awful. I have backpacked a lot and have come across some shabby rooms before and this was right up there. Make shift bed with a wafer thin mattress. I had to lay two mattresses on top of each... More

We were there for a week, once you climb down those stairs you do not want to carry your bags back up for a few days. A quiet place, the diving is fine and payable with no crowds and there were always staff there to provide food or a drink. We like small islands and we liked it there. The... More

I went on a solo backpacking trip to Siquijor, and boy was I glad to have stayed at Kiwi Dive Resort, where I got to enjoy some time alone in such a peaceful tropical setting. It is, after all, located in one of the island's more quiet spots in Sandugan. For a mere 690 pesos a night, I was happy... More

We paid P450 for two single beds in a small room with own shower toilet and no view but it was a short walk down some 45 steps to the restaurant and beach view. Hammocks, deck chairs and outdoor tables enhanced the eating experience. Great food and the red wine at P590 was divine though just one bottle. Our three... More

We enjoyed our stay. Room was fine, food was fine also (sort of like pub food). Staff were attentive and the sitting area and the small bar had a good vibe. It was the most "happening" place on the beach, but that is a function of attracting a younger crowd. Social, but fairly mellow.

DO NOT GO! I emailed this place asking to book me and my friend a room. They told us that they don't book, but there are rooms and we can just come. The worst case there are another guesthouses that will accommodate us. We arrived. The place was fully booked. They didn't help us at all and the places next... More
