Where to stay in Siquijor?  Try Coco Grove Beach Resort.   It's one of the nicest resorts in Siquijor.

How to get there?

From Manila, take a flight to Dumaguete either by Philippines Airlines or Cebu Pacific.  Coco Grove can arrange all transports going to the resort.  But just to give you an idea, a van will take you to the Dumaguete sea port.  And then from there, you'll cross the island by taking a fast craft (which is quicker by the way ) or RoRo.  It will take 1-2 hours depending on which one you choose.    From Siquijor port, a cute jeepney (not the typical ones you see in Manila) will take you to the resort.  The resort charges P800 for round trip transfers.

 The resort has an 800m stretch of white sand beach and has its own house reef which is called Tubod Marine Sanctuary.  They also have in-house dive shop and dive school.  Rates here:  Diving Packages

You can rent a motorcycle, kayak, and snorkeling gears for your adventures.  There's also a souvenir shop in the resort.  You can find anything here! I swear!

There are numerous of rooms to choose from - from standard rooms to pent house. We only got the standard room because our trip was just a spontaneous one. We paid P3,100 per night for the Aurora 2 room.  It's close to the pool area, bar, spa and restaurant.  I was very satisfied and the service was SUPERB (5 star).   We're always greeted with warm smiles wherever we go in the resort. Makes you forget about creepy stories about Siquijor. :)

Thought of going to Siquijor for an adventure.  I heard that tourists can rent a motorcycle to go around the island.  I was totally sold of the idea.


Siquijor is located in Central Visayas.  It's well-known for voodoo, sorcery, witchcraft and all nasty evil stuff that makes you skeptic to go to this island.  Some say that the myth was only created to protect the island from foreign invaders.  But some say that they really exist.

We had some guidelines from friends who went before us:
1. Drink bottled water only
2. Don't make eye contact
3. And don't piss off anyone

They're pretty obvious. :) And it won't hurt if you follow these too.

But what's more exciting is to rent a motorcycle and explore the island on your own!   Prior to this trip, our auntie gifted us a map.  It was pretty helpful but still instinct is much needed plus some tips from the locals or from the staff in the resort.
