Amazing beach front view to wake up to. Spacious and clean room.

Specific for us but would have liked more vegetarian options

One of a kind place to stay. Amazing property with beautiful rooms and friendly/ super lovely staff. Has a lovely family feel to it and one of the most relaxing places to stay on the island, with the beach (pretty much private) just out front. The owners are incredibly helpful and generous (if there is ever anything you need) which makes the stay all the more lovely.

Amazing staff, super helpful and friendly. Simple and delicious breakfast and dinner in the restaurant also lovely. Incredible view from our villa and pool. Great location between Cloud 9 and General Luna, both only a short scooter ride away.

Wifi not the best, but that goes for most of the island and we found it a blessing in disguise.

My friend and I were travelling the Philippines for a month and wanted to book our last three nights in a nice place. When we arrived to the place, we were extremely disappointed. It was very difficult to find and it looks nothing like the photos there was major construction happening at the place, the staff were not welcoming and not helpful. The room that was advertised with pictures was not accurate to the room that we had booked. The room that we had booked still was very, very basic and not worth the price at all, there were rats running into the kitchen when we were there and we only stayed for a total of one hour and a half because we were so disgusted and taken back. we didn’t even unpack and instead we had asked the manager for a refund or a free upgrade because of the false advertising and the circumstances of the place and they had to call the owners because the manager didn’t know what to do. The owners were in Italy and we were speaking with them on the phone. They were extremely rude, extremely inappropriate, and extremely unprofessional, they did not care about what we had to say about our experience within the first 30 minutes. They weren’t going to upgrade us or give us a refund and we felt extremely unsafe at this location being two female travelers. The husband and wife refused to tell me their names and were yelling at me on the phone. They had nothing to say and then when we were asking for a refund, they said yes finally after an hour of talking to them, we wanted to leave there immediately we felt very unsafe and when the husband finally called back on the staffs phone to tell us that we were getting a refund, they said they called the police on us and that we had 10 minutes to leave and then he hung up on me even though he did nothing wrong it was false advertising. He wasn’t even in the country, and he scared my friend and I who are not from the Philippines.

amazing beachfront, very intimate. perfect for couples who would like their own peace of serenity. the rooms are beautifully furnished, high ceilings and big bright windows.

Ambiance

Breakfast wasn’t hearty enough to be worth the price.

the property is very private. we stayed in the beachfront Villa and it was so nice not feeling like we were at a big resort, however it comes with all the great qualities of a nice resort; private pool, great food, friendly and accommodating staff. truly wonderful

staff and owners were amazing! it was quiet and almost tranquil. Breakfast was great even got packed breakfast for our super early departure. dinner is very good as well.

no easy access to the sea.

Amazing property with its location right around the corner of Cloud 9 and jacking horse. Ideal if you want to have that easy access to a surfing destination - just a minute away by scooter. Also heading into General Luna proper only takes 5 minutes drive by scooter. Also would recommend the amazing food at next door Harana. Staff (Amira) was super welcoming during our stay and arranged a great breakfast for us each day. She helped us get our scooter and later the papers to go back to Manila - which saved us a lot of hassle. The room itself is both large and super comfortable, the wifi is decent, and the bathroom with warm water a welcome break after being out all day.

It was not a problem for us but a note if you are traveling with friends: there is just a partition with the bathroom so if you are not completely comfortable with each others bathroom routine this might not be the place for you. Unfortunately the chef was not there - so while we enjoyed a great breakfast each morning we were not able to taste the well-known L'Osteria food this time - but we will definitely come back for that!

toilet leaking and shower water smells like pee

A truly lovely place! Exceptional room and view. Comfortable and classy. Nouveau Filipino architecture was gorgeous with natural light and high ceilings. Soft earthy handmade wooden furnishings contrasting with modern white and stainless fixtures. There was no detail that wasn’t thought of. Loved waking up early to watch the sunrise and falling asleep to the crashing waves. Very romantic. The staff was exceptional and made sure the room was well kept and provided solid information and concierge services. Location is great, close enough to all the fun and action but tucked away and private. Breakfast was included and was soo good we ate there every morning. Our dinner was also wonderful with traditional Italian handmade pastas and fresh salads. Highly recommend for couples looking for a romantic getaway with island vibes, both fun and chill. I planned private beach engagement dinner and had 3 nights stay... was better than expected and was above and beyond.

WiFi worked fine but was a little slow but that’s siargao, didn’t mind disconnecting from the modern world. Saturday nights at white banana is loud and can hear edm music from room until about 10pm which is fine but could be issue for those who want complete peace and quiet. Was really nothing that disappointed us however. Was the perfect place in our eyes.
