Find San Juan Hotels With Balcony

LOVED our stay at Coco Grove. We are not fans of large resorts, but this is an exception. Even though our first 2 nights the resort was full we did not feel like there were lots of people. The property is huge, villas and rooms are spread out amidst lush tropical foliage, there are 3 different & good sized pools in different areas. 3 food outlets. A decently equipped gym. A nice gift shop that doesn’t mark up the items exorbitantly—we found it very reasonable. Very well planned resort. Staff are just lovely—very sweet, attentive and helpful. Everyone. From drivers, front office, restaurants, spa, cleaners, gardeners, guards, lifeguards—all really just genuinely nice. I greatly appreciate how the staff are kind to animals too. Went to the Spa 3 nights for massage—ask for joy—I had one of the best aromatherapy massages from her (2 nights—my first and last; the masseuse I had the other night was mediocre). And if you prefer hard massages ask for a Swedish deep tissue massage from Fretzel, she was excellent according to my partner. We stayed in an ocean villa. Very spacious with a good sized bathroom with separate shower and bath tub too. There are also shelves and closets to hang clothes. Rooms are cleaned daily which we appreciate (if you don’t want yours cleaned daily let them know when you check in). It was wonderful having the beach & sea “at your doorstep.” Our stay was very peaceful. The Sanctuary Villas are at the opposite end, near the spa and in a bit more private area, we’ll probably request that for next time. there isn’t anything wrong with the Ocean villas (which are near the dive center) it’s just there was more foot traffic in the area than in the sanctuary. Internet is good in some areas and weak to none in others. Food is ok, portions are good. Decent selection for breakfast. For vegetarians the vegetable curry in Salanandas is good, Thai inspired better than at the Beach Bar. The fries and the stir fried vermicelli noodles w vegetables at the Beach Bar were better than the fries and the vegetarian pancit (these noodles were thicker) at Salamandas. Don’t forget to say hi to Macky, their rescued Brazilian Parrot We’ll be back, coco Grove is on our list of favorite beach resorts!

We want to thank the owner Gri and staff at this lovely hotel! The warmth and welcome we felt was phenomenal, as well as the service. The highlight of the stay was the gorgeous pool and view. We loved beginning and ending each day with a dip and hearing the waves crash as we fell asleep. Magical! The flowers and trees on the property are stunning and the rooms are comfortable and reasonably appointed. The beds are firm by western standards but being that we are Americans who live in China, we love this for our backs! We ate breakfast every morning and one of our dinners in the hotel restaurant and it is very high quality, tasty food. I especially loved the organic spinach and homemade dumplings, as well as the mapo tofu- YUM! The fresh fruit each day was crisp and delicious and I LOVED drinking coconuts by the pool. Thank you, Cherry! Coffee is for purchase at the restaurant, not in the rooms. The location of the hotel is quite remote, meaning it is peaceful and quiet. I recommend you arrange transportation for excursions in advance each day, or rent a scooter, as waiting for a tricycle can be long. We were told that you can swim and snorkel in front of the hotel but the tide was too low when we tried one day. However, there are snorkels and kayaks for use in the hotel! The hotel is still developing some of the water activities available. The pool is deep enough for diving courses, but check to make sure they are ready, as the gear is still in order as of Oct 2023. There are snorkel and dive spots a short ride away, however, and you can ask for help at the desk to book a tour or connect with a dive shop.

I came to Xidao to stay for three nights. On the first night, coco had no room. I chose a cheap hotel nearby to deal with it for one night. The result exceeded my expectations. Although the rooms are simpler, the public facilities are great. The swimming pool is huge, and children like to play in it. The seaside scenery is also beautiful. You can also dive, and you can stay in the lobby for a long time. The Internet speed is super fast, not the Philippines at all. Not far from attractions. The front desk can help to call Tutu car. If you come to Tin Island and want to travel around the island, staying here is enough. By the way, next to it is the closed Internet celebrity homestay ustory, enjoying the same sea area. The Chinese boss is very enthusiastic, and the scrambled eggs with tomatoes are delicious. Some suggestions, the coffee for breakfast is instant, which is a bit unexpected in the Philippines, a country where you can drink good coffee at any time.

The resort is very quiet as a whole, and the rooms are super clean and beautiful

Travelled yesterday to Siquijor, and unfortunately, the hotel I booked is 45 minutes away from the port. I found this haven online. I went there and luckily there's one more room available (20 mins away from the port) Surprisingly, the room is in front of the beach!!! sliding doors made of glass made it much fantastic. They just have fan rooms, and electricity interruption on a daily basis for only 15 minutes. They have wifi at the bar and resto but phone's reception is not good here. If you're looking for a place to relax and get away from a stressful city, this spot is perfect. To make it 5, hopefully they'll have rice meals that's good for one pax only. Food are really good, except the weird sinigang (pork tamarind soup) with carrots haha. Staff are friendly, especially ate in the morning taking care of the restaurant. They know English, tagalog and their dialect. Overall I am happy and wanting to be back there again soon. :)

Wow! An amazing place and experience! The location and scenery at this small and very cozy resort is difficult to explain beyond “AMAZING”. On a cliff, overlooking Apo island and amazing Sunsets! Lounge in the pool for some unearthly sunset views and star gazing. They staff were OUTSTANDING! So friendly, helpful, very attentive, made us feel at home. The food at the restaurant was so delicious and fun. HOMEMADE ICE CREAM! Best food we had in the island in our 18 days on Siquijor. We booked at Kayawan for only 3 nights. We could not leave! Repeatedly extending to eventually 13 nights there. The stair case down to the ocean, descending along the cliff, is so unique and beautiful. Easy to snorkel and it’s beautiful. Though I had injured my knee before arriving to Siquijor, I was still able to do some scuba diving (I want to do more!). Very nice dive site and the dive shop on the property is very nice and well equipped with new gear! We stayed in an ocean view villa. WOW! So comfortable, classy and fun. The bathroom is “outside” through a back door of the unit. So fun, luxurious and unique. It is an amazing design feature which my words can not capture how nice it is. Just fun showering (very privately) outside! Oh, and I would be remiss if I did not say they have the best scotch/whiskey selection I have seen in the Philippines. Especially outside of Manila. Wow! (Rumor is they have already replenished much of what I consumed 😱🤣🤣) Siquiijor is now my favorite Island in the Philippines and Kawayan is my favorite resort! (NOTE: they do not recommend this place for children, and as a father, I have to AGREE! You are on a cliff! There are rails, but these will not contain a young child!!! )

The best value for money on a beautiful white fine sand beach in the Philippines. Plenty of quality places to eat within easy walking distance. Cool beachfront cafes with cheap ice cold beer. Crystal clear warm water to enjoy a swim all year round. Lots of interesting places to visit on a local tricycle. Rooms big and comfortable beds. Free filtered water. Great spa pool, children’s pool and swimming pool. Very helpful and cheerful staff. A perfect place to get away from the huge crowds in El Nido. Coron, Bohol and Boracay in particular. As a travel and tour operator for over 30 years, now retired, this is up there with the ideal family run resorts. Not too big and impersonal. Get there now as it will grow and be ruined by the huge crowds one day.

The hotel has a beach, the room has a pot and induction cooker, you can make something to eat yourself, the front beach room is very good, and the triple room in the back room is a big bed, which is a bit embarrassing
