Best Hotels in Enrique Villanueva, Philippines

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!

The hotel is located in a peaceful isolated place near the nice beach where you can get only if you stay in one of two hotel there or if you buy a ticket. The road goes through the woods so it is very quiet. You can grab a kayak at the hotel and explore the nearby empty beaches or do some snorkeling just in front of the hotel. The beach is located 3 min away, and there is a small rock with some places for jumping into the water, but the local officer said it is forbidden to swim and jump there. There is a restaurant at the hotel, but it is quite pricey, the nearest place to eat is only bike or tricycle reachable. The luxe room is awesome, a lot of space and light, truly loved the big windows. Definitely recommend if you love quiet places and can drive a bike or a car.

The owner of the resort is Chinese. He is talkative and forthright. He gave a lot of travel suggestions. The path to enter the resort is a bit rotten. The environment inside is beautiful. The photos are not retouched. It’s okay to be in a daze all day. It only costs 300P to rent a snorkeling suit for a day. Go snorkeling directly from the steps of the hotel, watching sea turtles is so easy! It would be better if the room facilities are updated, there are no matching cups and toiletries in the room, it is recommended to rent a motorcycle to drive to the hotel when you arrive at Xidao Pier, the hotel has a second phase of construction in progress , I believe it will be better in the future

Location wise, it is not near the party area which isa San Juan. The hotel is located in Lazi where most of the tourist spots are located but if you are a party goer, the hotel is quite far. But the hotel may call for a transportation. Signal - There is no mobile signal in the hotel. They have wifi but there were times that the wifi was so slow and its a bit frustrating since you have no other access as your mobile data will not work. Room - very spacious. They have mini fridge, a TV and electric kettle. The TV has netflix, YT. They have cabinets. Hot and cold shower is available. Their blanket is not a comforter, it is just plain flat blanket. They provide towels. Amenities - they have swimming pool but it was not warm which is not an issue. You can lounge in the couch while having you tan. Staff - they were friendly and very accommodating. They have this walkie talkie so you can contact them if you have questions or requests. Restaurant - food was great and they offer a variety of menu. The whole place is so quiet that if you want a relaxing stay, this hotel is great except for the absence of mobile signal.

Stayed 4 nights in bungalow with Mountain View. We were walk-ins. Something went wrong with our online reservation but they were able to accommodate us. Gary, Cristy and manager Gretchen were very good hosts. The resort has an infinity pool, full bar, modern decor rooms and a good menu. I rate most places on the quality of their towels. I see this as the only thing to improve but everything else more than made up for it. Gary and Cristy are amateur musicians like myself. Tho we did not have much playing in common, its always great fun to share songs and interest. Would love to return

Coco can't book it. I don't think it can be called a resort here. It is actually a six-bedroom homestay, not worth the price. The ants and mosquitoes rebelled in the house that stayed the first night. The bathroom was blocked by water and the toilet was blocked. There was no waiter after eight in the evening. Until dawn, fortunately, there was room available. Fall asleep. Wi-Fi only has a strong signal in a pavilion in the grass. It is called an ”Internet cafe” and cannot be received in the room. Commenting that the hotel has a beach, abandoned the Infiniti Heights Hotel, and found that the beach was difficult to say, as shown in the figure. Later I went to Infiniti for lunch, a little regretful to give up. The only thing that felt good was the hotel meals, which were really great and I liked the chef! It ’s delicious and beautiful with your eyes closed! Baton! Burrito is super recommended! Overall, sober. I sincerely ask everyone to comment some more true and appropriate!

Mad monkey is probably the most reliable standard there is when it comes to hostels. You know several things: you’ll always make friends, you’ll always have fun and you’ll always have the opportunity for an adventure! Shout out to Takako who made every evening super fun and memorable 🔥! She deserves a mention😎!

Stayed here recently and we loved it! After being scammed in Bohol our spirits were low but the staff here really picked us back up & made us feel really welcome and at home! They are lovely. The rooms are really clean and you're taken care of. Lazi is a small little town on the other side of the island far from the port. It's not very touristy at all, especially compared to San Juan. I would definitely recommend a stay here :)

A very nice place to stay at! Super friendly and helpful owner and staff. Great menu with a wide variety and very tasty food. A bit remote as it is the most southern resort on Siquijor, and not all tricycle drivers want to drive there, but we still managed and we enjoyed every minute of our 10 day stay. If the resort had had a soft sandy beach, it would have been perfect, but the snorkelling and the beautiful pool made up for it 100%. Wow! A great experience overall!
