Coco Grove White Beach Resort & Swimming Pool in Siquijor

I loved Siquijor Island & the most amazing features of the resort is its beach, the garden & the swimming pool area with the overlooking view of the sea. The whole area is huge and the pool are nice and the villa is very pleasant and roomy as well. For me food is a little bit pricey for a solo budget traveler but the taste is above average. The best thing about this resort though is their staff because they are so very friendly, attentive and accommodating. Their resort's garden and coconut trees adorn the compound and has a wide stretch of beach front with good marine life just few meters from the shore. During my trip, the rains pour down which started in the morning but I want to enjoy every single minute in the resort. I like the nipa hut & their reclining bench if you just want to hang out on the beach to read your favorite books  or tablet games and listen to good music in your ipad & mp3 player. The pool area of Coco Grove Beach Resort have the swim up bar was a good place for me.


A Luxury White Beach Sand in Siquijor | Coco Grove Resort

One of the best & well-known pristine white sand in the Island of Siquijor. From my last tourist destination in the Island, I'll make sure to visit this luxury beach resort before heading to Dumaguete City that day and I was amazed about the interior, ceiling and architectural design of their veranda & cottages as well.The view from the beach front is so tempting & very nice place to unwind. I am truly impressed with the lay out of the resort that allowed privacy for all the guests. The staff seemed very nice, friendly, accommodating and the resort & their resort garden are lovely & unique. 

I would definitely recommend it to my friends, office mates &  family as well, had I knew how beautiful the place is and one of those upscale resort in the island. Also, they offers diving & island hopping tour to nearby islands and attractions in Siquijor.

Oldest House in Siquijor Island | Cang Isok House of Enrique Villanueva

This old house is located at Barangay Libo in the Town of Enrique Villanueva. When you're coming from Salagdoong Beach Resort, estimated time is around 20-30 minutes away. I was surprise on how this house survive over the years along the coastline of Siquijor Island and built in the 1800's. Nipa hut is little bit destructing due to several typhoon in the past years. I'd also love a wooden house made of Molave which is abundant in the province. This old house must have been one simple and beautiful bahay kubo by the sea. Nowadays Cang-Isok House survives and remains its true beauty & structure standing today. There was no caretaker & owner in the house so I decided to take closer. It's a refreshing feeling that day and I promise to go back there soon.

Unspoiled Beach of Salagdoong Resort in Siquijor

Also, they have swimming pool area but that time this facilities is not functional during my trip. Just like the water in Larena Port, it is clear and clean which is separated by a huge limestone rock where slides and diving platform were installed. They are also making so many improvements with their facilities that it makes it look so commercial already. No worry for the foods and cottages at the beach as you can have it very cheap right in your budget. Some family enjoying the whole day but I need to go back to the port to catch the last trip ferry going back to Dumaguete City. The place is really a bit unspoiled but the beauty of the place is so amazing & I will suggest it to my friends. Happy Trip Everyone - Bisayang Manlalakbay Around the Philippines.


A Scenic View of Salagdoong White Beach Resort in Siquijor

This place is very awesome and I like the clear blue water perfect for a real getaway which owned by the government as per my guide driver but the beach is really inviting. So I immediately grabbed my things and take a quick swim & dive on the water. Also, saw the limestone mountain, white sand cove and coral littered in the beach area. The facilities like restaurant, cottages, comfort room and swimming pool but not functional that time but I think a lot of people would love & enjoy the place every single moment of your stay. There's no entrance fee during my visit and one of the non-touristy beaches in the Philippines, though this is a public beach. It's not crowded and doesn't have a party atmosphere, you can enjoy & relax all the way. From the other side of the mountain cliff is a platform constructed where you can dive or slide on the side.

Overall, a very nice place to unwind and relax from all the bustle of city life or from the busy work environment.  You can also stay for a night there because they provide rooms and tent for you ranging 800 to 1500 depending on number of person per room.


Passing Through Salagdoong Forest in Maria, Siquijor Province

I love the scenery going to the white beach resort of Salagdoong in Maria, Siquijor. I'm riding habal-habal or single motorcycle during the trip and luckily the weather is fine & sunny. The area is consist of different trees like ipil-ipil, coconut, molave & many more which forming like a tunnel shed.  It is a rough road track going to the main beach area. A man made forest is a part of the local government in Siquijor reforestation program which conserving the nature location of the area. Did you know that the name Salagdoong was taken from a bird's nest which is abundant in the town of Maria. I experienced one of the kind adventure!
