Seasons
December–June is high season. July–November is low season with onshore winds and higher risk of monsoon winds and rains. Having said that we are fully booked most of the year. We offer lower room rates in the low season. Siquijor Island is usually not badly affected by storms and typhoons which tend to hit more northern/eastern areas of the Philippines and the larger islands.
Location
We are situated on the south-western side of the island by the national road, right on the beach, 15 minutes from Siquijor Port, 45 minutes from Larena Port, and 10 minutes from Siquijor new airport (still to open). Cafés, ATMs, Restaurants, Taxis/tricycles and Dive shops are very close by. Easy access to the rest of the island.
We can arrange for a pick up from Siquijor Town ferry terminal, 15 minutes from the resort, for a fee. Please call/WhatsApp a day or two in advance on mobile +63 908 1656 277 or landline +63 355 426 080 to book and call again before boarding the ferry to Siquijor to reconfirm the exact time. It is also easy to catch a taxi or tricycle at the ferry terminals and the local drivers need the business. Drop offs to the ports at check-out can easily be arranged at the resort.
Ferries and tickets
There are many ferries throughout the day between Dumaguete and Siquijor. From Cebu and Bohol/Tagbilaran Oceanjet is the main ferry operator. Oceanjet sells tickets in advance online. Other ferry companies sell tickets at the port on the day of travel. It is generally not easy to find up-to-date ferry schedules online, but we maintain a record and can help provide information.
Airports
We do not do transfers from/to Dumaguete/Sibulan Airport on Negros Island. However, from Dumaguete Airport it is easy to get a taxi/tricycle to Dumaguete ferry terminal and from there take one of the many daily ferries to Siquijor. Siquijor new airport is expected to open some time in 2025...
