Gingoog Vacations from $300

The villa was comfortable and cozy and aesthetically appealing. However, there was a spark on our roof that seemed a precursor to a fire which kept us up at night. There was a crab that crawled out of the toilet, subsequently clogging it. In the pool, a woman was picking out lice from her daughter’s hair (into the water), saying the lice that inhabited her hair were large and plentiful, all within earshot of the staff. The property was also under construction, so we were unable to use the spa. The lagoon seemed dirty and unkempt We were out for most of the day because we had excursions everyday we were there, but those were our complaints. The hotel is close to the main road with tricycles that pass frequently (only 30 PHP per person). The staff were welcoming and friendly and the happy hour was delicious albeit limited. Despite my reservations, we had an overall pleasant stay but would probably recommend a different resort to our friends

The Hotel Retreat Siargao Resort is an excellent location for all the people who wanted to visit Siargao. Jason Ha and the wife Reni is an excellent host. They will provide you with a bottle of red wine and a 7 course dinner on your first day in Siargao. The location is about 30 minutes from cloud 9 and from the Corgi Isla. Thank you Jason & Reni and it is well appreciated.

Breakfast was tasteful.Pool needs some make over, there were chipped tiles. The inside of the apartment, downstairs only have 2 fans no AC so it will get hot. Limited utensils if you want to cook. The worst part is the bunk bed, every time we moved, it creaked like it's going to fall apart.. the bathroom/ shower, sink was not draining unless you manually open the little black stopper, had to use a disposable fork to push. Lights are dim in the rooms..I think this hotel needs some TLC if you want to rate this as 4 stars.. definitely right now at least a 2.5 stars. You have to ask for everything, housekeeping is till 4pm only.
