REVIEWS
From Our Guests
Amazing place!
We stayed at Kawayan for a couple of days in February 2018, this is fantastic place! This is one of the best hotel experience ever, the view over the sea, fantastic food and service, the diving – word class! Thanks for your hospitality.
This is a 6 star resort
We stayed at KHR for one week in january. As soon as we came to the resort I felt peace. The only noise you hear is cows, roosters and gekkos. This place is a paradise on earth and the best hotel experience ever. We enjoyed every minute here, its so calm and the staff is AMAZING.
Food is great, breakfast pancakes are to die for, i had the same chicken for lunch many times since it was so tasty, dinner changes every day and its always great.
Will come back here again, loved the pool, the sunsets, the sea for snorkeling and the villa was so nice!
Since the resort is small and has only 7 villas, it means there can be a maximum of 14 persons at once. We were lucky to be the only customers for two days. Felt like a princess and we got special dinner and prosecco in the garden while watching the sunset.
Cant say enough good things about this resort, was so great. I can recommend KHR to people who appriciates calm, excellent service, good food and amazing views.
Thank you again to the owners for your hospitality and the staff for making our stay PERFECT! We will be back.
Amazing Stay!
We just came from the Kawayan Holiday Resort and we were just amazed with the out-of-this-world view of the sea and sunset, excellent location, world-class facilities, delicious food, and the generous/accommodating owners. Aside from all those, we would like to send a special shout-out to the staff who made our 3-night stay at the resort so very memorable. Thank you very much to Charisse, Cecil, Cherry and Jeraldine. You ladies treated us like royalties and made us not want to go.
Peaceful resort with excellent diving!
We loved our 5 nights at Kawayan Holiday Resort. It’s a very peaceful resort, on the cliff overlooking their house reef. Great sunsets to be enjoyed from the infinity pool (with bar).
The staff are excellent, very attentive and good humoured. Jan and Cherry kept us entertained in the evenings! The food was great, with a different menu every evening.
We did a SCUBA pool refresher and 7 dives with Joey, an excellent instructor and dive guide – thanks! Great life and colour on all the dives; we saw several sea turtles, lionfish, sea snakes, frogfish, triggerfish etc.. The dive boat is real luxury and they also have a newer boat under construction. Cherisa had fresh fruit and drinks ready when we came up the steps after each dive. The resort is to be commended for going plastic bottle free, refillable bottles provided.
Our flight to Siquijor was cancelled at the last minute and the resort organised a chartered flight from Cebu, with van transfer on arrival.
Highly recommended!
Great base to relax or adventure in paradise
I have actually never left a review for a hotel before but made a trip adviser account specially to leave this review.
Our 3 night stay here in June was by far the best accommodation experience we have ever had.
The location was fantastic, views amazing, but the food and the staff were what really made our stay fantastic. A bit of a long trip to get there, but the size of the island means nothing is actually more than an hour away.
Anything we requested or mentioned an interest in the staff were very happy to make suggestions or help arrange anything we needed.
The worst part about our stay was having to say goodbye to the staff when it was time to leave.
A wonderful visit!
We had an amazing time at Kawayan Holiday Resort. From the first moment arriving on the island, two staff members were there to meet us, along with a very nice van, cold drinks, and a clean, cold towel to wash away all the stress of travel. The trip to the resort was less than an hour, and only the last few kilometers were unpaved and quite bumpy…but that’s not the fault of the resort.
The place itself is stunning, with a beautiful design of restaurant and bar, pool area, and wonderfully relaxing bungalows overlooking the ocean. The resort is situated at the top of a 30-meter cliff, and the views, rocks, coral reef below, and landscaping all come together in very picturesque scenes. The staff were all extremely nice and professional.
They did their jobs exceptionally well, and we felt a bit sad on leaving because we felt we’d made some new friends. We had some very nice dives with their dive master and crew. The owners, were the best of hosts. They really made us feel at home, and went out of their way to surprise me on my birthday. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you! Don Papa! =)
If only I could give it 6 stars
This is the best resort experience I have ever had in the Philippines. We were the only guests and definitely felt spoiled – though it was a bit awkward too when we wanted to see other places and restaurants, we were so sorry to disappoint the lovely staff 😉
Where to begin… The villas are beautifully designed, clean, spacious. The shower is excellent, thoughtfully there are two washstands, the amenities are very nice. Quiet, modern aircon. The gardens are well-maintained. The location on the cliff is quite scenic, the private, nice coral reef right next to the hotel and free snorkeling equipment rental – just wow. Oh, and how about a beautiful pool with a very deep spot to practice diving and with floating candles at night. I cannot even begin to describe how lovely the staff is as well, we felt extremely welcome. At night it’s quiet and the sky is lit with stars.
The in-hotel restaurant is pricey for local standards but wow will I remember the food for a long time. The best I’ve had in the Philippines, full stop.
The only cons: you’ll have to accept some bugs in the open-air bathroom; the road to the resort is really bad, watch out; and the extra services, especially laundry and massages, are rather expensive.
Overall, an amazing place that makes me want to visit Siquijor again.
Our Location
The Kawayan Holiday Resort Philippines is located approximately half an hour from the harbor in Siquijor, on one of the most beautiful coastlines of the island. Off the main road, you need to use a not maintained natural road. It will therefore a little bit shake on the way to the resort.
Our boutique style facility is located in a very quiet location – pure nature. From time to time you may hear the mooing of a cow, the crows of a rooster or the famous sounds of the cute Gekkos.
Not for party addicts, but for connoisseurs! We offer the perfect ambience if you are looking for peace and relaxation. The nearest major villages, such as San Juan or Lazi, can be reached in about 15 minutes by motorbike.
The resort is surrounded by high coconut palms, nestled in a rocky, rough garden landscape directly above the sea. Enjoy diving, massages, the cool water in the swimming pool, culinary highlights from the kitchen or simply your villa.

Is there a diving center right at the resort?
The resort has its own professional dive center under Swiss management. The dive center and its service is only available to our guests.
We have two own dive boats. The big boat is driven by a licensed captain, a licensed boat mechanic and a qualified crew.
If you want to rent equipment, you can do that in the dive center too. For up to 16 divers we can offer modern and well maintained rental equipment.Weather permitting, we use our boat daily to dive along the Siquijor coast. As a rule, up to four dives per day are possible. Out of consideration for other guests, boat dives are limited to 60 minutes.
Can beginner courses be made?You can do every scuba diving course on-site. We have a fully equipped dive center right in the resort. Simply report to the dive center. We offer courses up to and including the Divemaster.
Can I try scuba diving?To get the first underwater impressions and to find out if diving suits you, you can do a discover diving with us. Discover dive includes only one lesson with exercises in the pool.
Discover diving is done free of charge by us. If you still want to try diving in the sea, then you can transform the discover dive into a paid "Try Scuba" and enjoy a dive in the sea. If you decide afterwards to do a diving course, the "Try Scuba" will be counted as the first dive to the course.Do I have to carry the diving equipment myself?No, our staff will take care of your equipment. Unless you want it differently.
Is swimming and snorkeling possible at any time?Low tide and hight tide have no influence on us. You can immerse yourself 24 hours directly in turquoise blue water - swimming, diving, snorkeling are always possible.
Do you have snorkeling equipment for rent?If you need a snorkel gear, just contact our staff. Definitely worth it because our house reef is one of the nicest in Siquijor.
If you want to go snorkeling with our dive boat is also possible. However, only if the boat is already planned for a trip with divers.
The trip by boat costs PHP 500.- per person. Incidentally, we will gladly give you a free snorkel gear, but you will have to pay for any damage or loss.
