Siargao Swell
Description
A bare-bones surf shack in General Luna where the price is the point. Rooms are genuinely tiny – one reviewer wasn’t exaggerating when they said the room width equals the bed width – but free breakfast is included and the owners will sort you a motorcycle rental without any hassle.
The staff are consistently described as friendly and eager to help, which goes a long way when you’re new to the island and figuring out logistics. It sits about five minutes off the main strip in a quiet patch, so you’ll actually sleep.
Book the air-con room. The fan rooms run hot and the Spanish reviews (read them through a translator) mention cockroaches and a surveillance-level fixation on shower sandal etiquette that apparently has gotten people kicked out.
Highlights
