Coco Grove Beach Resort

Coco Grove Beach Resort exceeded my expectations. I especially loved that it's not an oversized resort, so you can easily walk back to your room from anywhere on the property. The staff were exceptional, always friendly and welcoming. The landscaping is beautiful and gives the whole resort a peaceful, tropical feel. The restaurants are reasonably priced, the two large pools (plus a smaller relaxation pool) mean it's always easy to find a quiet spot, and the complimentary port transfers were a great touch. The beach is part of a marine sanctuary, so the snorkeling is fantastic. Expect to meet Nemo and plenty of his friends. The WiFi was also the best I experienced anywhere in the Philippines, consistently fast and reliable. As a bonus, the resort has a smaller sister property about a five-minute walk down the same beach, and guests have access to it as well if they feel like a change of scenery. My only small observation is that some of the restaurant staff occasionally looked a bit overworked, although they never stopped smiling and providing great service. You can rent a motorbike at the resort, which I did, but I returned not long after because, honestly, why leave paradise?

This place was absolutely beautiful and close to all the things that we wanted to do while here. If you want to just be on the beach or relaxing at the pool this place is for you. We stayed in a villa above the dive shop which had a beautiful beach front view and the sunrise and sunset from the balcony was unbeatable!

Beautiful place and excellent service! The staff of this resort provides extraordinary hospitality! I can’t sing enough praises for the wonderful experience we had In Siquijor. We definitely will be back and would highly recommend Coco Grove!

Stayed here on Siquijor and it exceeded what I expected. The property is large but never feels crowded — lush gardens, coconut palms, and a long stretch of white sand right out front. The Tubod marine sanctuary is steps from the beach, so you can snorkel straight off the shore without booking a boat. Room was clean, well air-conditioned, and having a veranda to sit on in the evening was the best part. The seawater pools are a nice touch. Restaurants on-site are convenient and the food was good, though you'll pay resort prices — there are cheaper places to eat a short ride up the road in San Juan if you want variety. The staff are the standout. Warm, attentive, and unfailingly kind. Getting here takes a ferry from Dumaguete plus a short ride, but it's worth the trip. Would recommend for: couples, families, anyone wanting quiet over nightlife.
