Guest Reviews
- Sanne (10/5): Perfect - Tot in de puntjes op en top verzorgd. Denk aan vriendelijke eigenaren, geur van beddengoed/handdoeken/zeep. Iedere avond stond er een heerlijke wierook te branden in de badkamer. Perfecte ligging net buiten het hele drukke centrum. Niets op aan te merken
- Catherine F (10/5): Absolutely great! - The room was amazing: spacious, stylish decor, very good bed, quality bathroom.
The owners are also super friendly and extremely helpful. The view and the garden are also a pleasure to look at and enjoy.
Really nothing to complain about. Absolutely nothing!
- Tabea (10/5): Wunderschön und ruhig - Der vibe hat gestimmt, es war einfach gemütlich. Das Zimmer war schön und sauber, die Terrasse lud zum verweilen ein. Die Besitzer waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und standen immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Man kann vor Ort verschiedene Roller mieten um die Insel zu erkunden. Es gibt diverse, auch sehr gute, Restaurants, die fußläufig zu erreichen sind.
- Clara (10/5): Merveilleux - Nous avons adoré la chambre spacieuse, la salle de bain extérieure et intérieure proposé et lumineuse, le lit confortable. rien
- Renaud (10/5): Definitely our best stay within 2 weeks in PH! - Kamer, douche, gastvrijheid, tips, hulp, scooter, … -
- Rom (10/5): - we loved the room and the property itself. very chill energy. above everything it’s Joseph and Vera. lovely couple.
- John (10/5): Our stay at Mantaray villas was Excellent ! - The location was excellent, right on the beach and close to all the restaurants, cafes and bars in General Luna. A 10 minute bike ride to cloud 9. Joe and Vera were such great hosts and went above and beyond in making our stay as comfortable as ever. They were responsive to all our requests and were so very friendly and kind. The villa was so beautiful, spacious and comfortable with a tropical beachfront vibe. The pool was great to be able to relax in and have a swim after a full day of the many activities in Siargao. We most highly recommend anyone to stay in Joe and Vera's villa's if you are considering a holiday in Siargao. We would not consider staying anywhere else but Joe and Vera's Mantaray villas when we come back to Siargao.
- Deve (10/5): Amazing stay in Mantaray - The hosts were very helpful in scheduling transportation to/from the airport, rental vehicles, surfing instructors, and dinner reservations. The hosts were very knowledgeable in recommendations for things to do or places to eat. The room was very clean, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations. Most of all, the location to General Luna was perfect for us. Would definitely stay again in the near future! We loved everything. But, we wish we could stay longer and surfed one more time with them.
- Beth (10/5): Fantastic hosts and a peaceful able. -
- Anupam (10/5): Beautiful People and Home - Our host Alvira and Joseph are gem of people. We totally felt home and it was like staying in your own house. They have a beautiful home, just don't have enough words to praise them and their beautiful abode.We shall definitely be staying here when we come back again.
- Olga (10/5): Relaxing beachfront escape with stunning views - A beautiful place to stay in Siargao, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The beachfront room next to the pool is very big and amazing, with direct beach access and stunning views — ideal for a peaceful and private stay.
The property only offers accommodation and does not have food on site, but this was not an issue at all. Joseph recommended very good restaurants. We were also able to rent a motorbike with them, which made it easy and fun to explore the island.
A quiet, stylish, and well‑located place for anyone looking for freedom, comfort, romantic experience and a special beachfront experience in Siargao.
- Niamh (10/5): Absolute paradise! - Beautiful property and very helpful owners! Joseph and his family went out of their way to welcome us and provide us with information and recommendations. The location of the property is excellent and we loved the pool area and seats by the water! Can’t recommend highly enough!! Nothing!
- Huitema (10/5): Perfect - Prachtig huis, prachtige locatie, aardige host
- Peter (10/5): Fantastic host fantastic accomadtion - Everything was fantastic Joseph and Elvira are the best host I have ever experienced in my life, They treat you like family and close friends nothing was a problem.The accommodations was also fantastic we had two nights in the ocean view room and two nights in the garden room We loved both, pool was clean the ocean was at your doorstep. Should of stayed longer 🙁😂😂
- Peter (10/5): -
- Lyda (10/5): - Joseph and Elvira were wonderful host from day 1 of our 3 nights/4 days stay at their paradise- like place. They made our short get-away stress free by helping us arrange daily excursion to see different sides of Siargao. Our last night was rainy but had a cozy room massage which was so relaxing that it makes you long for more days to stay.
- Lyda (10/5): -
- Louis (10/5): - 虽然天气不佳,但是在Mantaray和Siargao度过了放松、愉快的四天😀 优美又宁静的房子到处体现了屋主夫妇的品味!还有贴心的出行和美食指引,实在太棒啦👍🏻 卫生也很干净!
- Laura (10/5): Incroyable! - Super emplacement, proche de General Luna.
Location sur place possible de scooter.
Super bien accueil par Joseph et Elvira qui nous ont recommandé d’excellents restaurants.
Chambre très spacieuse et confortable avec vue.
- Martin (10/5): A peaceful boutique oasis near General Luna combining beautiful architecture, beachfront serenity, and exceptional hospi - Our stay at Mantarey Siargao was nothing short of exceptional. This place truly feels like a hidden oasis on the island. Located far enough from the busy center of General Luna, it offers the perfect escape from noise and crowds while still being close enough to reach everything easily.
The property itself is an architectural masterpiece, beautifully created by the hosts Josef and Elvira. Every detail reflects thoughtful design and a genuine passion for hospitality. Their warmth and attentiveness make you feel welcome from the very first moment.
What impressed us just as much was the exceptional cleanliness and care throughout the entire property. Everything is maintained to a remarkably high standard.
Waking up with the beach right at your doorstep and the peaceful atmosphere all around makes this the ideal place for anyone who truly wants to slow down and recharge. Even during some ongoing improvements on the property, the tranquility and comfort were never disturbed.
If you are looking for a place on Siargao to relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy genuine hospitality, Mantarey is simply the perfect choice. Highly recommended. The only disappointment was that our stay had to en End 😞
- Marvin (10/5): Notre location préférée de tout notre séjour - La gentillesse et la disponibilité des hôtes, le confort du lit, la proximité avec les points d’intérêt Absolument rien, tout était parfait
- Keath (10/5): We’ll be back renting the whole property - It’s absolutely stunning, beautiful, inviting.
Hosts are great. Highly recommend. Nearby construction going in so it can get a bit noisy.
Indoor/Outdoor bathroom is beautiful but we had problems with birds and their droppings in the bathroom area
- Adam (10/5): -
- Maria Josefina (8/5): Muy lindo - Alojamiento muy bueno y atención increíble.
Los anfitriones tenían muy buena voluntad para ayudarte en lo que necesites.
Era muy lindo y acogedor el alojamiento.
Perfecto para ir en pareja. No hay espacios comunes para usar con libertad , más allá de la piscina y la terraza.
No incluye desayuno.
- Anas (10/5): Perfect - We had an amazing stay and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The owners, Joseph and Elvira, were incredibly kind and welcoming, always making sure that everything was perfect for us. They truly go above and beyond for their guests.
A very special mention to Elvira, who even prepared a delicious homemade cake for us — such a lovely and thoughtful gesture that made us feel at home.
The place itself is beautiful, cozy, and very well maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described.
We truly felt cared for from the moment we arrived until we left. Thank you, Joseph and Elvira, for making our stay so special. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
- Frank Dumouchel (10/5): -
- kristina (10/5): “A perfect stay that felt like home, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Joseph and Elvira. - We had an absolutely amazing stay at Mantaray Villa in Siargao and couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation.
From the very first moment, the owners Joseph and Elvira made us feel incredibly welcome. They are extremely warm-hearted, helpful, and always available whenever we needed anything. Staying here truly felt like being part of a family.
The rooms and the entire property are beautifully designed with great taste and attention to detail. Everything was spotlessly clean, very well maintained, and super comfortable. You can really tell how much care is put into this place.
The location is perfect, and having scooters available for rent directly at the villa made getting around Siargao very easy and convenient.
Thank you so much for everything — we are 100% coming back and can highly recommend Mantaray Villa to anyone visiting Siargao! Everything perfect
- chris (10/5): Quiet, peaceful serene with great hospitality - Property is gorgeous beautiful house accommodations are wonderful hosts were informative helpful really great!!! Furnishings and bed, Construction everything top notch super cool, bathroom, etc. etc. very peaceful
- Alejandro Navas Zozaya (10/5): -
- ben (10/5): מושלם - אנשים טובים ונותנים שירות טוב, והמקום עצמו מטורף
- Kenji (10/5): -
- Paul Edwin (9/5): It was awesome. - personalized care and really warm hosts-- Joseph and Elvira! NA
- Timothy (10/5): - Quiet, comfortable luxury stay
- Margaret (10/5): Lovely hosts with excellent accomodation - The hosts were such lovely people. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
The room was always spotless.
Highly recommend for Travellers as an excellent place to stay.
- Pascal (10/5): - This was an excellent stay. Thank you very much Joseph and Elvira. You are lovely and caring people. I can recommend this stay to anybody who looks for a more intimate and calm stay. Still it is close to the city.
- Kalliopi (10/5): Dream house, lovely people! - We had an absolutely amazing 4-night stay at this beautiful boutique room in Siargao. From the moment we arrived, the lovely couple who owns and runs the place made us feel like part of their family. They were incredibly helpful—introducing us to Siargao, assisting with all our trip planning, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay.
The room itself is pure paradise. The garden opens up to a stunning seafront view, creating the feeling of living in a dream house in a dream setting. Every detail is thoughtfully designed—the décor, the atmosphere, everything is simply perfect. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and would 100% come back. Highly recommended!
- Marilia (10/5): - Elvira and Joseph are outstanding hosts and the place is gorgeous. Th room was clean, comfortable, and had great amenities, the pool was nice and had a beautiful view, and the house is reasonably close to the central area of General Luna (short tuk tuk ride away). Absolutely recommend this place if you are visiting Siargao. Nothing.
- Harry (10/5): Amazing place to stay. Really fiendly hosts. - Such an amazing place to stay. The architecture of the building is incredible and the outside shower is a highlight. Really easy to get into town via tuktuk. The hosts of the property could not have been friendlier and helped up with any needs we had including booking places to eat. The list of recommended restaurants was also really helpful. N/A
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional hosts and beautiful surroundings - Set in an absolutely stunning location, surrounded by beautiful gardens with views over the beach, this place was truly special. The hosts were exceptional and had thought of every possible detail — from the incredible scent throughout the space to the super-comfortable bed and the beautifully styled room and bathroom. We were provided with everything we could possibly need, which added such a thoughtful, personal touch: coffee, mangoes, bananas, bottled water, rain jackets — you name it.
Elvira even put together a list of her favourite restaurants, complete with her recommended menu items, which was just brilliant and so rare to come across. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place more — we only wish we’d discovered it earlier and stayed longer, and were even greeted with refreshing watermelon juices on arrival.
Couldn’t get a better location ! near the hustle and bustle but also very private and in a quiet complex. nothing
- Terry (10/5): The accommodation is extremely nice. However is is all about the owners Joseph & Elvira that make this a memorable s - Great position close to everything.
Very personal high standard of finish.
- Erich (10/5): Einzigartig und empfehlenswert! Danke dem ganzen Team! - Diese Unterkunft machte uns sprachlos. Die Gastgeber Elvira & Joseph mit ihrem ganzen Team waren sehr herzlich, zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Wir konnten vor Ort den Roller mieten und erhielten super Tips für Ausflüge. Die Empfehlungen für die Abendessen war sehr gut. Wir haben diese Unterkunft ein Jahr zum voraus gebucht und unsere Erwartungen wurden weit übertroffen. Da gibt es gar nichts was uns einfallen würde…
- Klaudia (10/5): A relaxing getaway in Siargao with the best hosts - Loved everything! The pictures don’t do justice. There is so much love and care put into this house and the rooms, and the hospitality was truly amazing. My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time in Siargao and Joseph&Elvira definitely contributed to it. They organised surfing lessons, helped with dinner reservations, and we rented a great and comfortable scooter. We will come back! nothing! wished we could stay longer!
- Simon (10/5): -
- Ramon (10/5): Grandios - Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber gemütlich.
Elvira und Joseph haben sie sich mit viel Herz um uns gekümmert.
- denizkupeli (10/5): Above expectations! - The rooms are designed and decorated for your comfort, the lady of the house has thought of every detail. It's so elegant and comfortable. The owners are super helpful and friendly. You immediately feel safe and belong. They suggest the best places to eat at, and visit. Wonderful customer service but it also doesn't feel like a customer service, it feels you are friends from long. Everything about this place is beautiful.
- Sascha (10/5): Gorgeous house in a green lush oasis - Gorgeous house in a green lush oasis, directly by the water, very quiet, lots of outdoor space with a cute terrace that keeps you dry even on a rainy day, kept clean and sparkling by the fabulous owners and their staff. Motorbikes are provided which saves you the hassle of having to find a vendor and the paperwork. Restaurants are just a short walk or ride away. Nothing
- Lucia (10/5): -
- kelly (10/5): Loved this stay so much! Elvira and Joseph were wonderful hosts and helped us with everything we needed. The rooms and b - This was a beautiful place to stay. Beautiful gardens and waterfront view It was honestly spectacular!
- Laura (10/5): This is your sign to book :) - Warm and Exceptional Hosts
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Mantaray in General Luna. From the moment we arrived, the hosts were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely went the extra mile. They proactively helped us arrange our airport transfer and even handed us rain ponchos when the weather turned. Their thoughtful support made our stay truly special.
Lovely Room and Great Comfort
Our room was beautifully designed, spotless, and very comfortable. After busy days exploring Siargao, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Smooth and Relaxed Experience
Everything during our stay was extremely smooth and easy. Whether we needed tips, small assistance, or quick answers, the hosts were always there for us.
Convenient Scooter Rental
We also appreciated being able to rent a scooter directly on-site, which made exploring the island effortless.
Overall
A fantastic combination of comfort, heartfelt hospitality, and hassle-free service. We highly recommend Hotel Mantaray and would love to return.
- Damien (10/5): Waaaw ! I want to go back - The experience was absolutely incredible. We highly recommend this place without hesitation.
The location is ideal, very close to General Luna, and you can rent a scooter on-site at a very fair price to explore the area.
The place is beautiful, right by the sea, and the room is extremely comfortable. The hosts take great care of you at all times. Joseph even drove us to a surf spot, and they arranged an in-house massage as well as a surfing session with local instructors. Everything was truly exceptional.
They do everything they can to make your stay unforgettable.
Without a doubt, it was our best experience ever. Nothing !!
- Jennifer (10/5): Estancia inolvidable, volveremos sin duda!!! - Los dueños son una adorable familia que nos acogieron como parte de la familia desde el primer momento.
Las habitaciones son preciosas y están perfectamente limpias, además de ofrecer un servicio de limpieza diario. Cuidan al detalle la decoración de las habitaciones y todo funcionaba correctamente. Las vistas son impresionantes, ya que desde la piscina se puede observar Guyam Island y Daku Island.
Joseph y Elvira nos ayudaron en todo, ya que además de proporcionarnos una lista de recomendaciones de restaurantes, tours y demás, nos aconsejaron en todo momento sobre cómo aprovechar la isla al máximo durante nuestra estancia (donde poder aprender a surfear, rutas…).
Cabe mencionar que pudimos celebrar una pedida de mano inolvidable, ya que mi pareja se lo comentó a Joseph y Elvira para poder aprovechar las impresionantes vistas de la Villa para ese momento tan especial. Joseph se comprometió a construir un arco nupcial precioso y decorado por él mismo, lo que resultó en un precioso gesto y detalle por su parte. Por otro lado, Elvira ayudó en buscar una fotógrafa profesional que pudiera captar el momento especial de la pedida.
No tenemos ninguna queja sobre nuestra estancia, ya que después de haber estado en Filipinas anteriormente, este ha sido sin duda el mejor alojamiento que hemos tenido junto con la mejor compañía que es una familia encantadora.
Esperemos poder volver a Siargao algún día y que, sin duda alguna, nuestra estancia vuelva a ser Mantaray Siargao!!
Nunca olvidaremos esta preciosa experiencia que ha sido gracias a Joseph, Elvira y Lala. Nada, todo perfecto.
- Ma. Theresa (9/5): Lovely place for relaxation. - Peace and quiet. Homey place with beautiful sunrise and beach front. Accommodating and responsive host :) None.
- Djellza (10/5): - Es war so friedlich und sauber im Mantaray. Die Restaurant Auswahl der Besitzer war super! Allgemein waren Elvira und Joseph einfach die besten Gastgeber, die wir je hatten. Als wir kein Bargeld abheben konnten (auf der Insel sind die Bankautomaten am Wochenende manchmal leer), haben sie uns genügend Geld ausgeliehen. Zum Abschied haben wir noch die süsseste Zeichnunh erhalten von ihrer Tochter, die unseren ganzen Aufenthalt nochmals gekrönt hat.
Vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft ☺️
- Liam (10/5): Luxurious comfort and amazing staff - Joseph and Elvira were the most amazing hosts! They really made our stay in Siargao so much more enjoyable (great tips for surfing as well!) The villa and rooms are also beautiful and super comfortable and relaxing. Thanks again for everything I hope we can come back some day!
- Laura (10/5): Prachtig! - Wat een prachtige plek! Ook heel fijn dat iedere kamer een eigen buitenruimte heeft -
- philippe (10/5): un havre de paix, magnifique - pas de petit déjeuner rien
- Nathan (10/5): -
- Shion (10/5): Love to come here again! - I liked how from in the room we could see lots of green trees and also the sea. Everybody was very kind. Lots of great recommendations from the owner! ♥️ There was room cleaning everyday, but maybe I needed more towels. But all good. :)
- Elle Alexa (10/5): I had the pleasure staying for 5 nights in Mantaray. I stumbled in this accomodation in booking.com with high reviews. i - The location, the room, the villa, almost about everything!!! Nothing!
- Bryan (10/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): - Nos encantó la casa,la ubicación y el trato del personal. Sin duda fue un acierto.
Te ofrecen ayuda y consejos lo que sin duda hizo que nuestra estancia fuera todo un éxito.
Cuidan todos los detalles y te sientes como en casa. Nos gustó todo
- Maria Jose (10/5): Inolvidable - El trato de los dueños es excepcional, se preocupan y hacen lo posible para que tengas una estancia inolvidable. En nuestro caso lo han conseguido y esperamos volver a una isla que nos ha enamorado y quedarnos de nuevo en Mantaray. La casa es de ensueño con grandes ventanales y vistas al mar.
Gracias a Daise y Joseph Por decir algo, que esta un poco alejada de la zona centro, pero llegas sin problema al disponer de motos o tuc tuc siempre cerca.
- Guillaume (10/5): Détente peacefull à la Mecque philippine du surfboarding. - Pour préparer notre arrivée, les communications avec Joseph ont été très efficaces et rapides. J'avais besoin de préparer une surprise à l'arrivée dans la chambre pour l'anniversaire de mon fils de 17 ans. Quand nous sommes arrivés, nous avons été accueilli merveilleusement bien par Joseph et Elvira, et tout avait été préparé comme prévu.
Ensuite, il faut souligner l'espace, la qualité, la propreté, et surtout le grand goût avec lequel ont été décorées les deux villas où nous avons logé.
Il y a un grand jardin avec une piscine et une vue à 180° sur la mer en face. D'ailleurs, si vous faîtes un tour organisé des iles environnantes, le bateau pourra vous prendre directement sur la plage donnant chez Joseph et Elvira.
Elvira nous a donné de précieuses indications sur la logistique à Gal Luna, notamment le "juste" prix pour les tuk tuk (libre à vous de laisser un tip en +).
C'était la fin de notre voyage, et c'était le lieux parfait pour repartir avec un sentiment de plaisir et de quiétude.
Merci à tous les 2. Nada.
- Francisco Javier (10/5): - Joseph y Elvira han sido unos anfitriones excelentes, te facilitan todo en cualquier momento . Las instalaciones y la ubicación son muy buenas, limpias y con todo detalle . Totalmente recomendable Nada. No puedo decir nada negativo
- BERNARD (10/5): Maison exceptionnelle, tenue par des propriétaires passionnés et passionnants - L'accueil de Joseph et Elvira, leur sympathie, leurs conseils et leurs accompagnements pour visiter les îles avoisinantes. Leurs services : le scooter demandé était à disposition à notre arrivée, ils nous ont prêté leur matériel de snorkeling au début du séjour car nos bagages ne nous avaient pas suivis ! Mais aussi : le jardin magnifique donnant sur la mer et la maison exceptionnelle, en forma de raie Manta (d'où le nom de Mantaray). On a tout apprécié, mais un service de petit déjeuner pourrait être un plus.
- Najma (10/5): Perfect stay with the most amazing hosts - This property was phenomenal, great location close enough to General Luna, but still distant enough for peace and quiet.
The property had excellent Wi-Fi for my workation and the owners (Elvira and Joseph) were some of the warmest, kindest people I’ve ever met. They went above and beyond with thoughtful recommendations, even arranging an in-house massage, and I truly felt like I was staying with family.
I can’t recommend this place enough and will absolutely be returning. Thank you Elvira and Joseph for a stay in Siargao that exceeded my expectations.
- JULIEN (10/5): Fabuleux - Le Mantaray était fabuleux. Joseph et Elvira ont été très accueillants et bienveillants. Joseph nous a partagé ses meilleurs endroits pour manger, ses excursions préférées. Nos échanges étaient très sympathiques.
Les chambres sont juste incroyables! Tout est parfait dans les moindre détails ! Si nous revenons à Siargao, nous retournerions avec le plus grand plaisir au Mantaray. Un
- Kiki (10/5): Een oase van rust. - Mantaray is een geweldige plek aan de rand van Siargao. Een schitterend huis met heel er leuke en lieve eigenaren die heel gastvrij en behulpzaam zijn. Wij hebben het er heerlijk gevonden. Een dikke aanrader.
- Alice (10/5): The perfect Siargao getaway - Joseph and Elvira are the loveliest hosts ever. Everything we needed they had and the space was impeccable. The room was so clean and aesthetic and we felt right at home. We were also able to rent a scooter right on site for 450 pesos! Super convenient and perfect. You have to stay here There are absolutely no complaints
- Kent (9/5): Superb -
- Sul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mj (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything in this lovely place! Ate Elvira and Joseph were the best host of all the places we've been to across the world. They went above and beyond to our questions and treated us like a family! Thank you very much for making our stay in Siargao so memorable, oh yes the upgrade too ;) Absolutely will recommend this to family and friends!
- Ronald (9/5): Beautiful place in peaceful location - Very spacious room, not a hotel but more private room in a stunning villa. There is no breakfast served, but there are plenty options in town.
- Rohan (10/5): Perfect - Everything exceeded our expectations, the house is stunning and so beautifully designed. Elvira and Jo the hosts were so lovely and went well above and beyond to make our stay special. The place is even more amazing than the pictures, the location is perfect and we couldn't rate the whole experience more highly. If you can get a booking you should 100% stay at Mantaray Nothing!
- Fabian (10/5): Amazing - We loved every minute at the Mantaray in Siargao. Beautiful house, lush garden with lots of trees and flowers, quiet because its away from the main road, staff was super friendly and did the work around the house quietly to perfection. Elvira is a lovley host, always ready to help and to chat if you want to but not too pushy.
Rooms are spacious, with a fridge and a wardrob, amazing bathroom and free coffee you can make yourself in the french press(was my life saver).
Amazing stay, would never go anywhere else in Siargao. The only thing to improve in my opinion would be breakfast option. Doesnt need to be big varaity but would be great in case you want to spend the day at the house without leaving.
- Jasmin (10/5): Our favourite place to stay in the Philippines - A 5* stay! Elvira and Joseph are absolutely fabulous hosts. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the little touches of fresh coconuts, mango, candle burning on arrival really made our stay feel special.
Their recommendations for local restaurants are all great, and this was some of the best food we had during our whole stay in the Philippines.
We’re also incredibly grateful that Joseph spent his afternoon helping us get to various medical centres after my partner had a surfing accident, both he and Elvira were so generous and hospitable. The surfing itself was great fun and again a great recommendation as they helped us book the lesson.
The rooms itself are beautiful, and with only 3 rooms at the property you often feel like you have the pool and beach front to yourself.
Don’t be put off by needing to get a tuk tuk to the centre of town (although you can also walk we did this a couple of times) - this is so cheap and they’re so frequent it isn’t an inconvenience; if anything you have the benefit of being more secluded from the noise and nightlife. Would be great to have had a closer breakfast option but really not an issue.
- Shaun (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location. Very welcoming and accommodating owners. They really go above and beyond to ensure you have an awesome stay. They booked a private island tour for us which was an amazing experience. We will certainly be returning.
- Angelina (10/5): It was a fantastic experience and I will recommend this place to my friends. -
- Anil (10/5): It feels like staying in a beautifully designed home, welcomed by an exceptional host. - Before arriving at Mantaray, we saw countless glowing reviews and were eager to see what made this place so special. The moment we arrived, it all became clear. Elvira warmly welcomed us into her beautifully maintained villa, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable stay.
The villa features three elegantly designed guest rooms, each thoughtfully decorated with a refined touch—the bathrooms, in particular, are stunning. The lounge area, poolside, and beachfront exude serenity and comfort, making it the ideal escape.
Elvira and her team go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels at home. She is always available, ready to assist with anything you need, and offers fantastic recommendations to explore the island. A special thank you to Marge, who greeted us with a warm smile at the airport and made our transfers seamless—her kindness truly stood out.
We absolutely loved our stay and couldn't have made a better choice. We would definitely love to visit Siargao and Mantaray again in the future! Simply nothing, truly beyond words.
- Francois (10/5): A little gem in this paradisiac island with Elvira, a fantastic host, always available to share with you information and - Clean, location and the great host, Elvira Nothing
- Cedric (10/5): Exceptional -
- Grace (10/5): The place to stay in Siargao! - This place is amazing!! I didn't want to leave. Host Elvira is such a wonderful person, greeted us upon arrival and was there to send us off as well. Gave us a tour of the house, welcomed us with cold coconut juice. Her home is so beautifully decorated, well curated decor items. There are only 3 rooms for rent in her house so book it when it's available. My room was very comfortable and spacious. Highlight is the outdoor shower! There is a water dispenser so just bring your water bottle. There's a French press and coffee provided as well so you can chill at the outdoor lounge. Plenty of good recommendations for meals! And the in room massage was incredible! Elvira will help arrange for anything you need. Thank you Elvira for brilliant hospitality and warmth. Nothing!
- Charlotte (10/5): Serenity by the beach! Luxury with the most accommodating hosts! - Everything. It was absolute serenity, overlooking the beach with the most gorgeous view. The bedroom is so so big and super comfy. The interior of this villa is beautiful and feels like a real treat staying here. The Hosts Joseph and Elvira were so so accommodating, they even leant us cash in the meantime when the cash machines were all down. They provided us with recommendations and were always there to help + chat to. They were the loveliest hosts we've ever stayed with and would come back 100% and would recommended to anyone thinking of staying here. Feels like absolute luxury!! + super close to town! Nothing - couldn't have been more perfect!
- Sarah (10/5): Magic in Siargao - Mantaray is an amazing find in Siargao and Joseph and Elvira set the standard for Philippine hospitality. The property is prettier than the pictures. The pool is sparkling clean as are all the facilities. The beds are comfortable with wonderful high quality bedding. All the fixtures and decorations are so thoughtful and really create a magical ambiance. The water in the open air shower is warm with great water pressure. There’s a French press with coffee, sugar and milk in the room and a mini fridge stocked with cold water.
As an older solo traveler I really appreciated staying with Joseph and Elvira, they were so kind and accommodating. They booked tours for me, arranged transportation and in room massage (they have their own massage table) gave amazing suggestions for food and things to do, and just generally were there when I needed company, going as far as going to dinner with me on night one, when I got in late, so I would feel comfortable.
If you are lucky enough to find Mantaray available, book quickly, you won’t find nicer accommodations on Siargao. There was not one thing I did not like and I was there for a week.
- Scott (10/5): Exceptional - We enjoyed our stay at Mantaray with Joseph and Elvira. Joseph kindly took me and my partner surfing a couple of times during our stay and we had a fantastic time. He helped us with scooter rental and this allowed us to do a bit of exploring of Siargao. We were recommended lots of lovely cafes and restaurants that were very close and easy to get to. Our room was lovely and the setting is beautiful. This was our favourite place in the Philippines and we would love to come back. Nothing, we had a great time.
- Sven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alicia (10/5): Living in a dream! - Where to start! This place makes you feel like you’re in a dream yet you wake up every morning and realize it is your reality. Stunning home with every detail perfected. Very comfortable and close to the attractions. Elvira and Joseph are wonderful people and hosts. They helped us plan and book tours and recommended good places to eat. Thank you again for an unforgettable stay in Siargao. Nothing!!
- Zach (10/5): Very magical place - This place is truly unforgettable.
Alvira and Joseph are the kindest, most hospitable hosts I’ve encountered in a long time.
The quality of the facilities is outstanding, and I loved every second of my stay here.
I wish i could give more stars. Nothing! all was perfect!
- Dianne (10/5): A lovely stay in a beautiful building. - The property was fabulous. Lots of special touches. Beautifully designed so that you felt you had a private place all to yourself complete with comfy sofa, hammock and table with chairs.
Joseph, Elvira and Little Lala were perfect hosts always helpful but still maintaining our privacy.
They even got up and saw us off at 4:30am!
Dressing gowns, beach towels, umbrellas, and even rain capes provided without asking.
A cold water dispenser and fridge were most appreciated.
We wish them all the very best! Nothing at all
- Bethany (10/5): Luxurious and Peaceful Mantaray Stay - Loved our stay at Mantaray, it was so peaceful and relaxing. It was out of the way that it felt secluded and surrounded by nature but only a short walk to cafes, restaurants and shops in general luna. Our room was immaculate, the staff were so kind and attentive. We had water and lovely fresh coffee to enjoy on the terrace in the mornings. View of the sea and comfy seats to chill and watch the sunset. Joseph and Elvira were so kind and helpful they really made this stay so enjoyable. Easy renting moped from the villa which made our trip stress free. Beautiful outdoor showers!!! Fav part about the room. Beds were comfy and spacious. Attention to detail like robes just made this stay feel luxurious! If we were to return to general luna we would love to come back to Mantaray! Nothing!! Honestly the best 5 days in Siargao!
- Arta (10/5): We arrived at Mantaray Siargao as guests and left as friends. - We absolutely loved our stay at Mantaray Siargao! Our room and entire property was very beautiful and well maintained. Room was cleaned every day and when we came home in the evening, every time there would be dimmed lights left what felt very welcoming. Joseph and Elvira were very friendly and gave us all sorts of suggestions on what to see and do. We are especially thankful for organizing us the private boat ride to Mam-on island and the encouragement to go surfing together. We cannot wait to go back!! There is nothing we didn’t like.
- Ella (10/5): Exceptional - A must stay if visiting Siargao! From the moment we arrived at Mantaray, we were greeted by the wonderful Joseph and Elvi who made us feel incredibly welcome and at ease.
The vibe of the place is effortlessly relaxing, with every corner thoughtfully designed to create a calm, serene atmosphere. The interior design is beautifully curated with such attention to detail.
Each space feels both luxurious and comfortable, blending modern elegance with cozy charm. It's clear that the hosts have poured so much love into making this space perfect. Every little detail, from the soft linens to the stunning ocean views.
If you're looking for a place that blends style, comfort, and tranquility, look no further—Mantaray is absolute perfection. Can’t wait to return! Thank you for a beautiful stay!
- Arlyn (10/5): Our home away from home in the heart of Siargao. - Easily one of the best accommodations we have ever been to. Nice, clean and quiet place not too far from tourism road (the heart of the city). The Malinao beach (commonly known as Secret beach) is only 10-15mins from the property by tuktuk. We went kayaking during the day and came back for the firefly-watching in the evening.
The owners/hosts (Joseph and Elvira) and the staff (shout out to Sham) were super friendly and helpful. They went extra mile to accommodate our requests and helped us book our island tour. They looked after us really well. We were treated almost like family extension not just guests and that homey vibe made our stay extra special. Nothing really.
- Kelly (10/5): This is a gem. A very special and high-end property in a beautiful setting. Thank you Mantaray! We will be back. - We spent 30 days in the Philippines, and this was by far our favorite place to stay. The location, the landscaping/grounds, the view, the room with all of it beautiful and unique touches were exceptional. The hosts Joseph and Elvira were amazing — super helpful with renting, scooters, tips for restaurants, arranging a masseuse to come to the property, setting up a private island hopping experience, and a surfing trip—you name it! The cold coconut water upon arrival, umbrellas, rain ponchos, flowers in the spa-like bathroom, the most luxurious bed and linens … I could go on and on. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Mariusz (10/5): Exceptional - I had the pleasure of staying at Mantaray, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Amazing accommodations & great service made my stay memorable. The villa’s perfect location made exploring the island so easy and I can’t wait to return! The owners are fantastic people always smiling and ready to help. I highly recommend this place :)
- Marjorie (10/5): Heaven on earth ❤️❤️❤️ - We recently had the most amazing stay at Mantaray Siargao Villa and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment we arrived, Joseph and Elvira made us feel right at home. The accommodations were not only clean and comfortable but also beautifully designed, perfectly capturing the island vibe.
The location is unbeatable—very quiet and peacful but close enough to everything.
What truly stood out for me was Joseph and Elvira’s attention to detail and their genuine dedication to making our stay as enjoyable as possible. Their hospitality was above and beyond.
I highly recommend Mantaray Siargao Villa to anyone visiting the island. It’s an incredible place that we are already looking forward to revisiting! Nothing. Everything was so PERFECT 😍
- Jade (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alejandro (10/5): Perfect -
- Thuy (10/5): Beautiful property and great hosts - Mantaray is an impressive house with comfortable rooms, beautiful garden and water views. It is a short ride into town for breakfast and excursions. The hosts, Joseph, Elvira and Lala are genuinely hospitable and went out of their way to help us with things like car hire. Nothing really.
- Elin (10/5): Exceptional - Very cosy, familiar and clean! The hosts are super nice and made us feel at home. Got great help with keeping the mosquitoes away and they were always close if we had questions or wanted recommendations. It was also possible to rent mopeds through the hosts. Overall a great stay, didn’t want to leave. We liked everything!
