Guest Reviews

• Ma. Niesan (10/5): - Everything! Amazing place! None
• Dylan (10/5): - Alles was perfect
• Emerita (10/5): We enjoyed our stay at Salamanca hotel our room is very spacious for 4 persons, the beach has best - Good breakfast poach egg perfect. Location is quiet and beach location is good. The hotel food is little expensive but good quality.m
• Julia (7/5): The resort is relaxing and the staff were very nice - The resort is quiet and peaceful It is very far from the center, like 30 mins away. there’s no restaurant and shops around, so hard when you get hungry at night. also a little bit hard going in the hotel, you need to go through houses and very dark at night and lots of trees and vacant lots before you reach the hotel.
• Gwen (8/5): Keurig verblijf, ligt wat verder weg - Het resort ziet er prachtig uit, kamers zijn ruim en zeer netjes De ligging en vooral de weg ernaar toe is minder fraai Het personeel is wel vriendelijk maar niet professioneel, daar zou meer in geïnvesteerd kunnen worden om deze mensen goed op te leiden
• Robert (8/5): -
• Nicole (10/5): Wir kommen wieder! - Sehr gut: direkt am Meer, ruhig, gediegen, sehr freundliches Personal, Preis/Leistung ausgezeichnet
• Lily (7/5): - Big room. Need fan to cool the room. Staff are nice. The food in resto, the location is not by the main road.
• raphael (9/5): -
• Luis Abraham (9/5): MUY BUENA OPCIÓN - Las habitaciones muy buenas y limpias. Muy accesible. El aire acondicionado funcionaba muy bien y era muy accesible a todos los puntos principales de la isla. Se podía tender fuera de la habitación y la piscina era excelente. El gimnasio estaba muy bien también. Muy recomendable. Pedimos una tortilla (omelette) por la noche pero nos dijeron que no era posible, a cambio si era posible unos huevos revueltos (scrumbled eggs) cosa que no entendimos muy bien. El menú de la cena un poco escaso.
• faretti (9/5): - Dommage pour le prix de la chambre qu’il n’y ai pas un petit déjeuné compris ! Les prix sont un peu excessif
• Julie (7/5): -
• Arlene (10/5): -
• James (10/5): - Fantastic hotel, highly recommend
• Dorian (9/5): -
• Tracey (8/5): - Beautiful resort with very laid back vibe. Great pool and we loved happy hour cocktails. Nothing really except you couldn't really swim off the beach without shoes due to sea urchins.
• Eric (10/5): -
• Antonio (8/5): I would stay again. - A couples location. Very quiet, a great place to unwind. The food was good, but could use more variety.
• Klaus (9/5): Eine wunderschöne Anlage mit Verbesserungspotential im Essensbereich - Super tolle Apartments, besonders die etwas kleineren um den Pool herum. Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Alles sehr Sauber. Sehr bequeme Betten. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Noch besser wurde unser Aufenthalt durch das mieten eines Scooter für ca. 7 Euro am Tag. Dadurch ist man gerade beim Abendessen etwas flexibeler, obwohl die Auswahl der Speisen im Hauseigenen Restaurants sehr reichhaltig ist. Es ist auch ein kleiner Sandstrand vorhanden, wenn auch das schwimmen oder schnorcheln bei Ebbe schwierig ist, weil man übers Riffdach, das mit Seeigel gespickt ist laufen muss. Wasserschuhe mit einer dicken Sohle ist ein absolutes Muss. Es gibt auch eine top ausgestattete Extradiver Tauchbasis mit einem sehr netten französischen Basisleiter. Ein Nachteil ist, dass nur ein kleines Tauchboot vorhanden ist,in das maximal 6 Tauchgäste passen. Wenn mehrere Gruppen da sind, die tauchen wollen, kann es sein, dass man keinen Platz bekommt. Was sehr schade an diesem wunderschönen Resort ist, dass der Essensbereich eher ungemütlich, und ohne Charme ist. Er gleicht eher einer Fabrik Kantine. Die Ventilatoren waren so laut, dass man meinte das ein Flugzeug darüber kreist. Mehrere, leisere Ventilatoren würden an dieser Stelle helfen. Ein paar Raumteiler mit Pflanzen würden den Essbereich gemütlicher und einladender erscheinen lassen und die Lautstärke dämmen, und währen keine teure Investition. Wir haben uns das Frühstück an unser Pool Apartment bringen lassen. Da herrschte Ruhe.
• Jessica (7/5): Beautiful hotel but service at the restaurant too slow - Great pool , beautiful rooms Service at the restaurant was too slow (more than one hour waiting time), food was ok but not great , we were given room with no sea view although we booked one with a sea view .
• Mia (10/5): Heaven on earth - Wow! Heaven on earth. Beautiful resort, very helpful staff, beautiful reef to snorkel (in high tide) with a bunch of sea turtles arriving every afternoon. Great pool. Good diving club with new equipment for rent and very helpful staff. Great restaurant. Very big amazing room. Motorcycles for rent. A special shaded jogging course (400 m long). Nothing. It was perfect. The only thing that one should notice is that dinning solely in the resort might be expensive
• Sophie (10/5): Exceptionnelle - Wow wow wow !!!! Cet hôtel , c’est le paradis !!!! Tout est magnifique , bien entretenu et les chambres sont immense ! J’ai eu un soucis qui n’a rien à voir avec l’hôtel et ceux-ci m’ont aidé avec une gentillesse désarmante . Je n’en revenais pas d’une si belle attention . J’ai vraiment apprécié ! Je recommende à 100%
• Fredrick Gulbrandsen (10/5): -
• Firdaouss (10/5): - Tout. C’était un super séjour. Le personnel est adorable. Les couchers de soleil
• Malika (10/5): Une expérience unique à Siquijor - Tout! L’accueil, le personnel aux petits soins, les équipements. La vue! La piscine incroyable avec un bar intégré dans l’eau pour rester au frais. RAS
• NATHALIE (8/5): Séjour agréable. - La disponibilité du personnel, l’environnement, piscine agréable et plage sauvage, authentique. L’organisation du service restaurant, un peu long. Les clients d’une même table ne sont pas servis en même temps.
• Ronan (7/5): It’s nice - Lovely pool Too far from everywhere, it’s remote !
• Clermont (10/5): Excellent séjour - C'était parfait, emplacement extraordinaire, face à la mer et la piscine, le personnel est très à l'écoute de ses clients. Un endroit qu'on a du mal à quitter !!! Tout était très bien, si je devais faire une remarque, lors d'un repas, amener les plats en même temps
• Yves (9/5): -
• Cedric (9/5): - Chambre hyper confortable lit kig size top, bien équipé, piscine super ! Bar dans la piscine très appréciable. Personnel très gentil, souriant et serviable. Rapport qualité prix super bon. Possibilité de louer scooter auprès de l’hôtel. Quelques désagréments au niveau de notre lessive qui a réduit et taché 2 de nos vêtements, petit geste commercial de leur part tout de même. Le Touk Touk du retour commandé par l’hôtel nous a coûter le double du prix qu’à l’aller. L’hôtel est à 20min du centre.
• Naomi (10/5): -
• ROMUALDAS (5/5): -
• Fatima (8/5): Great base for exploring and great quality price ratio - The resort is beautifully designed and in a beautiful setting with gorgeous sunsets. The large bay windows with that glass where no one can see inside are very much appreciated. The swimming pool is good. The staff is nice and helpful. - food was uneven through breakfast and dinners: sometimes good sometimes not so much - in the spa / gym I had the noise of the running machines during a mani pedi and neither I nor the manucurist had proper sitting or light (had to use her phone light); I do not know what to think about the massages: was deep tissue and was efficient to get rid of knots but hen it left me really bruised too.
• Leyla (8/5): -
• Allan (9/5): Wonderful stay in paradise, where the staff care for you like family! - The staff go above and beyond and help you with any problem,including driving to the pharmacy to get medication for my husband! the staff are beautiful people, they all smile and make you so welcome, greeting you in the morning with the friendliest sincerest good mornings. Whe we arrived we were no prepared for the calm and relaxing vibes here, the beautiful warm pool and the beach, directly behind the pool! You can sit and watch the sunset from the relaxing chairs under the fig tree on the sand! We loved sittng in the shade of the relaxing pool bar, chatting to Wendel, Angel, Daisy and Annefeil the hotels' stand out staff for us! These guys and John manager in the restaurant, made our stay there.They looked after us like family! Esp when we could not get our ferry to catch our plane home due to the typhoon! We felt like we were leaving family when we left! Tears were shed on both sides! The only tiny niggle, we are vegan, the menu had only a couple of choices which were excellent! The kitchen staff were fantastic and again, went to a lot of trouble to give us food we could enjoy as did the morning waiting staff, making us mango shakes with coconut milk! We never usually stay in hotels but this is definitely the best hotel we have stayed in! They arrange tuk tuks for you, ask for Bo boy if you stay he is excellent ,very reasonable, and came in to watch the boxing in Lazi with us when he drove us there to watch our son's boxing club's event on Halloween! He lives on the lane to the hotel! We definitely hope to return again soon! This beautiful hotel is absolute paradise, made by the wonderful beautiful people who work there! A boxto tick if you are vegan/veggie so plant based milk/butter etc can be provided for coffee and toast at breakfast which is lovely fresh bread rolls toasted with jam. The painting in our room, (Pawikan) graphic scene of a pig with blood flowing from where its throat had been cut! You didnt need to be vegan/vegetarian to not like this on a bedroom wall!
• Swan (8/5): The sunset was next level ❤️ - Beautiful view from our room overlooking the pool & the beac. Visually stunning to look at.. We liked everything
• Laszlo (9/5): Small hidden Gem - Nice staff, dinner , room, pool Nothing
• Adam (10/5): - The staff were amazing - very friendly, helpful and made our honeymoon stay wonderful. They put together a fantastic honeymoon welcome display and another for my wife's birthday during our stay. The accommodation was very nice, spacious, had a great pool and right on the beach. We absolutely loved our visit and didn't want to leave!
• Johan (9/5): -
• Giulio (10/5): -
• Benedikt (10/5): - Super Tauchschule, super nette Mitarbeiter, sehr gute Cocktails die auch im Pool getrunken werden können, super schöne und große Zimmer und sehr leckeres Essen Leider war der Aufenthalt viel zu schnell vorbei
• Miranda (10/5): - -ontzettend mooi resort met een waanzinnige kamer met fantastisch uitzicht. Erg vriendelijk personeel! Door typhoon moesten we 2 nachten langer blijven en ze hebben ons erg goed geholpen om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Geweldig zwembad! Nou als ik dan toch 2 kleine tips mag geven; het drinken zal stuk kouder geserveerd mogen worden en ik zal het fijn vinden als er in de lobby wat fijnere relaxbanken zouden zijn, verder TOP
• David (9/5): -
• Generoso (8/5): - litter from the next room was not immediately cleaned
• Labourdette (10/5): -
• tiffany (7/5): trop cher pour ce que c’est - la chambre était très grande, la salle de bain très confortable. les gaufres du petit déjeuner étaient délicieuses. Pour le prix, beaucoup plus élevé que d’autres, je m’attendais à la perfection. Au final, cafard dans la chambre, plage qui ressemble à une déchèterie, j’ai dû râler pour qu’on puisse faire un plat de pâte pour ma fille de 2 ans et le payer à un tarif raisonnable, et comme partout les coqs chantent toute la nuit. En plus les rideaux ne sont pas opaques donc il fait jour dans la chambre. pas à la hauteur de mes attentes pour 100€ la nuit.
• Dganiyat Or-Paz (10/5): מלון מקסים לנופש מושלם - מלון יפהפה, צוות הכי מתחשב, עוזר ונחמד שפגשתי.! נאלצנו לשנות את מועד הגעתנו למלון פעמיים, עקב שינוי בתוכניות ועקב ים סוער שהוביל לביטול של מעבורת- וצוות הקבלה התחשב בנו לגמרי וטיפל בשינוי בצורה מאד אדיבה. יהחדרים יפים ונקיים, יש שם מקלחת טובה וחמה, מזגן מצויין, מקרר קטן בחדר וקומקום; הבריכה יפהפיה וגדולה ואפשר לשבת בה ולהזמין משקה בדלפק הבר שנמצא ממש בה, תוך צפייה בשקיעות הכי יפות באי. אם נחזור לסיקיהור בעתיד, בטוח שנרצה לשוב למלון זה. אהבנו הכול.
• Stephen (10/5): Woow Woow Woow….what a Gem 💎 in Siquijor! - Wow…one of the best hotels we stayed in the Philippines. Very big and comfy family room‘s. Outstanding staff and personal. We received Alu Bottles for refilling water to prevent plastic waste. The food was great and delicious. The dive shop is clean and top notch. The beach is clean and the staff take good care of it. To Highlight the staff, well trained and hosting the guests very good. My 3 kids, wife and Mum enjoyed every minute at Salamangka Resort. The street that was complained by some guests is improving and not an issue at all by walk or mobility.
• Steven (9/5): Great place to stay, but a bit inconvenient to town. - Beautiful property with access to a rocky beach and a full dive shop. It was manageable with a rented vehicle but the resort is fairly far away from the main part of San Juan.
• haw (10/5): -
• diego (10/5): -
• reuven (9/5): - The staff is the nicest, the services are excellent. Lovely view from the hotel and the rooms are excellent, especially the suites. A little far from the center of things, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage (fifteen minutes)
• Beverley (10/5): - Room staff you made my bday special Pool bar staff Even the GM was nice I seen him. Interact with his staff so nicely.. Pure leadership skills
• Irena (8/5): Good hotel but very different rooms - We traveled as a family and took different types of rooms. The large family suite is very good with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is good but not included in the price. Restaurant serves good food. Pool is amazing. Location is very good for travelers in the area but you need a ride to get to the restaurants- it's not a walking distance We could not really use the beach due to the tide Smaller rooms we took for the kids were very basic for their price and 2 rooms out of 3 had small bugs in the room. Wifi issues
• Shivani (10/5): The best week of my life with my loved ones :)) - Such a heavenly place :))
• Rosalie (10/5): -
• Emma (8/5): Schöne Anlage zum Entspannen am Pool - Das Zimmer war sehr groß und geräumig. Auch das Bett war überaus gemütlich. Die Möglichkeit direkt im Hotel ein Moped (24h) auszuleihen ist von Vorteil. Das Tauchcenter innerhalb der Anlage ist absolut empfehlenswert. Die Massagen waren angenehm. Pool war immer sauber. • Wasser in der Dusche meistens kalt • Lärm/Rauch von den Nachbarn (Krähen von Hähnen, Musik) • Strand aufgrund der „off-season“ und der damit einhergehenden Strömung nicht nutzbar (angeschwemmter Müll [Mitarbeiter nicht nachgekommen mit Aufräumen], schroffer Boden & hohe Wellen)
• David (9/5): Excellent, relaxing - Great staff, very helpful
• Tracey (9/5): Relaxing and comfortable - would recommend - Clean, comfortable, nice location, modern Bar closed before dinner
• Anthony (10/5): A wonderful, quiet, secluded, peaceful three day stay. Would have loved to stay longer. - A great place to stay, staff friendly and obliging. Will stay again, highly recomended
• Alexa (9/5): Lovely thank you! - Had Netflix in the room, dive centre is attached so it’s convenient! Rooms were lovely and big, girls in the restaurant were lovely and made a great mango shake! Already written this in my first review (stayed there twice as I was using the dive centre)
• Alexa (8/5): Lovely rooms and lovely views! Thank you - The rooms were nice and big - best dive centre in siquijor is attached to the hotel so very convenient. Mango shakes are amazing and the two girls in the restaurant were so lovely! the service was a little slow sometimes and there seemed to be clicky relationships more so in the housekeeping areas - all walking around together constantly and holding hands etc - just a little unprofessional, not that it affected my stay at all
• Mellows (9/5): Superb -
• Jason (10/5): Family friendly Mid to high-end luxury beach-front resort. Great for divers! SeaExplorers here! - Though the location is a bit far from Siquijor capital and the tourist town of San Juan, the location of this resort will appeal to those who really want to be far from the noise of the city and to really commune with nature especially for those who are eager to dive and enjoy the underwater landscape of Siquijor. The staff is very hospitable and friendly. Shoutout to them for always keeping my lovely room squeaky clean. Nice to retire after an adventure-filled day of diving to my ever comfortable luxurious suite. Brownout. The entire island is suffering from the lack of ample supply of electricity. The wifi is not also working as efficiently as I expect. You cannot do work in this resort.
• Shani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mathias (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kryzta (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (8/5): Great rooms , we would repeat. - Great Breakfast, great staff, good value. Our room was huge, very comfortable, bathroom was also huge with an awesome shower. Our room was presented as a "sea view" however we could hardly see the sea. The beach was just OK , nothing special.
• Brittney (5/5): Passable -
• Andrew (9/5): Beautiful high quality resort with amazing sunsets - Beautiful resort, high quality rooms, excellent local and international food, and amazing sunsets Nothing
• Vincent (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mabelle (6/5): Pleasant - The room is spacious and clean. Nice view from our. room fronting the pool and the sea. Location, and the resort don't offer any ride. The food is terrible and expensive.
• Ugnius (10/5): It was perfect quick stay in Siquijor, very good staff, polite, nice pool and delicious food. Perfect value booking. -
• Marcy (10/5): Beautiful Hotel in Siquijor. We want to go back! - Wow - this is a beautiful property. There is a gorgeous pool with a swim up bar and a beach just beyond. A nice gym and a spa (excellent massage). A brand new scuba shop has opened with the most amazing facilities. Ben is one of the best dive masters we’ve ever had the pleasure of diving with. Our room was comfortable and beautifully decorated. Everything worked (air conditioning, hot water, safe, outlets). Not always true in the Philippines! Food was pretty good at their restaurant, serving staff needs some better training, but they were kind. Go to Dolce Amore in San Juan - you won’t regret it! Unfortunately, the location is on a very bumpy road. Not as convenient to San Juan. Ask for Christian, a Tuk Tuk driver who lives nearby. He was amazing at getting us into town and to the ferry port at the end of the trip.
• Yves (5/5): It was good but not the best - It was always clean and quite The employees need a little more training in the restaurant
• Jocelyn (7/5): Good - Beautiful resort ,friendly staff Bit far from the the shops and restaurants
• Benjamin (9/5): Perfect if you are looking for peace and quiète ! - Beautiful and calm Hotel by the Beach. Beautiful and clean pool with pool bar opened til 10pm where you can admire beautiful sunset. Newly added dive center managed by a French man A little bit outside of San Juan area. But easily reachable via motorbike in 10min, you can rent the motorbikes directly at the hotel. Breakfast is not included and food is generally expensive for the Philippines!
• Thorsten (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the pool. Hotel is far better then most other options nearby.
• Simon (9/5): Having spent 4 days touring the island - Salamangka Resort hands down the best we visited. - The hotel was great - made even better by the team. Reception great arranging transfer from the Port. Restaurant – great food, and staff help in describing and recommended local food. Pool bar team really great – special shout out to Angel. Location down the long lane, made it not possible to walk up to any shpps, bars, restaurants. A little disappointed with the beach. Given the state of the tide, getting to the sea wasn’t easily possible, trying to get over the rocks and coral. Maybe this should be made clearer in the description.
• Christine (10/5): a dream - everything was great!
• Antonio (8/5): Very good - Comfortable rooms, all quite clean, renovated, and great swimming pool. A special thanks to Dale, who was working at the pool bar area and was quite attentive, friendly, and professional throughout our stay. The hotel neighbors kept burning something, bringing a lot of smoke to inside the hotel. At one point, somehow, the smoke got into our room, which disturbed our rest. I advise the management to acquire some air filters and purifiers to deal with these sorts of situations to keep the air quality within the rooms safe.
• Marius (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mustapha (9/5): Superb - The room is clean and confortable ! The pool is a real plus. The place is very quiet however a littlebit remote but with a scooter it was not a problem
• Mary (8/5): Gorgeous resort, great staff, just needs couple of things - Gorgeous resort, staff super friendly and helpful. Really nice pool areas with towels provided. Free water and water bottles provided. Yes this is out the way but we knew this so personally got a moped to use. Smart TV, good aircon (that didn't make us sick!), really big bathroom. So this property isn't actually just the 3 buildings advertised round the pool, we didn't realise in our booking (cheapest room - so that's on us), but we were in a building right up by reception and unfortunately the walls are sooo thin on these you can literally hear your neighbour talking, this is a shame as we thought it was a bit smaller but they've obviously made some good expansions. Only 2 thin pillows provided on the beds. The restaurant really did not live up to expectations sadly which is a shame as because the place is out of the way, it might be your only option.
• Runar (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was expensive and mediocre.
• Katrine (10/5): Wish we had stayed longer! - Everything. Stunning pool, outstanding facilities, spacious rooms, large shower, delicious food. It could be hard to find from the main road, but our driver knew where to go.
• Sascha (7/5): Good - Very nice newly renovated hotel. Very nice newly renovated hotel. Clean rooms/bungalows. Nice pool area and good offer in the restaurant. Unfortunately, swimming on the beach was not possible as the reef goes right up to the beach front. The hotel is a little far away from other leisure activities. It is recommended to rent a motorbike to explore the region.
• Jenny (7/5): Good - Rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. Staff was nice and helpful. Nice pool. There's no reason to pay extra for the waterfront rooms since they face the pool area (which can get a bit noisy) rather than the ocean. The location is a bit off and you'll want to move about here since the beach isn't good for swimming (looked rather rocky and we didn't see anyone else going in the water while there). The resort can help wtih motorbike rental. The restaurant food was a bit uncharismatic. Very slim vegetarian selection.
• Keiko (9/5): Loved the jet bath. Some bath salts would have been great - The staff were exceptional especially at the pool bar Noise on the 2F
