Estefania Homestay

The veranda was great.

Water pressure non existent in bathroom water was slimy and not up to standard

Great breakfast, friendly attentive staff, especially Jade who was lovely. Good wifi and clean room with nice terrace to sit outside

No water facilities in the room in the morning. Although we enjoyed the area it wasn't a tourist area.

Like: free transfer from the airport to the accommodation, good breakfast and friendly staff. Dislike: Weak WiFi connection, electricity may fall in the morning. The staff knocks the door early morning to get breakfast which is inappropriate for guests who want to rest. The location is really far from the main attractions in Siargao. It is over one hour away from General Luna by motorbike. There is nothing in Santa Monica such as restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies or even an ATM. We paid 400 pesos to Alegria to withdraw money since the Philippines is a cashless country. The motorbike rental is 300 pesos per day just beside the accommodation.

Rooms are very clean and they have a catering business on the same terrain. The food they serve has been the best food of our whole trip. They don't have a menu but you should just ask for food you like. For example: chicken, fish, vegetables and then they make the best dishes! The people running it are also incredibly kind, their English is nog great but communicating was not a problem. Not much to do in the village but there is great surfing spot nearby, secret paradise beach.

Unless you are surfing, there is not much to do in area except for going to the beach or a small waterfall.

The family running the place is lovely. You can tell that they really care about their guest! Rooms, common area and balcony are very clean and spacious! Breakfast is really nice, like a small buffet. Free water for guests.

It says that there is a kitchen for the guests to use but there really isn’t. There is a kitchen but with no stove, fridge or utensils. Only mugs you can use you tea or coffe. But you can get great food from their restaurant.

The rooms are large and very clean, the communal area is spacious with a comfortable outdoors area. The breakfast and dinner provided are very tasty, I especially enjoyed the freshly caught fish. If you have any meal requests they will cater to you. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, I felt at home from the first night. It has a very relaxed friendly atmosphere. The town it's in is very peaceful with a very friendly locals. The homestay is easily one of the best places I've stayed whilst travelling. Will definitely come back to visit again
