This was a beautiful corner of paradise, a credit to the owner. What a lovely surprise, hidden behind a rusty gate on a dusty track. Set in lovely gardens with views over the sea from the cliff side, it's fabulous. A series of steps takes you straight down to the sea and your very own section of coral reef to swim and snorkel. The rooms were lovely with a comfortable bed and a beautiful outside bathroom. The service here was the best we encountered anywhere in the Philippines. The staff really could not do enough for you. We stayed here for 3 days of pampering, rest and relaxation. The only downside here was that you are not very close to a town and restaurants. It is possible to hire a scooter here at a reasonable cost if you want to explore. We found the nearby roads to be quite challenging and therefore did not do as much exploring as we would have liked. Fortunately the food here was good, with a choice of three different starters, desserts and main courses each evening and a good choice of wine.

This hotel may be slightly expensive, in terms of cost of stay and dining, compaired to other hotels. But must say, that I think it was worth all the money. Stayed in a fantastic cottage, with a sea view, lovely large rooms. The cleaning was very thorough. Internet works fine. The food was so good, that we ended up eating at the hotel every day. The menu consists of 2 starters (about 200 pesos) 3 main courses (about 500 pesos) and 2 desserts (about 200 pesos) to choose from. Was out diving / snorkeling with them, service was great, and the equipment was in order. The staff is very friendly, and well mannered. Lived there when the corona virus erupted, and the owners helped us a lot, in finding information about our return trip, would like to thank them many times. Is very isolated, so if you want to go out every day, it can be a bit of a problem, for us it was nice, because we loved the tranquility and peace.

Perfect place to chill and relax for a number of days. Unique, stunning view - if you are lucky like us you see a family of dolphins pass by- nice, well designed and maintained bungalows. Great food, with several Swiss specialties, pair it with a wine and you can enjoy the sunset and have a stress free time. The Swiss couple running it are very helpful and the stuff are impeccable. Diving and snorkel gear available, and the cliff is just in front of the resort.

First of all wonderful staff. Very nice, flexible and accommodating. An asset to the resort. We rented a the Luxe Villa. All cabins are very roomy and have "outdoor" bathroom which is a nice touch. Restaurant is great and don't hesitate to ask for specials if you want. There is no beach. But a long stairs down the cliff. Going up requires some decent physical condition. Swimming pool is nice. Not too big but adequate for the size of the place. Our cabin could use a mattress update. Feels worn. The other advice I can give new guests is too fill in the pre-check-in form ahead of time. If not, you have to go through a rather tedious effort on your phone to check-in online. Some people may find this hard to do but staff insists it is "the way". Maybe the manager can review the process for older people not that privy with their mobiles if at all available.

The pictures cannot do this resort justice. The personnel were all fabulous. The fresh daily menu always had plenty to offer, we both gained weight. Our villa was outstanding, very comfortable. We basked in the Sun, played in the awesome pool that has shelfs down to a diving depth, lovely temperature. The stairway down the cliff to diving opportunities was brilliantly planned and executed. I had two two-hour massages, Vern had one two hour massage. The prices are extremely reasonable and satisfying. Kudos to both Charlita M and Ceniza O for their skills. The owners are devoted to the place and it clearly shows in the result. They assisted with getting us to a bank, and also with our ferry tickets moving us over to Bohol island. We highly recommend this lovely holiday resort, almost unnoticeable from the road. One level arrangements so no balconies. Wi-Fi was good, no actual live TV but lots of apps from which to obtain programming.

We stayed 4 nights at the Kawayan hotel, what a pleasure to stay in a little paradise like this We had a magnificent room which overlooks the cliff with a view of the sea.. the hotel has a restaurant, very good in fact.. the access is a little long but the view is great!! The staff is very attentive, the shuttle to get to the port is a little expensive compared to other places in the Philippines.. we really recommend this place!!

Your staff is so friendly, reserved, attentive and very helpful. Every wish is fulfilled with joy and a smile. The location above the sea and the sunsets are indescribable. The pool is large and clean with a nice location close to the bar/lounge. The food (morning, noon, evening) is extremely varied and always delicious. (fresh and not from the cooler) The prices are very, very fair with an excellent price/performance ratio. Thank you Barbara for this great stay! Please put my Red Horse in the fridge.

Wow what a fantastic resort. The first thing I noticed on arrival was the silence and tranquility. The staff were lovely and always smiling. The ocean villas were spectacular and there are only 4. The owner was lovely and spoke with us many times over a glass of wine or two. Great wine selection. We loved this place so much we booked another night. It’s a little out the way but that’s what this place has going for it, the food is fresh and cooked perfectly. We loved the turquoise clear water to snorkel on the house reef it really was a special place. Unsure why anyone would say any different unless they hadn’t actually stayed here. We will definitely be returning

My wife and I spent a few days of our honeymoon here and we wish that we had planned to stay longer. The environment, food, service, and amenities were outstanding. We got lucky and pretty much had the place to ourselves, which was awesome. Major points to the kitchen staff as we couldn't believe how great the meals were. Also, the exclusive snorkeling/diving available right out front is all-time. Siquijor is a great island with lots to see and experience. If we make it back, we will definitely be staying here again. My only recommendation is that they provide better Signage from the main streets because it was difficult to find, especially at night, but downloading google maps ahead of time will be your best bet if you're driving yourself to the resort.

We spend 5 wunderful days in kawayan Holliday. We enden up in the hotel due to some unforseen changes in our planning. From the first minute in the resort we felt really good taken care of. Very sweet staff that is helpful and takes the time to do everything the right way. No stress and no pressure in whatever is needed. Our children enjoy it a lot, and could spend all day in the pool. The rooms are very luxury. All is clean and functional. The house reef is still in good shape. Good snorkel and excellent diving.
The resort is slightly of the main road, but all the way worth is. All the best to the staff from us, from Denmark.
