Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Located in the fringes and quiet area of Tourism Road, the resort’s main gate is partly hidden and not precisely on the main road. Once you enter, you are greeted with a charming reception area revealing a pool at the very end of the walkway. The cozy resort has only a few rooms, which makes it very intimate.
We spent a reasonable amount of time at the pool and dining area on our first and last days, and we had the place to ourselves for the most part.
The standard rooms were comfortable, although some amenities needed to be added, like a luggage rack or at least some drawers to keep clothes (in the absence of a stand). Other than that, the room was sufficient.
The kitchen serves a few breakfast selections (all good) and only a few dinner selections (we ate out during our entire stay). Bars and restaurants on Tourism Road (some close to the resort, some a tricycle ride away) were plenty and were great caps to our day.
The best thing about the resort is its ever-so-helpful staff.

The staff were lovely, friendly especially the ladies on reception. HOWEVER this was overshadowed by the fact that the owner of this hotel was hosting a party of people (who I can only assume were his family) who came on day 2 of my 5 day stay, they were there for the rest of my stay sadly. I counted 17 of them. This hotel is extremely small so they literally overtook the place. The pool/chill area in this hotel is very small and they took over the whole pool and did not make me feel welcome at all. I noted as one girl who had been in the pool for a while got out shortly after this party of people got in the pool. She clearly felt uncomfortable!! One morning I woke up to go have breakfast only to find this unwelcome party of people spread out on every single table!!! I was so shocked. No room for anyone else. If they were a friendly bunch I would not have minded but they were not. When I smiled at them, they would literally just stare.I almost felt like I was imposing in their home. It forced me to be out of the hotel as much as I possibly could just to avoid them. Extremely rude, arrogant and entitled people! I will add that the owner is lovely and welcoming…he should show his guests how to be the same!

Response from Munimuni Villas Siargao, General Manager at Munimuni Villas Siargao
Responded Jun 30, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found our staff, especially the ladies at reception, lovely and friendly. It is always our goal to provide exceptional service, and we are glad to know that you appreciated our team's efforts. However, it is unfortunate to learn that certain aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We understand how important a relaxing and comfortable environment is for our guests, and we regret that you felt this was compromised. We would like to address your concerns in detail: The group you mentioned were paying guests. Like all our guests, they had the right to enjoy the hotel's facilities and we want to clarify that there was no party hosted by the owner or any other guest during your stay. We have carefully reviewed the CCTV footage from the breakfast service and the pool area on multiple dates during your stay. We did not observe the incidents you described. Specifically, we did not see any behaviour that would suggest the group was unfriendly or took over the entire space in a way that excluded other guests. Our breakfast service operates on a first-come, first-served basis, similar to other resorts. This means that guests who arrive later may need to wait for a table. We understand this can be inconvenient, but it ensures fairness and efficiency in serving all our guests. Concerning the incident at the pool, the CCTV footage showed that the girl you mentioned was enjoying her time reading a Kindle. When the group arrived, she did not leave the pool area as you suggested and stayed quite a while continuing to read. She later moved to a sun chair and continued to relax while the group was swimming. This indicates that she did not feel uncomfortable or pressured to leave. We wish you had informed us of your concerns during your stay. Our team is always ready to address any issues immediately to ensure our guests have a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, now that your stay is over, it is challenging to resolve these issues to your satisfaction. Addressing concerns in real-time allows us to make necessary adjustments and improvements. We understand that having a large group present can impact the experience, especially in a smaller hotel. However, all our guests, regardless of the size of their party, have equal rights to enjoy the facilities. We appreciate your comments and take them seriously as they help us improve our services. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a more enjoyable experience. Thank you for your understanding and for sharing your thoughts with us.

Stepping into Muni Muni Villas, right in the heart of General Luna, feels like finding a secret spot that's both laid-back and stylish. This place isn't right on the main drag, which is great because it gives off a more secluded, personal vibe.
What really grabs you about this place is the look and feel. It's like every corner has its own story, with cool art and design touches that make it stand out. The rooms are snug and comfy (that does not mean small, though!), although they could do with a luggage rack.
But let me tell you, the standout feature here is the staff. These folks are amazing – always there to help, super friendly, and make you feel totally at home. They go the extra mile to ensure your stay is nothing short of awesome.
While the villa has a pretty neat selection of food from all over the world, the chill atmosphere and the team’s top-notch service make it a real winner. Whether you're lounging by the pool, grabbing a bite in the dining area, or hitting up the local spots on Tourism Road, Muni Muni Villas has got the perfect mix of relaxation and cool vibes.
It's an ideal spot for couples or anyone looking to escape the usual tourist traps. Muni Muni Villas isn’t just a place to crash – it's a whole experience, blending great design, comfort, and the friendliest staff you could ask for.
