Siquijor is wonderful - highly recommend. We arrived at Gabayan Riviera late at night, so it was a lovely surprise to wake up to such a beautiful view of the pool and the sea. The room was clean, staff are really friendly and helpful. We hired a mini-jeep/van for two days via the hotel, to take us around the island. The location of the hotel is quite far away from the main bit where all the restaurants and bars are, which we didn't mind too much. The hotel has a restaurant with decent food options. Lovely breakfast view. The pool was clean and we really enjoyed relaxing here at the end of the day.

The staff at the restaurant could've been more attentive / friendly but that's minor. Fresh mango juice/shake for breakfast preferred instead of powdered juice, but you can't ask for too much being on a tiny island!

The Receptionist made the stay. She was helpful and went out of her way to accommodate. Burger was delicious and big. The Resort was nice except for the items mentioned in "what I didn't like".

Has backup generator but not capable of running A/C. Flood light being turned on at nightfall and directed into rooms. I would have enjoyed sitting on the porch and seeing the stars before retiring for the evening instead of being bombarded with blinding light. I understand lighting needs but light only what is needed. A comfortable small couch and coffee table on the porch were the finishing touches that were missing. Breakfast was under cooked. Coffee was weak and not brewed. Coffee maker in each room advertised but charges extra ₱70 per k-cups. Really?

My stay at Gabayan Riviera was, for the most part, very pleasant. The accommodations were absolutely spotless, and the rooms were well-equipped with everything one might need. The staff was always smiling, helpful, and highly professional. A major plus was the pool, which was great and we had a lot of fun there.

Unfortunately, we did encounter a couple of minor issues. During our stay, it happened that some ingredients were often missing from the kitchen, which slightly limited the food options. I was also disappointed with the juices, which were made from powder and were not very tasty.

The Gabayan Riviera is paradise Although checked in is not easy because we arrived in the property at 1am and we totally understand that. In the morning we woke up 7am and we found freshly baked homemade bread hanging on our door 😊 its really good taste plus the breath taking ocean view from our room. Also have infinity pool facing the ocean 😍 Place is fantastic and very peaceful, if you need a quiet place to stay in siquijor the gabayan Riviera is the place for you. Manager Bill was very friendly and accommodating. Dina the staff is very friendly, accommodating and always ready to help us. We had booked the room for 2 nights only but end up of 5 nights stay. We will definitely stay here again if we come back in siquijor. Highly recommended to those who wanted to come to siquijor Ps: food in the restaurant is great, banana bread is so yummy 😍 brewed coffee is very good. Must try when you stay in Gabayan

everything! what a place. built with a perfect lat out. we had the 3 bedroom bungalow with own pool and was just amazing! the wifi was as super strong! tv with international channels, netflix, amazon etc. the breakfast was next level and they bake there own bread which was so good! the food at every meal was great. the staff were so helpful & friendly with catering for all our needs. we will 100 percent be back

nothing it was all excellent

The room was huge and clean, the pool was lovely and I swam off from the dock and saw sea turtles which was amazing. We got it on a last minute deal so it was very good value. We hired scooters which was really straightforward and the staff were all amazing.

They are having a few generator issues so lots of black outs, wasn't a problem for us as only there a night, the owner was clearly trying to sort it, also to be expected in a more remote location. The restaurant had also ran out of a few options when we ate there. Again not a problem for us and to be expected in more remote locations.

- Staff was friendly - quiet hotel - pool was nice and clean - every morning we got a basket with freshmade bread

- when eating dinner there, most of the dishes were out of stock.. since there is nowhere to eat nearby, it's not so beneficial - booked a "villa" and thought it would be fine for 5 persons. Sure, I didn't see the "1x double bed" but still - why should they allow 5 people in this "villa" when they only have one bed? They came with 6 thin matress for us for the floor... It was okay in the end with the price as well but still they shouldn't offer that. - a bit far from trouble, but if someone likes it, that would be a perfect match ;) - ants in the bathroom

Really high quality room with great facilities inside the room. Friendly staff and great food in the restaurant . Amazing views and location.

Only 2 towels in the room and the towels were small and thin. We didn't sleep much the 3rd night due to a party that went on for a corporate event. We wouldn't have minded much but it was right next door to us and the speaker system was so loud it could have entertained 10,000 people not the 40 or less people that were there for the corporate event. The owner was very apologetic about it though which I do appreciate but still the party went on quite late and we couldn't sleep well. More shaded areas needed around the pool, it was hard to enjoy in the day time with the heat from the sun. Also the internet was really bad on the last day I wonder if that was due to the other rooms being booked out and everyone using the internet at the same time. Maybe look into an upgrade for that?

Quiet property in a fantastic location to scooter about the waterfalls. It’s a little out of the way and not many restaurants near by but we liked how secluded it was. A scooter or vehicle of some sort is essential when staying here. You can hire them from the front desk. There are only a handful of rooms so the grounds were super quiet. We actually had the best sleeps we’ve had in a long time! Room was spacious and modern. Aircon worked great and was silent. Wi-Fi was one of the best we’ve had in the Philippines. The restaurant was fantastic and served very yummy fresh food. The best thing about this place is the staff. They really go above and beyond to help and make you feel right at home. We loved the fresh buns delivered to our room each morning - such a lovely touch! Great laundry service and one of the staff even offered to sew a button onto a shirt of mine that had fallen off (I didn’t catch her name but thank you!)

The blinds in the room were not ideal as they let a lot of light in and kept getting jammed in the rail. Some curtains would be much more effective. The pool was a little dirty.
