Hotels near Naked Island, General Luna

Patrick's on the beach is a family run hotel on a large beachfront property. We stayed in a beach front cottage, which was absolutely wonderful. Each cottage has a large porch where you can sit and have your morning coffee (they make excellent brewed coffee in giant coffee cups btw), and/or drink your evening cocktails while watching the boats and the surf. Their beach is sandy and clean and great for swimming. If you want to go island hopping, a boat will pull right up to the hotel and take you. No need for the cramped van ride to some public pier. They have a very nice restaurant and bar, but will happily serve your meal at one of the pagodas on the beach. And probably most important, the staff are amazing. This isn't a new style hotel, or a cookie cutter chain hotel. There isn't a flat screen tv with 47 shopping channels in each room, but they do have Aircon, a mini fridge, a great bed, and a large tile bathroom. Think of it as more of a siargao adventure base in a garden of Eden type setting. It's in the heart of Gen. Luna's restobar scene. You can walk everywhere (even take a shortcut on the beach).

For Siargao it’s a good spot. For Cocotel it could be better. It was the place I had the best sleep though😍! I asked for a room far from the road and far from construction. So that is a big plus for me.

Very good value for money! We stayed in a very tidy room with an ensuite bathroom that has a hot shower and very good water pressure. Wifi is strong, too, and there's a shared kitchen for all the guests to use. Another thing we loved is that they're eco-conscious, so they practice and promote recycling. The owner, Raymund, was also a gem, very warm, welcoming, and helpful. Would love to stay here again if we're ever back in Siargao! 💖

You get what you pay for. If you want a budget accommodation with privacy and don't want to stay with a hostel, this is an option. Okay naman location since it is along Tourism Road. The downside is walang masyadong kainan na malapit kapag lumabas ka kaya need mo magtricycle palagi everytime gusto mo kumain. Kaya they also offer free breakfast kasi wala ka nga naman makakainan sa labas na malapit. 6:40am start ng breakfast nila tas yung babaeng assistant wala man lang urgency na ihanda agad at 7am pa magsisimula magluto. Lol. The worst part is yung pinapatay nila yung breaker ng electricty kapag tanghali (kasi inaassume nila na walang tao sa room) kaya minsan sobrang init kapag nagstay ka sa don. So need mo pa sila tanungin kung brownout ba or pinatay lang nila breaker tas tsaka nila bubuksan ulit. Then sa gabi sinasarado nila yung main valve ng tubig kesyo nakakalimutan daw ng guest na nakabukas daw yung gripo. E pano makakalimutan eh pinapatay nga nila yung main valve. So dapat lagi may ipon ng tubig para incase na patayin nila yung tubig eh makaligo ka pa rin. Lol. I suggest wag na kayo magstay dito and mas better kung makahanap kayo ng accom along Town Hall para malapit sa kaninan. Note that they collect a key deposit of 100pesos which wag ka na umasa na mababalik. Since all departure flights sa Siargao ay umaga and tulog pa sila around 5am then yung main house is nakalock so I guess yung 100pesos na kinolect is parang payment na rin sa key duplication so if ever na matapat din kayo sa ganung situation eh wag niyo ng iwan sa room yung susi at itapon niyo nalang.

Pros: • hotel is new, they only opened last August • room was very spacious • beds, pillows, comforter were very comfortable • bathroom was very spacious with complimentary toothbrushes, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner • airconditioning was superb • room has a balcony (that we didn’t use) Cons • because it’s new, apparently their how shower has not been installed yet. But they provide hot water from the kitchen and will bring to the room in a pail 😂 • location is not ideal as it is a good 10-minute walk on a dirt road to get to the main tourism road • breakfast wasn’t impressive. The tapa and the tocino were tough. All in all, it’s still value for money. The entries crew were very friendly and accommodating. And I will still consider staying there next time.
