White Villas Resort

The room is very nice and spacious, with a veranda offering both pool and beach views. The only thing missing is a hairdryer, but everything else is well provided. I appreciate the thoughtful touches like a laundry basket for used clothes and a sampayan on the veranda for drying wet items. The beach view is beautiful, though it still shows some remnants from the previous storm — I wish the area had been cleaned up, as it would encourage guests to enjoy the shoreline and swim in the sea. Paliton Beach, just 5 minutes away, is spotless in comparison. Breakfast was superb, and the staff were all warm and friendly, always greeting guests with a smile.

Our room at White Villas resort was recently renovated and clean. We liked it. Unfortunately, it's the only positive thing I can say. Resort staff was lacklustre, not smiling much and slow to reply on WhatsApp. The resort is in need of gardening work to make it look clean. The beach was filled with seaweed and mud. Absolutely impossible to swim, but this is mentioned on the hotel's website and not the owner's fault. Prices inside the resort vary greatly from regular prices outside. The price of a motorcycle is 550/day while it is 350 pesos outside. Over 50% more! The price of a 1 hour massage is 950 pesos, over 50% more of other massage studios where it is 600 pesos. Overpriced! The really unacceptable part, however, was the free breakfast included in the room booking. Even though many Westerners book this resort, the free breakfast is mainly for Filipinos. Westerners have a different idea of a breakfast than a Filipino. Cereals, whole grain bread (not just toast), jogurt, salami and different cheeses? Nothing at all! Fresh mangoes or pineapples? Nothing at all, although it is local. The free breakfast was meager and downright pathetic. So many people have pointed this out in several reviews here in the past years, yet nothing seems to have changed. Why? In my opinion, this resort offers nice rooms, but a bad value for money. The rooms are too expensive for the experience you get in the resort. There are cheaper and better options in San Juan. I don't regret having come once, but I will not come a second time.

Feedback on My Recent 4-Day Stay Dear White Villas Resort Management, I would like to share my positive observations during my recent 4-day stay at your hotel: Security – The guard was always present at the gate throughout my stay, which made me feel safe and secure. Bathroom Condition – The bathroom was superb—spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Air-conditioning – The air-conditioning unit worked perfectly, with no unpleasant odors, showing that it is regularly cleaned and well maintained. Pool and Restaurant – The pool was clean and well maintained, and the restaurant served delicious food at very reasonable prices. Room Amenities – The room was exceptionally clean, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep. Staff Interaction – The front desk and other hotel staff were outstanding. They greeted me warmly each time we met and consistently provided excellent service. Everyone was approachable and professional. It is clear that this hotel is well managed and that the staff are well trained. I believe that no matter the category—luxury or budget—every hotel should strive to deliver this level of service. Kudos to White Villas Resort Management for setting such a great example. I highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Siquijor Island.

Our honest review of our recent stay at White Villas: 1. Resort Name: The term “Villas” seems inaccurate for this resort category. Not all accommodations are villas — we stayed in a two-storey building with around four rooms, which doesn’t fit the “villa” description. 2. Room: The room was quite small, especially the toilet and bath, which were below standard size. 3. Breakfast: The complimentary plated breakfast was disappointing. The corned beef and beef tapa served were of cheap brands. It would be better if they used at least a quality brand like Purefoods. 4. Beach: While the resort is beachfront, the beach was not swimmable during our stay due to a lot of sea garbage. The area felt dull no background music, and it was dark at night. 5. Amenities: The swimming pool was overchlorinated, so swim at your own risk. On a positive note, there is parking for both two and four wheeled vehicles, and security personnel are visibly present. 6. Mobile Signal: Globe signal was weak and unstable during our stay. 7. Location: The location is convenient, with many restaurants and cafés nearby. A convenience store is just across the street. 8. Room Price: Considering the small room and bathroom, plus the basic plated breakfast, the price feels a bit too high for what you get.

Lovely place with good vibes and a great location next to the ocean even though not great for swimming since the water is shallow for 30+ meters before you can dip. Didn't test the dept on high tide and might be easier. Staff was very friendly and the room was spacious, loved that we had a 5L water station to use. The bathroom could be of higher standard and our sink didn't drain properly, even we asked to get it fixed. The restaurant had amazing foods (the chef was brilliant!!) and we loved the soups and sizes! So good value for money!
