Siquijor Island, Central Visayas hotel rooms at the Independent

"Do not book the sunset vista only if you are after the view. Very poor room and unsafe for a family with a toddler."

"Great view and sunset. Public road a bit too rough to get to resort. Recommend at least 2 night stay which was perfect with full day island tour and snorkelling at resort. Fair food prices and nice meals!"

"This was easily one of the most misleading rental experiences my family ever had. The listing made the place look clean, modern and well maintained-but in reality it’s the complete opposite.The photos must have been heavily edited, because when we got to the place it’s disappointing at best. The place was never near the ocean, it was in the mountain, the facility has no transportation available, the road hoing to the rental property in unpaved, uneven and full of small rocks. It was sorrounded by tall grasses that was never taken cared of. There is an out house accross our rental place and next to it is a kitchen. What made it worse was that the issues were clearly not new, which means the owner/management knowingly allowed guests to book under false expectations. There is nobody on the front desk, and when she arrives she’s wearing a short shorts, and t shirt, only to tell us that if we leave the AC on all day and we left the place, there will be an extra charge. If we lost the key, we will be charged as well. If we break the toilet seat we will be charged for it. The worst part is, there is no store nearby, there Is no place to purchase/order food or even buy water or coffee. The place is not secured, it’s open, no security and at night it’s totally dark, no light posts along the road and if there is one or 2, it can not keep the area will lit. For the price being charged, this place is absolutely not worth it. It feels like a classic bait-and- switch situation. "

"This is a fantastic property if you want peace and quiet. If you are looking to be in the center of the action then it's not for you. Great design and super friendly staff and owner. Owner is very hands-on and greets you and makes sure you are ok with your stay. The restaurant is very pretty, kind of sitting in a loft, and the food was excellent. Nice pool and lounge chairs overlooking the water. Overall a nice place to be if you want to unwind and relax."

"Great place on the beach. It was easy to get to my scuba diving shop from there"

"Very comfy and clean pool"

"Visible from the property. Beautiful beach visibwith grassy area and lounge chairs with a view of the ocean. on the property. Within walking distance to Caticugan Marine Sanctuary which boasts exquisite coral and neon,colorful fish. The best snorkeling experience I've had in the Philippines so far! I dont think it's appropriate for diving, but I'm not sure. I wasn't too crazy about the restaurant food. Short trike ride to town or port. Kind and helpful staff! My room backed up to the busy main street so that was a bit loud. They have rooms cliser to the beach so if noise bothers, consider another room. Siquijor is a wonderful laid back island a snorkelers paradise! So many things to do and see! Well worth the trip and stay at Rainbow bay."

"The room was nice, staff was so helpful and courteous. Hadgood food and mopeds to rent on site"

"Needs some Reno’s, could be a nice location with some clean up."
