Garden Bungalows Resort

Garden Bungalows Resort is a three-star resort and bungalow property in Siquijor, suited to travellers who want practical accommodation with several places to eat nearby and enough outdoor space to slow the pace. The setting gives you a garden, a terrace, a picnic area and a sun terrace, so there is somewhere to sit when the day's main ambition is not to sit in another airport.

The hotel's information is available in English and German, which makes the property geared towards both English- and German-speaking guests online. The feel is straightforward rather than over-designed: accommodation, food options, laundry, parking, internet access and help with excursions, all gathered around a resort-style base in Siquijor.

The address is Brgy. Polangyuta, Siquijor, Siquijor 6225, Philippines. The resort sits a few minutes from Siquijor town centre, keeping everyday errands and town life within reach without placing you in the middle of it.

The beach is accessible on foot, and a beach shuttle is also available. For getting around the island, car hire is offered and the property provides parking, useful if your plan involves more than the route between the room and the restaurant. Excursion assistance is available on site as well, so local exploring need not begin with a long search for the right contact.

The standard, superior and deluxe rooms are set up for the practical business of recovering from a day outdoors. Air conditioning takes care of the heat, while soundproofing is built into the better-equipped room categories. You also have a private bathroom, shower, towels, toiletries, a hairdryer, a wardrobe, a safe, a television, Wi-Fi, drinking water and tea or coffee facilities. The mini-bar is useful for keeping something cold nearby, rather than making every small refreshment a separate mission.

For two people, the double rooms with garden views keep the choice simple: a double bed, a private bathroom and a garden outlook. The superior triple rooms are the more useful direction for three travelling together, with triple options facing the pool, the water or a view. The single superior room suits solo travellers who want the same air conditioning, mini-bar, safe and desk without booking around someone else's sleep schedule.

The studios change the equation for longer stays or guests who prefer a little more independence. They add a kitchen, microwave, dining area, balcony and attic space, along with air conditioning and the same useful room basics. The penthouse and attic balcony versions are the ones to consider if outdoor space matters to you; the double and triple studio formats make them relevant for couples or small groups.

Food is spread across four named restaurants rather than concentrated in one dining room. Twenty4Cafe covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with Filipino and international cooking, homemade snacks and meals, plus a bakery offering European bread. That is the practical stop when you want something casual without making the meal into an event.

For a different plate, Dolce Amore Restaurant serves authentic Italian food at lunch and dinner. Rainbow Bay Restaurant is five minutes from the resort and brings Asian food, pizza and burgers to the table; it is closed on Mondays. Hidden Valley Restaurant/Bar works outdoors, serving international food with a sunset setting, which gives the evening a reason to last a little longer.

Breakfast is available, while the exact meal arrangement depends on the accommodation booking. There is no separate bar listed apart from Hidden Valley Restaurant/Bar, so the evening choice here is food-led rather than a long catalogue of drinking venues.

The useful feature here is the amount of low-effort outdoor space. A garden, terrace, picnic area and sun terrace give you several ways to spend an afternoon without scheduling another excursion. The beach is reachable on foot, and the resort also has a beach shuttle when your legs have already done enough for one day.

Hiking is available for guests who want to stay on land, while the excursion service can help organise a wider look at Siquijor. For a quieter plan, take a seat in the garden or on the terrace, order food at one of the nearby restaurants and let the island do the entertaining. There is no need to turn every non-diving hour into a programme.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to 20:00, with check-out by 12:00. Reception is open around the clock, which is useful when travel timings refuse to behave like a tidy spreadsheet. Airport transfers are available and should be arranged with the resort; car hire is also offered for exploring Siquijor independently.

Free Wi-Fi, parking, a safe and laundry service cover the practical basics. Laundry is available as a service, and the property also provides ticket assistance and excursion help. There are no lifts, so keep that in mind when choosing a room if stairs are a concern. Smoking areas are provided, pets and assistance animals are not permitted, and accepted payment methods include cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and bank transfer.
