Why Coco Grove Beach Resort Is One of Siquijor’s Best Places to Stay

For years, Siquijor has been wrapped in stories of mysticism, but step foot on the island and you’ll quickly discover something far more magical. Think turquoise waters, lush greenery, slow island days, and a charm that quietly stays with you. And when it comes to where to stay, travelers who’ve experienced Siquijor firsthand almost always recommend one place: Coco Grove Beach Resort.

Perfectly tucked along the shoreline, the resort doesn’t just offer a place to rest, it lets you fully soak in the heart and soul of Siquijor.

The resort ticks all the boxes on any vacation wishlist. Convenience comes easy, with Coco Grove located just 20 minutes from the newly opened Siquijor Airport—and airport transfers already included when you book a stay. Iconic island spots like the Old Enchanted Balete Tree, Paliton Beach, and Pitogo Cliff are also just a short drive away. Aesthetics are just as effortless: the resort has a charm of its own, thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural beauty that surrounds it.

Set on a sprawling 7-hectare property with only 96 rooms, your stay feels refreshingly spacious and private. The wide beachfront is never crowded, making it an ideal escape for those craving peace and quiet. Native-style cottages and villas are nestled within tropical gardens and along the white sandy shore, giving guests the option to choose rooms with garden or beach views. Inside, each room is fully air-conditioned and thoughtfully equipped with a private veranda, complimentary tea or coffee, and—worth mentioning—exceptionally comfortable beds. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, with loved ones, or a bigger group, Coco Grove offers room options that cater to every kind of traveler.

And if you’re in a foodie mood, there’s no need to step outside the resort. Start by trying one (or all) of Coco Grove’s three restaurants, each offering its own take on island flavors, fresh seafood, and comforting classics.

Wondering how to spend your downtime? You’ll be spoiled for choice. From diving and snorkeling to swimming at the beach or in any of the three pools, the activities here feel endless. You can kayak, hit the gym, unwind in the game room, join daily yoga sessions, or treat yourself to a relaxing spa experience. Explore the island at your own pace by renting a tuktuk, scooter, or mountain bike. In the evenings, the resort also hosts cultural shows and performances in its own theater. With so much to do, boredom simply isn’t part of the itinerary.

For an even more seamless stay, you can book day tours and island-hopping adventures directly through the resort. And if you’re feeling a little extra, their sunset cruise—complete with light bites and golden-hour views—is well worth adding to your itinerary.

But above all, what truly makes Coco Grove Beach Resort stand out as one of the best resorts in Siquijor is its personalized service and genuinely warm staff. Every detail feels intentional, and every interaction feels thoughtful—making you feel not just welcomed, but truly cared for.
