Ocean 101 Beach Resort

Amazing place to stay in Siargao.

It wasn't too bad, but there are better and cheaper places nearby. My fiance chose this resort because of their restaurant, only to be disappointed. Pros - accessible - walking distance to cloud 9 - clean & well maintained facilities - friendly & accommodating staff at the reception - quiet & relaxing exterior - they accept credit cards cons - restaurant food tastes ok but pricey for its serving size. When we arrived, we ordered bacon & egg. We were served a tiny piece of bacon, egg, rice & banana (we don't even eat banana). That for p160. - most if not all restaurant staff are new and they get confused with our orders. Took 3 waitresses to get our order right (2 orders of bacon & egg, 1 egg scrambled, 1 poached, 1 with rice & 1 with toast). - the honeymoon suite is the same rate as the sunset room. I chose the honeymoon suite for privacy -- plus, it's our anniversary so I thought the room would be extra special for couples (this the name). Much to our disappointment, the room is old, air conditioner is weak, bathtub is useless, no bidet, no exhaust, and the water from the sink leaks. - when it rained, the roof leaked. We told the staff and they assisted right away. Unfortunately, all they did was move the bed forward. They didn't even offer to move us to another room. They said they will fix the roof but they didn't. The replacement towels we asked smell like it's been in the closet for a long long time. - they never bothered to put an ashtray on the table outside our room.

The view of the ocean/sea is very relaxing. The resort is so near the famous Cloud 9. The room is very spacious. The staff are helpful and friendly. The restaurant offers good food. Areas of improvement: I hope the management will consider volunteering for the daily make-up of rooms. Be clearer about late checkout fee rate— it is actually per hour. Have more customer-friendly amenities like umbrellas, which we can borrow in case of rain.
