Coco Grove Beach and Dive Resort, Siquijor - Pampering (Luxury) Stay

I was having a second thought if I would say "yes" to this Siquijor trip because the budget's  a bit higher than what I usually allot for my trips - my plane ticket wasn't on seat-sale price and my friends chose a high-end resort because of its excellent reviews and super nice photos. But I must say: No regrets that I agreed to join. That's what I realized after I had my first breakfast at Coco Grove. The place alone made my Siquijor trip  a memorable one.

*3D2N - room for two (we requested for extra bed), with breakfast. Accommodation Budget: around Php 3,500/head - that's for 3 people.

Picturesque sunset. <3

Just beware of biggy frogs (we had one who happily jumped its way inside our villa when we're about to enter).

Six-Hour Day Tour - Siquijor

10AM we left Coco Grove to start our 6-hour island tour for only Php 1,000.  First stop – Enchanted (Century-Old) Balete Tree

We didn’t only get to see this old Balete tree, but we also had our spa treatment! I found it ticklish when the tiny and even big tilapia-looking fish started sucking our dead skin cells.

Few minutes away from Balete Tree – Cambugahay Falls.

 One hundred thirty plus steps and you’ll get to see the scenic beauty of Cambugahay Falls.

Next was San Isidro Labrador Parish Church. Fronting the church is this old abandoned convent (damn! I was expecting to see an old convent with nuns! Didn’t know it was abandoned). I guess the local government should do something to make these two more appealing to the visitors.

A bit creepy. I was the only "explorer" at that time. I stopped at the last step of that stairs to take photos.

Final stop, Salagdoong Beach. It’s lunch time when we arrived here. 

While two of my friends were busy swimming after lunch, I preferred to explore the place and find some more interesting spots. I found a quiet corner, a bit dangerous if you’re not careful with your steps, but it has magnificent view of the sea stretching in the horizon. Lovely view!

On our way back to the resort, kodak moment. The oldest house (in the province?)

AT 4PM we’re back to our resort. Though Salagdoong Beach and other tourist spots were amazing, Coco Grove Resort has its own secrets to reveal to its guests who desire to be pampered all day.
