Kalachuchi Beach Resort

I was a bit disappointed being a Zen hotel. I bought non refundable tickets and understand what that means, but my baby of 20min Ty’s was rushed to ER and we couldn’t make the booking. We stayed 4nights in hospital and showed the hospital letters of my child sick and that we couldn’t make it- the hotel seemed not to care in the slightest! This to me is not how kind and “Zen” people run a business

老闆人很不錯，空調和wifi需要加強，其他沒毛病，推薦過來入住，衞生也很棒。謝謝傑西卡，熱情招待，優秀

ナーンにもないのが最高でした。ゆっくりしたい方はお勧めします。ただ、蚊が大量に発生するので、蚊取り線香は必須。

老闆很和藹 很漂亮的小複式

Kalachuchi is a wonderfully peaceful little bit of paradise. The villas are spacious, there is direct access to the beach, a big clean pool and very friendly welcoming staff. Easy to get anywhere you want on Siquijor with rented scooters from the hotel and then return for sunset pina coladas by the pool, ready to start the next day with some morning snorkelling and feel like you have the sea all to yourself. The restaurant is a mix of good western and Filipino food. The area hasn’t got the touristy vibe of San Juan so if you’re looking to escape that, Kalachuchi is perfect. About 40 mins in a tricycle from Siquijor port and 20 from Larena port.

Our stay in Kalachuchi was just perfect. The staff made everything so much easier. Need a motorbike? Consider it done. A really early check-in because you took a ferry at 2am, no problem. A massage to relax from your dives? The masseur will come directly to your little house. On top of that the food was delicious and the beds just perfect. We will definitly come back again if we are lucky enough to be back in Siquijor.

The owners/managing partners and all the staff were all nice, friendly, and professional. My spouse and I felt they genuinely cared about our well being. The property is beautiful, quiet, and quite secluded. The food made in the restaurant (including complimentary breakfast) was delicious and of high quality/freshness. Their kitchen is spotless. We ate almost every meal here during our 12 nights stay. We rented a scooter at the ferry terminal (Siquijor) and hired a tricycle driver to take our luggage to and from the property. It is essential to have a scooter for your stay imo as it would be difficult to find a tricycle once at the property. This property, as with much of the island, have limited to non existent cell phone coverage; so don’t expect to have cell reception. Wi Fi did not work in our first room assignment, but the staff quickly moved us to a room (Sampaguita) that had the strongest Wi Fi, as it was essential for us to have Wi Fi. The restaurant and pool/beach area had good Wi Fi also. Rooms have no coffee/tea, but can be purchased in the restaurant. Room does have a small fridge, and we were provided with an electric kettle upon request to boil water for the tea/coffee we brought ourselves. The corrals in the ocean are about 200 metres from the high tide line, but once you trek out there with your snorkel, it is an absolutely stunning place to snorkel. We enjoyed the tranquility of this place.

The good: resort is very tropical, nice environment, hot water in the bathroom The bad: out of the way, almost an hour from the main siquijor port, road construction causing loud noise, resort was empty (no other guests), had an extra person which we are more than willing to pay a reasonable amount for, but was charged almost half a room rate for him to sleep on the floor, when asking the manager (owners wife) she was very rude and defensive about it. Basically felt like she charged us way more than reasonable because I’m a foreigner. Also Wi-Fi is almost unusable and there is very little cell reception. Overall I would not recommend for any foreigner as they will try and take you for as much money as they can.
