Alpas Siargao

Lovely, large 10 bed dorm with so many cool chill out areas. There were comfy hammock chairs, couches, drying racks, and an (albeit small) rooftop area. The staff were incredibly helpful with any issues and the front desk was staffed 24/7 with locals who shared the island's relaxing vibe. The aircon and lights went out for a solid 1.5 hours one night and it was very very hot, but there was nothing that could be done. I would suggest stronger aircon and fans, as, due to location of the aircon in the corner of the back floor, it didn't quite circulate into the top of my bunk bed. There was locked boxes available behind your pillow which had a lovely space for keeping all necessary items close by, with two power points in easy access. The main party areas were about a 6 min walk away, and there was a mini mart rihgt outside the door with x2 other dessert places across the road. Free water was always available, but it was warm. Enough space to park bikes outside. The curtains in the dorms were great to maintain privacy, It was very very noisy with bikes and karaoke nearby, but even with the earplugs provided by staff, I couldn't sleep until after 12 each night.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I don’t know where to start first with this place. The staff are extremely rude and have a dog that they lock behind the reception desk that cry’s all day and night so loudly that you will be able to hear it from down the street. The karaoke bar next door starts at about 6pm and wraps up well after mid night which makes it so hard to sleep even with earplugs. There was no hot water/hardly enough water pressure to wash. We had very loud construction next to us also which started early every morning. Pieces of ceiling was falling and leaving dirt on our bed. When we consulted with staff about our issues they refused to help/listen at all despite us trying to explain very politely why we couldn’t stay here anymore. My friend and I ended up moving accommodation completely and did not receive and kind of apology, understanding or refund from rude staff members. Just avoid it this place all together!!
