-WHERE TO SLEEP IN SIARGAO-
There are multiple places I can recommend.
►Surfing Carabao: https://bit.ly/2Jup0Oi
This is the place you see in the video, which I loved very much! They are a bit out of town so you’ll need to rent a bike or tricycle to get into town (for dinner and tours).
►Ocean 101: http://www.ocean101cloud9.com/
This is where my friends stayed, and they loved it! Have only enjoyed sunset here which was quite nice
►Kawili:   / kawiliresort  
You can book dorm rooms here too, it’s in the center of General Luna (close to everything!). Friends who stayed at an other place, decided to go here cause the other place just ended up being a big party spot. They liked Kawili!

General tip: check the LATEST REVIEWS if you book a hotel! The place I spoke about before had very good reviews till a few months ago, when it changed owner who basically throws parties every night. Overall rating is not bad, just the last reviews show the real situation.

--WHAT TO SEE IN SIARGAO—
Here’s what’s featured in the video
►Sugba Lagoon and Kawhagan Island (nice daytrip I took with with My Siargao Guide)
►Island hopping to Guyam, Daku and Naked island (nice daytrip too, also with My Siargao Guide)
►Visiting the tree swing at Maasin bridge and continue to the small lagoon (we took a trike to the bridge, from General Luna and back for 500 pesos total)

The tour company I used, you’ll find here:   / mysiargaoguide  
Tour company I am very curious for (but was not able to try):
  / bathalalandtours  

Other places to check out (especially if you rent your own bike):
►Pacifico, long drive but popular surf spot and beach
►Magpungko Rock pool, which is apparently very stunning when the sun is out!
►Tayangban Cave Pool
►Tak tak waterfall

--WHERE TO EAT IN SIARGAO—
►Kermit Surf resort is definitely a must visit! They got amazing pizza’s and other treats. Be in time cause they fill up. If you’re a guest at the hotel, they’ll reserve a spot for you in a special area.
►Shaka Café for your morning smoothie bowl.
►Mama’s Grill for fresh fish
►Bravo Beach resort, for very chill dining at the beach front
►Sushi nori, along the road in General Luna. Not the most fancy spot to sit, but that Sushi!!! O my!
►Pan de Coco, along the main road in General Luna. Ask for it!

--RAIN IN SIARGAO—
It's important to know Siargao has some heavy rains from time to time. Not only can this ruin your plans on the spot (I had friends visiting 2 years ago who couldn't do anything because of the rain). But also for flying back it matters. With heavy rain, airplanes don't leave the airport, or you can't arrive from let's say Cebu. I would suggest planning your trip with some extra time!!! For flying also :)
