The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the private pools and the 'home away from home' vibe, often calling it the highlight of their Siargao trip.
Mango Tree Siargao
$200-420/ natt
Boka detta om You want a private, spacious villa with your own pool away from the General Luna chaos, and don't mind a 10-minute scooter ride to dinner.
Varför människor älskar det
- Massive private villas (150-300sqm) that feel like a celebrity hideaway
- Butler-esque service via WhatsApp (Louise and Juju are legends)
- Stunning hill-top views that beat the standard beachfront clutter
Snabb Överblick: It's a gorgeous eco-sanctuary, but the 'nature' includes ants in the kitchen and the 'luxury' excludes free orange juice at breakfast.
Recenserat av @louisealburo: I stayed at Mango Tree Siargao and it was unreal. Opening the curtains to that private pool and coconut forest view was the highlight of my trip. The villa is huge and the open-air design let us soak in the tropical vibe 24/7. It felt like our own private resort.

Reality check
The distance from town (2-3km) is a hassle without a scooter, and the wifi/cell signal is notoriously spotty.
- You are a group or family who needs 2+ bedrooms and a full kitchen
- You rent a scooter immediately upon arrival
- You prefer waking up to rooster crows and jungle views over late-night party bass
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily housekeeping is thorough, but they might miss a spot or two on the outdoor decks.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are modern and clean, though water pressure can be inconsistent due to island infrastructure.
- Maintenance: Generally excellent condition, though the tropical climate causes minor wear on outdoor furniture.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, but bring your own beach towel if you plan to leave the property.
- Odors & scents: Fresh jungle air, occasionally interrupted by smoke from neighbors burning leaves (island life).

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 250 PHP charge for a glass of orange juice at breakfast catches everyone off guard.
💡The electricity on the island fluctuates; the AC might cut out briefly during your stay.
💡It's not a hotel with a lobby; it feels more like a serviced Airbnb compound.
💡The 'eco-friendly' claim is real — solar power is used, but that also means water pressure can vary.
💡You might get a visit from the resident dogs, Spot and Pampu (they are friendly).
