Siquijor's Best

Been here twice but only ever explored one out of 12 waterfalls and that one circular water receptacle. First time, it was a Saturday and there was no entrance fee, just a donation to the guide. There weren't a lot of people. There's a rope swing but I didn't have the courage to jump lol. Water was milky white, blue/green. Second time, went to the same falls but it rained hard the night before so it was murky. Went to the circular receptacle instead. I prefer this over Cambugahay Falls, less crowded.

Cambugahay Falls is on everyone's recommended things to do when in Siquijor. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and expected crowds but when I got there, the crowds were just too much. I expected it to wow me coz based on pictures and videos I've seen, it looks awesome but in real life it's just meh. I've been to Daranak Falls in Rizal and Kawasan Falls in Cebu and these two are top tier, even when crowded. I highly recommend you go to Lugnason Falls instead.

This was our last stop on our first day in Siquijor. I didn't know how crazy far Salagdoong was from Cambugahay. When we got there, we only had a couple minutes to spare before they closed so we went ahead and took pictures. The water looked so inviting. Although the beach/shore isn't pure sand, it has lots of tiny rocks so be careful when swimming. There were a lot of people but we managed to take pics without interruption.

I bet it would have looked a whole lot better during dry season. There were lots of people lined up to take photos. Lots of people jumping even when there was a sign that it was prohibited. We thought it would be a good alternative to the overcrowded Kawayan Holiday Resort. You'd think there'll be less people on rainy season but youre wrong.

It was a huge compound. Took us a couple minutes to reach Salamandas Restaurant. It's a very lovely resort though. Very Instagrammable. There are cute tiny birds there that were so interesting to watch. The food was excellent and the ambiance too. You can swim by the resort if you feel like it as well. Overall, a must visit when in Siquijor.

I had to give them a four out of five as my friend who ordered first, got her food last. They really took their time on her order, worst thing was, she was on a time crunch and had to be back in San Juan for her online job. Apart from this, everything was smooth sailing. Ambiance really is relaxing, it feels so homey. They have more seating room downstairs. You can also pay via GCash or QR code. Price point is okay. Food presentation is great. The only struggle we had was finding a tricycle to take us back to San Juan.
