The Gabayan Riviera

This is a beautiful resort. The crew was very helpful and friendly and assisted right away when we called for help setting things up. The food in the restaurant was very good, and the rooms were very comfortable. Air conditioning was great, and hot water showers were a plus. The pool is one of the prettiest pools I have ever seen.

Location is too far from the main area. There is nothing around the hotel, so we had to catch tricycles everytime and it cost a lot of money. Staffs are really friendly and the view from the room was excellent. The best thing was the swimming pool. It was really pleasant.

The location was beautiful. Exterior of the rooms was attractive. These are about the only excellent things I can say about this place. And to be fair, the food at the restaurant was fairly good and portions were generous. But here are several things about the property I didn’t like: (1) Air conditioner didn’t cool the room. (2) Water pressure was weak. (3) Room photos / description online didn’t match actual room. (4) Had a black out / brown out one night. (5) Weak WiFi signal of about 2 MBPS when the WiFi was working; zero when it wasn’t. (6) the vertical blinds didn’t close properly so we felt exposed in our room. (7) No nearby amenities; if not for a friend, I believe we would have had a hard time getting transportation.

We really loved this property. It t is in a quiet area of Siquijor near Lazi. The property is tucked away and right on the Ocean. With a short walk down to a dock. There is not a sandy beach area which is perfectly fine with us. Our Villa was 1A which is next to the restaurant and a front row view of the ocean. The villa was beautiful, clean, nice and cool with great A/C. The pool is near and well kept, really pretty. The food in the restaurant was very good my only criticism of the dining area is the lighting at night. The LED lighting is very white and bright. It needs to be dim and warm light for me. Same with the lights along the path to the restaurant too bright and white light. It’s t takes away from the warm vacation feel. Otherwise this place is amazing. It is a very short scooter ride to the waterfalls and the underground river. We will be back, the staff are the best! Salamat!!!

It was a beautiful property all by itself on the south end of Siquijor. Good starting point for the island tour. Lots of the falls and things to see were close. Food was very good. Staff was nice. Nice pool, and a good snorkel area. Very quiet and peaceful.
