“Warm and affable host, great location, comfortable mattress, quiet aircon. All in all, great value.”
+My wife and I stayed at Fat Lips Surf Lodge for 8 days and had a wonderful time. The rooms are excellent: a comfortable mattress, quiet and clean new aircon, a large TV with Netflix, fast and reliable Wi-Fi, and a backup generator in case the island loses power (it didn’t during our stay). Guests also have access to a modern, well-equipped kitchen, which made it easy to have a quick, healthy breakfast and save on a few meals. The whole property feels quiet, safe, and comfortable, and the newly installed pool is beautiful and perfect for cooling off on hot Siargao days. The small details are really dialed in. Each room has an easy-to-set personal safe, so you can feel completely confident leaving your valuables. We were there over Halloween, and the room even had a personal touch: cute cobweb decorations. Tim was helpful and attentive throughout and made everything easy. He also rents out a fleet of new, well-maintained scooters at a fair price, which made getting around the island simple. We couldn’t recommend Fat Lips Surf Lodge more highly. We’d happily stay again!

“Good if your on a budget!”
+Bed was super comfortable! And shower had hot water which is a bonus on the island, balcony was nice and lovely staff and they have just built a brand new pool which looks amazing
−The aircon was very loud and smelt very damp which made it unpleasant to stay in the room, bathrooms are poorly ventilated so it takes a while for the wet floor to dry up. Mouldy shower walls

“Best choice”
+We loved pretty much everything about our stay at this great location! Tim made us feel welcome and at home at all times, provided his amazing and detailed 80 page Siargao guide and took care of all our requests. The dogs are also so cute:) (they might „knock“ on the door to cuddle) Also, he even let us keep the scooter we had rented, although we had to move to another location because they were fully booked.
−AC could have been a bit quieter;)

+I had a wonderful stay! Tim was an amazing host,so thoughtful and attentive to everything we could possibly need, and extremely helpful. The room was super comfortable and clean. The hot shower was fantastic with strong water pressure and stable temperature. I will definitely stay here again next time!

“Fat Lips embodies what General Luna feels like.. pure bliss 💓”
+Beautiful rooms with a balcony, everything you could need in the perfect location. The owner greeted me and couldn’t be more helpful. I definitely neatly cancelled my flight so I could just stay another night.
−Nothing!!
