“Highly recommend for first-timers just landing, wanting to take time / orient”
+Very convenient location for orienting before / after the ferry trip(s). The staff was extremely helpful in coordinating rides. The room was simple, quiet, and well air-conditioned.
−The little coffee packets were confusing to open. All over the floor. Big mess. Sorry.

“Great option in Dapa”
+It was very clean, had working WiFi, a/c and a tv. The beds were comfortable and the private bathroom did the job. The receptionist was very knowledgeable and helpful about the ferries. The cafe next door also did a great coffee in the morning.
−It was a bit noisy with people up at all different hours, this was to be expected. Also there are roosters nearby that started their wake up calls from 5am - make sure to have ear buds. I would still stay here again if I was in the area, just be aware of it.

“A stay packed with comfort, great food, and carefree island moments”
+My stay at IAO Hotel in Dapa, Siargao felt like an easy, cozy getaway with friends. The rooms were clean and relaxing, the staff were warm, and having a parking area made everything hassle-free. The WiFi was impressively fast perfect for chilling, working, or sharing our adventures online. And the best part is the café right next door, a place where you could study, do work, and chill. Their pastries and coffee were so good that it became our everyday go-to spot. If you're heading to Siargao, this place is a comfortable, convenient, and highly recommended stay.

+I had a wonderful stay at IAO Hotel in Dapa, Siargao Island. The staff were very accommodating, and the rooms were comfortable, clean, and perfect for a relaxing break. I also appreciated that they have a parking area available, which made everything more convenient. The location is great, quiet, accessible, and close to what you might need during your stay. Fast Starlink WiFi perfect for anyone who needs reliable connection, good spot to do works. Another highlight is the "I Kofe U" cafe right beside the hotel. Their food and drinks were really good, making it easy to grab a tasty meal or coffee without going far. Overall, IAO Hotel is a cozy, convenient, and welcoming place to stay, definitely worth recommending to anyone visiting Dapa.
