They also have their own restaurants and bar that serves beer at night and some acoustic bands that can serenade you while meeting some new friends.



For future bookings you can always reach them on their website http://www.panglaobirdwatchers.com/contact-and-bookings.html

My first ever solo trip to Bohol is full of excitement. One of those is arranging and booking hotels for myself. That's where I learned about booking.com, it is my trusted site where I book most of my trips for over three years now.


Since I am just alone on this trip, my budget will be alloted more on hotel bookings. So I make sure to look for the cheapest I can get. Stefanie Grace Paradise Inn is one of the cheapest I can find in Loboc, Bohol. The location of the place is accessible to all the spots I will visit at that part of Bohol plus I'll be staying for a night only. That time spending 500 per night is really a plus for me and it is really cheap already.



One thing I love about this Inn is that they have their own pool. There's something about an accommodation with own pool, well, this is just for me. Aside from that, the place looks like a home transform into inn to accept people who are looking for nice and comfy place to stay in Loboc.

Most people will think that going to Siargao is expensive, well that will be for sure if you don't have any idea about the island. When planning about any trip, most of us diy-ers and cheap-seeker-travelers always look for something that is cheaper but will not jeopardize our trip.



During my planning stage of my adventure at Mindanao, I allotted eleven days for my Siargao trip. I know most people would think why spend that long in a certain place? For me, there's something about this island that needs to be explored and experienced. Good thing I've made the right decision.



Given the nights of my stay at the island, I need to look for cheaper accommodation, and not to brag but I love researching and I know I am really good at that and tadah! found some place to stay at a cheaper price per night. Would you believe that I only spent 3500 pesos for ten nights at Siargao. Such a steal right? That will be 350 pesos per night.



Okay, the place I am talking to is Paglaom Hostel. I've learned about this place over researching on the internet and for me its already cheap so I decided to booked on their website.









The Hostel is a mixed dorm types. Honestly, it is my first time to try mixed dorm accommodation. I've tried single-bed at all girls room when I visited Bohol last year so I know this is going to be another experience for me.



If you are looking for cheap accommodation at Siargao, you may try this Hostel and I know you will not regret it. Its actually one of the best accommodation I had in my experience in travelling alone. The Hostel is around 5 mins away from Cloud 9 and will cost you 20 pesos habal-habal ride but is not along the highway. It's actually inside an area just near the highway, but walking is really good for anyone, plus if you rent your own motorbike it will be piece of cake for you. Though, Paglaom Hostel is not the most cheapest in Siargao, yes you've read that right, but the experience and their hospitality, and how they manage their hostel is more than what you will pay. The owner, Sunne is so vibrant and accommodating and will really help you out around the area. Plus, you will meet a lot of new friends and if you are lucky enough became for keeps.








As I've mentioned, there are a lot of much cheaper accommodation at Siargao, mostly, bunk beds like of the Paglaom, but I don't have much information about it. I just saw it while we are there. The cheapest is around 150 pesos per night and right in front of the highway going to the famous surf spot Cloud 9. You will not miss it because when you get off your ride it's one of the first thing you will see, you can't missed it actually. Along the highway going to Cloud 9 I notice some bunk beds around 300 pesos per night, its near Fat Lips store.

YSLA Beach Resort and Eco Camp is a place to fell in love with. The fact that its eco camp and I'm all support with anything eco friendly I did not hesitate to book on their resort even though their price exceeds my limit per night. They charge a single tent (max of 2 pax) for 1500. Since I'm the only one on this trip all the expenses are all mine. For me, paying thousands overnight is expensive already given that I will just sleep in here and leave the island the next day but part of me can't resist the beauty I saw on their website and of course by staying in here supporting an eco friendly environment.







The resort did not fail me. The crews are all very welcoming and helpful to my needs.







I arrive almost 6 in the evening and they are very much welcoming and assisting me for my island hopping the next day.
