Buddha is a fantastic resort and made our time in Siargao even better. The accommodation and food are great with friendly staff who make it feel like home. They organised island hopping and a trip to a secret lagoon - both highlights of our stay. Definitely recommend to stay here, cheers Ashley.

Probably the most standout quality of Buddha's Surf Resort is the kindness and amiability of the staff. Unlike most resorts, Buddha treats you like family. You will get to enjoy your vacation without any hassle as the staff will happily organize everything for you. Everyone is so chill and cool here that I am basically a hamster ball of stress-free...

I needed a break from Manila, from the pollution and noise and picked Siargao because a friend suggested it. She suggested the higher-end resorts but I took a risk and booked at Buddha as I am not much of a resort-bubble type. We, with my 81 yo mom, loved Buddha. The staff was professional, efficient, warm, charming and very accommodating.... More

Siargao may not be the typical family destination but if you survive the journey to get there, Buddha's is a great place to stay. The staff is fantastic, very helpful and accommodating. Despite our daughter's sometimes slightly embarrassingly rude and obnoxious antics, they always greeted her with big smlies and open arms. We felt really welcome and well taken care... More

Super nice staff and owner Ashleigh was happy to help us cater a birthday party and also helped us organise a day trip to the lagoon even though we weren't staying there. We also booked a surf lesson through him and if you do this, please understand that this is a very small community where local surfers try to make... More

The surfpackage was very bad organized. Sometimes the surfinsructor(they are only local surfer,but not instructor,they don't explain anything,they push you only in the wave) came very late to pick up you or they did not come. The boards are very old and there are not enough boards. The resort is nice if you you want only stay there. The girls... More

Thanks for the feedback Elif and Tobias. I was disappointed with the content of your review particularly as during your stay you never raised any concerns regarding the surf package in order that we could have resolved any issues. I was also surprised as the review has only just been submitted, some 2 months following your stay. With regard to... More

why stay in buddha's? because buddha's surf resort has achieved the almost-perfect mixture of keeping a zen ambience and embracing your adventurous side. because they offer several ways to accommodate their guests to be able to bring out their inner-dora, like exploring the many nearby attractions siargao can offer, like the awesome rock pools and swimming with the jellyfish (crazy...

Everything was pretty well organized, it was really easy as I got picked up from the airport, my room, everything was pretty well planned for me.

Thanks for the feedback. The 'things that didn't happen' in the surf package, I believe you are referring to the surf video which we couldn't carry out because the photographer was away (we mention this may happen at times on the website and a compensation if offered) - if you remember we deducted this from your bill.
