Amazing place, fantastic hosts, stayed for 3 nights and didnt want to leave will be back for sure!Posted on Ricky RuetaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. he amenities were decent and enough to enjoy the day, whether you’re swimming, taking photos, or just bonding with friends and family. It’s a great spot for both relaxation and small group outings.Posted on Sanne SevigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Some places don’t just give you a break. They gently take you out of the noise of your own life. Tucked away in a quiet corner of Bucas Grande, there is this little cove that feels almost unreal. Surrounded by water. Resting lightly on wooden poles above the sea. No traffic. No background music. No notifications. Just the sound of waves moving beneath you, leaves breathing, birds calling, and the soft rhythm of nature doing what it has always done. I went there with friends and close family, and we stayed for a couple of magic days. And in that short time, it felt like we disappeared from the world — in the best possible way. Shiela, Mick and their family have this rare gift of hosting. The kind where you feel seen, cared for, and completely at home — without anything feeling forced or fancy. It’s simple. Honest. Deeply connected to nature. And that simplicity is exactly what makes it magic. Shiela called it a “reboot.” She was right. Part of me wants to keep this place a secret. Because I know I’ll return. Again and again. To slow down. To breathe. To be fully present with the people I love. But if you ever crave a real mental timeout — the kind where the only soundtrack is water and wind — inquire here. Some corners of the world are not meant to impress you. They’re meant to restore you.Posted on Anna LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wunderschöne Unterkunft auf den Bucas Grandes - glutenfreie Verpflegung möglich Kurz gesagt: Einfach herkommen und genießen! Ausführliche Infos : Aufgrund der wenigen Bewertungen in der letzten Zeit waren wir etwas skeptisch, ob es diesen Ort wirklich gibt. Nach 6 Nächten an diesem magischen Ort können wir bestätigen: Das Hotel gibts wirklich - und es ist in echt noch viel schöner als auf den Bildern. Anreise: Wir sind vom Hafen in Surigao zum Hayanggabon Port gefahren (Van, 150 PHP pro Person), von dort hat Shiela uns das Boot für die Überfahrt organisiert. Andere Gäste kamen aus Dapa, auch hier kann Shiela die Überfahrt organisieren. Zimmer: In beiden Türmen gibt es jeweils 2 Zimmer. Alle Zimmer haben fantastische Ausblicke. Die Einrichtung ist einfach, aber alles sauber und gepflegt. Gemeinschaftsbereich: Die überdachte Terasse mit Sitzsäcken, Hängematte und ausreichend Tischen ist das Herz der Unterkunft und schafft eine gemütliche Atmosphäre für gemeinsame Spieleabende oder ruhige Lesenachmittage. Verpflegung: Das Frühstück war inklusive und wir wurden jeden Morgen mit neuen Köstlichkeiten überrascht. Von Auberginen-Lasagne über panierte Bananen und Wassermelonenshakes war immer für das leibliche Wohl gesorgt. Den restlichen Tag kann man aus der vielfältigen Karte wählen was man möchte, wobei für alle Unverträglichkeiten oder Präferenzen eine Lösung gefunden wurde. Shiela und der Koch Mark (großes Extralob an dieser Stelle!) können für Gäste mit glutenfreier Nahrungsweise alle Gerichte anpassen. Geschmacklich war das Essen super, wir haben auf den Philippinen nirgends besser gegessen. Ausflüge: Die Sohoton Cove kann per Tagesaktivität erkundet werden. Außerdem können kleinere Touren, bspw. Grillen am Strand oder zum Angeln individuell zusammengestellt und gebucht werden. Die Preise sind dabei transparent und fair. Wer keine Lust auf geführte Touren hat, kann kostenlos mit dem Kajak umherfahren und die Umgebung erkunden. Besonderheit: Es gibt Glühwürmchen und schimmernde Bäume in der Nähe der Unterkunft und auch im Wasser leben nachtaktive interessante Leuchtwesen. Das Schwimmen mit dem fluoreszierenden Plankton war eines der vielen Highlights. Fazit: Die Unterkunft und ihre Bewohner sind jede Anfahrt wert und wir empfehlen mindestens 3 Nächte zu bleiben, um wirklich anzukommen und die verschiedenen Stimmungen aufzusaugen. Danke Shiela für die wundervolle Woche, wir kommen gerne wieder 🥰Posted on Giovanna FunaroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Magico. Non riesco a trovare una parola migliore per descrivere il nostro soggiorno: in questo angolo di paradiso tutto è stato semplicemente perfetto. Abbiamo visitato molte località durante il nostro viaggio itinerante nelle Filippine, ma Bucas Grande e l'Enchanted Cove resteranno per sempre nel nostro cuore. Shiela è stata la miglior host che io abbia mai incontrato. Ancor prima del nostro arrivo, lei e il suo staff ci hanno offerto supporto e aiuto per facilitare ogni spostamento, facendoci sentire a casa fin dal primo momento. Abbiamo ricevuto un'attenzione rara, fatta di estrema premura, affetto e cura per ogni nostra possibile esigenza. La struttura dispone di camere molto ampie, pulite e piene di fascino, affacciate direttamente sull'acqua. È un luogo immerso nel silenzio e nella tranquillità, dove è possibile connettersi davvero con i suoni della natura. Tutto — compresa la dolcissima cagnolina Coco — ha fatto sì che partissimo a malincuore; saremmo voluti restare ancora a lungo per godere di questo paradiso in ottima compagnia.Posted on fenna van den bergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you read this, you have already found paradise, dont hesitate, GO ! This place is unique. Fireflies at night, the clearest watter during the day. And surrounded by lots of little Robinson Cruiso / bounty deserted palm islands. I knew the filipines where beautiful but I was not prepared to be blown away by its beauty here in sohoton. / bucas Grande. ( also almost no tourists) Sheila and Micke are the best host and will make you feel at home, even like family :) I will always remember this place.Posted on Kyle MckibbinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 🌊✨ This resort was pure magic. Bioluminescent planktons at night, hornbills overhead, lizards running on water and gliding between the trees, and even tarsiers. The food was delicious, and the hosts made me feel so cared for. Truly unforgettable.Posted on Adamski (Adamski)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An Enchanted Cove it is indeed! We had such an amazing time at Mick and Sheila's. They were extremely welcoming hosts, super accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for your hospitality 🥰Posted on Joe RobinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing place to visit if you are in Siargao! Totally approved the place is so unique and the owners are amazing!
