Siargao's Blauset Secret: Unbelievable Island Paradise You NEED to See!
Siargao's Blauset Secret: Island Paradise? More Like, "OMG, I Need Therapy After This Trip, But Like, in the Best Way Possible!" (A Review, Because Apparently, That's a Thing)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I’m about to spill allll the tea on Siargao's Blauset Secret. Forget those perfectly curated Instagram feeds – this is the real deal. And let me tell you, it's a wild ride. Expect some tangents, some gushing, maybe a few side-eyes…because that's just how my brain works.
Accessibility… the Initial Hurdles (And Why it's Still Worth It)
Getting to Siargao is an adventure in itself. Flights are… unpredictable. Let's just say my first flight was delayed so much, I considered knitting a sweater out of my own despair. But Blauset Secret itself? Well, it's thankfully a little more straightforward. They do have airport transfer (hallelujah!), which is a godsend after the travel chaos. Once you're there, things are relatively easy. Though, I will say, if you have mobility issues, inquire deeply about wheelchair accessibility. While they indicate facilities for disabled guests, specifics are key. And maybe consider the extra insurance… just in case.
Restaurants & Lounges: Food, Glorious Food (and the Occasional Hiccup)
Okay, listen up foodies, because this is where Blauset Secret really shines. They have several restaurants, serving everything from Asian delights to Western classics. The Asian breakfast is a MUST-TRY, I'm talking fluffy rice, savory sauces… pure bliss. They also offer vegetarian options, which is a big win for this meat-averse travel writer. Honestly, the breakfast buffet is worth getting up early for. I mean, a poolside bar? Happy hour? Yes, please and thank you! They have a coffee shop too - essential for a caffeine addict like myself.
The only tiny hiccup? Service can be… island-esque. Sometimes super speedy, sometimes… not so much. Be patient, order another cocktail, and embrace the "island time" vibe. It's part of the charm, right? RIGHT?! (Okay, maybe I was hangry that one time.)
Wheelchair Accessible: The Fine Print
As mentioned earlier, verify wheelchair accessibility. While the description says they have them, I didn’t personally encounter any specific features.
Internet: Wi-Fi Everywhere… Mostly
Okay, let's be real. Internet in Siargao can be… temperamental. Blauset Secret claims free Wi-Fi in all rooms, and Wi-Fi in public areas. Which is true… most of the time. It’s not always lightning-fast, so if you're planning on streaming HD videos, prepare for some buffering. This goes for the internet access [LAN] as well, though I didn't test the lan option yet. Seriously, though, who cares? You're in paradise! (Unless you need to work. Then… good luck. You’ve been warned.)
Things to Do: Relaxation Overload (In a Good Way!)
This is where Blauset Secret truly earns its name. Forget just relaxing; it's a relaxation experience.
My Single Favorite: The Spa. Oh. My. GOD. The massage? I got the deeeeeeep tissue massage. It was INTENSE but so, so worth it. I swear, I felt like a new woman afterwards. Like, someone had physically wrung out all my stress and replaced it with… sunshine and coconuts. Speaking of coconuts, you can chill by the pool with a view – seriously, the infinity pool is just… chef's kiss. There’s also a sauna, a steamroom, a spa, and they even have a foot bath. They offer body scrubs and body wraps too! (Consider booking in advance. They get busy, and you don't want to miss out on that glorious massage.)
The Gym/Fitness Center: I admit… I glanced in there once. Okay, twice. Let's just say the allure of the pool and the bar won out. But it is there, and it is air-conditioned, so if you’re more disciplined than I am, rock on!
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Nobody Wants a Parasite
Blauset Secret takes cleanliness seriously. They use anti-viral cleaning products, and there’s daily disinfection in common areas. Hand sanitizer is readily available, and all staff are trained in safety protocols. There's CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside the property. They have a fire extinguisher, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box in your room. I felt safe and secure the entire time.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling Up for Paradise
Beyond the restaurant, they offer all sorts of deliciousness. They have a bar, and the pool bar offers a poolside bar. They have a snack bar, bottle of water in all rooms and, for those who love to eat and run, a breakfast takeaway service. Room service [24-hour] is a game-changer if you’re plagued by midnight cravings.
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier (and More Fun)
They provide a ton of services. Think concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry service, and dry cleaning. There's even a convenience store on site, perfect for grabbing snacks, sunscreen, or a forgotten toothbrush. I loved the terrace, perfect for sipping coffee and contemplating life.
For the Kids: A Family-Friendly Haven
While I wasn't traveling with children, I noticed they have kids' facilities, a babysitting service, and kids meals. So, if you’re traveling with your mini-mes, this is definitely a place to consider.
Getting Around: Island Life on Wheels
Airport transfer is the bomb. They also offer a taxi service, and car park [free of charge] if you want to explore the island. There is a car park [on-site] as well.
Available in All Rooms: Comfort and Convenience
You get everything you'd expect: air conditioning, air conditioning in public area, alarm clock, bathrobes, bathtub, blackout curtains, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, linens, mini bar, mirror, non-smoking, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, visual alarm, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], and window that opens. Basically, they thought of it all.
My Quirky Observation: I swear, I saw a gecko in my room. Twice. (Totally harmless, but still… gecko.)
And Now, the Emotional Ramblings…
Look, Siargao is… raw. It’s beautiful, it’s chaotic, and it’s utterly unforgettable. Blauset Secret captures that feeling perfectly. It's not a sterile, overly polished resort. It's a place to feel alive. To unwind, to recharge, and to… maybe cry a little (happy tears, of course!) while staring at the ocean.
The Imperfections:
It's not perfect. Things break, the internet goes out, and sometimes you wait longer than you’d like for your food. But honestly? Those "imperfections" are part of the charm. Embrace them. Laugh them off. Because the overall experience? It's worth every single unpredictable moment.
The Verdict:
Go. Just go. Seriously. Book it now. You won't regret it. Just remember to pack your patience, your sunscreen, and your willingness to embrace the beautiful, messy magic that is Siargao.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram travel feed. This is the REAL, messy, sunburnt, and utterly bonkers Blauset Two Siargao Island itinerary I survived (and probably loved, eventually).
Blauset Two Siargao: The Real Deal (and Likely Some Regret)
Day 1: Arrival & "Paradise Found" (Or, You Know, Just Tired)
- Morning (Before Noon): Landed in Sayak Airport (IAO). Okay, first impressions? This place is small. Like, almost blink-and-you-miss-it small. Found a tricycle driver who looked like he'd seen a thing or two (and probably was judging my luggage choices). Negotiated a price that I thought was okay, but who even knows. Anyway, we sped off, hair whipping, towards General Luna.
- Afternoon (Post-Lunch, Pre-Meltdown): Checked into our "rustic chic" (read: slightly dusty, but with a killer view) bungalow. Tried to be all zen and "appreciate the moment," but honestly, I was hangry. First impressions of cloud nine resort was a bit off what I was expecting.
- Late Afternoon / Early Evening (Sunset Vigil): Wandered onto Cloud Nine. The iconic boardwalk looked… well, it looked like a boardwalk. The waves, though. Oh, the waves. Spent a good hour just staring. Got knocked over by one. Twice. Humiliating, but the sunset? Glorious. Ordered some questionable cocktails at a beachfront bar. Probably paid too much. Regretted it in approximately 30 minutes.
- Night: Dinner at Shaka. Their smoothie bowls are amazing, but the line is longer than my patience after a 20-hour travel day. Felt a pang of jealousy watching the locals just breeze in and out. Early night. Exhaustion wins.
Day 2: Surfing, Sunburns, and the Bitter Taste of Humility
- Morning (Surf's Up, Wipeout Down): Dragged myself, bleary-eyed, to the surf school. “Alright, let's do this," I told myself. "I'm basically Kelly Slater." Famous last words, people. The instructors are patient saints. I, however, am a hazard. Spent most of the time swallowing saltwater and flailing. Managed to stand up… for like, two glorious seconds. Then ate it. Hard. My ego is currently residing at the bottom of Cloud Nine.
- Afternoon (Red Alert): Sunburn. Achieved. I am now the color of a cooked lobster. Found some aloe vera (thank god) and sulked in the shade. Contemplated life choices. Mostly wished I had listened to my mom about sunscreen.
- Late Afternoon / Evening (The Quest for Happiness): Tried to find the famous "secret beach." Got hopelessly lost. Tripped over a coconut. Yelled at a crab. Found a different beach, which was actually pretty amazing, even if it wasn't the "secret" one. Decided that happiness is mostly just not getting eaten by something. Had dinner at a little local place way from the tourist trap, best experience I've had yet.
Day 3: Island Hopping & The Great Seafood Debacle
- Morning (Island Fever): Booked an island hopping tour. Cloud Nine is known for its hopping from island to island. Daku was a pretty good place to begin. Naked Island was as close to paradise as you can get, although I did see a lady nearly trip and expose much more than she intended.
- Afternoon (Seafood Snafu): Had lunch on Guyam Island. The seafood was supposed to be amazing. It was… okay? Maybe my expectations were too high. Or maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. Regardless, the thought of the best seafood didn't end up to what I had hope for.
- Late Afternoon / Evening (The Aftermath): Back in General Luna. Walked around. Felt a little bit of "island fatigue," which is apparently a thing. Found a massage parlor that somehow convinced me to get a massage I didn't think I need. Worth. Every. Penny.
Day 4: Coffee Shops, Motorcycles, and the Joy of Doing Nothing
- Morning (Coffee and Contemplation): Found a cute little coffee shop. Sipped over priced coffee while people watching. These locals move fast, and are a lot faster than I imagined. Made a mental note to learn Tagalog. It's going to happen… someday.
- Afternoon (Motorcycle Mayhem): Decided to rent a motorcycle. I may have panicked a little on the steering. Luckily, it was a quieter area. Saw more of the real General Luna. Waved at some locals who probably thought I was insane. I probably was.
- Late Afternoon / Evening (Embracing the Void): Okay, so, I did nothing. Absolutely. Zilch. Read a book on the beach. Watched the waves. Ate some chips. It was glorious. Decided this travel thing might actually be pretty great.
Day 5: The Cloud Nine Encore and the Sad Reality of Leaving
- Morning (Cloud Nine: Round Two): Went back to Cloud Nine. This time, I just watched. Realized I actually enjoyed the surf.
- Afternoon (Souvenir Shenanigans): Scrambled to buy souvenirs. Totally overspent. Probably got ripped off. Who cares?
- Late Afternoon / Evening (Farewell and a Promise): Last sunset. This time I didn't get knocked over. Said goodbye to the waves. Ate fish. Probably the best decision I could have made. Ate a few local desserts, promised to visit for a longer period, and said goodbye to Siargao.
Final Thoughts:
Siargao isn't perfect. The internet is sketchy. The food can be hit or miss. And you'll probably get sunburned. But it's REAL. It's raw. It's beautiful in its own messy, imperfect way. And, despite my occasional meltdowns and surf-related injuries, I loved it. I'll be back. Maybe I'll even learn to surf. (Maybe).
Escape to Bliss: Ira Homestay - Your Dream Mathura Getaway
So, what even *is* this whole... *thing* you're doing?
Ugh, good question. I feel like I'm perpetually explaining this. Okay, here's the deal: I'm trying to create FAQs. But not the boring, robotic kind. You know the ones, all perfectly formatted, answers that could have been written by a slightly above-average stapler. No, I'm aiming for messy, real-life FA-Q-u-e-s. Think slightly unhinged aunt at Thanksgiving, but with better internet access and less judgment about your questionable life choices. I want to talk about *stuff*, whatever that *stuff* may be. Honestly, I'm still figuring it out!
Okay, but *specifically* what are you talking about in these FAQs?! Give me *something* to go on.
Alright, alright, I'll play along. Usually, I'll try to grab at whatever pops into my head, whatever the subject is, so I can put on a show. But you wanna know *my* personal subject? Hmm... let's see. There's the time I accidentally set a microwave on fire trying to make popcorn (don't ask). The endless saga of my quest for the perfect coffee (still searching!). The sheer, unadulterated *chaos* that is my attempts at gardening. And the existential dread of realizing I'm out of good snacks. See? Deep stuff.
Why are you writing like... *this*? It feels a bit chaotic. And are those commas REALLY necessary?
Look, I get it. It's not exactly your polished "Business Professional" style, is it? But here's the thing: Life's chaotic. My brain's chaotic. And well, I'm trying to mirror that, sort of. I'm aiming for honest, relatable, the kind of stuff you'd actually say to your best friend (if your best friend was also a talking FAQ). As for the commas... they're my friends. They're like little breathers, y'know, letting me take a beat before I launch into another rambling tangent . And sometimes, they're just there because, well, I felt like it. Sue me! (Please don't).
What does "messy" *really* mean? Like, how messy are we talking?
Oh, honey, *messy*. We're talking the difference between a neatly arranged desk and a toddler's room after a glitter bomb exploded. It's not about perfection. It's about the raw, unedited stuff, the thoughts that pop in and out of your head like squirrels in a park. Expect digressions, tangents, emotional outbursts (good and bad), the occasional misspelling because, hey, I'm human. I'm not aiming for a perfect essay. I'm aiming to capture... well, *life*. And life is a beautiful, glorious, slightly-disastrous mess. Take, for example, the time I tried to make a complicated cake for my friend's birthday...
Okay, so you mentioned "emotional reactions." What does that *really* mean? You gonna cry?
Look, I'm not promising a sob fest, unless you're talking about my love for puppies. (Okay, maybe I’ll get choked up.) But yeah, expect feelings. Real ones. I'm going to be honest about things that make me angry, things that make me giddy, things that make me want to crawl under the covers and eat a whole bag of chips. What really gets to me is when I... Okay I'm not going to do it here, but it's real.
Are you going to cover different categories?
Oh, yeah sure, whatever the mood, whatever the whim. Let's talk about a day in the life!
I am a bit afraid of a fire. What are you going to do?
Okay, fine, let's talk about the damn microwave fire, because I can see you judging me through the internet. It was a Tuesday. I was craving popcorn. Simple request, right? Wrong. I crammed too many kernels in the bag. I walked away to grab a soda. And then... well, let's just say the smoke alarm went off, and the microwave looked like it was auditioning for a role in a post-apocalyptic movie. The smell? Years of burnt plastic and shame. The moral of the story? Follow the instructions. And maybe invest in a decent fire extinguisher, just in case your cooking prowess is as questionable as mine.
Are you sure this will be good?
Probably not. But hey, the best adventures are the ones you stumble into, right?
