Overview
Residencia Diosa is a quiet place in green surroundings on Siquijor's west coast, about a six-minute walk from Tubod Beach and within easy reach of Maite. The rooms are described as spacious, and the setting feels tucked away from the road traffic.
This is a good match for anyone who plans to spend most of their time in the water. Snorkelling and dive spots are close by, so you can be on the reef early and back for a rest in the heat of the day without needing transport.
Highlights

- Easy access to Maite Beach
- Spacious rooms

Location
Tubod's marine sanctuary, just offshore, is one of Siquijor's best places to snorkel: the reef starts in shallow water, with soft corals, reef fish and, if you're lucky, turtles. Maite's sanctuary is a little further along the coast and is similar in character.
San Juan's dive shops run boat trips to other reefs around the island, and the town's cafés and the spring pool at Capilay are a short ride away. Sunset is best from the beaches facing west, such as Paliton and Solangon.
