Escape to Paradise: Wilde Room's Unforgettable Siargao Getaway (Room for 2)
Escape to Paradise: Wilde Room's Unforgettable Siargao Getaway (Room for 2)
Siargao's Siren Song: Will Wilde Room's "Escape to Paradise" Actually Deliver? (A Brutally Honest Review)
Okay, folks, let's be real. Siargao. That Instagram-perfect paradise. The one that promises endless waves, golden sunsets, and… well, escape. I recently dove headfirst into the "Escape to Paradise: Wilde Room's Unforgettable Siargao Getaway (Room for 2)," and I'm here to spill the tea. Prepare for a rollercoaster, because trust me, it was one. Buckle up.
First, the Basics (Because, Gotta Have 'Em):
- Accessibility: Listen, I tried to find details on accessibility. But it was like trying to wrestle a piglet online. I'm betting this ain't the spot if you need full wheelchair access. I'm not able to definitively confirm, but I'd recommend calling ahead and having a serious chat about your needs.
- Internet: YES! FINALLY! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms. Thank the heavens. They had internet, LAN and wireless in room and in public areas, finally something in line with my needs.
- Cleanliness & Safety (The COVID Chronicles): This is where Wilde Room shines. Anti-viral this, daily disinfection that, individually-wrapped everything, staff masked and gloved… They. Didn't. Mess. Around. I felt genuinely safe. Big thumbs-up.
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Okay, let's talk food. They had a ton of options. The buffet, though, was a bit… predictable. The real wins? The Asian breakfast was a revelation, and the coffee shop? Pure bliss. The poolside bar… now that was where the magic happened. More on that later…
Now, Let's Get Into the Good Stuff: (And the Occasional Side-Eye)
The Wilde Room Experience:
The "Wilde Room" itself? Let's just say it wasn't exactly a minimalist haven. It was more… maximalist. But in a good way? The decor felt genuinely thought-out, not just cookie-cutter hotel blandness. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver (hello, early mornings and jet lag!). The bed? Glorious. Extra-long, comfortable, and just perfect for collapsing into after a day of surfing or, you know, simply existing in paradise. (I needed a lot of existing on this trip.)
My Poolside Revelation (And a Near-Disaster):
Okay, remember that poolside bar I mentioned? This is where the "escape" really hit its stride. Picture this: I'm sprawled on a sun lounger, cocktail in hand (and yes, they had a delightfully potent happy hour), the sun kissing my skin, and the pool twinkling invitingly. I was IN HEAVEN, people. Pure, unadulterated, vacation bliss.
Then came the near disaster. I took one too many steps back and almost fell into the pool. Fortunately, I was able to catch my balance and avoid a very public and humiliating plunge. I survived, but the near-death experience made the entire experience better somehow.
Amenities and That Whole "Relaxation" Thing:
Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: I am not even gonna try. The spa was closed. So, I had to resort to things that would help me relax, such as the swimming pool.
Fitness Center: I walked by it. Once. From the outside, it looked… functional. Let's leave it at that.
Services and Conveniences (The Stuff That Makes Life Easier):
- Daily Housekeeping: Efficient, friendly, and they left little chocolates on the pillow. (Small gestures win hearts!)
- Concierge: Helpful, always. They managed to make a bad situation into a good one and I was thankful.
- Air Conditioning: Essential. Seriously, Siargao is HOT.
Getting Around & Practicalities:
- Car Park [free of charge]: The Car park was available.
- Airport transfer: Available.
Overall Vibe:
Look, "Escape to Paradise" isn't flawless. It's a bit rough around the edges, and the "unforgettable" guarantee… well, that's subjective. But the Wilde Room does have a unique charm. It's the kind of place where you can relax, soak up the sun, and feel like you're actually doing something with your vacation time. And that's a win in my book.
My Recommendation & Target Audience:
Who SHOULD book: Millenials and Gen X looking for a chill Siargao base. Individuals who will use the pool/bar. People seeking a genuine beach-like experience.
Who might be disappointed: People looking for pure luxury, or are sensitive about accessibility.
The Verdict: 4 out of 5 stars. Would I go back? Absolutely. Especially if I could spend every afternoon at that poolside bar, narrowly avoiding a plunge into the pool.

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your sanitized, pre-packaged travelogue. This is the messy, sun-kissed reality of a trip to Bards Nest in Siargao, focusing on the WILDE ROOM. And yeah, it's for two of us… hopefully, we're still talking by the end.
Siargao Swagger: Bards Nest & Beyond – A Love Story (and Maybe Some Seasickness)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Coconut Hunt (aka, Attempting Not to Mess Everything Up Immediately)
- Morning (like, REALLY morning - 4:00 am flight, ugh): Cebu Pacific. Need I say more? Pray to whatever deity you believe in that the flight isn't delayed. (Spoiler: It probably will be. Airlines, man.) Arrive in Siargao. My first thought? "WHERE'S THE AIRPORT?" It's tiny. Like, a glorified shed. But the air? WHOA. That island air. Already, a good sign.
- First Impressions: Pick up our bags, which miraculously survived baggage handling. Immediately hunted down a tricycle. Negotiating the price felt like a blood sport. We got fleeced, I'm sure. But hey, we made it.
- Midday: Bards Nest – The WILDE Room Unveiled: The tricycle rumbles along the dirt road. We arrive at Bards Nest. Oh my GOD, it's even prettier than the photos. Seriously. The WILDE Room… Okay, okay, deep breath. It's got the vibe. Boho-chic, bamboo everything, a balcony practically begging for a sunset beer. But first, unpacking. Which is always a disaster. I mean, where do you even start?
- The Afternoon: Coconut Apocalypse: We've heard the legends. Fresh coconuts are the elixir of life in Siargao. We’re on a mission. We find a local lady selling them. She expertly hacks them open. We clink them together in a 'cheers' and drink, eyes closed, like we’re in a commercial, but its taste feels like the purest form of heaven. This moment right here… I could live on coconuts water forever.
- Evening: Dinner Disaster (But Delicious) & Sunset Spectacle: Dinner at a local carinderia, the name escapes me, all I know, the food was incredible. Simple, fresh fish, rice… absolutely divine. And then, the SUNSET. Oh. My. God. The sky exploded in oranges, pinks, and purples. I think I actually cried a little bit. (Don’t tell anyone.)
Day 2: Cloud 9 & The Surfboard Struggle (and Maybe a Tantrum)
- Morning: Coffee & Cloud 9 Dreams (and Reality Checks): Coffee at a little cafe overlooking the beach. The view? Stunning. The coffee? Strong. (Thank god.) Today, we tackle Cloud 9. It’s THE iconic spot.
- Late Morning: Surfboard Struggle (The Tantrum Era Begins): So, surfing. My partner, let's call them "R" has surfed before, I haven't. I’m optimistic. (Foolish, naive optimism.) We borrow boards. I fall. A lot. I swallow half the ocean. I get sand in every crevice. I scream internally. I might have let out a few louder, whimpery sounds. R is surprisingly patient. (Bless them).
- Afternoon: The Great Retreat (and Recovery): I retreat to the shade, defeated. We grab lunch at a beachfront cafe. I consume about five mango shakes and attempt to regain my dignity.
- Evening: Fish Fry & Friendship: We met this couple in the water. After the waves nearly broke me, they offered to fry up some fish to share over sunset. They told us stories of their travels. We ate it up, the fish and the friendship.
Day 3: Island Hopping & Unexpected Adventures (and More Sunburn)
- Morning: Island Hopping, Island Hopping, Island Hopping We booked a boat trip. Daku Island first! (The sand is like flour.) Naked Island next! (Which is really just a sand bar, but that's the magic of it.) Guyam Island last! (So many hermit crabs! They're adorable.) The water is crystal clear. The sun is relentless.
- Afternoon: The Great Seafood Feast: At the last island, we devoured grilled seafood. Huge prawns. Buttered lobster. The works. By the time we were done, we were stuffed and sleepy and covered in sand.
- Evening: Star Gazing & S'mores: Back at Bards Nest, we buy some s'mores supplies. We build a fire on the beach – or at least, we try to. (I may have set some marshmallows on fire. Oops.) We lie on the sand, gazing at the stars. It’s quiet. It's beautiful. We're happy.
Day 4: Rest Day (aka, Embracing the Lazy, Sleepy Life)
- Morning: Sleep in. A lot. Order room service. The WILDE Room is the exact right place for all of this.
- Afternoon: Spa day! (Needed after surfing, of course.) Seriously, a massage is essential. It was so good I might have almost fallen asleep while getting it.
- Evening: A final, amazing meal, just the two of us. Replaying the best and funniest memories.
Day 5: Departure (and the inevitable emotional breakdown)
- Morning: The dreaded packing. Goodbye, beautiful WILDE Room. Goodbye, perfect sunsets.
- Goodbye: I'm not going to lie. I'm already planning my return. Siargao, you have my heart. And my sunburn. And a whole bunch of memories I'll never forget.
- The Final Thought: This hasn't just been a vacation. It was a reminder to be present, to embrace the messy moments, and to find joy in the simple things. (And to maybe, just maybe, learn how to surf.)
P.S. Pack more sunscreen. Seriously. And maybe a spare pair of pants. You'll thank me later.
Depok's BEST Studio: Simply Studio Margonda Residence 3! (Travelio)
So, what *is* this "Unforgettable Siargao Getaway" thing anyway? Sounds awfully dramatic.
Okay, okay, "unforgettable" might be a slight exaggeration, depending on how much rum you consume (which, let's be honest, is likely a fair bit). But seriously, this is about a room for two at the Wilde Room, which is part of Escape to Paradise in Siargao. Think sun, surf, and potentially a gnawing sense of existential dread after staring at the endless ocean. Don't judge. The island's that kind of place. It's geared towards couples or best friends who are ready to get their fill of sun, sand and some of the best waves in the world. Or, you know, just get away from your life for a few days. Whatever floats your tiny, slightly sunburnt boat.
Is the Wilde Room actually *wild*? Like, should I expect jungle animals in my bathroom?
Hah! Wild in the sense that it's beautifully designed, with that "beachy chic" aesthetic everyone's obsessed with. Think natural wood, maybe some macrame, and enough space not to accidentally elbow your partner in the ribs while you're trying to reach the mosquito spray (trust me, you'll need it). No, you won't find a monkey swinging from your showerhead. Unless, of course, *you* bring one. But, um, I wouldn't recommend that. They tend to be a bit moody. Also, the AC unit is a lifesaver. Seriously. Siargao heat is no joke. I remember this one time, I thought I was melting into a puddle of existential sweat before the cool air hit me. Pure bliss.
The room's for *two* people. What if I want to go solo? Is it a disaster?
Okay, so, I went solo. Yep, booked the "Room for 2" for *me* (and my crippling need for solitude). Did it feel a little… awkward at first? Maybe. Did I look like a lonely weirdo eating breakfast by myself? Probably. BUT! Let me tell you, it quickly became *glorious*. More space to spread out, no snoring, and I got to hog all the pillows. Look, if you're comfortable being alone, it's fantastic. Siargao is a great place to reset. You can join group surf lessons or hang out at cafes and meet people. Or, become one with your book and the ocean. It's your call.
Surfing. I’m… not a surfer. Am I doomed?
Absolutely not! Believe me, I'm mostly a "spectator of the ocean" type. Siargao is more than just surfing. There are so many other things to do! You can: explore lagoons, like, the magical ones; island hop (Daku is a must!); eat your weight in fresh seafood (the tuna is insanely good); go stand-up paddleboarding in supposedly crystal-clear water (somehow, I still fell in); or simply lounge on the beach with a book and a cold drink. My non-surfing friend, she LOVED the island. More time for her to relax and explore, you know? Don't let the waves intimidate you.
Tell me about the food. Is it all… expensive Instagrammable smoothie bowls?
Okay, confession time: I did eat a smoothie bowl. Or two. Or three. But, the food scene in Siargao is actually pretty diverse! You *can* find those trendy cafes with the aesthetically pleasing breakfast (which are delicious, by the way), but there are also plenty of local eateries serving up amazing Filipino food at a fraction of the price. Think fresh grilled fish, adobo, and lechon. The street food is delicious too. Don't be afraid to try stuff! Seriously, some of the best food I had was from a tiny roadside stall. And the fruit shakes? Heaven. Just…heaven.
The island is beautiful, right? But what about… other things? Like, what about the vibes?
Okay, the vibes. This is important. Siargao has a very relaxed, come-as-you-are kind of vibe. People are generally friendly and laid-back. You can walk around in your swimsuit all day (though, maybe throw on a cover-up if you're going to a restaurant). There's a strong sense of community, which is lovely. But, it's also a party island. Not like, Ibiza-level, but there are bars and parties and people drinking and dancing until the wee hours. So, choose your poison. Do you want to chill on the beach and watch the sunset? Or do you want to rage with your friends? Or, like me, do you want *both*? Because you *can* do both.
What's the biggest letdown about this trip? Be honest!
Okay, honesty time. The Wi-Fi. It’s…spotty. Like, "dial-up in the 90s" spotty. Embrace the digital detox, folks. You'll thank me later. Also, the mosquitos. They are relentless. Bring the heavy-duty bug spray. If you don't, you'll become a walking buffet. And if you're planning to work remotely, good luck. Seriously. That pristine beach will become a constant distraction. But that's the point, right?
Anything else I should know? Like, what did you *really* love?
Okay, the best bit. The *sunsets*. They are freaking phenomenal. I mean, I've seen sunsets before, but these… they're something else. Every single night, the sky explodes into color. Pink, orange, purple, gold… it's like a painting. One time, I sat on the beach, beer in hand, watching the sun sink below the horizon, and I swear, I almost cried. Not even kidding. It was just… so beautiful. And the feeling of pure, unadulterated peace? Worth the entire trip, mosquito bites, and patchy Wi-Fi combined. Go. Just go. Seriously.
