If you’re coming to Siargao for surfing or just want to soak in the Cloud 9 vibe, Ocean 101 is pretty much right where you want to be. The location is unbeatable — it’s literally a stone’s throw from the famous Cloud 9 boardwalk. I could sit on the deck with my morning coffee and watch the sunrise while surfers were already out there catching waves. It doesn’t get more Siargao than that.||||The rooms are simple, nothing too fancy, but comfortable enough. Think island style — wooden interiors, basic amenities, and a cozy vibe that fits the surf culture. Don’t expect five-star luxury, but you’re not here for that anyway. You’re here for the location, the beach, and the sunsets that look like they’ve been Photoshopped.||||The food at the restaurant surprised me — portions are big (which is great after wiping out on waves all day) and the prices are reasonable compared to other nearby spots. The only thing is service can sometimes be on “island time” — you might wait a bit longer for your food, but hey, you’re in Siargao. Relax. Grab a beer, watch the waves, and remember you’re not stuck in traffic somewhere.||||What I really loved was the vibe. The resort feels social without being loud. You meet surfers, travelers, and locals hanging around, but it’s still peaceful enough to nap in a hammock. The staff were super friendly too — always smiling, always ready to help.||||Overall, Ocean 101 isn’t about luxury, it’s about location, community, and that laid-back surf lifestyle. If you want to wake up, walk a few steps, and be at one of the best surf spots in Asia, this place nails it. Just bring a little patience and a sense of humor — after all, if your breakfast takes 20 minutes, it’s just more time to stare at that insane view.||||Would I stay again? Definitely yes. Just don’t blame them if you get hooked and end up extending your stay… like I did.
