Here’s the one spot we genuinely recommend in San Juan.
If there is one bar we will remember from Siquijor, it is CocoRico, without hesitation. As soon as the sun goes down, the place comes alive with DJ sets, beer pong and an easy-going atmosphere where it is incredibly simple to meet both other travellers and plenty of locals. We spent several of our best evenings in the Philippines there. Between the cocktails, the beautiful sunsets facing the sea and all the people we met, every night had something special about it. It is the kind of place you go to for one drink and somehow end up staying all evening. For us, CocoRico is much more than a bar: it is one of our favourite addresses in Siquijor, and even one of our favourite bars of the whole Philippines trip.
San Juan, Siquijor, Philippines
First boat between Cebu and Bohol, then a second to Siquijor, before another twenty minutes of tuk-tuk to reach San Juan, and upon arrival, with the sunset welcoming us to the coast, we already feel that we are going to love this place. Siquijor still remains an island relatively untouched by mass tourism, with a much more authentic and relaxed atmosphere…
