Siargao Island has once again made headlines by becoming the world’s top island destination in recent years, beating the heavy contenders, Boracay and Palawan. Although many people think Siargao is overrated, in my opinion, it can pretty much hold its own against other well-known destinations in the country. With the rise of Siargao Island to fame came hotels and resorts popping up one after the other to accommodate the ever-growing number of tourists coming to visit the island.
