Great stay and would happily return.
Pros:

Had a great stay here, even though it was only for one night. The room was comfortable, well presented, and we slept like a dream. The view was beautiful and the whole place had a lovely feel to it. Big thanks to Apple for being so friendly and helpful. She showed us around and explained everything we needed to know. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. Would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay again.

Alles Perfekt
Pros:

Alles,
Wir hatten einen perfekten Aufenthalt in der Lodge. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und geräumig und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Es gibt im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften gratis frischen Kaffee, Trinkwasserspender, Regenmäntel und alles, was man sonst für einen unbeschwerten Aufenthalt braucht.
Die Lage der Unterkunft ist perfekt zum Surfen, denn es sind auch fußläufig Surfspots (bzw. die Bootsablegestelle Kanaway) erreichbar.
Tim und sein Team sind extrem bemüht, alle Wünsche zu erfüllen. Bspw. haben sie uns einen Transport vom und zum Flughafen organisiert.
Besonders hervorheben möchte ich noch Julius, der unseren Aufenthalt mit seiner offenen und netten Art perfekt gemacht hat.
Abschließend möchte ich erwähnen wie praktisch es war, dass man bei FatLips nicht nur schlafen kann, sondern auch Mopeds und Surfboards ausborgen kann.
Wir kommen wieder. 100% Empfehlung.

Comodidad y tranquilidad
Pros:

Cama grande y cómoda. Agua embotellada a disposición dentro de la habitación. Instalaciones nuevas. Baño cómodo.
El agradable trato de Tim, dispuesto a contestarte en todo lo que necesitas incluso cuando no estaba presente! Disponen de servicio de alquiler de motos.

Cons:

Por decir algo... es un problema generalizado el tema de apagones por la noche, aun así hay un generador que ayuda en estos casos.
También la entrada hasta llegar al hotel con los baches llenos de agua que dificulta el acceso, menos mal que apenas llego a llover en nuestra estancia.
Por supuesto, el aire acondicionado hace muchísimo ruido, algo a lo que te acostumbras si estas muchos días en filipinas...

Warmest welcome of the Island
Pros:

The owner Tim is very helpful and friendly, as well as his team!
The location in the back road makes it quiet but still in the center of Cloud 9 and next to the beach and a lot of restaurants.
The guide book Tim wrote was very complete and made you navigate smoothly in Siargao.
Highly recommend this accommodation!

Tim is the kind of legend who enhances your faith in travel — and the lodge is pure magic.
Pros:

Fat Lips Surf Lodge is a gem — cozy, perfectly located, and dripping with surf vibes. But the real soul of this place is Tim, the owner.

The lodge itself is spotless, the beds are comfy, and honestly, I’d come back just for Tim’s hospitality. He treats guests like old friends.

If you want heart, soul, and a guy who’ll lend you his own board so you don’t miss the swell — book Fat Lips. Forever grateful. 🤙🏄‍♂️

Pros:

Perfect accomodation, the lodge situated in very quiet place, surraunded by rustic houses, for sure you will hear roosters and dogs but it is much better than hastle road. Two lovely dogs live there - Mia and Tiger, they are so friendly, affectionate, are always in a good mood. The room is spacios, there is everything for comfortable stay and work remotly, the desk and the chair are the best, shared kitchet is avaliable. Tim is an amazing host ans super nice man, please spend time and learn his detailed 72 pages guide from the oficial web, you won't be regret, it really help during stay in Siargao.

Cons:

Nothing
