About Kalipay

Kalipay means Happiness in the local dialect of Bisaya and happiness is what we are all about.  Primarily this is what we aim to ensure our restaurant and resort guests experience here, but we also work to promote staff wellbeing and happiness, and believe a happy team means happy guests!

Welcome tumblers for guests at Kalipay Resort Siargao

Looking after the Planet

Siargao is a protected landscape and seascape & we need to respect that we are on a small island in the Pacific.  We ask our guests to assist us in preserving the environment here.

Some of the things we do include encouraging guests not to use single use plastic like disposable bottled water and take away containers. We provide free water gallons in rooms and re-usable steel drinking tumblers for all guests to fill & take out with them.  

We have waste segregation trash bins in the rooms to separate plastic, metal, glass etc for recycling. We have locally made shopping baskets for guests to take out with them, to avoid plastic bags.  All the bean bags in rooms are filled with locally generated recycled plastic and our bathroom soaps are offcuts and Philippine produced.
