Couldn’t speak more highly of the Awake Siargao experience! We did the 7 day all inclusive surf and yoga retreat. Everything we did I could tell had been thought about with optimising the guest experience in mind. The included food choices were clearly the best on the island, extremely refreshing, refuelling and delicious. The surf coaching is tailored to your experience. The accomodation is way more comfortable than I would have expected. Having all of these aspects organised for you by the host made it so easy to relax rather than be planning and deciding :)

But overall the key standout feature to me was Rem’s and Claire’s flexibility (the hosts), and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure you get what you want out of the retreat. For me that was as much surfing as possible (and good food which was taken care of!). They didn’t hesitate to help me organise/put me in touch with the surf coaches to organise more surfing, at ideal times, with coaches picked to best suit me. I got so much out of the hours in the surf in such a short period, I was impressed. Where adjustments need to be made to the schedule, the hosts are also willing to work with you to give you what you want, which is tricky to do and not unappreciated. It makes you feel well looked after, and relaxed.

My girlfriend and I left the retreat feeling very refreshed, relaxed, and we’d had incredible fun! Couldn’t have expected more, could rave all day about it, and will definitely come back to do it again when the time is right!
