    Perfect breezy oceanfront cabin with view.

    Nothing really but AC is very loud. Might want earplugs.

    The oceanfront cabins are just perfect. Beautiful, simple interior with attention to detail. A beachside patio with ample furniture, table, chairs, swing seat, long chair and hammock. Beautiful breeze and shade! Great place to relax and read a book. The staff, especially Lynn, is so kind and helpful. We had an incident with a sea urchin and she helped us procure a jug of vinegar and other items we needed to deal with the mishap. The cabin is located in front of the beginner surf break so easy access or good viewpoint to watch. The area has lots of really good places to eat within a 10 min walk. And bring water shoes!

    Everything was perfect

    I can’t recommend this place enough. One of the nicest places we have stayed in the Philippines. Our beach front cottage was fabulous. A stunning view and the cottage was total luxury. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was powerful and hot. There were lots Of special little touches that puts this resort way above others. We had an endless supply of chilled fresh drinking water refilled every day. We had a kettle with unlimited tea and coffees In our room and a fridge to keep everything cool. The aircon and fan worked perfectly to keep our cottage nice and cool. The hospitality of the owners MJ and George is outstanding, george is very helpful and informative recommending the local beautiful sights to visit on motorbikes they can rent you. It’s very close to the best swimming beach on the Island and only waterfall on the island. The staff are wonderful, always happy and smiling and the place is spotless. It’s a perfect spot for those wishing to learn to surf or just watch the experts riding the waves. It’s a total paradise and delightfully relaxing compared to busy GL We will definitely be coming back any time we are visiting Siargao.

    One of my favorite hotels in Philippines! Room is very clean, spacious and well equipped (kettle, coffee, tea, water refill, fridge), staff is kind and helpful (they support in organizing surfing class or motorbike rental), location on the beach is priceless (however you need a motorbike to move around). I'd stay there again

    The location of my bungalow with direct access to the beach was amazing. The grounds are beautifully kept and the whole vibe is friendly and relaxed. The staff are so friendly and so helpful with any request. This was before my flight back to Manila was cancelled. I contacted George who found me a booking and then came to the airport and picked me up! Above and beyond. Could not recommend this place enough. I will be back.

    One of the best in Pacifico
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    • Stayed 4 nights

    Booked a pick up from the port, but then the car was not available because of an island tour. On hot days you have to switch on your aircon early if you want to sleep. AC mainly produces noise and is not cooling a lot. There is no door to the bathroom, so also the bathroom has to be cooled by the small AC

    I think it is one of the best options to stay in Pacifico. The bungalow was nice but it was behind the beach road. Lot of options to relax on the terrace. The restaurant was good.

    I wish there were windows or screens in the doors so that you can sleep without the AC.

    Awesome location by the beach in Pacifico. If you can get the beach front, get that, else you'll also be happy with the garden view rooms. The rooms are spacious and has the amenities you would need for your island adventure.

    The location was perfect! It's located in a small barangay called Pacifico not too far from the airport, but fairly far from the island's main city of General Luna. The two beach cottages are located right on the beach, where you can take surfing lessons.

    The entire cottage has no doors inside, so little privacy if you're in the bathroom. Also, the door and window can't be fully closed, so the airco has a hard time getting the room chilled.

    We liked the well built cottage, with nice bed and shower, and the green plants on the terrain. Also, waking up and walking into the gorgeous beach is incredibly beautiful. Also, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and they make a great mango curry!

    Bamboo Surf Beach exceeded our expectations in every way

    We recently wrapped up our trip to the Philippines with a stay at Bamboo Surf Beach, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. This hidden gem nestled in Siargao turned out to be the perfect place to conclude our adventure. First and foremost, the location was a dream. It struck the ideal balance - not overly crowded, yet with enough nearby restaurants and shops to ensure a pleasant stay. Surrounded by stunning beaches and offering the perfect starting point for scooter rides around the island, Bamboo Surf Beach provided us with an authentic and serene experience. Our room was very comfortable and clean, with a great bathroom and all the necessary equipment provided. Wonderful attention to detail - decorations, flowers, pillows, drinking water for brushing teeth near the sink. The well-maintained garden added a touch of natural beauty, and we appreciated the diverse seating options on our porch - from a comfortable sunbed to cozy chairs and a swing chair. A special mention goes to our host, George, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. When our flight from Siargao was unexpectedly canceled, leading to a missed connection back to Europe, George displayed exceptional kindness. Without hesitation, he offered us an extra night's accommodation for free and upgraded us to a room with a sea view, turning a challenging situation into a memorable experience. His warmth and generosity were truly heartwarming and very much appreciated. In conclusion, Bamboo Surf Beach exceeded our expectations in every way. The perfect blend of comfort, charm, and exceptional hospitality, this resort stands out as a true gem. If you're looking for an unforgettable stay, look no further - Bamboo Surf Beach is undoubtedly the best accommodation in Siargao!

    Everything was perfect and couldn’t have been better!

    Bamboo was so amazing. I traveled with my wife and small one year old daughter from Hawaii. The staff were so kind and accommodating. The rooms were very beautiful and stay cool during the hot days. Shower and bathroom were a dream, and the beds were extremely comfy. The staff provided all the amenities you would need plus more! Our accommodations were extremely close to the beach, surf rentals, and shops. The restaurant provided amazing food and drinks as well. I’m a regular visitor to siargao and I will not be staying anywhere else, this is my permanent home away from home thank you everyone at bamboo for giving my family an amazing experience!

    A nice location in the north of the island. Clean and modern accommodation. The warm welcome and pleasant staff. They helped with whatever you need like arranging mopeds or rides. The good food! The owner was super friendly and tried to connect with each of his guests. Overall, a great place to relax and explore the northern part of the island!
