    We stayed for two nights, but on both days, there were times with no electricity (which means no internet, AC, or fan). Additionally, we didn't have hot water at all. Also, the room seems more spacious at the pictures. Actually, it is quite tiny.

    I must say that it is truly a unique place for those who want to stay very close to the pure nature of the jungle. There are a lot of birds, squirrels, and lizards, but keep in mind that some of them can easily get inside your room. However, we expected this, and it was not a problem for us. The mosquito net above the bed helps a lot, allowing for a good sleep without insects.

    The location in the jungle was really cool! The complimentary dinner was delicious and we even got a small fireplace set up next to us :) our host was incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good as well. However, if you cant stand having animals in your room such as ants or even a gecko, this is NOT your accomodation! If you are fine with that, its an incredible experience :)

    The Bamboo Cottages are in a rural and quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of El Nido, exactly what we were looking for. We received a free scooter, to reach the beautiful Lio Beach in 10 or El Nido Town in 20 minutes. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the welcome dinner with a campfire just for us. Breakfast can be ordered the evening before and is then brought to the cottage. The cottages are beautifully nestled in the nature and offer everything you need. We enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend the Inigtan Loi Bamboo Cottages to all who love to be in a quite place in contact with nature.

    We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it! This small family resort is located in the jungle, 15 minutes from the city centre. We loved the jungle sounds, here you really unwind. They offer a motorbike for free to get around. Great service by extremely friendly people.

    The road to the resort is very bumpy, and at night a bit spooky. Αt night a thieving rat grabbed our snacks and started eating them while we were sleeping.

    The resort is located deep in the jungle, and the scenery is beautiful. The resort offers a motorbike for free and adinner under the stars with a bonfire. Also offers a very simple breakfast in bed.

    From the moment we were greeted, we felt welcomed! The staff are all so lovely and such a high level of service. We truly were impressed. It is worth staying the extra 20 mins outside of the town area. We recommend anyone who would like a different experience than staying at a standard hotel. Thank you Inigtan Team!!

    Sometimes the flush doesn’t flush all the way.. and the bidet holder was a little loose and broke off. But still works tho!

    I love how very relaxing it is to stay there and very good and helpful hosts. And love the complimentary scooter. Breakfast was amazing and delicious first night welcoming dinner.

    I was a little disappointed at the cleanliness of the bathroom, there was a spiders nest in the shower head and a lot of cobwebs around that area too but what bugged me was the hair that was present on top of the shower drain. Little things that are easily missed, my partners and I have eyes for cleanliness as we work on 5* cruise ships where everything has to be immaculate. It in no way ruined the stay, it’s just an honest finding on our part.

    Beautiful views and so so peaceful. The family are lovely and had a welcome meal for us the first night, I didn’t join as I had a thumping headache. But my partner said the food was lovely. Breakfast was lovely, I chose the breakfast that came with toast but it was given toasted pandesal instead which was yummy but just be aware that somethings may be swapped out without notice and you may not get what you ordered. They messaged us asking what time we would like breakfast, they were late both times but hey you are in the Philippines and if you know you know. I don’t know if I would stay again as I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to insects and wildlife although I slept fine both nights you do hear a lot of the wildlife, especially the tuko (gecko) which is really loud 😅 and actually found it’s way into the bamboo hut but my husband got it out safely and even though I’m unsure if I would stay I would definitely recommend. We borrowed the free scooter and although we had troubles twice someone always got back to us and then helped us out.

    Hendric and his family were really accommodating and did everything to make you feel welcome at their beautiful resort. When we arrived we were greeted with complementary coconut refreshments and assistance carrying our bags up to the cottage. As the sun set we were invited to a free dinner at the garden with a big bonfire creating a romantic ambiance (don’t miss it). Be prepared for a starry sky, and a magnificent bohemian experience in the beautiful Inigtan bamboo cottages. We will be back. Elma & Mathias

    There is no communal place to relax with a view/in the jungle. Would have loved to have had a beer in a hammock somewhere given how beautiful it was up there!

    The rooms and setting are incredible. The jungle tour Jovet took us on was great

    Keep in mind you’re in the middle of a jungle and bugs and animals are all around, so just know what you’re getting into.

    Incredibly unique experience right in the middle of nature. The family and staff were super friendly and welcoming and made sure we had what we requested, including breakfast to the room, transportation, massages, and they even taught us how to play Filipino billiards.

    The first night we stayed there was very loud karaoke til 2am. Obviously not the fault of the owners but it made the experience not very relaxing and very hard to sleep. The second night was lovely and quiet, could hear the sounds of nature around us There was no safe and no locks on the doors. We were the only guests the first night, it was a little unsettling being so remote without being able to lock the door. A locking door would be great! The wifi wasn't very strong at all, but I'd imagine would be hard to get wifi in this more secluded area. It is about 20 mins out of town but the offer of scooters was very helpful

    The cottage itself was beautiful, so well put together. We loved the big bed and the hammock in the ceiling, made watching the sunset in the afternoon so relaxing. It was so nice to be surrounded by nature and we loved that we were able to use the scooter whenever we wanted to get in to town. Breakfast was so yummy! The manager and his family were so attentive, we were able to chat to them via WhatsApp which was very handy.

    There were bugs. As expected considering youre in the jungle. If you can't handle that, don't book but the mosquito net keeps the bed comfortable. If you're keen for a different experience and want to stay away from the tourist area, surrounded by real Filipino life, certainly worth a stay.

    The location is beautiful and the cottage is well done and comfortable. The bathroom was far nicer than we expected it would be. The staff are helpful and are doing something very special which is rare for their location.
