Inigtan Lio Bamboo Cottages

Staff was extremely polite and friendly made sure we were well taken care of, the location was also very vibrant and beautiful

Eine unglaublich liebe voll gestaltete Unterkunft. Es war von vorne bis hinten alles perfekt und einem tollen Urlaub konnte nichts mehr im Wege stehen. Alan hat jeden Wunsch für uns umgesetzt und die Hündin Raya hat alle Herzen erobert. Alleine wegen der Unterkunft wären wir gerne noch länger geblieben.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and special - thank you so much for that! The location - taking a break from busy El Nido and finding some peace and nature in the Jungle! It was very clean and safe around. Great value for price

Hospitality and food

Very unique stay design and experience-wise. The food was fantastic. I loved being in nature - away from the hustle handle bustle of El Nido yet close enough to get to the boat tours fast enough. They made transportation easy. They anticipated needs before I needed them. The wild pigs are awesome. I learned a lot about the local plants - they have cashew trees that the wild pigs like to eat the fruit from. The welcome dinner with a bonfire was a wind surprise!

There was a hornets nest in my cottage. They only get riled up and are noticeable if you have the lights on at night. I was getting a massage and by the end the hornets were going crazy and the masseuse couldn’t wait to get out! That was the only stressful part as well as the shower water want hot. I handled it the next day by going to bed early so I didn’t need the lights on at night.

Trop excentré, chemin pas praticable de nuit

住宿環境令人驚豔 工作人員體貼用心

有一個晚上 附近整夜有打鼓聲

Heerlijke rustige en mooie plek in jet drukke El Nido. Een gratis scooter tijdens je verblijf en super vriendelijk, behulpzaam, lief en aardig personeel.

Bamboo house, calm beautiful place, lovely people and food.

Great staff,isolated location,the dog Paya was a great added value 🤪

El personal era atento. Nos cambiaron la habitación por los problemas de la habitación

Horroroso llegar. Un camino de piedras, polvo y barro de casi dos km. Ni los de las excursiones iban a recogernos. Cuando llegas, no hay nada aparte de la habitación. Para llegar a la habitación hay que estar muy en forma. Muchísimos escalones muy altos, además de piedras que hacen el acceso relativamente peligroso. En la habitación solo cabe la cama. No hay mesillas ni sitios para dejar las cosas. Nos entraron ratas o ratones y destrozaron un bolso a mi mujer, que estaba dentro de la mochila. No tiene vistas. Nada que hacer en el hotel ni en los alrededores. No es práctico si lo que se quiere es ir a la playa o excursiones.

Die Lage ist wirklich traumhaft schön! Das Team im Hotel bemüht sich sehr um den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Uns hat am besten gefallen, dass wir privat auf unserer Terrasse frühstücken konnten. Das Frühstück war auch super!

Die offene Bambushütte ist halt nichts für schwache Nerven. Man teilt sich mit allen möglichen Tieren die Unterkunft. Diese hinterlassen dann natürlich auch ihre Spuren. Vor allem die „Forest Rat“ war sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, für westliche Verhältnisse eher schwierig. Aber damit muss man rechnen wenn man mitten in der Natur in einer offenen Bleibe untergebracht ist.

It’s a real romantic place. Cottage gives honeymoon vibes and it’s situated in a beautiful place with a wonderful view. Staff is really nice and gentle and we were amazed by welcome dinner. As the property is little far from the city center they provide pickup service and it is really professional.

Bathroom is a little exposed as curtain doesn’t cover all the room properly. The property is not easily accessible and roads are messy. If you are planning to spend the evening in El Nido better give up but you will have a nice romantic evening in the cottage instead.

This is absolutely the best choice to stay in El Nido, far away from the noise and chaos of the city , in the middle of the nature . The dirty road is absolutely not a problem, they give you scooters for free and after the first ride you fell comfortable and safe ! The cottages are pristine clean, wonderful and the bed is super comfy. The breakfast and the dinner is amazing . The best part is the Staff , everyone is so nice and professional , Jonas has been the best in organising everything, even the El Nido Tour , but we would like to give a special mention to Mesach who did a lot of effort at anytime, always with a great passion and smile . Good job guys ♥️💙

Tout ! L’emplacement, le service, le personnel ! Je recommande à 100%

Everything

Tout, vraiment tout, était parfait, le petit-déjeuner, le repas de bienvenue, les scooters mis à disposition, le cadre, le calme et le silence. Le personnel est extraordinaire. Un 10/10, et surtout un lieu idéal en cas de dépression.

Our cottage is very nice and clean. The bed is very comfortable and is decorated with fresh flowers and towels are form into an art. I love that i can take a shower with a view. Breakfast is served outside our balcony allowing us to have privacy while enjoying the nature around us. They offer free car service to drop us off to the town center and free scooters for us to use.

The road going to the property is rough and there’s no street lights at night.

Tout est SUPER : petit-déjeuner/repas excellents, service très bien, cadre magnifique pour être dépaysé et en réelle immersion dans la nature. Le cottage est bien aménagé, avec une jolie décoration. Pour les craintifs/craintives des animaux, rassurez-vous, on a croisé seulement 2 grenouilles et quelques moustiques. Un repas de bienvenu auprès du feu est offert ainsi qu’une location de scooter. Certes, l’accessibilité peut être compliqué mais, même par temps de pluie, on n’a pas été embêtés pour se déplacer. Merci à toute l’équipe pour votre service et votre écoute. Recommandé à 100% si vous passer quelques jours à El Nido !

Rien !

Da experiência e do ambiente

Da estrada até à propriedade e da própria localização

Le cadre est absolument magnifique ! Le logement, bien que perdu dans la jungle, est très propre et fonctionnel. La salle de bain a une vue sur la forêt ce qui lui donne un charme incroyable. Nous avons adoré pouvoir y passer une nuit et aurions aimé rester plus ! L'établissement nous a offert le taxi afin de venir nous chercher et nous ramener en ville le lendemain matin. Ils nous ont également préparé un petit déjeuner pour sur la route car nous devions partir très tôt.

Attention au chemin pour y accéder qui n'est vraiment pas pratique si vous prenez un tuktuk.

Struttura molto bella e curata immersa nella natura, servizi eccellenti e lo staff sempre pronto a rispondere ad ogni esigenza.

La struttura è molto bella ma situata in punto un po scomodo per via della strada sterrata, inoltre come già scritto nella prenotazione c'è qualche animale e ci siamo ritrovati escrementi nella camera però ti avvisano già di questo.

Le cadre, l’ensemble de la chambre, le personnel, la nourriture, tout était parfait. Il y a tout ce dont vous aurez besoin pour passer un excellent moment

J’ai absolument tout aimé

Das ist ein besonderer, ruhiger Platz im trubligen El Nido. Etwas ausserhalb, im Dschungel, hat man hier seine Ruhe. Die Cottages sind wunderschön, lassen sich gut schliessen und kühlen. Die Angestellten sind super nett und das Pancake Frühstück der hammer! Auch der kostenlose Scooter (ohne den gehts nicht!) ist ein super Sache. Wifi ist ebenfalls bestens vorhanden. Die Anlage wird übrigens noch erweitert: das kommt super!

Es sind Kleinigkeiten, die man für diesen Zimmerpreis m.E. noch verbessern müsste..Wassser"druck" am Wasserhahn, Wassertemperatur der Dusche, extrem weiche Matratze. Etwas schade fanden wir, dass der Pick-Up vom Flughafen umsonst ist, aber für den Transport zur Fähre satte 500 Pesos anfallen. Kosten dafür ja, aber dieser Preis schien uns unverhältnismässig hoch (im Vergleich zu allen anderen Orten unserer Reise) und hat uns drum sehr überrascht.

Das gesamte Personal ist sehr gastfreundlich. Paya, die Labradorhündin erobert alle Herzen. Jonas, der Rezeptionist, kümmert sich um alle Anliegen und betreut die Gäste des Hotels perfekt. Die Lage ist für ruheliebende Menschen ideal. Mit den Motorrollern kann man jederzeit alles einfach erreichen.

Es war wunderbar an diesem Ort zu sein.

This is a lovely spot away from the bustle of El Nido in a quiet spot in the rainforest. They will take you into town and organise excursions. There isn’t a lot to do when you are in the accommodation but relax. They provide a small complimentary meal for the first night which was very delicious and a good breakfast. The staff are lovely brr we big very welcoming and friendly. It is worth taking them up on the offer of a transfer. It is also not far from the airport. They provide free mopeds but we didn’t feel confident enough to take them up on the offer!

Nothing

As pessoas, especialmente a comida do Mike que estava sempre pronto para fazer qualquer coisa para nós, nem que fosse uma omelete. É deslocado do centro de el nido o que para nós foi ótimo porque podemos descansar. Sentimo-nos sempre seguros porque o staff dorme no mesmo perímetro

Staff was very kind, always at our disposal, very helpful and cooperative.

La qualité du service, la gentillesse du personnel.

Unique experience! The rooms were neat with bamboo all around. You could hear noises from birds and geckos around the room which is very relaxing if you like nature. The breakfast was great and the team was beyond thoughtful and accommodating! We booked a tour through them, then we decided to change to a private tour which they arranged super quickly and since we were starting very early they packed our breakfast to go without us having to ask! Never seen a better costumer service!

What I liked most was how the staff and owner treated us. They were wonderful people. Helpful, smiling, and very friendly. I highly recommend this place

Extremely road to get on place.

The staff were amazing and did everything they could to help out no matter what the time was.

Make sure you don’t mind sharing with the creatures of the jungle as you will most definitely encounter them.

Der Service war umwerfend, das Personal großartig. Es war super persönlich und alle Wünsche wurden uns erfüllt. Die Unterkunft war top. Wir haben sowohl in der Bambushütte, als auch in der Villa übernachtet. Das Essen war hervorragend und es wurde uns sogar in die Unterkunft gebracht. Alles in allem eine 10/10!

Es war einfach alles perfekt.

We really loved it here! It’s out in the middle of nowhere and it was kind of tricky to get to from town but that’s why we chose it and they offered a driving service from the hotel to the town. The whole area is beautiful and we saw loads of animals which was awesome. The staff could not have been more lovely and really made the stay wonderful.

We would have liked different options for dinner and maybe a covered area to eat when it’s raining. The first night we had a wonderful dinner by the fire pit but the second night we would have liked to be able to choose from some of the options on the menu but they were only able to offer us barbecue chicken.

Awsome place with a much different feel to the normal beach front style places. Breakfast cooked to order each morning and a free scooter to get around on. Loved every minute and the wildlife and dirt road are nothing to worry about. Best nights sleep ever. Go for it and have a bit of adventure in your life.

Everything was better than advertised and all the staff were amazing too.

Het huisje lag prachtig in het groen en was heel gezellig en schattig. De faciliteiten waren goed in orde. De locatie was wel wat afgelegen van de bewoonde wereld en na hevige regen was de weg ernaartoe lastig begaanbaar. Verder een erg mooie en rustige plek om te verblijven.

Dat de douche naast de wc zat en daardoor werd de wc steeds nat. Ook als er veel regen viel kwam dat door het dak heen bij het toilet gedeelte niet bij het bed.

De cottage was geweldig alles is er wat je nodig hebt!

De weg er naar toe was heel Slecht!

Everything excellent

Nothing

Todo genial

Nada

La amabilidad del personal.

Todo nos gustó.

Excellent and friendly staff. All transfers were free, and we could store our luggage with them. The most beautiful shower with a view I’ve ever had. Free scooters, and we were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary first dinner by the fire.

We expected to see geckos, cockroaches, and spiders at the accommodation, but what we didn’t expect was to find a spider inside the mosquito net. The net could be better sealed

The cottages are beautifully made and the staff was so kind to us. You are in the middle of the jungle which is an experience in itself so expect some wildlife. The cottage and bathroom are special

Excellent from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond - getting me meds on the first night when I was sick. Me and my partner weren’t feeling confident to ride the free motor bike they provide so they were more than happy to give us lifts to excursions or just to visit the town/local areas. Breakfast was always a treat and the unique experience being visited in the night from a cheeky gecko was quite funny. The complimentary massages were a bonus we didn’t expect. Thanks again it was a pleasure visiting.

Nothing to do with the property but more the access roads aren’t great when getting a tricycle back but if you’re using the free motorbikes this wouldn’t be an issue.

This farm stay cottage was private, comfortable and close enough to daytime activities, beaches etc by scooter, which the family lent us as part of our stay. They served us a welcome meal on our first evening and were friendly but not intrusive for our stay. Breakfasts are made to order and delivered to your cottage. You may encounter geckos in your bathroom and wake up to the sounds of myriad birds and local roosters. It was a wonderful stay. Thank you, Inigtan Family!

Best hotel that I’ve stayed in to date. Recommend this stay for people who want to truly experience a stay in a cool bamboo cottage/treehouse in the jungle with amazing staff. We had an amazing stay at Inigtan. We were welcomed by the exceptionally kind family into their home with many complementary inclusions including meals and transport. The room perfectly balanced the bamboo treehouse style with modern comforts including aircon and a nice shower. Inigtan demonstrates thoughtfulness and care in the hotel’s design and their customer service. The place looks like it does in the photos, and the owners have taken care to set expectations about things that come with rural living, like insects. Recommend accepting their offer of pickup/drop off in a 4WD. The dirt road is part of the experience - I’ve certainly driven on worse in smaller cars but the road is long and could challenge someone who hasn’t driven on unpaved roads before. Inigtan is close to the airport and worked well for us to stay after boat tours before we flew out of el nido. Food was also amazing - dinner is served by the bonfire and breakfast at the room’s patio.

Nothing! This is a well thought out hotel. The cottages have lots of steep stairs - probably not suitable for people with mobility issues, but they also have ground floor villas that could be.

This place was the highlight of our stay in El Nido, beautiful cottage, delicious food,welcoming dinner by a bonfire, outstanding service. We're definitely going back there and bringing our family to stay there with us. Special thanks to Jonas for making sure our stay was special! Everyone there was so friendly, it was wonderful and we are looking forward to go back and stay there even longer one day!

Everything was amazing, the staff is the most helpful and supportive, the bed is very comfortable and the cottage is an experience itself! But it was a very nice getaway

You will hear animals in the night and early morning, and the location is far away from the El Nido town, however it’s a relaxing place

style equipment service and views

Lovely family run business and peaceful location. The accomodation was unique and comfortable.

Location was tricky, although the family provided transport for us into town each day. The ride back was bumpy on the trike’s as the roads aren’t great.

This was such a special place for us to stay and enjoy our honeymoon. The staff here go above and beyond, happy to help with any request. They arranged us transport from Puerto Princesa, ensured we got to El Nido to depart on our expedition, all the while ensuring we had a delicious breakfast they we either enjoyed on the gorgeous front porch or was packed up for it. The cottage was just stunning, with amazing views, and was so beautifully thought out and put together. The scooter was amazing, and we loved exploring El Nido on it. We just wish we could have stayed longer

Nothing!

amazing place, nice welcome dinner, motorbike for free is a very good idea :)

A slice of paradise in the jungle

Nothing, it was all amazing

The staff were amazing and very helpful at all times. The location is spectacular, surrounded by so much natural beauty and the room was a dream. I especially loved the in room roof top hammock!

One of the best places I have stayed at. Cottages are further from the city and provide a peaceful city escape and connecting with nature. Everything was amazing and staff was the best, they were very kindand helpful. Food was delicious and service was beyond. We loved this place, atmosphere and also we felt very welcomed. I highly recommend this place when going to El nido area and I would definetely come back. Ps: thanks for the motorbike lecture

Nothing

The perfect stay for nature lovers. You feel right at the middle of the jungle, we saw many birds, squirrels and stars at night.. yes there are insects but there is a mosquito net. Free scooters. Free shuttle from airport to the place. Staff were amazing (!) we got a welcome drink and they even made us free vegetarian dinner next to a bonfire. Breakfast was great and served to the balcony.

Location is a little far from town but it was Ok for us as we stayed only one night.

Clean, easy to find and central

Staff is super nice! Overall a nice place away from the buzz.

Internet and electricity comes and goes. Proximity to other cottages is too close.

nice staff, free scooters, very calm and peacefull, awesome communication.

maybe a bit pricy.

We had a brilliant time at Inigtan, the cottages are gorgeous and you feel really connected to nature and off the beaten path. The visit was really made special by the staff who were lovely and super attentive and helpful.

Beautiful cottage in the jungle, there is a net in the ceiling which you can climb up so to see the jungle. On the first night, the family prepared a traditional meal for us which was delicious. We had a motorbike as part of the stay so we ended up spending a lot of time exploring and at Lio beach for dinner. You can also surf /yoga at Lio beach. Big thank you to Jonas and whole team- you were amazing!!

Difficult to avoid mosquito bites in the evenings although they do have a bug net around the bed which helps.

Location, environment, bath room, privacy, steady wifi, breakfast, personnel, ecological tourism, purpose and mission of the owners

Remoteness, relative priceyness

Remote area, lots of vegetation

You feel like you are inside the forest actually, also very clean and well organized

Nothing

Everything! The Inigtan family is just amazing. You’ll love spent time in this oasi away from the chaotic El Nido Town. The location is 15minutes away from the town with a bit of off-road street in the country side. They provide you a Motorbike included in the price so you are able to move around without any problem. When we arrived they picked up us for free and offered a welcome dinner. The room is just perfect and well accurate. There is hot water, soap and shampoo, wifi works pretty well and the breakfast it is serve in the morning directly in the patio of your room. We also did the laundry service and arrange the transfer to the airport with Nash at 5am. Amazing experience thanks to the staff and to the peaceful location. As described there is lots of animals that you’ll eared all the time and probably see it, so is better if you are a wild person but I can ensure that the service and the comfort of the room is the opposite of the wildness of the location.

Everything. Beautiful rooms, welcoming and friendly staff. Attentive and helpful. Food was great. Great ambience.

A little hard to find 😂

Highly recommend this place - from the reviews, we found it to be underrated. The jungle cottage is like glamping and ended up being the perfect place to spend my boyfriend’s birthday evening. The only thing that disappointed us? We didn’t have time to stay another night. We even added this to the notes, and the staff surprised us with super cute decorations to welcome him/ us for the evening. :) The staff were super friendly and helpful and offered us a welcome drink upon arrival. The cottage was beautiful and charming and very clean. The AC and hot water worked great and we loved the jungle views all around. Plus the shampoo and body wash smells amazing! Such a chic and classy and romantic interior too. There was princess-y mosquito net and comfortable bed as well, we had no problems with bugs and loved the cute cat by the campfire. And don’t forget to climb up to the lookout net in the cottage. ;) The breakfast and dinner provided were delicious and there are vegetarian options. We also enjoyed a bonfire after dinner with a nice couple also staying there for the eve. We were also able to book car transfer to the bus station in the morning. Thanks for the great stay!

We only wish the dinner portions had been a little bigger, but we also could have asked to buy snacks with our post-dinner beers.

We liked everything about our stay! The staff makes sure you feel like part of family from the first moments, they are super kind and helpful, and speak perfect english. It’s a family run place that is eco friendly and strives for sustainability. The huts are beautiful, bed very comfortable, there were no bugs inside (apart from some tiny flies) but it’s not a 100% sealed so there is a possibility of bug companions (which they highlight very clearly after you book and give you the chance to cancel). Our complimentary welcome dinner was a delicious chicken, and for breakfast there are several choices. The only thing that can be a a problem is the location and getting out of there. If you can’t drive a scooter your only option is asking the staff to give you a ride. But anyway we totally recommend staying there for at least two nights to sink into the jungle!

Everything is amazing. Property is alittle far from the center, but they provide motorbikes to go around. Is a great experience to have. Staff is incredible friendly. Highly recommended.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful ❤️ Great place to have a relaxing couple of days in a quite area. The staff was really helpful and friendly.

The road to get to the cottage wasn't very motorbike friendly and can be a problem when it's wet.

The place is located far from the touristy area, which allows you to fully disconnect and dive deep into the jungle of El Nido, even tho it’s located close to one of Lio nicest beach and to the center of El Nido (10-15 minutes away with the scooter). The room is beautiful, in the heart of the breath taking nature, including insects and little animals (be prepared to hear them at night and in the morning - for myself, being awaken by beautiful birds in the morning only made my experience there more disconnecting and beautiful (we were told in advance those animals and insects will be sharing our time there). The host and staff are so kind, the food (breakfast and welcome diner) is simple but truly tasty and the scooter useful to go around. I can only recommend it to anyone willing to have a unique (and kind of romantic) experience. I enjoyed myself very much thank you again to Jonah, his sister and everyone else.

Nothing

This place was such a gorgeous little gem in the jungle. This is a family run business and everyone was so lively and helpful. The breakfast was delivered to our room each morning, it was such a nice start to the day. There is free scooter for use so we were able to go some nice beaches around the town. The rooms were very cute and very comfortable bed.

I recommend packing very light, there’s a lot of stairs to take luggage up. We were lucky the staff help us.

It was a beautiful and unique stay - never experienced anything like this before. The room is cute and the staff were so helpful

Nothing - I will say though that if you want to partake in activities like tours or nights out then it might not be ideal for you as it is quite far out as it’s meant to be a quiet stay away from all the noise!

The host was very friendly and hospitable. The cottage was a great experience to connect with nature. It is really clean and beautiful. The insects in the room were very few, it has good protection with nets and I have had much "wilder" experiences in normal hotelrooms in the Philippines. However, the noise of the animals at night should not be underestimated, especially if someone is sensitive to noise. The food is really good there, fresh ingredients and great cooking. We also used the free scooter rental and drop-off service, all worked great.

Unique, family run bamboo bungalow on owners property. Staff did not speak much English but went above and beyond to ensure we were good at all times. Cook good breakfast and serve it at your bungalow. Welcome dinner on first night from their own farm produce. Service was excellent and love to stay somewhere personable where it is evident how much they care for their guests experience. Scooter provided as complimentary. Close to Lio beach and 15min to Main town El Nido.

Occasional power outages are noted on the listing but over 4 night stay we only experienced it on one day. This did not bother us as we went out but something to note if you are counting down on having AC or internet at all times.

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.

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.

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 :)
