I've been to the island 3 times before ,but never ventured to North shore. This last time I made the trip and it really changed my impressions about the island. For those looking for a more off the beaten track, North shore area provides a more undisturbed environment. We can hope that with the new highway connecting this area the... More

Have a beer or two with the owner. He is a grest dialog partner and fun to talk with. We were just camping next door so i cant tell you anything about the cabins. The beer is for sure the coldest on the island what is for sure hard to find in the philippines. The temperatures are so high even... More

My friends and I came across Bamboo Garden while looking for somewhere to camp. We didn't end up renting a cottage here and camped next door, however we spent the whole evening and next morning with Tom and Liz playing billiards and chatting. They are a splendid couple. Tom and Liz are really down to earth, honest people and meeting... More

We stayed at Bamboo Garden for 4 nights in January. Tom and Liz were fantastic hosts and it felt that we'd come to visit friends instead of just being at a hotel.

In fact their next door neighbor now. From the moment I pulled thru the Gate, The stressful world that... More

I told my wife Josie that this was the first time I have been to the Philippines on vacation and come back feeling so rested. It wasn't just the waves washing up on the beach, but hearing them break on the reef about a hundred yards out, just melted my stress away. Tom and Lizzy are honest and gracious hosts.... More

I stayed with Tom and Lizzy (owner-operators) at the Bamboo garden this October, and I have to say I had a really great time here. I'm an avid surfer, and the fact that there is a quality, uncrowded, right-hand reef break directly in front of the cottage is a huge bonus. It is also within easy walking distance to the... More
