Big Bamboo Beach Resort Sipalay

The location and facilities are excellent. There are plenty of places to relax. The service is very courteous and friendly. The owner greeted us personally. The food is very tasty and varied. On addition to a pool table and table football, there are also boats and surfboards to rent. All in all, a wonderful stay.

Had a great time, this place is a good value for the price. They allow you to bring one dog which is wonderful! My only significant gripe is the presence of cigarette butts all over the place - gross! Clean up those cigarette butts, spend a few minutes each day combing the sand where people sit at least.

Sugar Beach in Sipalay is a hidden gem! Big Bamboo Beach Resort is relatively small but the food is excellent and big portions! The staff is friendly and accomodating! (The dogs and cats are also very friendly.) The best thing about this place is the beach. Fine white sand, surrounded by mountains. It's an nice a beach as El Nido Palawan, but no crowds. Scuba diving, snorkelling and island hopping can be arranged nearby.

the resort was good, the place was beautiful especially the beach side and the sunser view
the resort staff was also friendly and approachable
the stay at big bamboo was worth the distance to travel

Great experience! Nice place to chill and recharge. 😁 The staff are very accommodating and friendly, food is very good and they served variety of dishes in their restaurant and I love the brewed coffee. You can also play pool/billiards or darts or kayaking. Pet friendly, I saw cute doggies 😄 No internet though but there's a prepaid Piso wifi. 😅

The hotel owner is Awesome.best place in sipalay. It's worth to visit and will definitely coming back..Thank you.

Would recommend this to anyone that’s on a budget but looking for a great place to relax and enjoy their vacation!!!

Beautiful Place to watch the sunset/sunrise to pace yourself with walking along the beach. Friendly owner and staff whom have such smiling personalities to be friends with. Food is great and good portions too. Competitive volleyball is a highlight in the area. And dont get me started on the cute dogs. Very easy to be friends with the locals as well as other guests. Definitely would comeback.

We got married in this wonderful place with super friendly staff and great accommodations and very affordable prices. We were able to rent the whole resort for our family and and wedding guests. We are planning to go back there this year for our anniversary. Highly recommended for budget travellers.

We travelled Philippines for 6 weeks and looking back I can tell that the time in Big Bamboo Beach Resort at Sugar Beach was the most beautiful one. We had the chance to play beachvolleyball or billiard, enjoy good food and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant.
The staff was friendly the owner of the hostel is a young but very professional and also entertaining person.
The nature nearby Big Bamboo is breathtaking, you can either hike or relax, snorchle or admire caves. We also made a trip one day to see the mangrove forest.
I can also tell that the rooms are comfortable and clean. We stayed in the cheapest one, which is a dorm and affordable for backpackers. But there are several private houses that seemed to be appropriate for people that look for more quiet places.
Have fun enjoying Big Bamboo, I´m sorry that I had to leave!

I traveled many places in the Visaya Islands but I never enjoyed a Resort as much as I did Big Bamboo. The stuff is not only friendly and professional they also invited us for different activities like joining a fiesta. Any time they made us feel very comfortable. The Big Bamboo offers also many games like cards, billiard, volleyball or darts so that we extended our one-night-stay up to 4 nights. Nice, cheap, quiet and relaxed place to hang out and appreciate the food, people and nature of the Philippines.

Clearly the best resort on sugar beach. I’ve came here almost 5 times in the past 4 months and every time I come it’s the best! The owner earl and his brother John are so funny!!! I highly recommend this place!

If you're looking for a cheap beach front resort this is the place ur looking for. They have big place to chill out and play around. You can also have bonfire, stargazing and have fun with ur friends while u own the whole beach at night. We came here off peak days so we felt we own the whole island. Lol Just don't expect much of the rooms. But its just fine for a budget traveler like me. 😂

A convenient, affordable, well-maintained and clean place to stay in for a short vacation with friendly and accommodating staff to top it with. They have a few air-conditioned rooms but most are fan rooms. You can bring your food and cook it in their grilling area at the back of the kitchen. You can bring your own pots and pans but you can also borrow from them. They have lounge chairs and hammocks at the beach where you can relax in. The food served at their restaurant is just the right price and can be shared by 2-3 persons. They have their own pumpboat that can pick you up from the Sipalay Environment Center and drop you off at the resort and vice versa. You can also rent the pumpboat for island hopping with snorkeling gear included at affordable prices (The Shipwreck is a must-see!). They also have kayaks that you can rent at 600/4 hrs. You can play beach volley ball and frisbee with the locals and the son's owner in the afternoon.

Big bamboo resort is so much amazing. If you want to relax, bamboo is a place for you. The people there serves you well. They are so accommodating and very much approachable. If you want to stay out of all the worries and crowded places, big bamboo is the best place for you.

Great place to stay with superfriendly host who takes good care of their guests. Nice huts and cottages in a tropical garden just along the beach. Genuin stay like in paradise.

It was great, very accommodating staffs. gonna visit again. It's a good place if you want to unwind but also saving. And affordable. Definitely will visit again. 👍

I highly recommend this lovely and beautiful resort. Nice and friendly staff also🤩

Very nice with helpful staff.You need to take a boat to reach resort though.
