Ideal for relaxation, solitude

Reviewed Mar 4, 2014
If you need a relatively low-key, secluded location for a weekend get-away, Bamboo Beach is a great option. The resort is nestled in the hillside at Daluruan, across the bay from Muelle, with some excellent views of the water.

The Couples room we stayed in was comfortable, breezy, and well-maintained. In the morning, it felt sufficiently balmy, even with just an ordinary electric fan to cool us. The kulambo (mosquito net) kept the bugs away.

The service wasn't always perfect (for example, upon arriving in Puerto Galera, we couldn't get in touch with the staff, to arrange a boat transfer from Muelle). However, the staff were generally willing to make up for any glitches we experience; overall, they were friendly and accommodating.

There were some minor cleanliness issues with the bathroom: dirt in the sink, used soap left over from the previous guests.

The complementary breakfast was filling, if a bit unremarkable.

But really, these are just petty quibbles. The relaxed vibe and glorious bay views make up for it.

Just one word of caution: it takes several (costly) trips to get from here to White Beach, and back. If you're after some heavy-duty partying in that area, especially late at night, you might be better off staying elsewhere.

Pros:The resort is comparatively cheap, the staff are friendly, it's a secluded place which is really great if you want to relax
Cons: Rooms aren't very clean, no restaurant and you will have to buy food (you can cook the food, or have the staff cook them for you).

If your in a trip for beach bum mode this place may not be right for you. Very far from everything, night life in puerto galera is located in white beach or sabang. To go to white beach you need to take a boat to muelle which cost 250 per trip and doubles after 6 pm. From muelle port, ride a 150 php trike to white beach. If your into late night beach party, staying in white beach would be best. Though swimming in area would be difficult since waves may be very strong.

Back to the resort, rooms were dimly lit and linens were quite soiled. Towels provided were also torn. No restaurants or food stalls around the area. Swimming isn't also recommended in the area because of the rough sea floor. It a very secluded place since the only way going to the resort is by boat. Some good points about the resort is if your into a nice quiet place this place may be good for you. Also, free breakfast may be availed anytime during the day but its just a piece of ham, fried egg and 3 pcs halved white bread which didn't satisfy us after a tiring swim in the sand bar and snorkeling along the coral reserves. Overall, I do not recommend this place if your in puerto galera for a good swim or a great night life.

simple, no frills, away from all the noise. ideal for travellers seeking peach and 'me or us time' on an island...the sea bed is rough..not ideal for swiiming..you can consider going to other nearby beaches though....the location is right on the beach, if you bargain well...a nice cheap cheerful deal is definately on the way..like i got, even on a long weekend

Very basic, cheap accommodation. Definitely not 5 star but great location if you like quiet, staff lovely, food good and reasonable. Rooms cheap and clean, some with shared bathroom. Very close to really nice beachfront Italian restaurant as well.
