Our room was great! We would have almost slept with our heads on the beach with the terrace open if the rain/wind hadn't disturbed us every morning. Thanks for the hospitality! The owners helped us a lot with our onward journey. Even when we came back because we had an emergency, everyone was very helpful. Snorkeling was great - unfortunately only at high tide. Low tide is a bit annoying, but you sit on the beach and eat/drink your way through the menu :-) We can recommend a trip to the lake and waterfall. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any other beaches worth mentioning nearby. Probably a day trip to Apo Island would be OK - not too far from Kookoos Nest. Our offseason conclusion: Rooms/huts perfect, food perfect, beach/snorkeling perfect (if weather/water is right), people/stuff friendly!

Boat noise in the morning (5am) - some days, not always

The location is a dream and the huts are beautiful and comfy. Felt like paradise home :) The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and the stuff was really welcoming and attentive. The place is a 10/10 but the food is also incredibly good!!! Don’t forget to try the indian curry ir the kinilaw!! So good!! Recommend 100%

The Kookoo's Nest ticked all the boxes for what we were looking for..... dream location with a secluded beach, comfortable lodge right by the beach and a wonderful menu cooked to perfection. What more could you ask for. The owners Nikki and James have created an oasis that is often fully booked therefore I would highly advise booking well in advance. WiFi in our lodge was good. Free water dispenser available all day. Our lodge was right on the beach which I would highly recommend as it saves you climbing up and down the stairs (although understand the views are better from on high). The whole place has a rustic vibe in a very good way. There are many activities available to suit everyone. The restaurant alone, which is open all day is well worth visiting, as the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. We had only booked two nights but could easily have stayed for a week but unfortunately it was all booked out. (Not surprising). I would have no hesitation in recommending Kookoo's Nest to family and friends alike.

Kookoo's Nest is at the bottom of the Antulang peninsula at the bottom of Negros. It feels and is a way away from anywhere. The rooms situated discretely down a limestone cliff are made of bamboo and nippa and blend in beautifully with the trees. So well in fact that it felt like my own spacious tree house, with stunning views across the Sulu Sea. It was magical, the food was unbelievably good and I was made to feel instantly at home by Jamie and Nikki who own the Nest. It was a relaxed and wonderful escape from my normal city life.

The wifi at the eco lodge wasn't working too well when I stayed, although I enjoyed being out of touch. Jamie had fixed it by the time I left.

Great location and unique stay. Good food, not that expensive

Not enough storage in the room, had to leave bags on the floor

It's a wonderful little resort in the extreme south of Negros. Just by its remote location it stands out from the rest. The owners made big investments to make this place real nice. The villas above the beach are just superb! The food of the restaurant it excellent and the communal dinners at the long table are great! There is a lot to like about this place and it's the most paradise like resort we stayed at during our Philippines trip!

It's not the fault of the resort or the owners, but there is an overfishing problem in the south of Negros. The fishing fleet is harboured just around the corner and there is lots of fishing activities directly in front of the resort, which can be quite disturbing! Sometimes the fishing vessels leave in the middle of the night and wake you up by their loud engines. Also spearfishers frequently come during the night and kill what's not been caught during the day.

The location is great. However, the room was not really clean, it's dusty, not to mention the lizard poops. I am allergic to dust so it's hard. The staff was not so friendly. The loud noise of the fishing boat engines disturbed the supposed peaceful sleep at night. The food is good. However there was a time when they served uncooked Chicken adobo and it was disgusting after the recook. I will probably go back I hope they'll improve especially the cleaning.

The dusty room. Dirty hammock.

Great location on the beach! Staff and owners were very helpful. They even helped us organsie transport too and from Dumagete station, as well as a day trip to Apo island. The bungalows were so lovely and private, and my partner and I loved staying there. It was very peaceful and a great place to start our trip! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway where they don't have to lift a finger!

N/A

You feel close to the nature, sleeping in a bamboo hut. The hosts, Nicky and James are very welcoming and helpful and offered me to dive with them. The restaurant menu is varied. The sunsets are breathtaking. You can also snorkel right in front of the resort and see amazing species.

Cold shower but of well it’s refreshing! If you’re a solo traveller, taking a car from Sibulan airport to the property is a bit pricey. I took a trike but it was really struggling so not a good option.

This was an amazing spot. The bamboo villas were beautiful with amazing views. At the end of their private dock, there is an amazing reef to snorkel. I'd say this reef was a equally impressive if not better than Apo island. I spent many hours snorkeling there. The food selection was enormous and of high quality, it was delicious. Very quiet and private. A great place to relax.
