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!

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.

Great place for unwinding and for staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The owners, staff, doggos and even other guests were nice and friendly. Perfect for people who love chasing sunsets. ☺️

The location is amazing. The food was delicious. The staff were attentive and helpful. James and Nicky are amazing hosts, kind and helpful. You are in nature, basically.

It is a beautiful place - quiet and lovely. The food is good and very reasonably priced. The owners are so friendly and nice. My room was on the beach.

The Location, the staff and the Food is really awesome .

The food was disappointing, to say the least. They clearly need a skilled cook. The worst part? They used heavily reused oil for my omelette, which left it dark and full of unpleasant residue. Definitely not appetizing—yikes! (Note: I’ve been here over 10 times, and the food is consistently the same every time—no improvement.

The place is relaxing.

The fishing boats are little loud in the morning 😏 So stand up early and enjoy your day 😊

We like the place.The owner and staff are very friendly and the food is very very delicious and fresh. Every bungalow is special and has a beautiful view of the ocean 🌊

The dusty room. Dirty hammock.

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.

was expecting the ramp, they should put on the property info that there are certain seasons they have to remove the ramp, that was the reason i booked it for our anniversary getaway but nevertheless everything was great

i like the beach and staffs were great and the food

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

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!

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.

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 restaurant was a bit slow

Such a beautiful spot, the bed was nice, the fan worked well so the temperature at night was perfect and the beach was super nice

The Filipino breakfast menu could be improved . Serve daing, bulad, and lugaw. The good stuff should be there.

Great view and value for money. I wouldn't dream of going to other places like Boracay, Cebu, or Palawan anymore. This is my happy place. Food was also great and tasted like the comfort food I know and love. Most of all, where do you get a gorgeous view, a spacious cottage, for no more than $40 a night?!

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.

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!
