We loved staying at Forest Camp! It was rugged and authentic with cute rooms and amazing views. There are some serious stairs but don't let that discourage you. The views are worth it. And what really makes it is Di and Rio. These two are such a valuable addition to the property and will do whatever it takes to make sure you are taken care of. We were able to book a boat tour morning of and had a great time. Di, we love you!

This was such a gem, the ultimate backpackers haven. The cabins are rustic and there is a fair hike up to your room, but what you get is the most stunning view you could ever imagine. The staff is super friendly and breakfast is included. Take your coffee and breakfast in an amazing setting, one of the best views in my life. Enjoy

The photos of the dining area are very deceptive nothing like the pictures, when we arrived around 3pm I was told that they over booked and we could have a room in the house, when I’d paid for 2 huts for the experience. They did ask the guests already given those rooms to move, which they kindly did. I was the asked if I wanted a return taxi to the airport so we booked the day before only for it never to turn up … it’s a pretty steep walk up with your luggage and no one really around to help you … probably one of the worst stays I’ve had in a long time … great concept and the views are amazing but badly run!

The views from Forest Camp view are amazing! Especially the morning during breakfast. However the toilets and bathrooms are not very clean! We did not enjoy using them. Also the breakfast could be much better.

Forest Camp is a small “glamping” style site located a little off the beaten path. About a 15 to 20min walk into El Nido town but with a few basic shops and eateries within 10min. Be prepared for a camping style experiences with few ‘luxuries’. + Amazing view of the bay including Cadlao and Helicopter islands + Friendly and helpful staff + Quiet location + Fun unique escape + Free Breakfast + Lots of potential with some additional TLC and expansion of facilities - We didn’t have warm water for showering during our entire stay (And zero water pressure at times too). - LOTS of steps every time you want to come or go (also not easy with luggage) - Toilet and shower facilities not particularly clean. - Lots of sand, dirt and noise from on-site construction (should be mostly complete by early 2024) - Slow communication - Inside of cabins can get very hot (luckily we had two fans that mostly worked) Also, be aware that if you have a fear or dislike of creepy crawlies and insects, you may want to avoid this place! As expected on the hillside of the forest, it is teaming with insects, spiders, ants, lizards and noisy birds. This is certainly not a compliant, simply a warning to anybody expecting anything more than a pretty rudimentary camping style experience. My recommendation would be to stay here if you would like a fun and unique night or two in nature away from the town. Any more may be too long unless camping is very much your thing.

This hotel has a phenomenal view. Just incredible. I loved how it was a quick walk to town, though it was far enough away to feel like you’re deep in nature. I really enjoyed my stay here. And the people working there were so nice! Also I never felt unsafe walking to and from town even at night. I think it’s important to know a few things though: 1. Stairs. So many stairs. I didn’t mind, in fact I needed the exercise. But if you have any mobility issues you will have to find another place. Need to use the bathroom late at night? You will be climbing stairs. Forget something on your room? Get ready to sweat. Stairs. 2. Bugs. Thankfully there are nice mosquito nets in the rooms and I never had any bugs directly in my room, but there are indeed bugs around the other areas, especially at night when they are attracted to the lights. If you freak out when there are creepy crawlers around then this might not be the place for you. You’re not quite camping, but you’re not in a fancy hotel either. You’re next to nature so enjoy the nature sounds! 3. No AC. Again, this is rustic. It gets very hot in the huts during the day. Also they are set up so that you can’t really just lay around and look at the view from inside. They all have hammocks under them though that you can enjoy. Hut 9 (I think?) has the best hammock spot with a little deck thing underneath. So again I really enjoyed my time here, but just know what to expect so everyone can have a nice time!

The family that manage this place are all so friendly and helpful - they definitely made the stay extra special. 15 minutes walking to the main town, but tucked away from the busy part. Huts are cozy, they can get very warm during the day but they have fans (no AC). Communal toilets and showers. Beautiful view of the bay from the huts and common area.

Nice concept but difficult to access from outside and also from within. The views are great from the property and the breakfast is decent as well. However, the access road is a dirt road and it gets herculean to reach the reception. The worse is the access to the rooms who hbrequirs climbing about 50 steps to the reception area and another 50 from the room to the bathroom/toilets. The restroom facilities are quite dirty as well.

I loved my stay there! Everything is as described and the view is magnificent!!! I would say hut 9 or 10 have the best view. At the reception you can get tours booked or tips where to go or what to do. Make no mistake, this is a camping like experience, just with huts instead of tents.
