Inara Siargao

We were forced to cancel our trip to the Philippines in January including our stay at this property. However, following a totally shocking and devastating cancer diagnosis at Xmas we were forced to cancel our trip. We sent supporting documentation to all the hotels and airlines advising them of my need to start immediate treatment. All were so understanding and supportive of my situation and either refunded the entirety of our booking or arranged with us a suitable alternative. Inara Siargao did not respond and certainly did not entertain any form of refund. We booked through *********** and they were also unable to get any response from them. They had our money and that was that. Inara Siargao - where was your compassion? Let’s hope you are never faced with such circumstances.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a stay at Inara. My wife and I spent eight nights in Siargao researching accommodations for our travel blog, staying at four different properties: Las Palmas, Kalani Villas, Kalinaw Resort, and Inara. Of the four, Inara was the most expensive — and the only one that disappointed us. The resort itself sits in a beautiful location, the rooms are tastefully designed, and the staff are genuinely kind and helpful. Unfortunately, the management falls far short of expectations. From the moment we arrived, small but telling issues began to add up. There was no help with parking or baggage. We were told we’d receive a WhatsApp message in the evening to choose our breakfast, but within ten minutes of checking in (around 3 p.m.), a staff member arrived asking us to place our order immediately. While breakfast is “included,” it comes with numerous confusing restrictions — one juice or one coffee, fruit not included, a 380 PHP croissant included, but the 420 PHP beef tapa not. These arbitrary rules made the experience feel needlessly complicated and cheap, especially for a room costing over $300 USD per night. To add to that, there was no in-room coffee, only paid coffee in a communal area. After finally sorting breakfast, we planned to relax by ordering a bottle of wine by the pool — until we saw the prices. A bottle retailing for 590 PHP was listed for 8,000 PHP, an extraordinary markup (the same wine was 1,200 PHP at another resort). We skipped the wine and decided to enjoy cocktails at the beach bar instead. That experience was worse. The bar area was set up for a private event, and we were awkwardly seated at the back of a building with no view, no fan, and no atmosphere. The cocktails were among the worst (and most expensive) we had during our trip — the calamansi margarita and Blue Daku tasted nothing like their descriptions. The next morning, I requested to speak with the manager to share our feedback. Unfortunately, the conversation was unproductive; he thanked me for the comments but offered no acknowledgment, apology, or effort to improve our stay. Inara has so much potential — a stunning setting, great design, and lovely staff — but under its current management, it’s a frustrating and poor-value experience. Until significant changes are made, I would not recommend staying here.

Beautiful gardens. Friendly staff . Villa was designed with good taste - nice bed/ large bathroom . Bamboo flooring. Resort was quiet and we were able to sleep well at night.

Loved our stay at the Inara! We were in garden room 5 and it felt like a little jungle oasis! It’s located a short drive outside of the main touristy area but we felt no need to leave as Marvs, Jom, and Hope were beyond attentive and incredibly accommodating. From friendly conversation to advising on tourism activities, the Inara team genuinely sets a new standard for hospitality - globally! Our stay was a tranquil and detached way to experience the beauty of Siargao’s lush landscape and local culture. we certainty hope to be back soon!! Side note: if you’re missing your animals back home there are a few friendly kitty’s prowling around who will happily accept human affection but also remain in the background for those less interested :)

Our stay at Inara was truly wonderful. The resort is cozy, quaint, and bright — making it feel like an extension of home. My parents loved how the ambiance reminded them of the Philippines in the 80s, filled with the warmth and charm that brought back so many good memories. It’s private, calm, and quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved dining with our feet in the sand, enjoyed the easy beach access, and found the rooms were beautifully decorated with Filipino and Spanish style architecture and design. The service was incredible. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect experience. Jom and Don were especially helpful in planning out our days, from arranging an amazing tour of Bucas Grande to setting us up with surf lessons and a hike with stunning panoramic views. Inara truly stands out with a very attentive, thoughtful, and warm staff that elevated our experience and allowed us to enjoy all Siargao has to offer. The food was another highlight. The menu had a great mix of Filipino dishes and Western favorites, and everything we tried was fantastic. The seafood, in particular, was outstanding—king crab, sea mantis, squid— all caught fresh daily. They were also very accommodating to dietary restrictions, which we really appreciated. Chef J. is simply amazing. We enjoyed our stay so much that we ended up booking our next trip here with the rest of our family before we even left. If you’re looking for a peaceful, memorable getaway with incredible food and the kindest staff, Inara is the place. We’re so grateful for this experience and can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing time at Inara. The place was immaculate and we loved the whole vibe of this little piece of paradise. The property is 15-20mins away from the tourism road so it's perfect for if you love tranquility and be away from the crowds. The Inara Team especially Ms. Maria, Sir Jom, Sir Dennis, Ms. Hope, and Sir Andres were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The food was well prepared by Chef. They made sure we had an unforgettable experience in Siargao, cannot wait to come back:)

We had an amazing time in inara. The staff are so friendly, attentive and they took great care of us. Our room was so beautiful done and the beds were comfortable to sleep in. The whole resort is so beautiful. We will definitely be back soon to visit again.

Inara was such a dreamy place. The rooms were so spacious and well laid out. Obviously, the place is beautiful too. The staff gave the most top notch service i've ever experienced in any stay i've had in PH- they truly go above and beyond. The Inara team did my room almost every time i stepped out which I appreciate. They also always made sure to call me trikes to get to my reservations and events on time. And most especially, when I had to ensure all the wedding guests' logistics, they had my back the whole time making sure everybody was safe and well taken care of. Shout out to Maria Theresa, Jom, Hope and Lizel! The food and drinks (especially) were good and at below Metro Manila prices for the same quality of food. Inara's along Malinao Road which means it's not so close to the center (about a 20 min trike ride to GL center & 30 mins from Cloud 9) but that being said, I preferred the peace and quiet anyway. After my stay here, i'm convinced that this is the only place I will stay in for all my trips to Siargao.
