Great stay with fabulous people
Pros:

I had a great time at Mina's house. Without hesitation I was transferred to the nicest room they have, with a big private terrace and nice view. The room is equipped with a water cooler and hot water for coffee. Marcy and her husband were lovely and fulfilled every wish I had. Mina, the owner, helped me out in a embarrassing situation without giving me a bad feeling at all and without asking anything. Thank you again for a great experience staying with the most friendly people.

Parfait
Pros:

Nous avons aimé le calme, la gentillesse du personnel et de la propriétaire Mina, la vue depuis la piscine a débordement et du jardin. Les petits déjeuners.
La location de scooter sur place
Ayant eu le temps de visiter d’autres établissements nous avons la quasi certitude que celui-ci est le plus entretenu de Camotes.

Cons:

Rien sur l’établissement en lui même mais les deux plages en contrebas sont malheureusement jonchées de déchets plastiques et un cimetière se situe entre les deux baies, la plupart des tombes ont été exhumées mais il reste des cercueils, tombeaux et plaques tombales ce qui nuit au charme de l’endroit

Pros:

La chambre bien équipée, avec frigo et eau chaude et froide à volonté, le cadre charmant de la maison d’hôtes et du jardin, la jolie piscine avec un magnifique panorama sur la mer, et l’accueil parfait de Mercy et son mari.

Cons:

Les 2 chemins pour accéder aux restaurants de nuit sont sombres et peu engageants pour une femme seule, mais tout s’est bien passé.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr komfortabel, heißes Wasser und Kaffee vorhanden. Rollerverleih möglich und ein Abholservice vom Hafen mit dem liebevollen Gefährt von Oppa möglich. Wunderschöner Garten mit Pool. Privater Strandabschnitt. Mercey und Oppa, die Housekeeper sind Herzensmenschen, authentisch und herzlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die beiden Haushunde haben das Bild abgerundet. Die Lage ist super🙏 Santiago Bay ist fußläufig erreichbar. Dort kann man was Essen, schaut bei D-Spot vorbei, dort wird wie bei Mama gekocht, einfach mit Liebe. Und die Besitzerin hat auch ein riesen Herz für Hunde und Katzen. Neben D-Spot findet man eine kleine Bar. J.P. der Besitzer ist ebenfalls sehr authentisch. Er liebt Metal und spielt in mehreren Bands. Und das wichtigste er hat ein riesen Herz für Tiere. Wer Lust hat Musik zu hören am Wochenende, kann zu Fuß zum Hostel an der Hauptstraße, dort spielt er als Schlagzeuger mit seiner Coverband. Hauptsächlich aber langsame 80er Musik.

Wenn wir nochmals auf die Phillipinen reisen, dann wissen wir, wo wir gut aufgehoben sind😉

Cons:

Es gibt für mich nichts zu bemängeln

非常棒
Pros:

非常好,特别棒!我的父母亲入住的期间基本上属于独享整个院子、海景和泳池。这里的人都非常的友好,吃饭很方便,走到大马路上就有一家餐厅。整体不是过度开发的商业化的旅游景区,没有扎堆的人,只有安安静静的岁月独好。

Absolutely fantastic, truly wonderful! During my parents' stay, they basically had the entire courtyard, sea view and swimming pool all to themselves. Everyone here is extremely friendly, dining is convenient—there’s a restaurant just a short walk to the main road. Overall, it’s not an overdeveloped commercial tourist spot—no crowds, just quiet and pleasant days.

Pros:

Our stay at this villa was amazing, i wish we stayed longer!
Room was big enough and equipped with everything.. wifi, fridge, ac, fan, shampoo, water, beach towels.. It was really quiet at night and we slept really well.
Location is amazing, few steps from a "private" beach, 5mins from a hostel at the main road that serves food, and 6-7 min from the beautiful Santiago beach that has multiple nice restaurants.. It's a really chill and quiet place, great for relaxing.
You can rent a scooter from them and it's new and in a really good condition, easy to drive. They also give you helmets.
Pool is amazing, we spent hours swimming and looking at the beach..
Also staff is really kind and helpful.
We enjoyed our stay and we'll definitely return to this amazing Villa.. the island is really beautiful and not touristy yet. I recommend!! :)

Good money value
Pros:

I stayed there for 1 week.
The owners and workers are very attentive. If you have any need, they will do their best to help you.
Their almost private beach is directly accessible from the garden.
The swimming is in front of the sea, the view is amazing.

Cons:

It's unfortunate and not their fault, but I arrived after a cyclone. The sea did reject some plastic onto the beach.
There is only a few shops on the island, bring all you need with you. The owners were nice and told me in advance. (There is a supermarket near the Danao port for the ferry)
The air conditioner is a bit noisy but it is efficient to refresh the room.

Dream location in a dream island...
Pros:

The small cozy apartment is located in a dream location featuring an amazing tropical garden, a nice and well kept infinity pool and access to a beautiful private beach. The keepers, Mercy and Oppa (who, among other qualities, masters gardening art), are very supportive and provide a prompt answer to every need you might have, so as to make the stay more enjoyable. For a reasonable fee you are picked up and dropped by them at Consuelo Port, you can rent an almost brand new scooter for a trip around, you can have laundry service, and so on.... Perfect solution either for a short stay on the way to other destinations or for a relaxing staycation.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about

A great value for a secluded slice of paradise
Pros:

The Villa and the grounds are beautiful. The room was very clean and had a comfortable bed. The room also has a fan and small air conditioning unit. They provided a water dispenser, which was very thoughtful. The hot shower unit was easy to use.

It is amazing to be able to step out the door to sit by the pool or to head down the steps to the secluded beaches below. Mercy and Oppa, both of whom run the place, are great as well. Mercy rented high quality Honda motorbikes to me for 3 days. It is only a 10-minute walk to restaurants at Santiago Bay.

Cons:

The location is fairly remote, but with a motorbike, it isn’t difficult to reach restaurants or other attractions.
