Camotes Islands hotels & places to stay

Probably the best resort hotel in Camotes Island. This resort boasts great landscape with swimming pool, coconut trees and lovely green gardens. The rooms are cozy and really beautiful. Perfect place for couples and groups alike. The only thing missing here is the powdery white sand, mega sandbar of Santiago Bay. But you can always go there anyway by renting a tricycle or multicab. I highly recommend this resort.

On the tiny island of Camotes you will need your own transportation to reach the Rock resort (you can rent a motorbike, or a bike with driver. For a half day, we had two bikes with driver for 600p). It is the most beautiful beachfront in Camotes. We had the most stunning, romantic sunset ever. The Resort itself is so-so, slightly run-down. Weekdays pretty empty. There is a beachfront bar/restaurant, with surprisingly good food.

This resort is amongst the very few existing facilities on Camotes Island that has a degree of scale and the ability to satisfy the expectations of the travellers / holiday makers. The food on offer is good quality and very reasonably priced. The Bay offers fabulous swimming and is not too far from the Ferry Terminal. Surprisingly the breakfast menu does not include much in the way of fresh fruit. However, if you source your own they are more than willing to prepare it for you at no charge. As is customary in the Philippines “marble” surfaces are used extensively inside and outside. . If they become “wet” they are like “ Ice Skating “ services. ( I nearly broke my arm on the main entrance steps ! ) However, all things considered this facility is worth very serious consideration if you a planning a trip to Camotes Island. It’s easily either the best or at worst the second best place to stay.

I was looking for a place to spend time with my mom, my sisters and our respective families. I found this place in Agoda and thought the price was affordable, for three rooms including breakfast. When we arrived, they already had the rooms ready and cleaned with all the toiletries. The staff were courteous and made sure that everything is taken care of. There is a shallow pool for the kids too, which was nice. The staff also informed us that we have free access to Mangodlong Rock Beach, which is just a few steps away. It's where we had dinner. Dinner there was affordable and was great. We had a nice view of the beach and Mangodlong Rock at sunset. The breakfast in Coco Grove the next day was excellent too! For a middle class family, our accommodation was of great value and it allowed us to bond with our new families, especially the kids. We will definitely return to this place when we visit Camotes Island again!

First things first! NO VIDEOKE is a BIG PLUS!! If you want a quiet place to relax overlooking the sea, this side of Camotes island is the place for you. The HOTEL has a nice 7ft pool. They house the only Mediterranean restaurant on this side of the island - PIZZA is a must try. Food is priced reasonably considering that they prepare the food fresh and cooked with the finest ingredients. No complaints about the hotel room - for me, the room was enough to make us feel comfortable during our stay - bed, bathroom, air conditioning, nice view of their pool and the sea. The resort is situated near Tulang Diot Island, which is a must visit. The resort is also close to convenience stores, a bakeshop and there's a nice place to hang out nearby called "Uncle Rock House". I like how their hotel management posted the "house rules" everywhere (as you enter the reception area and in the rooms). It maintains order and thereby giving the R&R every guest deserves.

because of a peak season and many are travelling back to their hometown we encounter difficulty in getting a ferry to camotes island. the owner of the ferry have already announce that there are no more available ferry slot on that day so we called the BBR and said the bad new and requested for re scheduling our reserved booking which they agreed . The Management of bbr do understand our situatuion that we recomend this resort especially this rainy season where the weather is unpredictable.

This is by far the best place we have stayed in all our travels with my girlfriend. Very serene and quiet, just what we needed to get away from all the urban commotion. The place is practically new, the rooms are of German standard size, which means they're larger than your average hotel room. WiFi and satellite TV readily available. The place is nicely situated in a plateau or mountaintop (not sure); you can have their complimentary scrumptious, fit-for-a-king breakfast (better than what most 4-5 star hotels serve) while overlooking the Tulang Diot island and feeling the cool ocean breeze at the same time. The owner, Thomas and Marjie, are extremely hospitable and very attentive to their guests' needs, they even 'rescued' us PERSONALLY when the scooter we were using to tour the island experienced a small problem (nothing serious though) and lent us another one. Isn't that commendable? And the free welcome drinks (which we enjoyed and appreciate) and their two VERY friendly and playful dogs Snowy and Sharky are a PLUS in my honest opinion. We are planning to return to Camotes soon to explore the remaining tourist spots we missed and surely, we'll be back to Villa Marquez. To future travellers, this is the perfect place for you. Daghang salamat, Thomas and Marjie! - Paul and Alouha

Stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights last weekend. We arrived early. However, we forgot to inform the hotel about it. I guess that's our fault. No one was at the hotel when we arrived. I called the number I saw in a business card inside the hotel. Luckily, my call was answered and Andi, our host came as soon as he could. He was very helpful and welcoming. He personally prepared our sumptuous breakfast with flowing brewed coffee. He immediately informed us that the electricity in Camotes Island is not that sufficient to provide for all the electrical facilities the entire day. The hotel has a generator though to work on the problem. The location is good since it is near the beach and restaurants. The room is clean and tidy as well. Andi also arranged us a scooter rental owned by his neighbor to roam around the island. The rental price is cheaper as compared to others offering the same deal. On our 1st night, I thought of drinking a beer in a windy evening. I ordered to 2 bottles of beer. To my surprise, as I reached out my payment and he handling me the beers, he told me that the those are his welcome gift.

Stayed here for just 1 night but with hindsight wish it was for longer. Camotes Islands are brilliant and few tourists around. The island is a 3 hour boat trip from Cebu city pier and the hotel a 10 minute or so motorbike ride from the Poro pier although I believe the hotel can pick you up if requested. Although some distance from the sea, the sea views from the hotel are spectacular as it is on a hill. Room was clean and functional and food / public areas good. The free kareoke was fun. The staff are friendly, speak good English and are helpful. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

What a great stay right on the ocean with in the beautiful Camotes islands!! The owner Mike and his lovely wife are extremely friendly, wonderful hosts, and will do anything to make their guests comfortable and happy. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable. We stayed in one of the larger rooms and would definitely recommend reserving the top floor overlooking the ocean. You can custom order breakfast and there is always cold beer. You can swim right from the front steps and there is a fish preserve you can swim to just off shore if you're into diving or snorkeling. There is plenty to explore on the island..caves, beautiful beaches..all nearby and you can rent a motorbike at the resort or hire a driver. The island is clean and pretty with no traffic and the locals are very friendly. The best thing is it's just over an hour boat ride from Mactan, Cebu. Been to the Philippines several times and this has been my favorite so far. Excellent value for the money,,,highly recommended!

The room was good enough and also very clean. The location of the hotel was at the far end of Santiago White Beach, which I very much prefer, it was not crowded and the beach was right in front of the hotel. I liked that their dining room was the terrace that overlooked the sea. Food was a bit pricey, but delicious. It would be better if there was a kitchen we could use. Lastly, the staff were also very friendly and accommodating. Overall, we had a great stay!
