Exceeded Our Expectations”

We chose Camotes island mainly because we wanted a quiet and laid-back holiday, although none of the resorts on the island seemed very impressive when we first checked online. However, from the moment we set foot on the island our expectations were exceeded. Most places I've stayed at previously either have a website and photographs that overplay the actual property and facilities, or at best live up to it. Mangodlong Paradise Resort is the complete opposite - the website and photographs are not very impressive but the property itself is pristine and the staff and service are truly welcoming. The location is very convenient too. If you're visiting Camotes, my personal recommendation is to simply book this place without even thinking twice! More than justified value for money.

Will definitely go back yearly”

My first time to be far from Cebu City and it did not disappoint me. Mangodlong Paradise resort was one of the most relaxing place I had amongst all the beach resorts i've ever been in the past. What made me say this? Here are my observations/comments: 1. Room & bathroom-Very clean & tidy. We booked the deluxe room for two and it is far better than the room i had in Cebu city with almost the same rate. They even have clothesline, first ever to see it in Mangodlong. That's a plus for me! 2. Staffs-Friendly & polite. Even encountered someone who volunteered to help me open our room. Very seldom to experience that kind of service. Just by observing, he immediately offered his help. When I asked for a first aid, Kuya Mike did a great job in taking care of my foot. He's very cautious in doing it. 3. Food- Buffet for breakfast is a plus. The range & variety is good as well as the ala carte list which we had for dinner. My concern is that some are salty i.e. Bam-i and scrambled egg. But the rest, worth the penny. :) 4. Pool-The water is not too cold which made it more relaxing to use. It was the second resort i've seen that used a different kind of flooring on the pool. That kind of floor or whatever you call it seemed like the one keeping the water a bit warm or normal. 5. Beach-The sand is very nice. However, there were small pebbles of rock on the beach so better swim with ur diving shoes or slip-ons to protect you from getting cut by the stones. That's the accident i had there, I stepped on a pointed stone. The shore though is a bit short but we enjoyed still cause the it is not crowded. For me its way better than a lengthy shoreline with a mob of peeps. 6. Service-They gave us a good service. Though I waited for a first aid for about 10mins, i still received an excellent service for taking care of me. On our last day however, the reception informed us that the Jomalia express broke down so we need to take a Multicab going to Poro port. When we checked-out, she inform

Best resort in Camotes”

If you want the most comfortable/luxurious stay in Camotes for an extra price, then Mangodlong Paradise resort is for you. The infinity pool is the star of the resort. You can drink in their poolside bar. They have good accomodations.-strong water,clean baths, nice beds, comforters, tv with cable,mini-ref. The resto in the resort serves breakfast buffet. The beach is nice but other resorts have access to better sands. Still, we found our stay most enjoyable in Mangodlong Paradise resort.

Perfect getaway resort”

As this was our first trip to Cebu, we chose to stay in Camotes since it was just another 4-hour journey and chose this resort. We were glad that we made this decision as it was such a wonderful stay. The beach is beautiful, the atmosphere in the resort was relaxing and quiet. However, the weekend crowd caused the buffet breakfast to be limited (no seats available at café and no eggs for breakfast!). Also, snorkeling could be expensive as the rental charges for the equipment are hourly-based. In any event, overall, the staff and the manager were very accommodating and helpful in ensuring that we had a wonderful stay at the resort. We will definitely be visiting Mangodlong Paradise Beach Resort again, and this time we will be bringing our kids :)

Lovely place!”

We really enjoyed our stay at Mangodlong. The free transfer from the port was very convenient and the resort is a mere 10 minute drive away. The resort is beautifully set and wonderfully manicured! Staff were amazing and work very hard! So helpful. It's a bigger resort than I pictured and it's about 25 minutes from the main town. Meals were good and had reasonable costs. I love swimming in the sea more than the pool (which is massive and impressively lit at night) and it's lovely being able to step out from your room and within metres swim in the sea! Really got very chilled and relaxed. Hired motorbikes for the day (from shop across from resort - 300 php per day. Went to paradise beach and explored a lovely cave pool - can't remember which one! Lake at the centre of island was a bit of a tourist trap! This place is well worth visiting if you are visiting Cebu - it's only 90 minutes by fast transfer boat from Mactan Island!

worth every single money. ”

The stay was perfect. When we reached the ferry terminal, we didnt expect that there was going to be a free van transfer service. Saw my name on the board and we were blown away. Check in was really fast and great. We got the room nearest to the front desk rm101 (even though the reservation was pretty much less). But its alright. Compared the price for the agoda and original pricing, i wouldnt mind at all. Restaurant was really awesome and perfect. The service they provide was outstanding. Especially during breakfast time where i cannot eat pork and they went all the trouble to prepare for me a replacement chicken meal for NO CHARGE at all. But of course, feeling guilty, i paid 200 pesos every single meal as a tip. Lunch and dinner was as equally awesome. Yes, you might complain it takes sooooo long wait but it was definitely worth the wait. Unfortunately, the strong winds was coming in (incoming minor typhoon) and hence, we couldnt swim at the sea. However, we did use the swimming pool which was great. The maintainance of this resort was awesome. I would wake up early in the morning to see the staff cleaning the whole beach. Check out was a little disappointing though. The instructions were not clear and we had to wait quite a while and had to travel to a temporary ferry terminal which was not completed due to the crazy waves. Am i coming back to this resort if i come back to Camotes Island? Definitely! Why do i say that? When i was travelling to other resorts within the island, i could not find any other place that could compete with this resort! Great job guys and hope to see you again.

Mangodlong Paradise resort”

Just came back from a holiday in Camotes, Philippines. We stayed at Mangodlong Paradise. The resort is beautiful with small but amazing beach. Our room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. The restaurant offers good variety of dishes and drinks. The prices at the restaurant are affordable. The staff at the resort is kind and helpful.

A value for money”

I got a beachfront room for less than 3,000PhP (discounted price through Agoda). This I think is considered cheap considering it has all the amenities of a first-class hotel. Although the beach is full of seaweeds and the sand is not that fine, the pool is clean. I had great time staying and enjoying the pool. The room has all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. I have a great view of the beach. Also, the bathroom is so spacious. Although, there's a live band during my stay, I didn't have problem with the noise because of the excellent soundproofing of the room. I had a relaxing and pleasant stay in Mangodlong Paradise Beach Resort.

Best Resort I've been to!”

My experience with mangodlong paradise resort was fantastic! I just fell in love with the place. The staff were polite and friendly. The amenities were okay. The food was a bit expensive but it tasted good though. We love how large the infinity pool at the resort. I already recommended this place to my friends and will surely come back the next time we get to visit cebu. ❤️ -nix

2nd time here and this time with kids”

Our first time at Mangodlong Paradise Beach Resort was about two months ago as a couple and we had such a wonderful time that we decided to bring our kids for the school holidays. We just spent 5 days with our kids at the Resort, last week. Unfortunately, there were some glitches on the food front. The buffet breakfast had a limited spread compared to what was on offer, two months ago. The choices were so limited that I was left with just some fruit, basic pre-prepared scrambled eggs with no additional ingredients such as mushrooms, ham, etc (there was no egg station) and bacon (on several days, not all days). Oddly, there were two dishes of rice but no noodles. Further, there was no selection of mini cakes or pastries (on two days there were one type of cake each day). We love to have a big breakfast when on holiday as we like to start the day with a delicious and satisfying meal. Sadly, we were disappointed and feel that we were short-changed, in this regard. In addition, whilst the menu (slightly updated from two months ago with offerings from a new chef) promised some goodies, they were never available during our stay of five days. Even a basic dessert such as vanilla ice cream was never available. The response we constantly received was that they were short-staffed! We are of the view that this is not acceptable answer as we are still paying full price and expect what has been offered. Having said that, we did enjoy most of the dishes (limited as they were), that we had ordered. In order to supplement the limited selection, we hopped to the neighbouring resort that and an additional selection of food. In any event, our kids loved the pool that was well-kept and clean. They also loved to play with the sand at the beach and snorkel off the beach. We also enjoyed feeding the fishes with the resort staff. The kids enjoyed these experiences. All in all, we enjoyed our stay in Mangodlong Paradise Beach Resort!

A slice of Heaven ”

I was more than impressed with Mangodlong Paradise Beach Resort. Upon arriving at the pier I was greeted with complimentary shuttle service to the resort, then handed a glass of fresh mango juice once we reached the lobby. The staff is professional, accommodating, and friendly. If you're looking for a calm, relaxing, romantic getaway, this is the place for it. The grounds are clean, well maintained, and absolutely breathtaking. The food is delicious and affordable. Breakfast is complimentary and did not disappoint. My girl and I had a wonderful few days here, I couldn't have been happier with it. Highly recommended

It is indeed a paradise!”

I definitely recommend going to Camotes Island and staying in this resort. The resort has such a beautiful beach and a lovely swimming pool. We had a heavenly stay, moreso maybe because we went there on an off-peak season and we had the place all to ourselves, with a few other foreigners and their families. We booked a beachfront room and it was like we stayed at a grand beachside hotel, but actually at a price that gives you worth for your money that is beyond your expectations. There are a lot of scenic attractions around the area and food spots offering delicious eats at really affordable prices. We have been dreaming of going back ever since we returned home.

Amazing, relaxing stay”

We had free pick up and drop off from Consuelo port, we had a room with view to the sea - room is very comfortable and inviting, has a nice small garden patio and the view is great. You can swim in the sea with both low and high tide, they also have a refreshing pool. Service is simply great, we had everything we needed and they catered for all of our requests. There is no wifi (at this hotel, and also in general on camotes islands), but it really did not matter, we had so many things to do and the staff gave us hints on what to do on the island. There is not much in general you can do on the island, so we spent a lot of time at the resort (with no regrets) - but drive with a motorbike, visit santiago bay beach, the island is still cheap and has a natural feel. Was very much worth it! Recommend.

Exclusivity at great value!”

If you value exclusivity while enjoying good amenities this is the place for you. This is probably the best resort in Camotes Island. Nice beach, somewhat enclosed which I feel safer while enjoying the water (Didn’t spot a life guard on duty though). Nicely built up swimming pool with pool bar. Very nice and clean rooms. Kayak is available, too. Food is average. The only issue here is the food service. It’s very slow like you have to wait for at least 30 minutes to get served, which seems to be the practice in the whole island. They allow cats to roam around in the restaurant. Some guests are not mindful and perhaps they find it cute but I think cats should not be allowed in a restaurant, and we get to spot them coming out from the kitchen. I hope this is something the management will look into.

Beautiful getaway!”

The hotel provides pick-up from ferry terminal at camotes island. Front desk staff were polite and we were served with a welcome drink. Room was ok. No bathtub. No wifi. No signal. Practically the island has no mobile signal. Only certain areas. So if you need a getaway from social media and get lost in the underground cave, then this is the place to be. The hotel also provides tour guide to bring you to tourist destination at a affordable price of 1500php each. Dinner was nice, enjoyed the bbq seafood and listening to live music. Special thanks to the Kitchen staff for preparing take-away breakfast for us since we need to leave the hotel at 4:30am to catch the 5:30am ferry.

Nicest Resort on Camotes”

Mangodlong Paradise Resort is located around a few other resorts in the Mangodlong area and is clearly the nicest of the four. The rooms are modern and well appointed. The staff are excellent and the grounds are very nice.

Fantastic view and friendly staffs!”

Our experience in Mangodlong Paradise Resort was incredible. The cozy place with a fantastic view and friendly staff will welcome you. But the one weekpoint was that there's no wifi in the resort. Except for that it was amazing.

Great potential but lacking in a few areas.”

Pros -clean -has a pool -private beach that is cleaned regularly -modern rooms with flat screen TV -easy to get to if you land in consuelo port since the resort offers free transportation back and forth -peaceful and quiet great for relaxing -tropical paradise vibe -alcohol pretty fairly priced cons -food not the greatest. both in variety and value -wifi only available in the restaurant/bar but never worked when we were there -shower has hot and cold but it's either scorching hot or very low pressure cold.. maybe the room we were staying in -no SIM signal.. or very low. I have smart and globe but resort claims smart is the best provider for that location the resort is located in brgy consuelo. camotes island..sSan Francisco/poro are pretty easy to commute around by motorbike (which could be rented in front of the resort). not so long to commute between tourist attractions from the resort but farthest location in poro is ~45 mins away. I heard this is one of 2 of the best resorts in camotes. quite a beautiful resort, can definitely feel the calm island vibe. very nice views especially at sunset and alot of great pictures for those who are into that. food is not so great there, the free breakfast pretty subpar for a leading resort on the island but they have a cook making eggs any style you like so that's a redeeming factor. overall for food I would recommend going elsewhere such as Santiago beach where theres a strip of restaurants with good seafood. overall good experience. go there with a mindset of relaxing and seeing/experiencing the natural landscapes the island provides (alot of natural caves, a lake with a zipline and of course the beaches). great place to escape si nce the wifi and SIM is pretty non existant there but if needed head to Santiago beach.. was able to get 4g on my smart was able to download quite a few things there quite quickly. for being ranked so highly as one of the best resorts in camotes there can possibly room for competition in that d

Just Wow”

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.
