This property is a go to if you’re staying on Camigan Island. It is very modern in the inside of the villa as well as spacious. They provide transportation to and from the port, breakfast was delicious and included in the price, and if you don’t feel like going out you can order dinner to be be delivered for a small fee. The property leads directly to the beach/ocean (beautiful views). Right behind each villa is a personal lounge area equipped with couches,etc. there’s a pool on site as well as badminton. It was so serene. The staff was extremely accommodating, so big shout out to Andrew and Nova.

This is a very clean and well-maintained property. Rooms are awesome, comfortable and cleaned every day.
Great care goes into this property. Nice beach front for watching the sunsets over the Bohol Sea.
The service and the staff are simply the best. Anything you need, anytime you just ask. Excursions, rides or an excellent home cooked breakfast.
I have no doubt that when I ever return to Camiguin this is the place I will stay. You will be glad you did as well.

We were super happy at Somewhere Else! The property is on the beach and the accommodation is unique and interesting, well-built, spacious, a good value, and comfortable with a fantastic outdoor space. The owner, Jerome, is very thoughtful, accommodating, and fun and his staff are wonderful. We were impressed with everything he did to may our stay enjoyable from arranging scooters, providing beer/rum/wine, transfers to the ferry and airport and even picking us up and dropping us off for dinner. Fantastic breakfast too!

What a beautiful paradise within a paradise island! We felt quite spoiled which is the beauty of a small but high standard service resort. Truly it felt like we had a private concierge with so much flexibility with our requests like for breakfast time and variety, dog sitting for our furry companions, and believe it or not even for assistance with our driver’s license and car registration renewal. The whole team is always happy to greet you morning, noon and night with genuine island hospitality and sincere desire to make our stay memorable. We loved our villa especially the porch where we lazed around. We enjoyed the birds that came everyday to check out their garden. We had a good workout at the badminton grass court. Our swims in the clear waters of the black beach were very refreshing. It was truly our home away from home and sad to have to say farewell to Jerome, his wonderful and hardworking staff and the well loved and cared for rescue dogs.

Just brilliant! The only place to stay in Camiguin
Posted 11 Dec 2018 on HotelsThe place to stay Camiguin!
We were contacted by the owner a few days before our trip because he wanted to come and pick us up from the airport!
That was just the first in a long line of positives! The hotel room was very nice and the bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed staying there.
The wifi was really good the best we experienced on our island hopping tour.
The pool is really good and the breakfast was really really good. Real bread, fresh fruits, hot chocolate, tea, coffee you name it!
Jerome told us everything there was to see on the island and recommended what to do and what not to do. We rented his motorbike and and everything was just a breeze and plain sailing.
We will def stay again!

Lucky to Stay at SomeWhere Else Boutique Resort
Posted 27 May 2018 on OrbitzI'm grateful to have been able to book this property for myself and my family this past week. The resort was available to accommodate all seven of us so we had the place all to ourselves.
Almost immediately after booking, the property reached out to us to make sure they could arrange transportation for all of us coming to Camiguin. The driver, Andrew, was exceptionally accommodating to make sure we had complete access to all of Camiguin. Even though the resort is private and somewhat secluded, we could count on Andrew to take us on tours and suggest restaurants for us to try.
The property itself is beautiful, and we had easy access to our own private beach. The rooms are uniquely and exquisitely designed, and the staff went above and beyond to provide endless ammenities such as specialty teas and coffees at no extra charge.
I absolutely have no cons about our experience, except that we couldn't stay longer! Hopefully the resort will be available for us next year when we return.

Hospitality at its finest
Posted 27 May 2018 on HotelsSomewhere Else is hands down the best place we've stayed in after a two week trip to the Philippines. The pictures online don't do this place justice. It's everything I could wish for in a resort.
Andrew was our tour guide for the day and a half we were in Camiguin. He and the staff were lovely and really made our experience on the island one to remember. Customer service doesn't get better than what you get at Somewhere Else :)
