Catarman hotel rooms a the Independent

"We love the free shuttle pick up. The breakfast was good. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. It was a nice place to stay and rest after the long day of “laag” cause it was so serene and quiet."

"This resort is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a family vacation or a trip with friends. It’s affordable without compromising on the experience—great value for a relaxing and memorable stay!"

"We stayed at Kokomo for a week and were really pleased with our cottage with a wrap-around porch by the ocean. The landscaping and gardens in the resort are lush and beautiful. Our room was air-conditioned, had free wifi, with lots of hot water in the shower. Every morning we had breakfast included, which was cooked to order. Visitors could easily sign up for a snorkelling or dive expedition at the property, which has its own boat. If you are looking for a smaller resort with a boho vibe, this is the place."

"There are so many things to like about this resort. Location, facilities, restaurant, transport services are a few. But above all else are the PEOPLE who staff this wonderful place. Reception,food service, dive shop, housekeeping…every person we encountered were welcoming & helpful. We hope they are well compensated as they make this the very special spot on Earth that it is."

"The place was really nice. You can always take a boat ride to the white sand island. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The best part of this hotel are the staff. I have been to 5 star hotels but this is really great natural hospitality you feel that it is not training that made them that nice. Thank you for the great time. Relax and enjoy a hidden gem"

"The owners and staff really put a lot of personal touch in everything they do. I definitely will be back. Virgil and Alfie were awesome guiding us snorkeling. Johann was awesome. Just a great experience. "

"The resort is little bit old and worn but very comfortable. The location is good. The staff was wonderful. We had a large group that wanted to barbecue on the beach and they supplied us with a grill, dishes and silverware and even cooked us rice and cleaned up after. The “free” breakfast was barely adequate, but could be greatly improved with a little fruit and pandesal. Watch for the resident sea turtle. We saw it almost every day close to shore at high tide. I went snorkeling with my kids right in front of the resort. It wasn’t the best, but we found lots of interesting things. The day we arrived it was a holiday and the beach was crowded with locals. The rest of the time it was very quiet. My whole family can’t wait to come back. Also, make sure you buy your snacks from the little store in front of the resort. The owner is an old friend and the reason we chose to come here."

"Nice place"

"Great views and access to water. Staff are wonderful Friendly owner. Large rooms and very clean. Good food. 20 minutes from airport and other areas of interest are fairly close"
