Mambajao hotel rooms a the Independent

"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."

"Quiete place, except some guests are shouting in the middle of the night in the swimming pole. The most funny part is, they have two dogs that greet the guest with their loud,,,aw, aw, aw,. Although the dogs are friendly but their bites are no jokes, a greeter dog is not good for business,,,,,aw, aw, aw. The owners are two foreigners, with foreigners look, that can actually speaks the local dialects,,,,hehehehehe. The local helpers are nice enough to give us some places to go.Swimming pole is dirty but owner cleaned it the next day. We are resting and all of the sudden we hear a machine for grass cutter, so loud and anoing. Over all they can improve on customer service using human as a greeter and not animals."

"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."

"This resort has a home away from home feeling. It felt like I am staying at my relative’s home. The staff were very friendly and greeted you with a smile and made you feel at home. My room was clean as well as the property itself. The location is not that far from Camiguin airport. The resort provides free transportation from and to the airport, which is a great plus. I recommend booking to include breakfast to have a taste of the fresh local food. This resort is a great place to unwind after a day of excursion around the beautiful Camiguin Island. A quite and relaxing place to stay. I will definitely recommend to my friends and family. "
