Best Hotels in Camiguin

Four private villas, a pool and a strip of beach facing White Island, run by an owner whose name turns up again and again in the reviews because he organises guests' tours and transfers himself. Its Booking.com score of 9.7 is joint highest on the island, and Agoda and Google rate it just as highly. Guests describe the villas as spacious, well equipped and immaculate, with breakfast brought to the door and airport pick-up included. Know what it is not. There is no restaurant, bar or reception desk, so dinner means the owner's recommendations and a tricycle, and the resort dogs and evening mosquitoes get a mention.

Seven rooms, an infinity pool and a dive shop on the premises, on the Agoho beachfront facing White Island, and reviewers rate the owners and staff with perfect service scores. The rooms are natural in style with outdoor bathrooms, the setting is peaceful, and the beach bar and kitchen get warm mentions. Divers come first here, which is the point. The recurring complaints are construction noise on some stays, mosquitoes, and hot water that does not always arrive.

The island's long-established resort, open since 1995 with 36 rooms, a pool, a dive centre and the thing reviewers mention first — the boats to White Island leave from the beach in front of it, so the sandbar trip is a dawn stroll. Location scores are perfect, the sunsets get their own paragraph in most reviews, and the staff and housekeeping are praised. The complaints are age and connectivity. Dated furniture, pricey food, dinner service that can drag, and Wi-Fi that barely reaches the rooms.

A small beachfront hotel on the Agoho shore with a garden that reviewers keep describing as beautiful, a calm stretch of beach with the White Island view, and a homemade breakfast. The staff and owners get the warmest comments on the island after SomeWhere Else, and it costs a good deal less. Unusually, no complaint recurs across the reviews we read. One guest mentioned a damp room that was sorted out quickly, and the usual island-wide power and signal outages are a tip rather than a gripe.

Seven nipa-roofed bungalows in a hillside garden above Bug-ong, with a natural pool and an Italian restaurant run by the owners, and reviewers describe a welcome warmer than anywhere else they stayed on the island. The food, the breakfast and the eco-minded details (organic soap, vegan options) come up again and again, at a price near the budget end. The location is the trade-off. It is set back from the road and the beach, so you need a tricycle or a scooter for everything, and the Wi-Fi is weak in the rooms. Review counts are small, as they are for most of Camiguin.

The backpacker favourite on Camiguin, a family-run homestay on the beach with a few rooms, a shared kitchen and a lounge, and a Booking.com score of 9.7, joint highest on the island, with hundreds of reviews behind it. What guests write about is the family, over and over, then the sunrise over the sea from the front and the freedom to cook. Set expectations for what it is. A homestay with shared facilities, not a resort, at a price a fraction of the places above.
