Camigiun island is frankly amazing, pristine and largely undiscovered. Few tourists and the ones you meet are just lovely. No mass tourism here in the way you see Cebu and Moalboal. Bahandi offers very simple accomodation ideal for those who want to switch off and spend a few days connecting with nature in a very simple way. The rooms are simple, a bed, a lamp and a shower. We are a family of 4 who had to book 2 rooms to accommodate us. I would say this accommodation suits couples and single travellers rather than families. I think as a family with young kids we missed a pool. This is not a critique of the accommodation as we knew what we booked. This is on reflection and hindsight. We are quite active, and this lodging was ideal for those who want to disconnect and enjoy peace. The location was central close to alot of eateries, other resorts, white island, coffee shops etc. Camigiun has waterfalls, lovely beaches, scenic drives, snorkel sites etc..you can get a tuk tuk from the airport for 200 pesos to the accomodation. I found all tourism operators on the island to be fair. For a van for 8 hours we paid 2700 pesos. Please ensure you choose a van with a good engine and tyres as alot of the interior is mountainous and you need power to get up there.. other notable mentions are utopia cafe for the most amazing coffee and small meals. We did a day trip to mantigue island and ended up hanging out with a congressman and some councillors.. such is the life on camiguin, everyone mixes together. I will definitely visit camigiun again, I think it is an amazing and versatile place.. everyone is friendly and the pace of life is slow..nothing was a problem. Everyone was friendly and perhaps the biggest thing was how safe it was. We left valuables in the tuk tuk, phones on the table, money on the table and no one touched it. People were always smiling and helpful. Special mention to Nana, Corazon and the watchman, who took care of us and acted as translators, made calls etc.

Please do NOT waste your money and go for breakfast in Bali Si Bai Bai. It is grossly overpriced and not worth the money at all. I would encourage the staff to immediately stop reccomending that place. I would recommend a local healthy and delicious breakfast at Abang Eatery which was varied and the total cost of 1 of the meals we paid at Balai si bai bai.. other notable foodie mentions are Ricos for the most delicious filipino bbq and la dolce vita for fusion Italian and fillipino food it was awesome..

Truly amazing! Nana, Wing and the rest of the staff were all super nice, always willing to support and thoughtful. As soon as we arrived at the airport, they managed a pick up for us, and welcomed us with a wide range of information and recommendations about the island, which were indeed very helpful. We even had some technical issues with our personal network connection, and they spent their time helping us out. On a side note, the installations were very comfortable and super clean, and the location was extremely convenient. If we ever came back to Camiguin - an island that, btw, we felt in love with - we would definitely repeat our choice with them :)

Nothing!

Breakfast is good. Great location. I had an absolutely fantastic experience thanks to the incredible staff! They were not only kind and friendly but went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their attentiveness and willingness to accommodate our requests truly exceeded our expectations. I am so grateful for their outstanding service and the positive impact it had on our stay. Thank you for making our experience so memorable!

Nothing. All is good.

Beautiful peaceful surroundings. The garden leads to a black sand beach where you can watch the sunset. The staff we so kind and friendly. Nana gave us a map of the island and recommended lots of different places to us. They arranged anything we needed and even offered breakfast for 150pesos. The rooms are small but have everything you need and are cleaned each day. It is right next to a resort where you can eat dinner (or breakfast)

There was a power outage that lasted most of the day when we were there. Meant not WiFi or ability to charge phones and no aircon / lights too. This is just the nature of the Philippines and this small island - but good to be aware of.

Lovely little guesthouse. Good location, not far from the port or airport. Nice simple breakfast for extra. Very clean room and wonderful staff.

The aircon was quite noisy and quite strong, which made sleeping quite cold but no blankets was available to put on the beds. This is personal preference but i dont sleeping with just a sheet. Yes I could have turned the aircon off but the room got warm very quickly due to the window type. No lunch or dinner offered at the property, so a car/ moped is needed to explore the island and eat.

First of all, the bungalows are in a lovely garden with a beautiful common space with views of a palm grove, hammocks, room to eat and do yoga… the garden leads right to the beach and there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The bed was extremely comfortable and the rooms impeccably clean and cleaned every day. but the thing that most impressed us was that Wing is a really remarkable host! He was so attentive and kind and friendly, taking the time to explain things about the island, about the Philippines in general. When we wanted to do laundry a basin appeared, when we wanted to eat or have a coffee Wing or Rene brought us silverware and hot water, when we wanted to have a beer on the beach watching the sunset, Wing had cold beer on hand. He called the ferry company when we left to double check the times of the ferries and arranged transport for us at 1:30 in the morning. If you are more of a shy traveler, don’t worry, he was very careful to leave guests their space, and really is so aware of the needs of different travelers, recommending restaurants within our budget or activities that would interest us. Sitting around speaking with him about the Philippines was one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you so much Wing, Rene and Corazón for the amazing time in Camiguin!

Clean place, sheets, and towels - they'll clean your room every day! Quiet.. Comfortable bed. Good value for money. 5-10 minutes walk to mini sari-sari store and a few local restaurants. All the staff are nice. Free purified water!

None. It would be great to have an electric kettle in the room so you dont have to go out at night/ esp when it's raining.to get hot water at the reception area.

The worst part of staying in Bahandi is that you’ll have to checkout eventually. We had 4 wonderful nights there because the place itself is confortable and in the way of most of Camiguin’s attractions. The room is super clean and comfortable and the view of the garden with coconut trees facing the sea is unforgettable. There’s also a delightful space with hammock to spend a few hours reading a book, exercising or working with a beautiful view. But Wing, the owner, is something else: a great and funny guy, always ready for interesting conversations and to help with everything my husband and I needed (even a first aid kit). Make sure you ask him about what to do, see and eat in the island But I’m sure he will tell you :) Thanks again, Wing! We’re really looking forward to spend some more time in your wonderful place! Miss you already!

Amazing stay at Bahandi. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The outdoor space and location is very quiet and relaxing and the staff were amazing throughout. All so friendly, helpful and welcoming. They offer laundry service at a very good price and can help with hiring a bike or any other activities on the island. We would love to return in the future!

Nothing!

This family run Lodge was a real little gem. It is small, quiet, yet not far from the main attractions and best restaurants. The room is of decent size, bed comfortable with nice soft and silky sheets, and bathroom basic, but it covered all the necessities. The bed is made eveyday by the lady who does the rooms, Corazón. The commom area is very welcoming and allows for yoga as there are mats and even props! A special mention goes to Wing, the kind, gentle, attentive and very very helpful host. He made our stay at Bahandi all that more special. We especially aporeciated being able to use cutlery for breakfast. We didn't have takeaway, but some guests do that also for dinner.

We were unlucky with the rain! That's all!
