Villa Camotes

It was very peaceful and beautiful location. Personnel were very friendly and helpful.

It’s not close to the market to buy food

Great quiet place! Awesome pool! Awesome staff! I can’t say enough good things about Villa Camotes!

Excellent view and excellent villa. Low amount of people and perfect for nice quiet vacations. Also it is almost never windy and the sea is pretty flat (unlike west part of island). Corals nearby are nice to see. I saw sea turtle there twice. Hospitality from Mercy and Oppa was great, very warmly and pleasant.

Nic-nic :-( And would be good if external beach nearby would be cleaned from trash.

L'accueil et la disponibilité de Mercy et de son mari. Le site est magnifique, vue sur la mer. Le confort de l'appartement, très propre .

Un peu loin des restaurants ou autre. Toutefois, il était facile de trouver un tuk tuk avec l'aide de Mercy

Minna ist einfach nur grosse klasse!Es war ein perfekter Aufenthalt!

Nichts.Alles war top!!!

This is a great and quiet place to stay. It's one of the best you can choose here, if not the best. Wonderful situation with see view, amaysing garden with swimming pool and comfortable rooms. An almost private beach is only steps away. The service is more than perfect. We enjoyed 6 days at Mina's Hause called Villa Camotes, and it was not enough.

The gardens are beautiful, full of flowers and birds. The pool is gorgeous and overlooks the bay which is easily accessed. Mercy & Oppa are very friendly and welcoming and invited us to spend NYE with them!

We had an amazing 2 weeks at Villa Camotes. Mina is the prefect host and Mercy & Oppa were so helpful during our stay. the house had everything you could need - quiet new aircon, well supplied kitchen, very fast wifi (starlink). The pool area is beautiful and a great place to relax and the gardens are very well maintained. The house is a short walk (10 mins) from the beautiful Santiago beach which has several small restaurants (very cheap and very tasty) and there are a few small shops to buy groceries and a couple of bakeries there. We were so sad to leave and would thoroughly recommend Villa Camotes to anyone

Merci & Opa are the best host caretakers you can get! Great people 👍 Marvellous sea view from the front balconies. Beautiful garden with calamansi and papaya tree ( before Taifun). Staff is doing everything to feel comfortable. Thank you so much! Recommended for sure 👍

We weren't so lucky because of very strong Taifun time. But most important nobody was injured. Camotes people are great 🫂

Отличное расположение, однозначно очень красивое место на этом острове, Мерси и Оппа сделали всё чтобы мы к ним вернулись) остались очень довольны

La propriétaire et le personnel essaient vraiment de tout faire pour rendre le séjour agréable. La vue est sympa. Les jardins sont bien entretenus. L’appartement est propre. Il y a une piscine plutôt agréable, mais comme la plupart des piscines aux Philippines, elle n’est pas profonde et donc on ne peut pas vraiment nager. Il y a une plage en bas mais nous ne l’avons pas utilisée pendant le séjour.

Malheureusement, nous avons rencontré quelques soucis lors de notre séjour. La climatisation dans le salon était en panne, ce qui nous a surpris car ce n’était pas indiqué dans l’annonce. Nous nous attendions à en avoir une, comme indiqué sur l’annonce. Nous avons séjourné en famille (2 grands enfants) et demandé 2 lits supplémentaires, car nous préférons qu’ils restent dans la chambre des parents. Tout cela avait été arrangé avant le séjour, mais à notre arrivée, ils avaient simplement posé 2 matelas très fins par terre. Quand nous nous sommes plaints, ils ont tout de même fait l’effort d’acheter de nouveaux matelas (mais toujours à poser par terre). Dernière chose : notez bien que si vous restez un dimanche, il n’y a pas de ménage ni de petit-déjeuner, car le caretaker ne travaille pas (et, bizarrement, ils n’ont pas de remplaçant).

Prachtige groene oase aan zee. In 2 minuten op het strand. Brandschoon. Enorme vriendelijke gastvrijheid en elke vraag of verzoek wordt meteen beantwoord. Absolute aanrader.

We felt so welcome here and were sad to leave after a magical few days with merci and oppa! They always went the extra mile to make sure my family was comfortable. Lovaly pool with a view and great location very close to the santiago bay beach. I highly recommend it. Looking forward to coming back one day!

Beautiful place quiet walking distance to beautiful Santiago Bay Beach.

A bit far from store and main road

When you get to villa the location is super. They sent good arrival information beforehand. View was great, pool was nice and everything was easy to arrange with Merci. The staff was availlable to fix everything quickly. Only three apartments so nice and quiet. Lovely garden. No restaurant on site but breakfast was arranged and other basic meals could be ordered from hostel.nearby. Good cooking facilities. Defenately the best place where we stayed at our holidays at Philippines. If you go to Camotes, this is a lovely place stay!

Minor details that I would fix: less fragance on washing linens and towels, something to the feet of chairs so they are not so noicy to move around, if some mornings there is no availability for breakfast this could be announced early in the previous day so there is time to arrange selfservice. But like said, these are minor things.

The view is amazing! The private beach is gorgeous and super comfy bed! Mercy and her husband are two of the nicest people I have ever met, they can’t do enough and such good fun too! Would revisit just to see them!

Everything was perfect.

Where do I start ? It was a most friendly welcome ii & my friend experienced , They not only showed us the lovely (almost like an apartment toured the grounds also ,.They do main meals pre order but we decided to walk but the Breakfasts were cooked on the premises were lovely

N/A

Great location, beautiful grounds and view. The cottage was perfect.

Nothing

We had a very comfortable stay. It was quiet and the atmosphere was just very lovely. It was super relaxing. It is a secluded property, so it felt like you're at home and kinda not. Fresh air, you could see all the colors of nature. There were 2 lovely and very friendly dogs, Brownie and Hershey. They always came to us to play or just to greet us! Plus, Ate Mercy, the prettiest and nicest Host I've ever met. She even guided us to the shortcut, where the small stores were. She was always ready to help or accomodate us, if ever we've needed something. She felt like a friend to us! She always made sure we felt safe! (Cause we were 3 young ladies travelling)

Nothing. Everything was perfect. Worth the price!

I like the property itself. Relaxing place with pool and good access to the beach. Mercy and Oppa are very helpful and approachable. Place was very clean, good breakfast. Feels like home.

I would suggest to provide the number of ate mercy once there is a confirmed booking already for communication purposes

Mercy and her husband gave us a very warm welcome. They keep the property very clean and are there to help with whatever is needed. Small convenient shops, beach and restaurants in walking distance. For anything further away you can rent scooters or tricycles. My husband, toddler and me really loved our stay and are happy to come again.

Around July there is a lot of algae at the private beach, so we didn't like swimming there (not the properties fault they did their best to clean it up). In the end, it wasn't a big deal at all, because in just 10min walking distance there was Santiago public beach, which was quite enjoyable. And at other / cooler times of the year you shouldn't be bothered with algae anyway. Still worth staying at Villa Camotes anytime - the view alone is fantastic.

The villa is a dream. The view is fantastic. The crew is welcoming and accommodating at all times. The rooms are not very big but that is not necessary as we were outside most of the time anyway. Camotes is a nice village. Mercy is a good cook and the food is delicious!

The beach is unfortunately not very tidy (rubbish). but a short walk away is the beautiful santiago beach

fabulous garden, breathtaking view from swimming pool, direct access by stairs to the small beach , great snorkeling just in a front of the hotel, peaceful location with birds singing , free water, delicious breakfast , friendly and polite hosts, villa was of a good size with comfortable beds

Isolated location - you have to be a good driver (scooter or bike ) , road is really bumpy , no shops nearby, or decent restaurants ( not a problem if you drive )

Clean pool with seaview and steps down to the private beach. Well maintained garden. We want to highlight the super service of Mercy and Opa. They organized everything for us. Motorcycle and even transfer at 3am to the ferry port. Salamat kaayo para tanan :-)

Spectacular view. The host was very accommodating and very pleasant. Hersheys (dog) was placid...it was a bonus.

Nothing

Everything was just perfect. Even we checked in 4hour before check in time the wonderful mercy and oppah managed to host us perfectly and even sing some karaoke with us at the beautiful pool. Rooms are very clean, breakfast is outstanding, the view is breathtaking and the friendly dogs are the cherry on the top. Definitely will come back

Nothing to complain.

Beautiful and nice accommodation with nice people WHO helped everytime :) perfect clean service, beautiful pool, garden, Private beach.

Nothing :)

- great location, near Santiago beach - beautiful view from the pool - really peaceful with a lot of privacy - good breakfast - amazing and helpful staff - towels were so soft and smelled really nice - big and cosy room - bonus point for cute dog

Wifi is a little weak in the room, but works perfectly in the pool area. They also have a table and chairs there if you need to work.

The lovely Mercy and her husband met us, gave us a refreshing drink and showed us everything about the amazing grounds Set us up with WhatsApp for any needs and ordering breakfast.

Nothing to dislike other than our time went too fast and we had to leave and go back home.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE experience all around. We were greeted by the owners to gain entry and retrieve the keys. They carried our luggage into the rooms and offered a menu so we could place an order for home cooked meals if we wished to. After settling into the air conditioned rooms we explored the grounds finding that the views were absolutely breathtaking, from the font of our villa we could hear only nature and ocean. We walked to the crystal clear pool and fond that it was the perfect temperature with an even more beautiful view. Private beach felt safe and was exquisite.

Not one thing. I genuinely enjoyed every moment there.

Friendly staff, room service was excellent, they went above and beyond for us to have the best time. The private beach and the amazing view from the pool to the ocean. Lovely dogs called Brownie and Hershy were a huge addition to our stay.

Location was perfect for a visit to Camotes Island. Superb location with a Private Beach and well connected to the main road and close to all the main tourist destinations. Great pool, amazing landscaped gardens and a really amazing little Boutique Hotel. Super relaxing stay and perfect, faultless facilities. Will definitely return for longer on our next trip to Camotes.

Simply beautiful, a genuine paradise. Serene and peaceful. The perfect place to unwind and relax for a while.

Literally nothing. It was just perfect.

it was great experience, everything prettier than the picture, i highly recommend there if you wanna take vacation own your time and even you can have a great beach campfire experience if you pay to them

There is a small noise coming from Santiago Beach, but it didn't bother me

The location is superb. The villa is nestled on a cliff with a view of and access to its own beach. The hosts and staff were friendly, kind and hospitable. The private locale lets you experience the sunsets, beach, pool and landscaping however you want.

There is very little not to like.

Martin, thank you for sharing your home with us, and thank you for the pickup at the Port and booking our ferry tickets to our next destination. Mercy and Oppa, thank you for taking care of our daily breakfast and other errands we required. Tony, thank you for driving us around places and dropping us back to the Port.

The room needs improvement to more modern furniture with tv and air-conditioned in the living room. Bathroom floors need new tile grouting, and sink needs upgrade. Bedroom needed new mattress and better quality of linens. Also, pillows that are more comfortable. I also understand that this is only a two year old family business owned, and it takes time to get things going, and we understand. If we have another opportunity to visit Camotes, we will stay in Villa Comtes again.

The short walk to the beach was great. We saw so much beach wildlife because of the tide and after the walk down to the beach it felt like private access to the marine life

very remote! It was great, but just be aware that that’s what you sign up for!

very nice owner and personeel. location is beautiful love the bed - comfortable and smell good

The photos on booking.com sometimes make the property look better than it actually is, but not in this case. The bungalow was beautiful, set in a large very well-maintained garden full of tropical plants. The infinity pool was great and we had it all to ourselves. Then there is the private beach reached by steps…fabulous! The staff were brilliant and very helpful in arranging motorcycle hire. Breakfast was served on the terrace and was spot on. Martin, the owner was a lovely guy full of interesting and helpful advice. Reached by a rough track the property is very private and peaceful. Absolutely loved it!

The owner was outstanding with everything to do with our stay. The property has an amazing view and is great to just relax. The whole way our stay was handled was outstanding.

Only thing to make this a better stay would be to stay longer. Wonderful place.

Great accomodation, perfect host, beautiful pool, would come again

Nothing!

Facility and hospitality. Tho the host live within the compound still they let us use the facility without limitations.

The beach nearby is not swimmable. The location is quiet far and need a transport, if not then the host I guess will offer a transportation for a certain amount.

From far my favourite stay ever!!!! The private beach and pool are just incredible! The staff is so helpful and so nice. The villa is close to a restaurant and public white sand beach with lots of small restaurants aswell. Don’t hesitate to book this amazing villa!!!! My only regret is that my stay there was way too short! Thank you for everything!🙏🏽

The villa and its surroundings were lovely. There was a nice pool area and direct access to the sea. Instead of heading out, we ended up spending the night at the villa watching the stars and enjoying the serenity. The room was well-equipped, and everything was in a very clean condition. The host and the staff were super friendly and helped us with all of the questions that we had before our stay. Location was convenient. Walk to the nearest restaurant only took 5 minutes and, in 10 minutes, you could walk to the beach and find more restaurant/bar options. In case you don't feel like leaving the villa, they also have a selection of food and drinks to order. Unlimited amount of filtered water was available free of charge which really made our lives easier. All in all, Villa Camotes definitely offered value for money.
