Camiguin Volcan Beach Eco Retreat & Dive Resort

Breakfast can be rated as fairly good in contents , qualiity and presentation . However , for its a bit pricy for asian equations . So was meals/dining options . Ambience and upkeep of property is almost heavenly . Staff is well trained and amazingly pleasant , while also extremely polite . The resort is more focused on the essential theme of the island eg , diving , snorkeling, hiking . Contrary to assumed notions what a "resort" should have , there is no swimming pool or gymnasium - you can't get enough time and energy for this and hence may not be a typical guest's wish for these . The German origin proprietor , Gabriel - interminable with guests every day , he is very friendly , welcoming and shares his knowledge for many aspects of tourists' interests . He is a top notch sea diver .

The ocean front room was gorgeous. Bed was very comfortable and great views and breeze. No issues without a/c and only a fan. The water is natural spring water, so you can drink from the tap. The food was *excellent* and the staff were very friendly. You'll meet Gabriel and his wife, the owners. They help set up excursions around the island and there's a family vibe; you really get to meet the other guests and get to know them. Mantigue Island is close by with **amazing** snorkeling.

What a idyllic place and a warm welcome by the friendly staff. The resort has a peaceful, natural ambiance. We had a deluxe room, we enjoyed the comfortable bed, airco and own terrace. The rooms are placed in an open garden which give a spaceful, natural feeling. The kitchen is very good, we enjoyed breakfast like pancakes and yoghurt with delicious fruits, and dinner has plenty of vegetarian options. I definitely recommend the mongo bean soup. There is a bamboo platform at the sea to enjoy the sea, sunset and stars. There is also a small ladder to go into the sea and enjoy the quite beautiful “house reef”. Volcan Beach has the advantage that it has its own dive club. We planned to do dives at Mantigue, but due to the rough sea we went to Blue Lagoon. We didnt regret that, since the two dives were both beautiful with a very steep coral reef. The dive guides are Jake and Elly who just started at Camiguin like 1 month ago. Jake was our guide, we were with two so quite a luxuary that we had a guide for our own. That came with the advantage that he could take some time for us since it has been a while since our previous dive. Summary: definitely go to Volcan Beach when you look for a comfortable room in a natural space, and enjoy the good kitchen, friendly staff and diving club.

Hotel atmosphere was super nice , really nice vegetation full of palms and nice plants topical from the area . The cabins has different types depends of how much you want to expend , in my case i been my first night in garden view but after I moved to superior room with private cabin and in front of the beach was really good and totally worthy to pay a little more cause experience is much better . The decoration of the units are like tropical feeling and was very clean ! Owner is a German guy that was all the time pending of the people in a good way , he is the reference person to help and organize the planing for the activities. About the activities they help you to organize all and they pick from the hotel , including food and all the equipment in case you need fir each activity . The staff has always a smile in the face and they are never feel stress . About the stress topic is good but they take time for prepare your order , recommended to no arrive hurry in the breakfast time cause in this country ( in a good way ) they don’t stress and go little by little . The hotel is located in front of the beach , no in the more center point but for me was better cause was very relax and easy to access with tuc tuc in 5 minutes to the area with some small restaurants. When I been there I feel immediately more relax and I recomend totally , also the sunset view is super nice with the see in front and the sun on you !

Had a great time, thanks to all the staff for being so polite and accommodating and the Filipino tour guide was really nice guy, cant remember his name off hand but the staff will know who im talking about. Loved the villa, didnt realise it was actually open to the elements but I preferred it to be honest, felt authentic.
