Nypa Style Resort Camiguin

A serene accommodation in Camiguin. My husband and I stayed at one of their nipa-style huts for our anniversary night. From arrival, we received a very warm welcome from their staff, Jennelyn, and the wonderful owner, Illena! The room we stayed at was quiant-yet-well-appointed, with a nice bed, enough lounge chairs and tables, and a bathroom that comes with a bidet and hair dryer. Aside from being a fantastic host, the owner is a great cook/chef, too, who served us delicious jams, canapés, bread, and pancakes at their in-house restaurant, Sapore. The pineapple & ginger jam was TDF! They can also arrange a Swedish massage for you, if you so desire. Or you can just have a couple of beers and lounge in their rustic pool. You can tell that the place was well maintained and well run by how clean everything is. Definitely consider this if you're visiting the island!

After checking maybe all beachfront resorts, I can say with confidence that this is the best place to stay on the island, surely for the midrange resorts! As I travel most of the time, I already know the feeling when I arrive to a place and I just feel that it’s the perfect place for me. There are several types of Nipa bungalows, differ in sizes but they are all beautiful, well attended and maintained, tastefully decorated, comfortable and inviting. Every small detail in the bungalows shows the touch of love from the owners. The bungalows are apart from each other and you have your privacy in the tranquil atmosphere of the beautiful garden nestled in the beautiful nature of Camiguin. The kind, lovely and most helpful owners (Ilenia and Stefano), live here and that for sure makes the whole difference. The Italian restaurant on the premises, serves delicious Italian food and home made pastry in a quality that surely is very hard to achieve in such a remote island- but they do it in every single meal again and again. When I finish my day of traveling and feel so happy to come back to my amazing bungalow, I know that I found “my place” and that it will be hard to leave until the next time I’ll surely come back. True, it’s not a beach front resort and that’s the reason that I checked almost all beach front resorts on the island, but comparing to the beach front options that I saw, I had no doubt that Nipa style resort, is the best choice. Driving the rented motorbike, will take me anywhere and any beach or waterfall and ocean view in the island. And anyhow, the beauty of the island is superb, but the beaches are not the main reason to come to this island (not the best beaches in the Philippines), but the overall beauty, good vibe and uniqueness of this volcano island, is what makes it so special and enjoyable. As I said, for me, there is not really a doubt that it’s the best place to stay in Camiguin! Thank you Ilenia, Stefano and the team of the resort, for such a great time in your amazing place 🙏🙏
