Camotes Serenity♡

Comfort and peace and beauty away from crowds

Nearly everything about the place was outstanding. The breakfasts Mercy cooked for us were delicious each morning. The pool was wonderful and they had toys ready for our kids. Strong wifi for streaming on our phones. They even rented us a scooter which opened up options beyond the few restaurants by Santiago beach and allowed us to explore the island.

− These ended up being minor issues for us but... 1. The TV added no value because there were only a few local news or shopping channels. 2. The beach accessible from the property was pretty nice but to get there you have to walk/wade through a hill of trash that has washed ashore. Not their fault but we only took our kids through that once then visited other clean beaches after that. Bukhaw beach was our favorite. I think if you are here not during July/August that it might be better? These did not ruin the stay for us. Instead of watching TV, we played games including a few that were provided and instead of going down to the beach we spent more time in the great pool.

It was a good homey property. In a peaceful neighborhood.

Heerlijk verblijf als uitvalsbasis om Camotes te verkennen

We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in het appartement met prachtig uitzicht over de zee. Het zwembad is ook fantastisch gelegen. Mercy is een super gastvrije host ter plaatse en was altijd goed benaderbaar. Het is wel noodzakelijk om eigen vervoer te hebben (scooters) om het eiland te verkennen en restaurantjes te kunnen bezoeken.

− We hadden helaas veel last van mieren in het appartement, ik denk alleen niet dat ze hier echt iets tegen kunnen doen.

Very pleasant stay!

Everything was great – the accommodation, the host, and the location were all excellent. The only downside was that the beach below the property was unfortunately quite dirty. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Treated so well, nothing was ever too much. Mercy and Oppa went out of there way to ensure we had everything we needed. Mercy and Oppa collected us and took us back on our last day to the Port. A very relaxing drive to and from the Port. They can even arrange trips with motor bike / side car which is a great way to discover the island. On site Scooter hire was easy, very secure ( not that you needed any security on the island). Bicycles and snorkelling gear was also available for hire. Great choices all cooked fresh breakfast prepared by Mercy. Every morning greeted with a smile. Always warm and friendly and made us very welcome.The food was delicious, a great start to our day. Garden kept in pristine condition by Oppa who was out every morning in the garden cleaning the pool always with a smile and a friendly wave. Short drop down a few steps to what felt like a private, sandy beach with access between coconut trees to another very secluded white sandy beach most of the time apart from the occasional fisherman we were on our own. Infinity flood lit Private pool with water fountain. Views across the bay and lush Gardens. Fresh drinking water fountain which also provides instant boiling water. Air conditioned, private elevated balcony. Very secluded, and quite we simply never wanted for anything. Situated within a very short walk to many restaurants most beach fronted. Always very welcome, great food. Friendly locals always willing to help when asked. You can get a lift anywhere at any time on the back of a scooter, side car or hire the whole mini bus..! for just £10..! which we did when we went off to play flood lit Paddle. Despite tipping every one, because the service was just amazing..we only spent the Pesos we took ( there is a limit you can bring in) with us and ended up coming back with all the dollars we took for spending money..! The pictures give you a taste of what to expect but the real thing is simply paradise..

− Nothing all was very good, and very spoilt for choice.
