    The BEST PLACE to stay in Camiguin

    There is nothing I didn’t like. Our stay was perfect.

    We really enjoyed our stay here! Jerome, together with the rest of his staff, provided very personal service. Aside from the impeccable service, the resort itself was perfect! We loved the spacious villas with comfortable beds and many pillows! Our villa also had our own terrace where we enjoyed our breakfast (alternatively, you can have breakfast served at the garden area facing the beach). Inside the villa, there is a fridge with a varied selection of wines, which was a great touch. Another thoughtful touch was that there were biscuits and chips you can consume in case you get hungry in the middle of the night (you have to pay for the wine and biscuits you consume upon check-out of course, but at least you won’t worry about not being able to satisfy your midnight pangs). The location was excellent since it was very close to the airport and also very close to the pier that will take you to White Island. The dogs here are very friendly and well-trained — even when the dogs see breakfast is being served at the terrace, they don’t come close to the table while you’re eating. So even for people who are not too fond of dogs, TRUST ME, you will still enjoy your time here. For dog-lovers though, this is heaven! Overall, we had the most wonderful time here and I HIGHLY recommend this place because here at SomeWhere Else, you will feel like a valued guest.

    The room that we booked for 5 nights was too big for 2 people. There are many stairs inside our unit and can be dangerous, especially at night.

    Location. The property provides free rides to restaurants every night. They provide free pick-up and drop off to the airport. We had a delicious breakfast, and it is included.

    Outstanding Resort - perfect stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Le Ryadh Villa (4 Adults)
    • Stayed 5 nights

    well, the black sand on the beach instead of a white sand beach? no, to be honest, there is nothing what I don't like and when I read all the reviews before booking, I could not find any negative review - because there is nothing to complain about it!

    Where to start? I liked everything... This resort is absolutely amazing and Jerome the host is really caring about his guests (every evening he drove us to a restaurant for dinner and picked us up again). The resort is quiet and relaxed, huge space in the villas, very comfortable and beautiful designed, beds are comfortable, bathroom with rainshower, refrigerator in the room, fast wifi (Starlink!), laptop safe. Breakfast is served in the lounge area of your villa or if you prefer, in the shadow under the palm trees on the beach. Jerome will give you a small cellphone during check in with his number in the contact list, so whenever you need something, just give him a call. If you like to explore the island, Andrew is a great guide and driver to show you around, Really recommend snorkeling at the sunken cemetery, a boat trip to white island and of course scuba diving or snorkeling at Mantigue island. This was one of the best places I have ever stayed - thank you!

    This has been one of the best places we had during our 3 weeks holiday in multiple locations in Philippines. Jerome is a great guy, keeping the cleaning (and confort) standards of the property very high, being also a great host and briefing us about our visiting options on the island. The fact that he could rent us a car has been also a big plus for us. Overall, the complex has a very pleasant vibe and we felt extremely well here!

    Somewhere Else - not only the name of this resort is unique. This marvellous place at the beach is one of a kind and went beyond our expectations. We haven't been to a better resort in Camiguin or even the Philippines. The owner of this resort is exceptional if it comes to caring for the guest's happiness and their experience on Camiguin Island. The cottages are great, somehow a piece of art, nonetheless well thought-out. This is shown in details like the outside shower or a flash light to wander around in the nice gardens of the resort or island pathways at night. Besides, the beds are comfortable, the bathroom is modern and very spacious, the outside lounge area is great and the "minibar" is very well equipped. Besides the beach there is a pool as well. And last but not least, their breakfast is delicious and beautifully arranged.

    We came here with our two kids and had a wonderful stay! Jerome's recommendations for restaurants and day trips were incredibly helpful. Breakfast was served in the villa which was great for us. We were also offered free TukTuk rides to and from restaurants for dinner. All the staff were very accommodating und friendly. Our villa was very spacious and the outside patio had enough room to spread out. Also I have to mention that there is more space than usual for drying wet clothes ands towels. We would definitly come here again! Thanks to everyone at SomeWhere Else

    Would be lovely to have more lights by the beachside.

    Did a family trip over a weekend. The place is absolutely tranquil and relaxing. We got the resort all to ourselves, which made it really private and comfortable. We all loved it, from their services, breakfast, and to the owner, who is quite hospitable. Highly recommended, definitely would be coming back. We all loved the dogs in the property,they are quite adorable.

    There is nothing to not like. If you don't like it here there must be something wrong with you.

    Simply the best in Camiguin and probably all of Philippines. I wasnt sure what to make of all the rave reviews of this place, but now i know. From the spacious and well appointed villas set in a tropical paradise to the exceptionally wonderful service from Jerome and his team. This place is a stand out for all the right reasons. Camiguin has so much to offer and Jerome and his team will help you get the most out of it. Whether you want to relax and really soak up the serenity of the property, or if you want to explore the island all day, you can do as much or as little as you want. The team make everything easy. Perfect for honeymooners through to families, you can get all the help you need while still having privacy and serenity. Everything you need is here and more. From free airport transfers, to free transfers to restaurants for dinner, to a scrumptious breakfast and fantastic amenities. Even little details, they have thought of everything. Don't hesitate to book this place. It is truly worth every peso.

    We decided to spend 3 nights at Somewhere Else Boutique Hotel during our honeymoon in the Philippines. It was certainly the right decision! The villa was amazing, special touches everywhere and fully equipped. The garden and pool are also very nice. Breakfast on the beach was delicious. The motorbike we rented with Jerôme was ready upon arrival and was in very good condition. Overall Jerôme was an amazing host. Always ready to help and also respectful towards the guest privacy. We had great conversations with him every morning and followed his valuable advice while visiting the island. This is the place to stay in Camiguin, you won't regret it! Merci beaucoup Jerôme!
