Bahandi Beach Lodge

Clean place, sheets, and towels - they'll clean your room every day! Quiet.. Comfortable bed. Good value for money. 5-10 minutes walk to mini sari-sari store and a few local restaurants. All the staff are nice. Free purified water!

None. It would be great to have an electric kettle in the room so you dont have to go out at night/ esp when it's raining.to get hot water at the reception area.

Lovely garden and pergola/ hammocks

Not clear entrance sign at night

Camigiun island is frankly amazing, pristine and largely undiscovered. Few tourists and the ones you meet are just lovely. No mass tourism here in the way you see Cebu and Moalboal. Bahandi offers very simple accomodation ideal for those who want to switch off and spend a few days connecting with nature in a very simple way. The rooms are simple, a bed, a lamp and a shower. We are a family of 4 who had to book 2 rooms to accommodate us. I would say this accommodation suits couples and single travellers rather than families. I think as a family with young kids we missed a pool. This is not a critique of the accommodation as we knew what we booked. This is on reflection and hindsight. We are quite active, and this lodging was ideal for those who want to disconnect and enjoy peace. The location was central close to alot of eateries, other resorts, white island, coffee shops etc. Camigiun has waterfalls, lovely beaches, scenic drives, snorkel sites etc..you can get a tuk tuk from the airport for 200 pesos to the accomodation. I found all tourism operators on the island to be fair. For a van for 8 hours we paid 2700 pesos. Please ensure you choose a van with a good engine and tyres as alot of the interior is mountainous and you need power to get up there.. other notable mentions are utopia cafe for the most amazing coffee and small meals. We did a day trip to mantigue island and ended up hanging out with a congressman and some councillors.. such is the life on camiguin, everyone mixes together. I will definitely visit camigiun again, I think it is an amazing and versatile place.. everyone is friendly and the pace of life is slow..nothing was a problem. Everyone was friendly and perhaps the biggest thing was how safe it was. We left valuables in the tuk tuk, phones on the table, money on the table and no one touched it. People were always smiling and helpful. Special mention to Nana, Corazon and the watchman, who took care of us and acted as translators, made calls etc.

Please do NOT waste your money and go for breakfast in Bali Si Bai Bai. It is grossly overpriced and not worth the money at all. I would encourage the staff to immediately stop reccomending that place. I would recommend a local healthy and delicious breakfast at Abang Eatery which was varied and the total cost of 1 of the meals we paid at Balai si bai bai.. other notable foodie mentions are Ricos for the most delicious filipino bbq and la dolce vita for fusion Italian and fillipino food it was awesome..

We enjoyed the common area where it was nice to relax

Mosquitos in the common area!

Great accommodation and everyone was super helpful and friendly! Common Area ist great - easy to meet other travelers

Beautiful property with nice shared spaces outdoors.

Amazing stay at Bahandi. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The outdoor space and location is very quiet and relaxing and the staff were amazing throughout. All so friendly, helpful and welcoming. They offer laundry service at a very good price and can help with hiring a bike or any other activities on the island. We would love to return in the future!

Nothing!

Very friendly, caring hosts! You feel welcomed there and they give you a lot of advises for the Islands. Cleaned the room every day - very good! Can really recommend it!

Lovely little guesthouse. Good location, not far from the port or airport. Nice simple breakfast for extra. Very clean room and wonderful staff.

The aircon was quite noisy and quite strong, which made sleeping quite cold but no blankets was available to put on the beds. This is personal preference but i dont sleeping with just a sheet. Yes I could have turned the aircon off but the room got warm very quickly due to the window type. No lunch or dinner offered at the property, so a car/ moped is needed to explore the island and eat.
