Camotes-Hidden-Huts

It is a lovely place, charming, unpretentious, lovingly decorated, with a profound attention to details. This reflects a very attentive, professional, efficient management by the very convivial and dedicated owners. As a result, Hidden Huts offers a quality of life that is far above what I typically experienced in the Philippines. And it attracts exceptionally friendly and educated guests, which also contribute to an overall magnificent experience. The huts are comfortable, with good lightning, showers, furniture, and a nice private terrace to relax. The grounds are lovely, full of flowers and artistic touches. The common areas are very pleasant. The restaurant offers, from early morning to evening, a vast choice of excellent, Asiatic and European, inexpensive, foods and drinks. It is sufficiently remote from the Huts to avoid any disturbance. Service is amazing: cheerful, efficient, perfect. Fresh drinking water is systematically provided. Fans keep the perceived temperature pleasant. There are almost no mosquitoes, I got stung only a couple of times over 25 days. Laundry service is assured for a nominal fee. Massages are inexpensive and splendid. The traditional Kawa bath is a must. WiFi is first class throughout the resort. The beach is a few meters away, and beautiful. The owners provide graciously help to satisfy any need. This might have been the exotic dream of Beaudelaire, an exotic place where "Tout n'est que luxe, calme, and volupté". Luxury, calm, and voluptuousness indeed. A dream.

Some neighbors often play loud music. Fortunately, not after 10p.m. The air-conditioning was efficient but hard to control -- too warm or too cold. These two points explain the 9s I gave on location and comfort.

The quality of the accommodation and food was exceptional. The huts are great and the build quality and fittings are very good. The location is just back from the beach, super easy to get to the lovely long white sandy beach. I love the layout of the grounds in which the huts stand and the gardens and art are thoughtful and beautiful. There is a hot tub, which we did not try, but looks super romantic and fun. There are lots of little thoughtful touches... e,g, the outside showers for washing your feet before going to your hut, good lighting, good aircon and wifi, and a tiny fish pond. The staff are excellent... I mean "super" excellent, the equivalent of 5 star hotel trained but with a homely and friendly feel. For example, they saw us going to the beach and, unasked, offered a mat for us to sit on... no charge, just thoughtful and anticipating what we might need to enjoy our stay. The hosts are super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Dani sketched out an itinerary for our sightseeing (see pictures of caves, diving platform, beaches) and Frank gave me lots of good tips for living in the Philippines. Thank you! To you both, and your excellent staff. PS - the cocktail mixing is awesome! I cannot stress enough the quality of the food... This is the BEST FOOD I have had in the Philippines, super value, homemade, and the scallops were excellent better than what I can make myself and I consider myself a very good cook. Every dish was first class and the bread was European quality... We were lucky enough to be offered the special sauce burgers with homemade pickles. These were probably the best burgers I have ever tasted (better than 5 Guys, my previous #1).

Saying anything feels disloyal to a place that I rate the best so far of the many many places I have stayed in the Philippines over the last year. For balance here is one minor improvement; please offer French Press or expresso coffee on your breakfast menu.. you probably would have provided it, but I didn't ask! Seriously - This is an outstanding location and VERY good value accommodation and food, better than places charging 2 or 3 times the amount. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut so Frank and Dani don't realise what good value they offer! Or maybe they know and just like to delight their guests.

The property is beautifully designed. Everything is detailed and well thought of. The huts are so nice. Everything is really clean and you just feel a relaxed ambiance. The huts have AC, which gets really cold. They burn mosquito incense all over the property, so there’s not a lot of mosquitoes. The staff were also super friendly. The food is really good. We loved everything we ordered. We later moved to another part of the island and someone said that Hidden Huts has the best food on the island. We only stayed for one night, but I wish we would have stayed longer. I definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

We liked everything.

Lovely property, secluded away in a quiet peaceful area near a beautiful beach, resort is beautifully designed and decorated, with lovely large huts, comfortable bed, good shower and toilet, incredible restaurant and bar with great food. Run by Frank and Dani, who along with their staff can’t do enough to help you. A must if you are staying on Camotes

Beautiful homes surrounded by nature and a beautiful garden, the restaurant was really good from breakfast to dinner, the owner Frank was helpful with us to plan trip around the islands and everyone there was very welcoming. Air conditioning was heaven

It’s not a defect for us, but must say that if you chose this place surrounded by nature you must expect some insects around and inside the huts
