SANTIAGO BAY RESORT & RESTAURANT

Hotel €€

This is Camotes' n°1 hotel (especially for its heavenly setting). Rooms are basic but comfortable, and some have sea views. The staff are very attentive. And the restaurant is open to all, offering Filipino and Western cuisine. Nothing fancy, but the dishes are good (the sizzling gambas, for example), albeit a little more expensive than elsewhere. We come here above all to enjoy the setting and the superb view over Santiago White Beach.

CAMOTES BACKPACKERS HOSTEL

Youth hostel

Just a 10-minute walk from Santiago beach, this is a youth hostel just like the others. Double rooms in traditional nippa huts, clean and decent dormitories and functional sanitary facilities. What we really appreciate is the atmosphere: the two hosts, Rein and Marcel, are unfailingly friendly, and during the day, the few travellers gather under the restaurant's patio (very good, by the way) to chat and play with them.

CAMOTES HIDDEN HUTS

Lodge €€

Nestled in a green setting, these magnificent bamboo huts with terrace and bathroom combine the charm of an atypical dwelling with comfort and practicality (hot water and air conditioning). Frank and Dani welcome you to their hidden paradise with hospitality. The restaurant offers Filipino and Western dishes of remarkable quality (and quantity!), all homemade and absolutely delicious. As an added bonus, sunset over Bakhaw Beach is just a few meters away. Excellent value for money. My favorite is Hidden Huts!
