My stay at Binatana sa Paraiso was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I made my booking, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my experience was seamless. They even arranged a car pickup for me, which was a smooth and comfortable ride. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the most welcoming and cheerful staff. Their hospitality truly set the tone for our stay. I had a couple of special requests since we arrived on Christmas and the following day was my boyfriend’s birthday. The staff not only accommodated all my requests but exceeded my expectations. They arranged a stunning romantic dinner setup that made the occasion unforgettable and a dreamy floating breakfast that was just perfect. The beachfront location is simply breathtaking, with unbeatable views of the sunset that create the perfect ambiance. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Binatana sa Paraiso is a hidden gem, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway. I’ll definitely be coming back! Special thank you to Ate Charry , one of the staffs there who attended to all my special requests.
I’d like to preface this by saying how much I miss Camiguin and my time at Bintana sa Paraiso! While searching for accommodations, Bintana sa Paraiso in Binunsaran truly stood out to me. Although I explored other options, I was certain that this was where I wanted to stay. Upon my arrival at Camiguin airport, Kuya Chito, their friendly driver, was already there waiting for me. The ride to the property was a quick 10–15 minutes, and from the moment I arrived, I immediately fell in love! (as someone who lives in a building-dominated city, it just always hits different when you’re by nature—mountains, trees, the sea, etc.) The entire place is just as beautiful in person as it looks in the pictures. The views are absolutely stunning and relaxing! (yes, I requested an upper unit for better views 😊, and when I asked if I could be moved to the next unit to the left for even better views, they happily made it happen) Both units I stayed in were nice, comfortable, and had spacious bathrooms! While some amenities differed between the units—for example, one had a TV and a sofa bed while the other included a hairdryer, a full-length mirror, and a ceiling fan—it wasn’t an issue at all for me. Just something to keep in mind if you have specific preferences. There’s Wi-Fi everywhere, though some areas can be spotty. If you’re a remote worker, I’d suggest staying outdoors (on the porch/balcony or in the restaurant) where the connection is more stable. You won’t have to worry about the occasional power outages as they have a generator. You also won’t have to worry about safety, as they have a private guard on duty every night. I enjoyed spending my nights on the balconies, working and then waiting for sunrises. It can get quite chilly up there, though, especially when it’s raining, so I suggest packing some warm layers. Although I didn’t order a drink from their bar, I did enjoy the food selection in their restaurant. Everything was great and portioned for two people. Their Surol? Oh, I'm obsessed! Kuya Dodong, the chef, you're the best. Thank you for setting up the Kawa bath as well :) Now, let me talk about the other staff, who were all wonderful! First, the guys: Jay, the gentle one. He arranged my transfer from one unit to another, which I truly appreciated. When I almost forgot to request a beach towel, Jay was more than prepared and proactively handed it over to me along with bottles of water before I headed out for a tour. Then there’s Arvie, the nice (and good-looking haha) one, who is always ready to assist. He arranged a ride for me one night to Utopia Café. JL, well, he’s the one I had the most conversations with. He not only assisted with my luggage and drove me to Utopia but also took some of my pictures. He even shared some rambutan from their yard—definitely went above and beyond! I didn’t see Drex much during my stay, likely due to his shift schedule, but he was always polite and friendly! Onto the ladies: Kristin, Gretchen, Chelo, and Ma
When planning my Camiguin trip, one place stood out on where to stay. Balai is just a few kms. from the town proper and the airport and is suitably located near restaurants as well as to the boats for White Island. I loved the place -- small but secluded, clean, tastefully designed and quiet as its far from the Circumferential Road. The reception staff headed by Rachel was very attentive and helpful as she led and oriented us to our villa. I also had a chance to meet one of the owners Alessandra on the day of our check out. Our villa was spacious and comfy with a strong AC (to counter the summer heat) and of course a delightful private pool. Really enjoyed a night swim with a bright half-moon overhead. Breakfast was a choice of 3 set menus. They had a poolside bar and a restaurant where we did not avail as we opted for outside recommendations. I would definitely and highly recommend this boutique resort especially to honeymooners and couples who are into scuba diving as Alessandra and her hubby are into this activity. I'm sure they'll have a lot to share on this.
It has a Swimming Pool but small. Although it may not meet my criteria of the kind of Pool whenever we Go to resorts, the island is surrounded by beaches and mountains that we ought to treck and swim upon. But the place has a Very nice ambiance. Cool music on evening gigs, and kids Amenities to compensate for lack of Space. Hence tic tac toes, chess, and other puzzles are free to use during lul Times. True to its name, its a Good place to unwind. The staffs are friendly, courteous, and chill.
