Reviews of Camotes-Hidden-Huts

It was the ideal mixture between comfort and local life. Super friendly staff und delicious food. 10/10

Excellent customer service, cleanliness, restaurant, facilities

Bumpy road to get to the location

Loved the team - shout out to Charles for his excellent service! Absolutely beautiful gardens and huts and the food was amazing - even for vegetarians. Recommend hiring a scooter at the port as there are not many taxis, but the team can arrange them if needed.

Feel like in the jungle! Excellent food in restaurant!

Everything was very wonderful, thank you for taking care of our vegan tastes also.

The road was a little bit bumpy, but we loved staying there.

The service was as good if not better than 5 star hotels. Staff were very attentive, restaurant food was very well prepared and excellent. Bayron, who manages transport and tours was excellent. He can arrange taxis from and to airport, ferries, tours, etc. Facilities are very well maintained but this is not a 5 star Mandrin Oriental type of place. This is the kind of place where you go to relax and get away from everything while experiencing the real Philippines. Frank and Dani have put together a great little holiday destination. Overall one of our best holiday experiences.

Maybe I missed it in the booking but I was caught a bit off guard in finding out that they don’t accept credit cards to pay for extras. Im sure this helps Frank and Dani to keep CHH such a great value just remember to bring cash or plan to use Wise or other form of payment method.

Great atmosphere, excellent service, nice artwork, comfortable hut. Great food. Location 1 min from beach.

Nothing

Attitude of owner and staff, so friendly, helpful, honest… made it a blast for us.

Some things you would complain about at a luxury hotel, but can’t here. The place, the people, all is part of experience and they deserve to receive no complains.

The restaurant is the best on the island and well priced , excellent hospitality staff . Located 200 meters from one of the best beaches on the island.

No mini fridge or kettle in the accommodation , I like to have coffee when I feel like it so that was a bit of a let down , went out and purchased a kettle at the local store 😀.

Facility was great but most of all the always smiling staff and the always present owners were impressive and accommodating. The food from their restaurant was affordable but so fresh and delicious with a big serving per plate.

Property itself was great! Full of mosquitoes though but has a lot of mosquito coils around - tourists should still use anti mosquito lotion.

We loved this place so much, and extended our stay to 5 nights. Where to start. This is just a magical place. You walk in and find yourself in a beautiful garden filled with flowers and artwork created by Dani. The construction of the huts and restaurant are natural and harmonious with the environment. You will never want to leave. There is a beautiful beach steps away where we went swimming every day. It's also the perfect place to watch the sunset. Dani and Frank also lent us beach mats and snorkel gear which was so kind. The huts are roomy and comfortable. I particularly appreciated the nice shower, strong AC, and all the room to hang and store clothes and belongings. I like that the rooms are cleaned every 3 days instead of every day as it is more eco friendly (I'msure they would clean it sooner if requested). The staff were happy to help us empty the bathroom garbage between cleanings. The traditional woven bamboo walls are also very cool. They also have the best restaurant on the island, and many people come to visit so it's a lively atmosphere. There are many affordable options as well. The food is delicious! All of the staff are kind and professional and will take such good care of you. It's such a nice, welcoming atmosphere, you can tell it is a good place to work because of how happy people are. Frank and Dani are genuinely lovely people. Kyle and I are so happy we had the opportunity to spend time with them. We were sad to say goodbye and hope we can visit again soon! Hightly recommend this resort to anyone who wants to have a beautiful holiday exploring Camotes.

We loved everything

This accomodation is an idyllic place to relax. It is very quiet, peaceful and you are surrounded by nature. The staff and the owners make you feel at home and are very kind and helpful. The food is very delicious! We really liked that it was right by the Bakhaw beach which is a very beautiful place. We would love to stay there again someday.

From the moment of arrival till I left the Resort, I felt very comfortable. Starting from the location which is very close to the beach, over the delicious food which has been served in big portions till the comfortable rooms - everything was just great. Thank you for the hospitality to the entire team. You made me feel welcome and home even far away from home.

Very comfortable bamboo huts set in beautifully maintained tropical gardens. Genuinely friendly and welcoming staff and proprietors. Tasty food - including vegetarian options- at reasonable prices. A two-minute stroll to a picturesque and tranquil beach.

If I could change one thing, Camotes Hidden Huts would be literally on the beach, but you can't have everything!

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.

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
