Paraiso was the first of three cave that we visited on Camotes. I recommend you also see it first on your list as it is the smallest. If you see it after the much grander Bukilat cave, you may be disappointed. My girlfriend and I were lucky to have the cave to ourselves for a good half an hour. It was our first experience of swimming in a limestone cave. The water inside is tidal and was about shoulder high when we were there. It was lovely and quiet and quite surreal. Recommend to do it on a weekday as I imagine it would get crowded on a weekend.

It's a small cave and being small has its perks too. You don't need to trek long and difficult path -- a few steps downward and you're there. It was clean and water was cool and clear. The place smelled clean too. It wasn't hard to go down the water. The place was small but everyone can seem to find his own spot and have fun. I enjoyed dipping in the cool waters but I think I'd still have fun if i just chose to simply sit on the edge of the lake. There were a number of people when we're there but we still enjoyed it. I think it would also be a totally different kind of experience if there's not much people...perhaps early in the morning? I don't really know. Overall experience was good!

Like few other caves this one is also too small with nothing much to view. It’s still bigger than the amazing caves.
The cave was nice with a garden on top and a really overexpensive restaurant

Upon entry, one sees beautiful manicured gardens, with nice shady places for picnics, photo opportunities and plenty of seating, which is welcome once you have come out of the caves.
Entry to the caves was well lit, the roof height was sufficient for most taller Europeans . Once in the water, was very refreshing after being outside on a hot day. It was great fun.
Only sadness that day was the pungent smell of urine emanating from the water in the cave.

Nice cave very well kept and in good surroundings. There are many there in Camotes but this is one of the better ones.

This place is difficult to find, well signposted at main road entrances to the track but then nothing more.
Entrance fee is 50 pesos which allows you in to the lovely garden area in which the cave is situated.
As caves go this one is very small and most of the internal structure is man made. There are various paths and steps all created from concrete.
The small pool at the bottom is nothing special. When we visited there were 30+ locals in the dirty water screaming and shouting.
Not a nice experience.
The garden area is the best part with a few sun beds and parasols to relax under.
Beware that even having paid the entrance fee you still have to pay a further 10 pesos to use the bathroom.
There is a small cafe on site and parking is good.

This place or cave is very small. Probably the only informative common/popular destination in Camotes, it's the only one with a guide who runs the place plus he doesn't charge a fee but you can give a donation instead.

the cave is no longer natural. everything's made up to attract tourists. the walls and the floor of the cave is already cemented. I'm not a fan of "unnaturally" maintained caves.
entrance fee- P50
ambiance - unnatural but clean
food - reasonable price

The entrance area of the place is nice where you can see a pretty garden and green scenery. There, we entered the cave and found it small and simple. A small part of water is there for swimming. Well, we took less time to stroll in the place and left for another attraction. As i realized later, the Place had expensive entrance fee compared to other attraction in the island.
