Not beach front. 3 kilometers away from the beach. You get to sleep in a bed. Old sheets but clean. AC was not working properly, but electric fan did. Restroom is okay; clean and has a free soap. Food is okay. No brewed coffee, though; just instant. 2 electric sockets only for a room of 4 persons; no extension wire available. Near the town center.

We booked 2 Standard Rooms with 1 Double Bed and a Pull-out Mattress under it for 3D/2N for a family of 3 adults and 4 kids. The room was very, very small with a small dresser. It is air-conditioned with a small bathroom but no hot and cold shower. The linens were fresh but old. We had to request for the towels and tissue paper. No toiletries were given (maybe you had to request that too). There was no TV nor any sound system inside the room, which means there is nothing else to do at dusk but sleep. It offered free WiFi although slow and free basic breakfast. They have a small restaurant where we ordered our meals. The free parking area offered is on the street. On our first night, some guests were singing at the restaurant karaoke that was so loud and played up to 11 at night. The part-owner and the staff though were friendly. We booked our 2-days Caramoan Island Hopping tour with them. The packed lunch were ordered from them though were too pricey for the quality of food served.…

Headed to caramoan not having any idea where I would be staying or who I am actually going with. Searched online and booked a tour going there and boom I was in caramoan. The agency I was with is soflo travel (good deals, practical, economical and very worth it and they will take care of you - check them out) and I was a joiner so I didn't know the people I was going to be with or the place we were staying at, but that didn't stop me from having a good time and this place made me feel so comfortable to just let my hair down and have a good time. Aftr the 12 or 13 hrs travel from manila I got off the van and walked in to the place. Immediately Googled it and checked it out in trip advisor, I was very relieved because the reviews match the reality. The rooms are new in the annex so it's pretty nice. AC is good. They have a doormat and tissue and you can ask for towels also. The walls in the bathroom also caught my attention cos it showed the little touch of the bricks shows they thought of how it would look like and they wanted to make it nice, not just have a bathroom for the sake of it. Food was awesome. People were really friendly. I give it a five because the view when you go out of the room if you're staying at the annex is awesome. Plus the service of course. Didn't get to meet the owner, wanted to but he wasn't there then. My birthday getaway stay at this place was perfect! 1500 for two nights, pretty good deal if you ask me 😊 WiFi is not that good, it can be improved but I used my data so that didn't really affect me at all 😊 I would recommend staying at this place. 😊 they don't have soap and shampoo, but there is a store just outside of it. …

My husband, and I together with our couple friend went to Caramoan to celebrate their 1st yr wedding anniversary. We stayed for 3days 2nights in Travelers Camp. This place is simple yet Engr. Padua and his staff is so accomodating. The place is located in town’s center, it is in front of Bonifacio Borebor Highschool so pasalubong areas and bus terminal is just a walking distance. The package offered to us includes the whole accomodation, full board meals (hindi nila tinitipid ang guest sa food) and island hoping. The food is super delicious! Fresh fish, gata, talangka, sinigang na baka and so much more. Engr. Padua is so sweet too! Before heading to our island hoping the 2nd day, he told us that he have a lunch pabaon to us with 3 ulam, and a jug of water (how lovely is that!). Caramoan is so marvelous! We love their mini batanes. We also tried snorkeling in the middle of the sea. Ryan and Noe, our sea tourist guides are so friendly too. Overall, we will be back in Caramoan and will stay again here. This is highly recommended for a budget friendly trip :) Travel Tips: Buy your ticket earlier. You can take Penafrancia or Bicol Isarog Bus. Ticket cost 1k + 5pesos insurance. - edsa cubao to naga travel time is around 9-10hrs. - from naga terminal you may take MRR bus line bound to Caramoan. Travel is 2-3hrs. Bus fare is 160.00. You may also take UV express van near SM Naga for faster route. - Travelers Camp is in front of Bonifacio Borebor Highschool. -Engr Padua’s number is (0917) 874 6437. …

Nothing much to say. Just okay for an overnight stay. Very basic amenities. Just soap and towels were set up on the room that was given to us. No tissues , doormat or bathmat or even side tables where we can put our stuff. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Food served for our dinner is okay.

It's a long hard road to the little town and sometimes the road disappears but it is all worth it once you get here . This place deserves its number 1 rating for value for money cleanliness and the food . Clearly , you come here for the island hopping but this place is a bonus to stay the night before you venture out onto the clear blue Pacific Ocean. I went with my philipino friends and family where we booked two rooms . We had freshly caught whole squid served like calamari with chicken rice and other goodies. There is karaoke after if you feel up to it. The next day the small boat was hired by travellers camp people and we were off for the day . We returned mid afternoon having set off very early and could still shower and gather our belongings . I think we got a little discount because a cousin owned a nearby shop but for 8 of us the whole shebang cost about 7,000 pesos or £15 each. That's accommodation ,food and our own boat with two helpers. How much ?…

The best part of staying at this place is that you are well taken care of by the staff. The owner always do whatever it takes to serve us well. They allow us to enjoy our time and have fun even if it means getting a bit more loud since we are a group of 12. They can also meet your demand whenever you have a problem in the meal served (either of the main course or you cannot drink coffee). They are willing to offer you alternatives still. Since we are 12 and has a lot of different demands, we still thank the staff for patiently accommodating us and waiting for us to finish our meal. Thank you for all concerns met. This place is just a simple lodging. But you will love your stay not just because of what they can offer you but on how they accommodate you.

Taking a flight to Naga via Cebu Pacific is the start of your travel adventure. Since inclement weather is constant, have patience in your flight being moved to the next flight / being cancelled. It takes a 3-hour drive from Naga to Caramoan. We decided to take a land trip since it was cheaper. If you prefer to have a shorter trip, then, take a speedboat. We had to hire a Van going to Caramoan. The long winding road going there maybe a challenge, but the view of the sea is breathtaking. The Travelers Camp is located at the center of the Municipality of Caramoan. No beach / pool within the vicinity. Upon checking the rooms, be wary of most electrical outlets in some rooms as they were not functional. This is the same with the water heater inside some of their bathrooms. (we booked 5 bedrooms) Be mindful that the walls and hanging picture frames are not being cleaned. It was quite dusty and some cobwebs have already formed. The food they prepared for us, during our 3 days-2 nights package stay, was simply delicious and bountiful. Crabs, shrimps and fish were cooked in a lot of ways. So no trouble of eating them during your 3 days stay. The staff were always ready to help (even going to the extent of sending them for errands at the nearby store) We missed the first day of tour due to our cancelled flight. The owner (who was based in manila) didn't bother to offer anything (like discount on total package fee/ additional islands to tour/ added food items) as an exchange for the missed itinerary. Though on our second day we had a tour guide with us, we were asked to pay for an entrance fee of 200 to one of the islands and rent of the hut (200/hut). We arrived at another island where we had their packed lunch, but had to pay for the hut (again). So make sure that such fees are included in the tour package.…

Excellent service, great food, & the cheapest package you'll find in Caramoan. Rooms were newly constructed & still need furnishings but all in all, it was a great stay. Kudos to Mr. Padua for an A+ accommodation. Highly recommended!

The place was budget friendly, with clean rooms. We were warmly accommodated by Sir Jun, the owner, who readily replied to our messages/calls and who gladly assisted us since day 1. We were served very delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The island hopping tour was well taken cared of.
