If you want a layed back holiday destination than Biliran Island Philippines is a must with water falls to swim in and diving both scuba and snorkeling on some great reefs, we stayed at Chamorita Hotel which is about 10 km from the capital Naval and was impressed straight away by the well maintained gardens and the cleanliness of this hotel with its water front and cottages on the bamboo and newly constructed concrete piers. The rooms were fairly new, clean with en suite air con queen size beds and flat screen TV. Staff were freindly and only to happy to help the food was okay and the beer was cold. All round the best hotel resort we checked the out while in Biliran for the 11 days we were there.

Do not mistake peace and quiet with boring. Chamorita is anything but. In fact it is easily the best overall resort venue in the Naval area of Biliran Island. But that doesn't mean it is perfect in every way. It doesn't have a conventional swimming pool, and the beach is not very good, but it is by the sea with great views to be had. There are also no bathtubs or jacuzzies which I personally love to indulge in, but then the rates are very affordable, so it is hardly a complaint. Accessability is easy as the main road goes right by the entrance. But you will still be some kilometres from Naval city, so transport is to be considered, or there are plenty of trykes passing by ready to give you a ride for a small fee. Probably the most striking feature upon arrival is the amazing gardens that are kept manicured to perfection. You will truly be impressed by their neatness, as well as the birdlife that are attracted to the area. One thing that did bother me a little is that there are a number of employees on site, working in the gardens, canteen etc, and sometimes it was a little hard to work out just who was the employees and who was the customers. They do wear t shirts with the chamorita, but I still nearly got caught out asking a customer for the menu.haha. The service was always good, if a little laid back, and no major mistakes were made. The manager seems to be always on site and he makes sure you are happy [expect him to ask for feedback]. The food was clean and well presented, and remarkably cheap. The rooms are large and seem quite new. The CR was clean and hot water plentiful. [that isn't always the case in Provincial areas] Its actually quite difficult to find faults with Chamorita itself. Just be reasonably ablebodied as there are plenty of stairs and pathways about. You will get an influx of locals from time to time as they enjoy using the beach front shanties for small parties, as well as the Free WIFI.[and it actually works] . But everyone was well behaved during my stay, so no problems there. Just don't expect tooooooooooooo much excitement and you will be truly satisfied with your stay in Chamorita.

The resort itself is a very beauty one, big rooms, nice garden, great view to the ocean. It could be a wonderful stay here, BUT: the staff love it to play and sing (mostly very bad) karaoke – very loud and during the day and evening. For me it unbelievable that the manager don't stop it, because i am sure, that costs him a lot of money of never returning guests… I am really sorry, because the stay here could be so great…

Response from Leo W, Owner at Chamorita
Responded Dec 8, 2015
I am sorry to read this review. However it misstates what happened. The staff does not sing karaoke. This is customers singing, if you check our website karaoke is one of the things offered at Chamorita. Also, the lodging rooms are in two sections. Customer stayed in the original older section and less expensive rooms that are exposed to a little bit of inconvenient noise from the Karaoke. This is the Philippines where karaoke is almost a necessity to attract local non-lodging guest customers and we clearly advertise as available. The newer section is a little more expensive and is not affected by any noise from the karaoke. I would like to have this review removed as it is not true and I can provide further evidence that my employees do not use the karaoke. Thank you for your consideration.

Fair to over-priced but nice aircon rooms. The staff seemed to be on a permanent coffee break and everything just seemed too hard to do. You have to beg to get the room cleaned. No laundry facilities whichis a "must have" for out of the way places such as this.
Transport from this hotel is a major issue. There is no reliable transport services, unless you like overcrowded Taxi-bus, Trikes or whatever. Best to ring for a taxi from your cell phone.
Being a long way from anything, I expected at least a jug and coffee to make up for this. Nothing. No mini-bar too. But it did have a good mini-fridge.
Most items on the menu were unavailable, so ham and egg sandwiches were my main breakfast lunch and dinner.
Take your own jug, cups, t-spoons, coffee sugar and food. Be prepared to handwash your clothes in a bucket. Be careful in the water as lots of rocks and other dangerous obstacles.
You have to pay to use their internet PC. All drinks were sold by the bottle, so no glass of Rum and Coke with ice was available.
It's a nice place, but parts need finishing or building and it is a bit overpriced for this quality of hotel and services, or lack of.
All in all, a pretty place (see photos), but not a place I would recommend due to the above.

First off, I did not stay at this resort. Why? First impression due to poor customer service.
I have to admit that this resort looks really nice and appears to have a lot of amenities that could make for a great stay, however upon arrival to the front desk at the restaurant/bar, the receptionist completely ignored us. We had to ask "Can someone assist us?" and then we were still ignored. After a commercial came on the TV, we were then asked "What do you want?" When we asked for room rates we were told "No available!" and then ignored again.
What a shame and what a sad way to address potential multi-night customers.

Stayed at Chamorita again this year. Surprised they added two new deluxe rooms with split air con, hot water, LCD TV, reefs and very (very) spacious. You just don't find that in the provinces and reasonably priced. Loved it. Made my stay more enjoyable than ever. Looking forward to next visit.

Chamorita is an honestly described comfortable resort positioned in the middle of everywhere to go, and everything to see on this pearl of an island.
After four years of coming and going here, discovering new and exciting places to visit, transport is made easier than ever with purpose-built vehicles for hire [with driver] or motorbikes for rent at reasonable prices.
For us, Chamorita is no ordinary hotel by the sea; it’s a well-run boutique resort nestled within brilliantly manicured tropical gardens blending magically with the water's edge. Yet nothing here is so colorful as the sunsets over the western horizon, and to the east, deep green mountains and rice terraces all within walking distance from our room. Pleasant also is the cosmopolitan atmosphere provided by a constant flow of local and foreigner vacationists. The pure fact that patrons keep on returning speaks volumes for this laid-back getaway. During our recent two months stay here a number of couples had chosen to celebrate their marriage in a romantic function room built upon the resort’s own quay. Fascinating again are local fishermen arriving by boat to offer their catch.
Our only complaint is there’s no collective tip-box to reward all the gardeners, receptionists, cooks, waiters, waitresses, room attendants, laundry workers, security guards, and drivers. The same smiling workers greet us every time we visit; certainly makes one feel at home.
Curious though are a few negative comments on this forum. Allow us to add that this special place is in the Philippines archipelago, not elsewhere in more developed countries, and that in the Philippines a simple smile goes a very long way indeed. It works wonders for us.
Added are some iPhone pictures of our own.

I stayed for a couple of weeks at the Chamorita Resort. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Laid back atmostphere, free wifi, rooms and beds are great, with air conditioners, and staff were great. Better yet it was extremely safe place to stay. My wife and I would stay there again in a minute. I did meet some Americans who had audacious expectations, but this isn't Waikiki. I thought the sunset on the bridge was beautiful and the people were very nice. Better yet any issues we had, the owners- American and Filipino live on site, were taken care of immediately. I loved the fact that the owners coordinate tours and actually go with you on the tours. I cannot say enough about how nice it was. My wife loved it because of the peacefullness and I really enjoyed it because the rooms were nice, Internet was there, and the most important thing for me was safety. I do have to say the hamburgers.....were awesome. God they were delicious.

First day at the bar I ordered a RUM and COKE and was given a bottle with a litre of coke for 100 PHP.
The rooms are clean and you have a choice off non aircon for 900PHP a night, or 500PHP for non aircon.
The rooms have hot showers that work once you let them warm up a little.
The free WIFI is great, although doesn't work all the time.
Owner is friendly.
You can cook your own food and they have a refrigerator for you to use.
All in all we had a great time.
Pity it has rained most off the time, but this is not the resorts problem.

Yes for TV (using Cignal satellite), yes for air con. Rooms 8 and 9 on the lower level have split air con, works great. Naval is about 15 minutes by motorbike.
There are more places to choose from in the Biliran Island area.
