Camiguin Island, Northern Mindanao hotel rooms at the Independent

"By Philippines standards, a nice resort on Camiguin Island. Nice layout with green space. Friendly and efficient staff. Food was very good. Room was clean, soundproof, with a nice outdoor bathroom. On the negative side - the eaves do not extend far enough out with respect to the bathroom, so you can get splashing from the rain within the bathroom. Toilet can get wet, along with part of the floor. Note there is construction next door right now. Did not really bother us as we were out 3 of the 4 days we were there. I would stay here again because overall it was a nice spot, nice layout, and friendly staff."

"Beautiful property. Nice and well-kept gardens. Great staff. Dated fixtures and furniture, but it’s okay. Tasty comp breakfast. Food tastes very good"

"Overall we love the property very clean amazing stuff .. love the breakfast buffet "

"Very good!!!"

"Glad I extended my stay. "

"The room and grounds were very clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Being vegan, I didn’t have any difficulty eating meals at the resort’s restaurant, and the food is very good. The resort is very quiet which can be a positive or negative, depending on what you’re looking for. There don’t much within walking distance, but town is a short trike ride away. The wifi signal was weak at times."

"Staff are accomodating"

"We stayed at Kokomo for a week and were really pleased with our cottage with a wrap-around porch by the ocean. The landscaping and gardens in the resort are lush and beautiful. Our room was air-conditioned, had free wifi, with lots of hot water in the shower. Every morning we had breakfast included, which was cooked to order. Visitors could easily sign up for a snorkelling or dive expedition at the property, which has its own boat. If you are looking for a smaller resort with a boho vibe, this is the place."

"The resort is little bit old and worn but very comfortable. The location is good. The staff was wonderful. We had a large group that wanted to barbecue on the beach and they supplied us with a grill, dishes and silverware and even cooked us rice and cleaned up after. The “free” breakfast was barely adequate, but could be greatly improved with a little fruit and pandesal. Watch for the resident sea turtle. We saw it almost every day close to shore at high tide. I went snorkeling with my kids right in front of the resort. It wasn’t the best, but we found lots of interesting things. The day we arrived it was a holiday and the beach was crowded with locals. The rest of the time it was very quiet. My whole family can’t wait to come back. Also, make sure you buy your snacks from the little store in front of the resort. The owner is an old friend and the reason we chose to come here."
