Tongatok Cliff Resort

We loved our stay at Tongatok. The view from our room was amazing and the staff were all super kind and helpful. When my partner was not feeling well, one of their security workers went out late at night to look for yogurt. While he was unsuccessful due to the late time, the owners had some and gave it to us. The food was very good and as we were leaving we met the owner (Frank) who was also super kind and knowledgeable about the Philippines. We will most definitely stay here on our next trip to Camiguin.

A great value for your money. The unit was clean and came with a kitchen sink, large fridge and kettle. The bathroom was basic but clean and had hot water. Bedroom had a TV but we never turned it on, only gripe in room was mattresses were the 5-6in dense foam, very common in the Philippines but way to firm for my wife’s liking. The grounds were well cared for and the view is perfect for sunsets. Like most resorts the star of the show are the employees. Fabulous and friendly. The restaurant is pretty limited in selection but everything we had was delicious.

The views from the resort are wonderful, and the staff is even better. From the moment I was picked up at the airport by Frank, the owner, until the time I left, I felt like my needs were attended to and all my questions were answered. The internet connection was excellent, the food at the restaurant was very good, and the location was safe and well-tended. Great value.

I was here for 3 days and stayed at their Cliff Villa. What an amazing treat to see the spectacular sunset and enjoy the view of the mountains across the clear and turquoise sea water! The host, Frank is also accommodating as well as the staff. The meals were prepared well. However, I wish there are more varieties of Filipino dishes. I do understand it’s an island and can also be a challenge to source the ingredients. Internet was fast, too. Place is very quiet and ideal for relaxation. Frank was kind enough to connect me with a guide to climb with me the famous Mt. Hibok-Hibok. I highly recommend this place.

Our stay in Camiguin was wonderful! Coming here to Tongatok Cliff really helped us experience the island better. They provided shuttle from the airport to their hotel. Once we arrived we were greeted by their staff and the owner. They were so friendly and polite. This hotel has your necessities. If they don’t have it for you, you don’t need it. We ate at their restaurant every night. Worth it! Special shout out to Joey. She is amazing cook and does so many things! The environment is super safe and the views of the area are amazing. My group of 8 enjoyed their stay here and would definitely come back here for vacation. They have their own private cliff side / ocean view! Definitely worth the walk down.

TERRIBLE ROOMS given so had to get out after 30mins. Nothing to do in the resort too for kids/family so not recommending this for sure. The shower has no curtains and won’t provide according to staff. The Wi-Fi is slow . The lady owner seemed not well prepared at all for the group.

Rooms are not what are in the pictures! My *********** stated that the rooms can accommodated 5 adults + 1 child ! I agreed on the extra charge of Php 800 / pax, but when I asked for shower curtains to place around the rod, the staff no we do not have/we do not provide! When I asked extra pillows, the staff pointed to the pillows stocked on the corner, those pillows that you sit on/chair pillows in my opinion ! Hello!!!!. The bookings were under my name so telling me that the IDs given were not enough is IRRELEVANT! YES WE GOT OUT IN 2 MINUTES AFTER STAYING IN THE LOWER ROOM THAT IS TOO HOT AS THE AC ISN'T ABLE TO WORK PROPERLY, THE TOILET/SHOWER THAT HAS NO CURTAIN. THE UPPER APARTMENT THAT HAS EN ENGINE SOUND WALL FAN. AGAIN, ANOTHER SHOWER UP WITH NO SHOWER CURTAIN. MR. OWNER, YOUR WIFE WAS ALMOST WANTED TO KICK ME OUT BUT I HAD NO OTHER BOOKING THAT MINUTE WE ARRIVED SO I EXPLAINED IT IS OK AS LONG YOU MAKE THAT 2 MATTRESSES YOU STOCKED ON TOP OF THE BED. WHEN WE LEFT THE PROPERTY, YOU JUST WALKED BY AND SAYING "I CANNOT HELP YOU. I AM SPEECHLESS".. THERE WERE YOUR EXACT WORDS. SO I JUST REPLIED, YOU CAN HAVE MY MONEY BUT I CANNOT ROT MY FAMILY/COMPANY IN YOUR RESORT WHERE NOTHING TO DO AND THINGS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.. NO ! THE ROOMS WERE NOT PROPERLY MADE. YOUR WIFE EVEN SCOLDED THE STAFF AND THEY WERE SMIRKING AT EACH OTHER. SORRY, I KNOW HOW HOSPITALITY WORKS AS MY JOB IS DEALING WITH HOTELS AROUND THE GLOBE. THE WAY YOUR WIFE/STAFF MET US WAS EMBARRASSING FOR ME TO SAY THE LEAST AND THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS AGREE WITH THE EXTRA COST..! CHECK MY *********** HOTEL DETAILS ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY ON HOW MANY THAT "APARTMENT" CAN ACCOMMODATE. I SHOWED TO YOUR WIFE THAT WAS WHY SHE AGREED TO MAKE THE BED ! OK? AGAIN, YOUR RESORT SHOULD BE AVOIDED BY FAMILIES. YOUR RESORT IS AN OK "BACKPACKERS DEN"..

Great place to stay, throughly recommended. Made the mistake of only staying one night in Camiguin but Frank the owner took us on a tour of the island to get a flavour of what we were missing and we shall return. Staying of course at this wonderful resort.

This was by far one of the most hospitable hotels I’ve stayed out. The owner (Frank) as well as his entire staff were very generous, friendly and accommodating. They most definitely go out of there way to make the guest feel like family. And family is what staying here felt like. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a little slice of heaven. The entire property was seeded with Bermuda grass and was also very well maintained. They literally swept up the leaves, with a broom and dust pan keeping everything clean as well as very esthetically pleasing. I couldn’t help but enjoy being barefoot to really enjoy natures carpet which was carefully seeded. Taking two entire years to seed the entire property. Little details like this are delicately placed everywhere throughout this resort. There is also a private stairway leading directly to the ocean! Not to mention a restaurant on the property which offers daily breakfast. The restaurant is a full service restaurant with the perfect blend of local culture as well as comfort foods from around the world. The restaurant also has a full service bar area. Both the restaurant and bar are open till 9pm daily. Which is very accommodating considering the rest of the island shuts down around 6pm. A simply beautiful place overall! One I can’t fully describe with words alone. Will definitely be booking this place again. 5 out of 5 stars for this resort. A must for families, couples or even the solo traveler.
