If you love nature, you will enjoy Balai sa Baibai. The lawns are nice and relaxing to look at. The staff is awesome. They are friendly and can communicate well. The restaurant and bar are good but I wished they offered more fish in the menu!😉 it is unfortunate that the weather did not cooperate. It was rainy, however, we still enjoyed our stay.

Our Mother/daughter stay in Balai sa Baibai was short and sweet…the staff were very friendly, warm and accommodating. No frills and fanfare…basic accommodations, pool was clean. Place was quiet and the sound of roosters crowing in the morning was perfect! I love Filipino food…their chicken adobo was divine…banana turon and ice cream was the best! Hummus was also very delicious. Gambas was good too! Mattress could be updated, but overall…I would recommend this place to everyone

Loved the vibe. My villa was excellent. Maybe one thing they can look at going forward is to offer all-day dining options on-site? Or snacks/ bakery? If they lack the staff to do it maybe have somebody cater?

Dear Luis, thank you very much for your review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your villa and your stay with us. As most of our guests are visiting the island during the day we are not offering lunch at the moment but it is planned in the near future. It was a pleasure having you here and we wish you all the best and stay safe. Kind regards Alessandra

Look no further for peaceful, relaxing, and quiet.
There are no words to properly describe how amazing this property. The grounds are very lush with many pools and a great bar/deck area to enjoy the view of the ocean (especially during sunset). The private "room" with the high wall all the way around and the private pool created a very peaceful and relaxing environment. I can't wait to come back to Camiguin and this hotel. My biggest regret is not spending more nights here.
The guest pool buy the main building.

We are very happy you enjoyed your stay with us! we try hard to make sure our guests are happy and we can meet your needs during your stay in Camiguin, Our breakfast is all made in house, including the breads, yoghurts and fresh juice which we squeeze everyday, the eggs come from our organic farm near the hot spring as do some of our fruits and vegetables. We hope to see you again on your next Camiguin visit!

It was ok, no tv the first night, no hot water for the first night, no restaurant which really sucks, they do serve a breakfast which on western standards needs some help. Your bathroom will be outside so be prepared fo prepared that

Talented design with such a comfortable feeling.
Amazing!! This boutique resort was a labor of love and it showed. It seemed like they knew what your needs were before you did. Our trip isn't over but I can say now that It was the highlight of our stay in the Philippines. We booked 3 nights and ended up adding 2 more. We felt like we were in a friends home with wonderful staff. Look forward to returning sometime.

Amazing Balai as BaiBai.
From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were pampered from all the staff & also the owners.As we booked in we were given a welcome drink,we were taken to our vista villa & given a tour of it & shown how everything worked. Later we had afternoon tea brought to us & this was each day that we were there. In the evening a free drink at the sunset bar & a bowl of nuts etc,was a nice touch. The complimentary breakfast was amazing, fruit (plate ),large variety of mains to choose from, (Filipino & Western )fruit drink,water,cereals, tea,coffee & whatever else you asked for. The two owners are to be commended the way they run Balai sa BaiBai & my wife & I will certainly be going back there in our next visit & we have already started telling our many friends about this wonderful resort. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable of the island, places of interest,places to eat & would do everything to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. 10out 10.

Great morning breakfast, great hotel staff, great room. You can find cheaper options for touring the island vs service provided by hotel. Hotel tour service was very good, but you can find other options....

Amazing! Heaven on earth!
This place was amazing! The staff was so helpful in all my questions about the area. We did a tour with the hotel. All the details that this hotel provides were so nice and added a special touch. The view from every seat was perfect. Breakfast was the tasty and too pretty to even eat.

Luxury on Camiguin
Camiguin is in general a rustic experience. The hot/cold springs, waterfalls and hikes are beautiful but best suited for those who don't mind roughing it a bit. Balai sa BaiBai is a great place to start the morning and end the day on Camiguin. A very beautiful place, where your every need can be attended to. If all you want to do is relax and enjoy the beauty, you won't need go anywhere else on Camiguin.

Hidden Gem of Camiguin Island
So we found ourselves in Balai sa Baibai, a 5-room hotel, and it is by far the best part of our 3-day vacation in the Island of Camiguin. My husband and I have done some travelling and have been to some high-end hotels and 5 star resorts but this is place can definitely compete with the list. It has been in operation for only a year, but the owners have been in the hospitality business for years, thus pouring all their passion and experience into this very lovely hotel. The rooms are either a suit or a villa. The villas have their own pool, yes, its own pool. Suits are just as beautiful as the villas. All the frills you get with a 5 star hotel, you get there. The interiors are undoubtedly beautiful, showcasing local building materials and local arts and architecture.Service is exceptional, from front desk to basically everyone in the hotel. Because its a small operation, you always see the owner who makes sure you are comfortable and enjoying your stay. Everything can be arranged. The only real bad thing about this hotel, it is booked almost all the time so you better book it way in advance if you want to experience this little hidden gem of a resort in Camiguin Island.

Bästa hotellet på ön
Riktigt bra hotel. Det bilderna visar är också verkligheten. Det går att hitta småfel om man vill leta, men miljön och helheten för att det får full pott. Grannhotellet "SomeWhere Else Boutique Resort" har bättre byggda rum, men tappar i planering av hela anläggningen. Här finns lite lummiga områden med strandbar och mysiga poler.

less than expected
We chose this resort because the tripadvisor had good reviews but I don't know the reason well. The location is good but the room facsilities are not well maintained. The room was very small and hard to open the suitcase inside. The shower was not working well. The wifi was mostly not working during whole stay. It took more than 20 minutes to serve the breakfast after ordering. In total it's not bad but not worth for the room rate.

とても静かで、緑が多い広い素敵なガーデンのホテル。部屋からの庭、海の眺望も良く、南国ムードを満喫できる。ゆったりとした時間をのんびり過ごすには、最高のホテルです。朝食もたっぷりのフルーツも付いて美味しい。無料サービスのアフターヌーンスウィーツ、バーでのワンナイト・ワンドリンクも有り難い！近くにレストランもあるし、空港までの送迎も無料サービスで、まさに至れり尽くせりです。ホワイトビーチにもホテルのビーチから発着できて、申し分なし！！

독특한 경험을 선사해주는 리조트
전체적으로 편안하고 좋습니다. 불편한점은 온수가 잘 나오지 않고, 킹룸 퀸룸인 경우에는 방음이 거의 안됩니다. 하지만 전체적으로는 추천합니다!

Entspannung der Superlative! Einfach traumhaft
Das Balai sa Babai Resort könnte nicht besser sein und ist ein toller Ort um zu entspanne, ob mit Freunden oder mit dem Partner. Die Eigentümer sind wahnsinnig nett und hilfsbereit. Sie geben einem anhand der Karte gute Tips was man sich auf der Insel ansehen könnte. Außerdem backen sie himmlisch leckeres Brot, welche es zum Frühstück gibt, welches man mit Blick auf Meer oder im Zimmer genießen kann. Auch das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer wurden jeden Tag gereinigt und aufgeräumt und die Minibar, Wasser, Cola, Chips inklusive, wurde jeden Tag aufgefüllt. Jeder Gast bekommt außerdem pro Tag ein Getränk (Bier, Wein, Softdrink) an der Bar, mit Infinitypool und Blick aufs Meer, umsonst Das Resort, mit nur wenigen Zimmer, liegt wenige Gehminuten vom Highway entfernt, der aber nur so heißt, weil er die einzige Straße auf der Insel ist, und nicht weil er groß und befahren ist. Man hat viel Platz und direkten Zugang zum Meer. Das Resort ist schön bepflanzt und man merkt die Liebe zum Detail. Die beiden Eigentümer haben hier ihr eigenes kleines Paradies geschaffen und teilen es gerne mit anderen! Theoretisch muss man das Balai sa Baby gar nicht verlassen, auch wenn es kein eigenes Restaurant hat. Es gibt die Möglichkeit von umliegenden Restaurants etwas zu bestellen.
