Nadhibar Resort: Your Camiguin Paradise Awaits (Unbelievable Photos!)
Nadhibar Resort: My Camiguin Paradise… With a Few Hiccups (But Still Worth It!)
Okay, so I just got back from Nadhibar Resort, and let me tell you, Camiguin? Absolutely breathtaking. Seriously, the photos? They don't even begin to capture the real deal. But let's be real, no review is complete without the real story, the messy bits, the things the glossy brochures conveniently leave out. Buckle up, buttercups, because this is my honest-to-goodness Nadhibar experience.
Accessibility: Navigating Paradise… with a Stroller (and a Prayer)
First off, the accessibility. This is super important, right? Especially if you're traveling with kids, or, you know, any kind of mobility limitation. Now, the resort does boast "Facilities for disabled guests," which is a good start. The elevator was a lifesaver for hauling luggage (and the occasional exhausted toddler). But I wouldn't exactly call it fully wheelchair-friendly. Some areas, like the path to the swimming pool [outdoor], had a bit of a slope, and navigating the grounds with a stroller was… an adventure. Let's just say my biceps got a workout.
On-site Restaurants & Lounges: Fueling Up for Island Adventures (and the Occasional Hangover)
Alright, food! Because let's face it, vacation is basically an excuse to eat everything. Nadhibar has a decent spread. There are restaurants, a poolside bar (essential!), and even a coffee shop.
- The Good: The Asian breakfast was a highlight. Seriously, the congee? Chef's kiss. They also offered Western breakfast options for the less adventurous (read: my husband). They had A la carte in restaurant and Buffet in restaurant options. I loved the Poolside bar.
- The Okay: The Happy hour was… well, it was happy hour. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely appreciated after a day of exploring. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was okay.
- The Not-So-Good: Okay, I'm being honest here. The service at times could be a little… island time. You might have to flag someone down for a refill. And the bottle of water situation? I felt like I was constantly asking for more. Small thing, but it adds up, you know?
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe (Mostly)
This is where Nadhibar really shines. They're clearly taking COVID seriously. The Anti-viral cleaning products were evident, and I saw the staff doing Daily disinfection in common areas. They had Hand sanitizer stations everywhere. The Staff trained in safety protocol were friendly and took their job seriously. The Room sanitization opt-out available made me feel more comfortable. Rooms: My Cozy Little Island Nest
The rooms themselves are lovely. I had a non-smoking room (thank goodness!) with Air conditioning (again, essential!). The Free Wi-Fi worked like a charm (except for one brief, panic-inducing outage, but hey, island life!). The Internet access – wireless was great. I loved the Blackout curtains – perfect for those afternoon naps. They had a mirror, a desk, a refrigerator, and a coffee/tea maker to fulfill my needs.
Here's the thing: It wasn’t perfect. The bathtub was a little small for a proper soak, and the slippers were… well, let's just say they weren't the most luxurious. But the Free bottled water and the bathrobes made up for it. And the view from my high floor room? Unbeatable.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Paradise Found!
This is where Nadhibar really delivers. The swimming pool is gorgeous, especially the Pool with view. They have a Fitness center (I didn't use it, but hey, it's there!), a Spa and a Spa/sauna!
- Must-Do: The Massage. Oh. My. Goodness. I opted for the full body massage and it was DIVINE. Seriously, it melted away all my stress. I was considering a second one, but I was a little too busy enjoying the island.
- Things I Didn't Get To: I didn't get a chance to try the Body scrub or Body wrap, but they sounded amazing.
- The Sauna: I did pop my head in the Sauna.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Filling Your Belly
The Restaurants were the main place to eat. They had Asian cuisine in restaurant and International cuisine in restaurant. The Desserts in restaurant were great.
Services & Conveniences: Making Life Easier (and Sometimes More Confusing)
Nadhibar offers a ton of services. They have Air conditioning in public area, which is great. The Concierge was helpful. They have Cash withdrawal, which came in handy. They have Daily housekeeping, which kept the room spick and span. They also have Dry cleaning and Laundry service.
For the Kids: Keeping the Little Ones Happy (and the Parents Sane)
I didn't use them, but Nadhibar has Babysitting service and Kids meal.
Getting Around: Island Hopping Made Easy
They offer Airport transfer. They have Car park [free of charge].
The Verdict:
Nadhibar is a fantastic choice for a Camiguin getaway. It's beautiful, relaxing, and the staff genuinely want you to have a good time. Yes, there are a few quirks, and the service isn't always lightning-fast, but that's part of the charm, isn't it? The location is amazing, the rooms are comfortable, and the spa? Pure bliss. Overall, it's a solid choice for a truly unforgettable vacation.

Okay, buckle up buttercups! This isn't your polished, Instagram-filtered travel guide. This is the raw, unfiltered, slightly-sunburnt truth of my Camiguin adventure at Nadhibar Resort. And trust me, it's a rollercoaster.
Nadhibar Resort: Camiguin - The Almost Perfect Chaos
(A seven-day, soul-searching, and mosquito-biting itinerary)
Day 1: Arrival & "Island Time" - AKA, Where's the WiFi?
- Morning (or, well, whenever I finally woke up after that red-eye): Landed in Camiguin. The airport? Charming. Tiny. Basically, a glorified shed. But hey, that's part of the charm, right? The air smells of… well, fresh air! And the promise of adventure (and hopefully, strong coffee).
- Afternoon: Taxi ride to Nadhibar. The driver, bless his heart, took the scenic route. Which involved a LOT of winding roads and me clutching my stomach. The resort itself? Picturesque. Seriously, the view from the infinity pool is chef's kiss. Except… the WiFi is patchy. Like, "ghost of the internet" patchy. Cue internal panic. How am I supposed to update my Insta with these views?! (Priorities, people.)
- Evening: Dinner at the resort restaurant. Ordered a grilled fish that was… okay. My stomach grumbled for more. Maybe I'm just hungry, or maybe my expectations are too high. The sunset, however, was a masterpiece. Orange, pink, purple – the whole shebang. Felt a little emotional, which is weird, but hey, island life, right?
Day 2: Sunken Cemetery & My Existential Crisis
- Morning: Visited the Sunken Cemetery. It's a floating cross, a memorial to a cemetery that was… well, sunken by a volcanic eruption. It's eerie and beautiful. I’m suddenly questioning my life choices. Am I living authentically? Am I chasing the wrong dreams? Am I… a tourist cliché taking a selfie with a giant cross?
- Afternoon: Snorkeled around the cemetery. The water is crystal clear, but the coral is… not. A bit drab. The fish are pretty though. The whole experience is strangely meditative. I’m starting to understand the appeal of “island time.” Maybe I'll stay here forever. I mean, except for the lack of a decent coffee shop.
- Evening: Dinner at a local carinderia (small eatery). Ordered adobo. It was amazing. The best I’ve had in ages. The owner, a sweet old lady, kept calling me "honey." I felt like I'd found a new grandma.
Day 3: Tuasan Falls & A Near-Death Experience (Exaggeration, Maybe)
- Morning: Hired a habal-habal (motorbike taxi) to Tuasan Falls. The ride? Terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure. The driver weaved through traffic like a caffeinated ninja. The falls themselves? Gorgeous. The water is icy cold, but the power of the water is captivating. I slipped on a rock and nearly ate dirt. My pride took a bigger hit than my body.
- Afternoon: Explored the falls. Took a dip. Tried to look cool. Failed miserably. Got a mosquito bite on my… well, let’s just say it was a strategic location. Started wondering if I'd brought enough bug spray.
- Evening: More adobo. Seriously, I could eat it every day. Stared at the stars. Camiguin has the most amazing night sky. The Milky Way is visible. I felt small, insignificant, and utterly content.
Day 4: White Island & A Love/Hate Relationship with Sand
- Morning: Boat trip to White Island. This is the Instagram darling of Camiguin. A sandbar in the middle of the sea. It’s pure, unadulterated beauty. The sand is blindingly white. The water is turquoise. The sun is… brutal. I forgot sunscreen. Rookie mistake.
- Afternoon: Burnt. The sand is even hotter now. I’m starting to develop a love/hate relationship with sand. It's beautiful, but it gets everywhere. Found a tiny, shady spot under a flimsy umbrella. Attempted to read my book. Kept getting distracted by the view. Seriously, it's stunning.
- Evening: Back at the resort. Slathered myself in aloe vera. Looked like a ghost. Vowed to never forget sunscreen again. Ordered a pizza that was surprisingly good.
Day 5: Katibawasan Falls & The Mosquito Massacre
- Morning: Katibawasan Falls. A different falls, also lovely. The water is cool, but less icy than Tuasan. The surrounding area is lush and green. Perfect for a walk. Did a slightly more graceful attempt to climb up the rocks than the previous falls.
- Afternoon: The Mosquito Massacre. The mosquitoes found me. They feasted on me. My legs are a patchwork of itchy welts. I am officially declaring war on mosquitoes.
- Evening: Tried to find a decent pharmacy. The resort is a little out of the way. Found a tiny store that had the strongest, most mentholated bug spray I've ever encountered. Applied liberally. Felt like I was being embalmed. But hey, at least the itching is slightly better.
Day 6: Ardent Hot Springs & Letting Go
- Morning: Ardent Hot Springs. A series of hot springs cascading down a hillside. The water is warm and relaxing. I soaked and let go. Let go of my worries, my stress, my… everything. It was pure bliss.
- Afternoon: Wandered around the resort. Found a quiet corner. Finally finished my book. Felt a sense of peace I haven't felt in ages.
- Evening: Final dinner at the resort. Ordered the grilled fish again. Still okay. The sunset was even more spectacular than the first night. Feeling a little sad that my trip is coming to an end. But also, ready to go home and shower (and maybe see a dermatologist about these mosquito bites).
Day 7: Departure & The Lingering Island Vibe
- Morning: Breakfast at the resort. One last look at the view. Said goodbye to the staff. They were all so lovely.
- Afternoon: Flight home. The airport felt even smaller this time. The red-eye flight was a blur.
- Evening: Back in reality. The WiFi is strong. The coffee is excellent. But something is missing. That island vibe. That feeling of being utterly present. That feeling of… well, I don't know. But I'll be back. Even with the mosquitoes. And the patchy WiFi. Camiguin, you beautiful, messy, imperfect island, you got me.
Final Thoughts:
Nadhibar Resort? A solid choice. The view is unreal. The staff is wonderful. The food is… hit or miss. But the imperfections are part of the charm. Just bring a LOT of bug spray. And maybe invest in a good book. And prepare to fall in love with an island that's a little bit rough around the edges, but absolutely, undeniably, breathtakingly beautiful. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find some more aloe vera. And maybe a therapist. (Just kidding… mostly.)
