I’d like to preface this by saying how much I miss Camiguin and my time at Bintana sa Paraiso! While searching for accommodations, Bintana sa Paraiso in Binunsaran truly stood out to me. Although I explored other options, I was certain that this was where I wanted to stay. Upon my arrival at Camiguin airport, Kuya Chito, their friendly driver, was already there waiting for me. The ride to the property was a quick 10–15 minutes, and from the moment I arrived, I immediately fell in love! (as someone who lives in a building-dominated city, it just always hits different when you’re by nature—mountains, trees, the sea, etc.) The entire place is just as beautiful in person as it looks in the pictures. The views are absolutely stunning and relaxing! (yes, I requested an upper unit for better views 😊, and when I asked if I could be moved to the next unit to the left for even better views, they happily made it happen) Both units I stayed in were nice, comfortable, and had spacious bathrooms! While some amenities differed between the units—for example, one had a TV and a sofa bed while the other included a hairdryer, a full-length mirror, and a ceiling fan—it wasn’t an issue at all for me. Just something to keep in mind if you have specific preferences. There’s Wi-Fi everywhere, though some areas can be spotty. If you’re a remote worker, I’d suggest staying outdoors (on the porch/balcony or in the restaurant) where the connection is more stable. You won’t have to worry about the occasional power outages as they have a generator. You also won’t have to worry about safety, as they have a private guard on duty every night. I enjoyed spending my nights on the balconies, working and then waiting for sunrises. It can get quite chilly up there, though, especially when it’s raining, so I suggest packing some warm layers. Although I didn’t order a drink from their bar, I did enjoy the food selection in their restaurant. Everything was great and portioned for two people. Their Surol? Oh, I'm obsessed! Kuya Dodong, the chef, you're the best. Thank you for setting up the Kawa bath as well :) Now, let me talk about the other staff, who were all wonderful! First, the guys: Jay, the gentle one. He arranged my transfer from one unit to another, which I truly appreciated. When I almost forgot to request a beach towel, Jay was more than prepared and proactively handed it over to me along with bottles of water before I headed out for a tour. Then there’s Arvie, the nice (and good-looking haha) one, who is always ready to assist. He arranged a ride for me one night to Utopia Café. JL, well, he’s the one I had the most conversations with. He not only assisted with my luggage and drove me to Utopia but also took some of my pictures. He even shared some rambutan from their yard—definitely went above and beyond! I didn’t see Drex much during my stay, likely due to his shift schedule, but he was always polite and friendly! Onto the ladies: Kristin, Gretchen, Chelo, and Ma
Excellent
