👍 What stands out

• Good value for food in a hostel/resort environment — you’re not just getting lodging, but decent meals included.
• Staff are accommodating (e.g., extra garlic rice requested and fulfilled).
• The mix of international + BBQ/grill means it can cater to guests who may want something besides strictly Filipino cuisine.
• Breakfast being vegetarian-friendly is a plus for dietary preferences.

⚠️ Things to keep in mind

• While the restaurant offers “international” cuisine, the food likely remains fairly simple and casual, not high-end gourmet dining.
• If you’re looking for very specific or sophisticated dishes, you might need to go off-site to local eateries.
• The hostel/resort is budget friendly; hence some trade-offs (e.g., menu may be limited, higher end dishes may be slower or less frequent).
• Always check what’s included (which meals, room rate) and what might cost extra (drinks, special dishes).

🎯 My recommendations & tips for your stay

• Since you’re staying on Camotes Island, try to mix the resort dining with local island cuisine. Outside the resort you’ll find fresh seafood, grilled dishes, local flavour. (See: general Camotes food guide) lakbaypinas.com+1
• At the resort: ask about their BBQ/grill nights or special dishes of the day — being beachfront/island they may have fresh catches or specials.
• If vegetarian or with dietary needs: the resort breakfast explicitly states vegetarian options, so you’re likely covered. But for lunch/dinner check in advance.
• Bring some cash for extra dishes or drinks; depending on payment set-up, sometimes extra items cost more or only cash is accepted.
• Try to eat during the “golden hour” (sunset) if the restaurant has beach view — makes the dining experience more memorable.
• If you want more local flavour, ask staff for recommendations to nearby non-resort restaurants for a change of menu and ambiance.
