Secret Cove Beach Resort - Mambajao

Their food was okay, meals are generous, though not as tasty as one might find in restos around the neighborhood

Decent food and nice view. To Be fair Secret cove is one of the only places in Camiguin where you can eat with a nice sea view. When we sat there it felt nice and the food was decent. Pork was a good choice (we explored the whole menu . All in all a good value for money. I guess I am a tougher reviewer than others hence only a three stars for me though I have nothing wrong to say about the place. I just feel that on the island it's inferior to places like Luna and Casa Roca but superior to almost everything else (northern lights... . Enjoy your time there!!!

Its not on the menue, but Bida the owners wife prepared some mouthwatering japanes food for us. Its on request and depends what the market gives. Lucky to have that on the Island. One more reason to move back to Camiguin. Thanks guys

We ate here after reading the mostly excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Where to start? The path leading to the restaurant was pitch black, and quite hazardous in parts. The menu is old and tatty and needs a revamp as this does not create a favourable impression to the visitor. Items that had been removed from the menu had been crossed out by hand and it looked very amateurish. To be fair, the food was of good quality when it arrived, but unfortunately the service was so truly dire that it completely ruined our experience. We were the only party eating at the restaurant on this particular night so you might expect the service to be above average at the very least; but no the staff spent most of their time on Facebook and on their mobile phones and completely ignored us. We sat with our empty plates for around 20 minutes and ended up with our daughter clearing the table herself by pointedly placing the dirty dishes on the bar. Even then the staff did not take the hint. The dessert (mango cheesecake) was delicious, but again we sat with uncleared dishes whilst the staff did their own thing. There were four staff in the restaurant that evening, but none of them appeared to be remotely interested. At one point, two of them sat eating at another table, whilst we waited for our bill.... and waited, and waited. It really was beyond a joke. This was the only restaurant on our island hopping trip to the Philippines where were were forced to pay a 10% gratuity oh the irony! The worst service we 've had, and the staff get an inclusive tip!!! When we finally managed to get our bill and pay it (with the inclusive service charge), we politely asked if they would be kind enough to phone us a tricycle to enable us to return to our accommodation some distance away. Initially this was met with hostile stares, and a completely unhelpful and disinterested attitude. It was only when my husband asked whether the boss was available (and was told he was not on site) that their attitude improved (slightly). At this point, they conveniently remembered the number of a local driver that could assist us. I really believe that the owner of this restaurant cares about the service his customers receive. The food is very, very good. But the service is appalling and the staff need to be spoken to and service improved upon. We left with a bad taste in our mouths and a tainted view of this place. What a shame. Tom, you need to take things in hand or your reputation will suffer and it 's such a pity. Please take this review in the manner in which it is intended for improvements to be made so that when you are absent from site, your staff do not take advantage by ignoring customers and offering a service that you yourself would not find acceptable.

After two months of mystery food traveling all of Phillipines, what a joy to dine at secret cove. It was all great, breakfast was awesome, home made bread, great sausage, bacon, real pan fried potatoes, fresh brewed coffee, all served hot. We stayed ten days, tried every thing on the menu and loved all. Thank you and your staff for the great service and wonderfully food.
