Roof Top Hotel and Bar
Camiguin Island - Mambajao
This neon lit restaurant and bar in Mambajoa drew me in like a firefly. The owner is a guy from Las Vegas with a lot of energy and a knack for getting things done. He likes to feel at home. Everything about the Roof Top is first rate.
The beer even comes in frosted mugs!
The Roof Top really has a nice atmosphere and a first rate staff.
The on site bakery whips up a huge pile of pastries every. Two huge walk in freezers store the ice cream and meats.
It’s almost bizarre, because inefficiency is the standard here in the Philippines, but this place ticks along like a Swiss watch.
This is the ground floor where a fast food restaurant, deli shop, and ice cream shop get a big local crowd.
This is the set up on the second floor. The balcony has 4 tables that are always full at night. It has become a gathering place for expats living in the area.
The Hotel was not yet open when I was there in Dec 2008 but it looks like it is going to be first rate when it does open. It is not geared to budget travelers but looks like it’s going to be a solid value.

Hello,
I am looking for a room for a stay at the island Camiguin during that time of about 8. march until 15. march or longer - depends on location and price. Unfortunately my budget is limited but I would like to know your prizes. I would be happy to get your offers!
I only need fan and bathroom (shower) inside: No TV and radio is necessary!
Can you send me some pictures maybe and your prize offer?
I am looking forward to get your answer soon!
Best regards
Bernd
Hi breime
dutchpickle is just a travelers information site that does not make reservations
When I visited the “Roof Top”, the rooms were still being completed. The place is plush and appeals more towards the higher end traveler, I don’t think that there are any fan rooms.
I did get a chance to eat at the restaurant a few times and can say that the food is great! The owner is a player from Las Vegas and everything was done first class in this place.
He confided to me that there is no way that he will be able to recoup his investment from this place in his lifetime.
Everything about this place has class.
Sorry - I do not even have contact information on line yet but it will be the only hotel in town with neon lights, you can’t miss it!
cheers

Looks a great place. plan on going down there perhaps next month to climb Hibok-Hibok looks just the place for me to stay in.
Perhaps DP you or one of your many readers out there know the current room rates. I had a quick check of their site but no rates on it,
Could e mail them how ever would be interesting for readers to have it posted here.
Loved the hot springs last time I was there but spoilt a bit (for me anyway) by the big speakers at the pool side thumping out heavy metal, just not able to get used to this in such a beautiful natural setting, still thats Filipino style…
The hotel looks really better paced to be in Mactan rather than Camiguin how ever will be a great addition to the Island. Just carn’t wait to get there.
Hi Bruce,
The Roof Top Hotel is first class. I have eaten there several times and have no complaints.
Lindsay would enjoy the fact that the waitress brings a fresh frosted mug with each new beer!
The accommodation is first rate, but out of my price range - I just stayed at the GV.
They were not yet open when I visited so I did not get the rates. Hopefully a reader will comment on that sooner or later.

DP and readers, finally received a reply from the roof top…..Yes its a bit pricy how ever considering what they offer guess its reasonable.
I will enclose the mail for reader reference.

just a tip or 2….try tias cottages…it will suit your criteria. you can walk to mambajao.
also very cheap…rest facilities etc…you wont be disappointed.
another snappy tip…tias is very quiet…you will go mad at rooftop because noise is endless…sit out the front for 2 minutes and you cop it day and night.
tias is around pesos-300….swimming at your door…anyway, just ask someone to show you tias cottages..
personally, i know camiguin very well…..our visitors go straight to tias cottages…happy days….
