Bohol's BEST Kept Secret: MJS Camp Site & Mountain Resort!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the heart of Bohol's BEST Kept Secret: MJS Camp Site & Mountain Resort! Forget the perfectly posed Instagram shots; I'm here to tell you what it REALLY feels like to stay there, warts and all. And trust me, after a week of jungle fever and some serious poolside contemplation, I got the lowdown.

First Impressions: Getting There & the Initial "Woah" Factor
Accessibility? Hmm. It's not a stroll in the park for those with mobility issues, I'm just being real here. While they claim "Facilities for disabled guests," it's more of a "let's try our best" situation. The main areas (restaurants, pool) are generally manageable, but navigating the grounds could be a bit dicey. So, weigh that up. Airport transfer is available, which is a HUGE plus after those long flights, and they've got on-site parking, which is always appreciated.
Now, the "Woah" moment? Hit me like a ton of coconuts! The views are…stupendous. Really. I mean, the pictures don’t even begin to capture the lush, green expanse that rolls out before you. It's a proper "breath in, sigh out" kind of view. They've got a Pool with a View, and trust me, you’ll be parked there.
The Rooms: My Sanctuary (and occasional chaos)
I stayed in a room with "Available in all rooms" - YES! Air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes (fancy!), and the holy grail: Free Wi-Fi! Yes, it's really free in all rooms! The bed was comfy, but my one gripe, a REAL ONE - the lighting was a little…dim. I like my spaces cheerful, maybe a bit more sunshine for this girl? But mostly, the room was functional and clean. They have Daily housekeeping, which is appreciated. I didn't use the bathtub much, but it's in the room.
Cleanliness & Safety: Peace of Mind (with a sprinkle of reality)
They’re trying. Really trying. They’ve got Hand sanitizer. They've trained Staff…in safety protocols. They offer the option to opt-out of room sanitization (which I like, a bit tired of all the chemicals…). First aid kit is there too. They use Anti-viral cleaning products, and rooms are sanitized between stays. Dining is set up safely. All the boxes checked, yes?
Now, the reality check: you're in the Philippines. Things are rarely, ever, perfectly sterile. It’s more about the vibe. You can tell they’re doing their best, and I felt safe. They have Hotel chain safety features and CCTV in common areas and outside the property. Peace of mind is good.
Food, Glorious Food: My Personal Food Coma Quest
Okay, let's talk food. This is where MJS shines, but in a slightly erratic, loveable way.
- Restaurants: They have Restaurants, yes! In the main restaurant is a buffet (sometimes), and a la carte is the star. I went hungry once while exploring, I didn't feel like waiting for the staff, so I could try the snacks.
- My Breakfast Revelation: Oh, the Breakfast [buffet]! Honestly, it could use a little pep. A little extra zing. But the Asian breakfast was okay, and the coffee was decent.
- Other Options: They had a Poolside bar, which was a must. I was obsessed with their coffee shop, desserts, and snacks. And I have it on good recommendation that their salad is outstanding!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: My Personal Chill Zone
This is where MJS really gets its mojo going.
- The Pool of Dreams: The outdoor Swimming pool is a winner. It's HUGE, and that view… I could have spent days there. It’s a Pool with a View, as they advertise.
- Spa Day (and my inner zen): They have Massage, which is a must-do. I indulged myself with a Body scrub, and Body wrap. A bit of a Sauna, and a Steamroom (heavenly!). I like the Spa/sauna options and the spa too!
- For the Fitness Fanatics (not me): They have a Fitness center, which is fine, but I'd rather be by the pool!
- Other Activities: They have a range of activities.
Internet & Tech - The Lifeblood of the Modern Traveler
You're covered. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!? Yes! And the signal was pretty strong. Internet, Internet access – wireless access? You got it. They also have Internet [LAN] if you need it and Internet services. This is a huge win, especially if you plan on doing some work (or, you know, just sharing your vacation photos).
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Concierge: Super helpful! Doorman and 24-hour Front desk.
- Laundry: Laundry service, check. Ironing Service? Yes! Because nobody wants to look like a crumpled mess on vacation.
- Gift Shop: Souvenirs galore. I spent way too much, no regrets!
- Meetings & Events: Facilities for disabled guests, Meeting/banquet facilities, and they can host events.
For the Kids (and the Kid in You)
- Family-Friendly: They've got the family covered too! They have Family/child friendly facilities.
- Babysitting: If you need it, they have it, plus the ever-popular Kids meal.
Dining, drinking, and snacking: My personal food coma quest
Oh, the food! It was my personal quest to sample everything.
- Restaurants: Restaurants, yes! Everything is prepared with love.
- Breakfast Buffet: The breakfast buffet was good overall, but it needed a bit more punch! I got my coffee and started my day.
Overall Vibe: The Verdict
MJS Camp Site & Mountain Resort! is not perfect. It's not the slickest, most polished resort. But it's got something genuine and unique. It's a place where you can truly unwind, surrounded by breathtaking beauty, and with staff who genuinely want you to have a good time. It’s a place to be yourself.
My Quirky Rating: 4 out of 5 coconuts! (Minus one for the slightly dim lighting and the potential accessibility challenges.)

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because we're not just planning a trip to MJS Camp Site and Mountain Resort in Bohol, Philippines. We're living it. Or, well, pretending to live it, because let's get real, the planning is almost as fun as the trip itself (mostly because it involves zero packing and the horrifying realization of how much you actually own).
MJS Camp Site & Mountain Resort: Operation Escape Boredom (and Maybe Find Some Self-Respect)
Day 1: The Arrival (or, How I Almost Tripped Over a Carabao)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Okay, so, the flight. Let's just say budget airlines and my bladder are not best friends. Landed in Tagbilaran airport, which is charming in a "tiny airport that feels like you've stepped into a postcard" kind of way. The air? Humid. The heat? Intense. My hair immediately went full-on poodle.
- Transportation (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Pre-booked a van transfer (smart move, future me!). The driver, bless his heart, was a lovely man who, upon learning it was my first time in Bohol, immediately started telling me stories about the Chocolate Hills. (Spoiler alert: they're chocolatey, duh). The drive? Beautiful. Lush green everywhere. We passed a carabao. I ALMOST tripped over it while trying to take a picture. My dignity took a small hit.
- Check-in Chaos (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): MJS! Finally. The entrance gate wasn't exactly "grand," more like "rustic charm." Check-in was…an experience. Let's just say the staff were friendly, but "efficient" isn't a descriptor that comes to mind. Eventually, I got my bungalow, which, to my surprise, wasn't infested with giant spiders (small victory!). The view was…well, it was there. Trees. Lots of trees.
- Lunch (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM): The resort restaurant. Ordered the "local specialty"(I'm a foodie, I had to!) Turns out, it's a lot of rice and…I can't remember what else, really. The point is, the food was… edible. Think "comfort food for the slightly lost."
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 7:00 PM):
- The Pool Debacle: The pool! Looked inviting. Went to jump in, but then… oh no, the water was freezing. So I just looked at the poor little thing. The disappointment was palpable.
- Evening (7:00 PM onwards):
- Dinner & Stargazing: Basic, but satisfying. Then, I went stargazing. Holy crap, the sky. It was like a giant, twinkling disco ball. For a solid ten minutes, I just stood there, mouth agape, feeling incredibly small and profoundly insignificant, and suddenly, I felt like I had to cry of happiness.
- The Mosquito Apocalypse: Turns out, being surrounded by nature means one thing: mosquitoes. I am now officially part of their food chain. Regret not bringing strong insect repellent.
Day 2: Chocolate Hills and the Unlikely Romance of a Hammock (maybe)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Coffee on the patio. Finally felt like I was living. Well, until I noticed a giant spider weaving a web right by my head. Quick retreat inside.
- Chocolate Hills (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The highlight. (Okay, maybe the only highlight judging by Day 1's performance in the fun department.) Rented a scooter (terrifying experience, by the way - almost flattened a chicken) and zipped to the Chocolate Hills. The view… breathtaking. Instagram worthy. Felt overwhelmingly, stupidly, happy. I was there! In Bohol! Seeing the damn Chocolate Hills! Worth the near-death experience on the scooter.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Found a small place near the Chocolate Hills for lunch. Super cheap and delicious, plus, the family that ran it was absolutely lovely. Reminded me that I really need to be nicer to people. I might buy a chocolate hill-themed t-shirt.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 6:00 PM):
- Hammock Time (The Quest for Ultimate Relaxation): Back at the resort. Found the hammock. Conquered the hammock. Successfully spent an hour doing absolutely nothing but swaying slightly and contemplating the mysteries of the universe (mainly, why I can't seem to find a comfortable position where I won't be eaten alive by mosquitos). This was my best moment. I dozed. I smiled. I felt… at peace.
- Evening (6:00 PM onwards):
- Dinner & Bonfire (Maybe?): Dinner. Delicious and local. Then, the resort had a bonfire. Cozy, yes. Romantic, maybe. Until the mosquitoes showed up. I retreated inside my bungalow, now my mosquito-proof fortress.
Day 3: Farewell, Bohol (and My Sanity)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Woke up. Sun was shining. Actually felt… good.
- Breakfast (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM): More rice. More coffee. Less impending doom.
- Check-out (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Check-out was surprisingly smooth. Maybe they were just glad to see the back of me.
- Departure (11:00 AM onwards):
- The Airport Debrief: Airport chaos. Last glimpse of Bohol. The plane took off. And I slept the entire four hour of the plane ride.
- Final Thoughts: MJS Camp Site and Mountain Resort? Not perfect. But it was an adventure. I saw the Chocolate Hills (and lived to tell the tale!). I learned that I am moderately skilled at hammocking and incredibly unskilled at avoiding mosquito bites. Would I go back? Maybe. But next time, I'm investing in a hazmat suit and industrial-strength bug spray. And possibly a scooter license. And probably a therapy session for the near-death experience on the scooter. Bohol, you magnificent, chaotic, mosquito-infested paradise, I will always remember you. And so will the mosquitoes, I suspect.
MJS Camp Site & Mountain Resort: Your Questions Answered (and My Ramblings!)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! You're thinking about MJS, Bohol's so-called "best-kept secret"? Well, let's spill the tea, shall we? I've braved the bumpy roads (literally!), wrestled with mosquito swarms, and devoured enough kinilaw (the local ceviche) to build a bridge. So, consider me your semi-expert... with a healthy dose of opinion.
Wait, where *is* this "secret" spot anyway? And can a GPS even find it?
MJS is nestled in Garcia Hernandez, Bohol. Now, finding it? That's part of the adventure! My GPS, bless its digital heart, took me on a scenic tour of cow pastures and rice paddies... twice. Learn from my mistakes: download an offline map (trust me, signal is patchy), and embrace the inevitable inquiries to locals. "MJS?" they'll say, squinting in the sun, then point you down a road that looks suspiciously like a goat trail. But hey, the anticipation is half the fun, right? Or at least, that's what I tell myself when I'm bouncing along in a tricycle. The payoff is SO worth it!
What's the vibe like at MJS? Is it all Instagram-perfect or actually enjoyable? AND, is there Wi-Fi? (Asking for a friend... and me!)
Okay, let's get real. MJS isn't about perfectly curated feeds. It's about letting go. Imagine: crisp mountain air, the scent of pine needles, the sound of cicadas serenading you to sleep (or possibly driving you slightly mad depending on your tolerance). Less influencer, more chill. Think rustic cabins (some a little... well, *rustic*, but charming!), communal campfires, and a general sense of camaraderie. The staff are super friendly! There *might* be some Wi-Fi in the main areas, emphasis on *might*. My advice? Unplug. Embrace the digital detox. Read a book. Stare at the stars. Actually, the stars at night... I mean, breathtaking. I had a moment there one night, just completely overwhelmed by it all. Seriously, it's a memory that's etched in my brain. So. Good.
Let's talk accommodations: Are the cabins cozy, or should I bring Hazmat suit?
The cabins range from "delightfully basic" to "slightly... basic." Expect sturdy structures, simple furnishings, and perhaps the occasional gecko roommate. Don't expect luxury, and you won't be disappointed. I stayed in the "Family Cabin" once. It was... well, it *housed* a family. It was clean enough though. Just be prepared for the occasional creak and the sounds of nature (and the occasional passing scooter!). Pack your own towels and maybe a flashlight. But honestly, the simplicity is part of the charm. It forces you to slow down, to appreciate the little things, like a hot shower (if they have hot water the day you're there – it's a gamble!).
The Food Situation: Do I need to pack my own rations? Is it worth the trek?
The food is delicious. Seriously. They serve up solid Filipino fare, with fresh, local ingredients. Think grilled fish, chicken adobo, and mountains of rice. Their kinilaw? Divine (I mentioned it, right?). The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Now, don't expect Michelin-star presentation, but the flavors are authentic, and the portions are hearty. I had the most amazing breakfast there once; eggs, longganisa (Filipino sausage), garlic rice, and coffee. It was so good I practically licked my plate clean. Okay, maybe I didn't *actually* lick it, but I wanted to! Consider it a pilgrimage worth making just for the food.
What's there to *do* at MJS? Besides, you know, breathing.
Ah, the million-dollar question! Hiking is big. They have trails of varying difficulty. There are waterfalls to explore (bring water shoes!). You can swim in the river, though it can be chilly (embrace the cold!). They have a bonfire area for night-time gatherings! They have a view! My favorite thing was just sitting, drinking coffee, and watching the sunrise. Maybe read a book. Do nothing. It's that feeling of being away from it all, right? Just take your time! I spend an entire afternoon doing nothing. It was the best thing. The view is incredible! The air is clean; you just feel good. It's restorative. A definite win in my book!
Is it kid-friendly? Can I bring my pet unicorn (just kidding... mostly)?
MJS is generally kid-friendly, but it's important to note the terrain can be rough in some areas. Keep an eye on those little munchkins near the river and in the hiking trails. I haven't seen any unicorns there yet, but I feel like this is Bohol – don't rule anything out! Contact the resort directly about pets. They are usually accommodating, but it’s always best to check ahead of time! Plus, there are several local dogs that are very friendly. My experience? The kids will love the freedom to roam. They will love the outdoors! You might have to drag them out of the river. That's a win!
Tips for Surviving and Thriving at MJS? Gimme the insider secrets!
Alright, here's the lowdown, my friends:
- Pack appropriately: Lightweight clothes, hiking shoes, insect repellent, sunscreen, a flashlight (seriously), and a sense of adventure.
- Bring cash: Credit card machines might be a distant memory.
- Embrace the simplicity: Let go of your need for constant connection. Breathe. Observe. Enjoy.
- Chat with the locals: They are incredibly friendly and helpful.
- Be prepared for anything: Power outages, unexpected rain, friendly geckos. Roll with it!
- Most Important Tip: Go in with an open mind and a willingness to unplug. MJS isn’t about luxury; it’s about an experience. It’s about getting away. And it’s about enjoying the magic of Bohol!
