We stayed in the beachside cottage. The bed was relatively comfortable, the shower had hot water, and the aircon worked very well. The room itself is small but cozy. We had a slight issue with ants coming in the room and finding old food wrappers (common issue on the island), but the staff gave us bug spray and that solved the problem. Onsite staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful staff who you quickly become friends with, and they are very accommodating. Had a great time at this beach front property. Plenty of beach chairs, tables, and the bar was a wonderful gathering place for the guests. Location is very convenient to the local town and various beach areas. Would stay there again.

This property is nothing fancy if you want to have it all stay somewhere else. This is my perfect place with comfortable accommodation right of the beach . Staff i cant say enough about them they treat you like family. Best dining in town the team of wonderful ladies created some perfect meals breakfast lunch and dinner. If you want to have a vacation here be prepared to have a little fun. I stayed 8 nights here and is now my go too place when back. If you want a in room massage done. Just ask no need to go out

Summer Kick Off
The resort is beach front to the pristine Bantayan blue sea and whitesand. I stayed in the beach front cottage with seaview. The cottage is charming and comfortable. The bathroom needs a little renovation. The staff were friendly and warm.

Varasin majoituksen FC Cantinasta, mutta huone olikin Sunday Flowerista. Meidät oli meiltä kysymättä siirretty sinne. Tullessamme rouva vastaanotossa sanoi, "Ai, tulitte jo nyt, odotin 11.3.".Näytin varaukseni ja hän tarkisti omansa. Molemmissa oli 9.3.. Epäammattimaista toimintaa muutenkin.
Kysyin FC Cantinan omistajalta, miksi meidät on siirretty? " No, olemme siirtäneet osan, mutta tulkaa meille bilettään, täällä on hyvä meininki".
Siivouksen sain pyydettyäni kolmen yön jälkeen.

Ud til fantastisk sandstrand med lokale fiskerbåde
Hytterne ned til stranden (3 stk) er for små til 3 voksne, så vi tog et værelse i Sunshine også. Strandbaren har lidt problemer med fordelingen af kunder med naboen, som kan give noget irritation og det er svært at vide hvor man hører til. Stranden er børnevenlig.

Loud, the neighbour starts building his metal tables, cutting metal at 6m. Checked in only at 4pm after waiting four hours cause other people were still in the room, lost the whole afternoon. When we arrived we got told in a very unfriendly way that the room is still occupied and we are too early anyways, check in time is 2pm. Unorganized, not worth the money.

Good little hotel
The location of this place is very good as it is a few minutes away from the beaches, the main town as well as the ferry terminal. The staff (Carmella) was so so lovely and was extremely helpful. She answered all our questions and helped us whenever we needed something. The rooms were okay and it is a bit run down. Water pressure in bathroom was quite poor and the hotel itself is quite old. Wifi was also quite poor and we just used our own data instead.

Lovely people, Good value rooms
The room was well appointed for the price we paid for. The staff were really friendly and accommodating and helped us with whatever we needed. However, there was a leak in the T&B that needs fixing (not too much of a hassle tho since they offer rubber slippers for when you have to go inside). Food was execellent and cheap for fresh seafood meals. Ms Ging, the recptionist/barista near the beachfront kubos was a consistent lovely host to everyone (Keep being a ray of sunshine on you beach, Ms Ging!).

3rd wedding anniversary escapade
Stayed here with my hubby, sister, and two more friends for our wedding anniversary. Staff is very accommodating as well as the owner. They helped us book a motorcycle to tour us around and even gave us welcome drinks. I love the unlimited hot water for our coffee and the fact that we could request the staff to cook the fish and squid we bought from outside for a minimal charge.
