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.

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. Karaoke baari soi aamusta iltaan!

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.

ホテルというよりホステルと言った方がいいと思います。 部屋からビーチ本当に数秒でいけます。 部屋からオーシャンビューが見えると思っていましたがほとんど木で覆われていて想像していたのとは少し違っていました。 部屋に到着すると ・トイレットペーパーがない ・TVは壊れていて設置しているだけ ・エアコンもリモコンなしで温度調節もできない ・部屋には昆虫がいたり、蜘蛛の巣が張っていました。 スタッフはにこやかでいつもフレンドリーでしたが モーニングを頼むと頼んだものがなく、違うものが届きました。 ３０分後にかたずけにくるからバルコニーに置いといて と言われたので置いておくと帰って来てもそのまま。 ありが沢山来ていました。 この金額であれば仕方ないと思いますが ビーチから近いTVありのところを選んだのでTVがつかないのであれば もう少し安くてもいいと思います。

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.
