We stayed in Kota Beach Resort during the holy week and we were very fortunate enough to get rooms despite the peak season. I've been a regular of this resort since the '90s. Coming every now and then. This time, its been awhile since I got back and during this visit I was disappointed to what's happening to the resort.... More

Totally agree w/ the others who said don't be fooled by their picturesque depiction of Kota's resort. Their Amihan room is the worst ever! looks old & suffocating, no interior decor, it's like a four-walled prison cell, old dresser, aircon is like centuries old, we were welcomed by old, dilapidated & dirty sofa & chairs at their filthy veranda...

The only beachfront accommodation I know that is budget friendly, aside from Marlin's Beach Resort (which is quite on the high-end). Friendly staff, provides quite good homecooked meals. Rooms are quaint, we stayed in a cottage-style which gave us a lot of privacy (and also the chills, resort is quite dark at night). The place is not for the picky... More

Great location, value for money and nice staff. The resort is nestled on the corner of the island with a long beach line to the right. The locals were very helpful as cooked fresh seafood, which were very delicious. I traveled a couple of times to Bantayan but stayed here in Kota Beach twice, first in 2008 and the next... More

when we arrived at the sta fe port the driver "mang dodong" was already waiting for us. He was there near the dock ready to carry our bags. He was very accomodating. When we arrived at the reception, we did not get a warm welcome smile from the person there. But I think this is natural with most cebuana women.... More

We chose this beach over others for one reason: Wi-Fi. My friend who previously booked to this beach told us that they have fast wifi and that sealed the deal for us wifi addicts. The location is 15 minute ride from the port. The beach is just in front of you. I also commend their restaurant. huge servings and erases... More

Their rooms are in the form of cottages which is nice because you have your own porch where you can hang-out or dry your swimsuits (at the side). The cottages are at the beach front so we could swim anytime we want. They have white sand beach, clear water and a nice sandbar. What I didn't like is that they... More
