Baarilliset hotellit kohteessa Santa Fe

"It's a mixed bag. The location is excellent, offering a different, good sea every day. For safe swimming, you need to follow the tide schedule. The hotel grounds and plants are very well maintained; they're beautiful and clean. There's a long stretch of beach for strolls. Logistically convenient – there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, shops selling travel essentials, and a market with fresh produce nearby. A major drawback is the large construction site nearby, which can be heard all day, especially in the bungalows nearby. The rooms and bungalows are in fair condition. However, there are some serious downsides: every other day, it was impossible to shower due to low water pressure; when the pressure was low, the water heater wouldn't turn on; and the water had a strong sewer smell. At breakfast, the restaurant won't offer you salt, pepper, or sauces unless you ask. Drinks include juice from concentrate or coffee. Only after a week did we discover they offer tea for breakfast. The breakfast is very basic, and there's no fruit at all, which is surprising given the price of fruit on the island. There was trash on the beach all week, just a little bit, washed up by the sea. It was cleaned up quickly, as it didn't require much effort. But why is the beach cleaned only once a week? The hotel website advertises a shuttle service, but I advise against it. Personal experience: I sent a text message and email to the hotel on time; our ferry departed at 5:30 PM. We arrived on the island around 7:00 PM. We weren't met. We got there ourselves. A hotel security guard met us at the hotel and gave us our room keys. It immediately became clear that the light switch in the bathroom was causing lightning and could shock us, and the water heater wasn't working. The security guard said, ”Take this up with the management tomorrow; my concern is safety.” Information about room problems is not passed on to the management. So, we spent the first night without hot water or power in the bathroom. After we contacted them, they gave us a working room mid-way through the second day. They didn't apologize for the missed shuttle service, and they didn't offer the stated compensation for our independent transfer. Moreover, I received a welcome email from the hotel after only one day of my stay. The hotel has adequate staff, and the people are positive and friendly. However, management, quality control, and leadership are seriously flawed. The rooms are overloaded with text reminders, rules, and restrictions, many of which would be confusing to a normal person. Or does the hotel manager think only people with dementia stay at their hotel? Reminders and restrictions are completely unnecessary if guests are greeted promptly and the necessary information is provided electronically in their native language."

"Staying at the resort was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s hospitality was impeccable. The room was also spacious and clean."

"Very nice resort, the people very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very chill and have a private beach, 2 swimming pools very clean and one is just for th guests in the hotel. The beds are very comfortable, and the room service also is very nice. With a tricycle is just 5 minutes to the center of Santa Fe so is very good because is very nice and not so crowded. Just 5 minutes walking have the ruins and in front of the ruins have a very delicious restaurant so I think this place is perfect for be relax and not with so many people, the resort I think for the price and all they offer is perfect! And the restaurant for breakfast also is delicious and have many options. So I highly recommended."

"Stayed at SF Cantina in Bantayan, Cebu and honestly, it’s the kind of place you go to when you just want to slow down. It’s not a fancy resort, but that’s exactly what makes it special. The vibe is super laid-back, peaceful, and very close to nature. What I really appreciated is how well the place is preserved—it feels raw, authentic, and untouched in the best way. You can tell they care about keeping the environment as is, which adds so much to the overall experience. The ambience is incredibly relaxing—perfect for disconnecting, enjoying the sea breeze, and just being present. If you’re looking for luxury, this might not be it. But if you want a calm, simple, and genuine island stay, this place definitely delivers."

"Staff are great and the service is excellent. The location is perfect. The daily breakfasts were wonderful and I loved them. Thank you, Amihan—I hope to stay with you again. Kudos to the breakfast team as well; you always provide great service! I"

"Paikka on mukava pako. Huoneistot olivat ainutlaatuisia ja mukavia tuntui kuin fairytale hytti, joka on ympäröinyt lusikka kasvillisuutta. Se on kaukana joukosta, se tarjoaa upeat ranta näkymät ja lämmin, tervetullut ilmapiiri. rauhallinen asento oli juuri mitä meidän oli pakko rentoutua. Hyvin suositeltu kaikille, jotka haluavat rentoutua ja ladata veden. Oh, henkilöstö oli vieras. Pidän ajatusta “Restoran rehellisyys-Base”. ja kyllä, heillä on ystävällinen paketti koiria voit pelata yhdessä. 💕💕💕"

"The place is white basic , the water in the shower is not that strong but pretty decent,love the clean feel and scent of sheets but not the towels.Conveniently located at the heart of Sta Fe walking distance to pretty much everything. The stairs to second floor has a very steep steps not kid nor senior friendly, quite dangerous tobe honest, so difficult to get assistance as u need to go down all the time,no intercom etc and the weirdest thing is although their restaurant is always packed, the servers need proper briefing and training,wen u talk to them their head is flying elsewhere, their to the next thing even ur not done speaking, i needed to finally ask one to stay and listen instead of keeping moving away while im still politely talking to them as it is quite tiring to catching ur breathe talking to someone who’s making movements away from u while ur still ordering etc,borderline of being rude,fyi it didnt happen to one but to at least 3 or 4 servers we talk, its like theyre trained to move fast without thinking they need to listen and stand still even for few secs while ur still talking to them. Btw they served the best Avocado shake ive tasted to date."

"We enjoyed our stay but there are just some little cons we experienced, it might differ from others. Room is very tidy and clean, the bed is very comfy but the pillow is not nice it’s very thin it feels like nothing. The Bathroom is quite spacious has a bidet but the water pressure in the shower is very slow wish they could fix that. And we noticed that there is only one mirror and that is in the bathroom which is kinda inconvenient. But overall service and staff are amazing and the food! Would still recommend!"

"The resort’s charming bamboo design creates a warm, nature-inspired atmosphere that perfectly captures the relaxing feel of province life. The staff are exceptionally welcoming, kind, and approachable, always attentive to guests’ needs. They even go the extra mile with thoughtful touches, like accommodating laundry preferences and providing transportation to the port. Its location is ideal, you can explore nearby attractions and local shops on foot, or rent a motorbike for a wider adventure. Plenty of nearby restaurants offer a range of food choices, and the resort accepts both cash and cards for convenience. We had a wonderful stay, it was the perfect place to unwind and recharge before heading back to our busy work schedules. While you’re here, make sure to visit Baigad Lagoon, Secret Paradise (White Sand Beach), and the Obo-ob Mangrove Eco-Park all worth the trip for their beauty and unique charm. And for a memorable experience, don’t miss the kawa hot bath, a fun and relaxing soak in a giant cauldron-like tub heated over a fire. Crystal-clear waters, breathtaking views, and plenty of photo opportunities make these spots unforgettable, so bring your camera or drone to capture the magic."
