Santa Fe Beach Hotels

"I stayed here for 3-4 nights during a super typhoon in November. The typhoon was so severe that everything around us was in chaos, but I was amazed to see the staff clean up and restore everything to normal within half a day. I had considered staying at a moderately priced hostel since Bantayan Island is more about activities than luxury resort stays, but then I found Ananya Resort at a similar price point. For a beachfront property of this quality, the value for money is exceptional, and it's incredibly well-maintained and clean, so I highly, highly recommend it! The resort staff are also very friendly. If you arrive on the island early in the morning, I recommend paying the 500 pesos for early check-in so you can save some time to rest or start your activities sooner! The breakfast isn't a buffet; instead, you choose from a single menu of Filipino breakfast options. I recommend the Beef Tapa! The only downside, as it's a budget-friendly resort, is that there's no hairdryer! If you need one, make sure to bring your own!"

"Our stay was a mixed bag. On the positive side, the location was great and the breakfast was quite good with decent options. However, the room looked a bit outdated and the walls were quite thin, so we could hear some noise from the hallway. It’s not a bad hotel, but there is definitely room for improvement. Fair value for the price."

"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."

"Honest review for Northville Beach Resort 🌴✨ The place is really nice, clean, and beachfront, which made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The ambiance is calm and perfect for a family getaway, and the staff were very accommodating and kind. Just an honest feedback — the aircons in 3 rooms were not as cold as we expected, and the shower in 2 rooms was not functioning properly. But it was still manageable for us since there was a balde available and we’re not very picky. Overall, we still had a good stay and enjoyed our family vacation 🤍 Still a must-stay for us for a chill beach getaway 🌊 Also very near the port, which makes it very convenient. And there’s WiFi, which makes it very convenient. Thank you Northville ."

"Good location near of many restaurants, beautiful view from our room, nice beach, the staff is friendly and clean. "

"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."

"I have staued at SF Cantina several times and it has always been delightful. It isnt fancy, but it is clean, comfortable and affordable and...right on the beach! Their beach cafe is a lovely place to hang out and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. My favorite part is the staff. They are always so welcoming and helpful. They are kind to my son and do their best to help with any needs you might have. It is a safe, quiet location for families."

"The apartment is very hot and stuffy, there is air conditioning in the bedroom, but it is very noisy. Near the houses there was an unkempt area with unpleasant odors coming from it. In addition to apartments, they have regular rooms, which is where I moved after one night in the house. There are no questions about the rooms, everything is fine, the location, the internet was excellent. The air conditioner didn't make any noise."

"The place is a cozy escape. The cottages were unique and comfortable — felt like in a fairytale cabin that is surrounded by lush vegetation. Tucked away from the crowds, it offers stunning beach views and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. the peaceful setting was just what we needed to unwind. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and recharge by the water. Oh, the staff were hospitable. I like the idea of the “HONESTY-Basis” of the restaurant. and yeah, they have a friendly pack of dogs you can play along with. 💕💕💕"

"The place is so nice and you can relax. Friendly Staff and always greeting you with a smile.. For sure i will be back again…"
