Best Daanbantayan Hotels

"Amazing location right next to the beach, spacious balcony (with a line to hang wet clothes) overlooking beach on either west or east side. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. No WiFi in the room available though, have to go reception area for WiFi. The room is clean but I did find two cockroaches (one of those damaged the O-rings on my diving flashlight when it was drying overnight) and there were ants on the balcony and bathroom too. There was no big bucket to soak swimming/diving equipment that many other hotels provide, you can use the ones at dive shops but I would prefer if there was bucket big enough to put camera/computer/mask/clothes etc in and soak it in warm water for an hour. Overall it's good value for the price."

"The boat to Mama Island was temporarily closed, and there is this one near the pier. Most resort hotels are locals, there is no choice for eating, the taste can also be slightly higher, call tutu to the Maya Pier 100 people The facilities are old, the air conditioner is the kind of manual hahaha"

"The hotel is right on the beach and in a great location. The Filipino service is also warm and courteous, and the breakfast is very good. Room facilities are relatively simple, plus 500 pesos / day to stay in the ordinary room to enjoy air conditioning. In addition, there are often foreigners’ rave parties in the evening, just below the room, and they have been carnival until 12 o'clock, which seriously affects the rest."

"The Tepanee Resort can actually be recommended: - simple but clean rooms. Unfortunately, they are a bit noisy and you just have to be lucky with the award. There are bungalows whose terraces are completely on the path with no view - which, in contrast to others, just seems a shame. - a simple breakfast buffet, which unfortunately is only offered from 8:00 a.m. and is therefore wasted money for active divers who are already on the boat. The Filipino dishes here are often good, but the fruit and vegetables are very carelessly prepared. Even if asked, nothing can be prepared here. I would be happy to recommend the resort, especially because of the great location, because it is located on a very beautiful and protected bay that is bursting with biodiversity and offers a retreat for young black tip reef sharks. But here comes the but: - the price for the rooms is too high - The bay is controlled by the owner and staff and care is taken to ensure that snorkelers behave well. What sounds good in itself, however, degenerates into the fact that there is often shouting, whistling and megaphone talking across the bay. An absolutely absurd situation in which the owner of the resort apparently doesn't find any solutions to help beginners in snorkeling who are in trouble (e.g. with floating rings that they can use to adjust the mask/the concrete blocks are already on the ground) - but only in a very disgusting way. There was even shouting back and forth in the bay from snorkelers and owners. Simply unpleasant. My tip: Get a cheap hotel and pay the 200php entrance fee to snorkel on site in the bay. The bay is worth it, but the hotel is not worth it."

"Hotel location is particularly good, just at the pier! Get off the boat! It is convenient to go anywhere, similar to the middle position. However, the infrastructure is relatively poor, and it is a bit dirty. Although it is cleaned every day, it is clean, but it is really hard, it is always dirty. It is inevitable to take some sand off the shoes. No mineral water~ the most important In order to save money, I didn't have an air-conditioned room. It was really hot and sad. At night, the front desk was a bit like a bar. It was a bit noisy, but it was okay, not too late, and you know that diving is too tired and you will sleep very quickly."

"The hotel is not located on the shore, but has a beautiful, well-kept area with a garden. The room is spacious, clean, with windows overlooking the hotel grounds. There is a hot shower, air conditioning, TV. We were a little delayed in leaving, but we were given enough time to calmly pack our bags."

"Really nice oasis of a retreat, very relaxing. Great service and staff were very helpful. Close to the beach and nice and quiet with lovely veranda areas. It had rained so some mosquitoes but they can't get into the rooms and the hotel helpfully supplies mosquito coils to burn outside."

"I loved the pool, and the food was great. I am not a big fan of their breakfast, but I highly recommend their vegetable and mushroom or chicken and vegetable fried rice. The price was reasonable too. The location is quieter than other places I have stayed or came upon. It is far away from karaoke shops so you don't hear much singing than other places. The room was decent and clean, even though the bathroom could be bigger with better water pressure. Overall, I would like to stay here again."

"The hotel is in a very convenient location and the service is good. The hotel has a generator, which is very important. The bath water is salty, there is no way, the island is relatively primitive and there is no fresh water purification plant. The food in the hotel is also OK, and it is more convenient to pay directly."

"The location of the hotel is not the best. The room I stayed was facing a very noisy road filled with traffic noise and it’s surrounded by local houses with noisy roosters that start at 3:30 am. There’s no swimming pool as it shows in the pictures. It’s under frozen construction which was right over my room. There’s no hot shower. The owner is very sweet and welcoming! Very nice lady Ruby. She gave many useful tips about the island and helped with booking the diving course. If you’re not a diver, this place is not the best option for you. There’s not much to do on the island. It’s very undeveloped and there’s are only few stops to enjoy the beach life."
