Kota Beach Resort

Kota Beach Resort is probably the best resort here in Santa Fe. Though there are still some rooms for improvement. Some cabins has no wifi and TV. The signal strenght is so weak. There are some area that has a good spot for wifi signal. The crew are very hospitable and respectful.

Kota Beach Resort is an amazing place to stay in Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island. The accommodations are well-maintained and we received a great service from their friendly and approachable staff. The beautiful & clean beach is a few steps away with a long white sandy shoreline that is good for a super safe & therapeutic walking on barefoot. Kadlawon Restaurant served good food worth the price. We were stranded on the island for 2 more days because of typhoon OpongPH but our needs were promptly addressed by the management and we were excellently taken care of by all their staff. Overall, our stay has been more than satisfactory. Highly recommended!!!

The rooms and free breakfast are okay.. The sand is a bit coarse along the beach but very fine further along on the waters.. And the best part are the fishes!🥰 You can see them on your feet while swimming because the water is very clear and calm..

Beachfront and perfectly positioned for a gorgeous sunrise. Such a lovely spot to wake up to. We stayed here for five days and really enjoyed the peaceful vibe. However, it feels like the huts haven’t been maintained well since the pandemic. A little upkeep would make the place even more inviting because it truly has so much potential. We met so many cute dogs here. Sad to leave them after our vacation.

We stayed in Kota Beach around 10yrs ago and we remembered how good their food was so we dined here again to check and we were not disappointed. The food is still as delicious as we could recall and the portions are good for 3-4 people. The grilled squid was not overcooked, something that is so easy to do but here it was just perfect.

We stayed here last week for a quick trip.
We messaged them before our ship left Hagnaya Port, thinking the van would already be waiting at Sta. Fe Port when we arrived, but we had to wait a bit. Not a big deal, just worth noting. Check-in was smooth, and the receptionist was super nice. She clearly enjoys what she does, which set a good vibe.
Service at the restaurant was mixed. On our first breakfast, the waitress was great, but the one the next day wasn’t as attentive.
Also, the guard kept asking if we were checked in every time we were at the beach area, which got a bit tiring. As for the room, walls were super thin. We could literally hear the upstairs neighbors doing the deed. The floor also felt sticky, and there were no room slippers, which would've been nice. All in all, it was an okay stay. I’d come back mainly for the relaxing massage and the grilled food during bbq night.

Overall our stay at Kota Beach resort is a good one. The positive factors are the accommodating staff, the cute dogs, the beach and the location. The resort is near the restaurants around the area. However, some disappointing factors for us were the limited food options for the free breakfast, the room gets moist easily (we booked a beachfront cabana), the lock at the bathroom is broken, and if the cabana door could have a double lock inside just for safety is additional plus for those with families.

Kota Beach is truly the best place to stay in Bantayan! 🌴 The beachfront is stunning, the vibe is relaxing, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing—delicious, well-prepared, and the portions are really generous, making every meal satisfying. The rooms are comfortable, though they could use a little bit of renovation to make the experience even better. Still, our stay was wonderful overall. From the beautiful sunsets to the peaceful atmosphere, everything was worth it. If you’re planning a trip to Bantayan, this is definitely the TOP choice. We’ll surely come back again! 💙
