코타 비치 리조트

We booked Kota Beach Resort to celebrate my partner’s birthday during our trip to Bantayan Island. Upon arrival, the front desk staff was warm, courteous, and knowledgeable. While their service was good, I feel there’s still room for improvement compared to my previous experiences with other resorts on the island. Moving on to the room, my initial impression given the price per night was just "okay." Frankly, it fell short of what I expected for the rate. The floors were dusty, the bathroom had a noticeable odor, and the toilet bowl mechanism was actually broken and tied together with a string. Purely based on room quality and value, there are definitely better options in the area. That said, the resort’s surroundings are easily a 10/10. The relaxed, slow-paced atmosphere, stunning sunrise, and crystal-clear blue waters are exactly what I envisioned when booking Kota Beach. Regarding the complimentary breakfast, options felt quite limited—we were only offered two choices on our first day and two different choices on our second. However, I noticed other guests receiving different options, though I’m unsure if breakfast menus vary by room type. Overall, I’d rate our stay a 7/10. While the room condition was disappointing, the peaceful ambiance and location still made the trip worthwhile.

Paid over 30,000 peso for a room then have to rent a fridge because the listing said fridge and no fridge in the room. In all my years of hotels and resorts all over the world I’ve never had to rent a fridge. Then breakfast. It’s lacklustre at best. Had omelette and the egg was still runny 🤮 The rooms are basic and bathrooms need to be gutted and rebuilt. Rust and corrosion everywhere on fittings. First night put into room with a known broken air conditioning unit so that was fun. Known because when I told them in the morning they said oh that’s waiting on maintenance work. The only positive here is the location but had I know the other huge issues I would’ve given up the location for a lot better room.

Our stay was really good! The staff were nice, friendly, and accommodating. The rooms were cozy and clean, and ang ganda rin ng beach! Super cute din ng mga doggos running around the beach. 🐶🤍 We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely check in here again if we ever come back to Cebu! Highly recommended! ♡
