La Playa Estrella Beach Resort

The serenity that you’re looking for.

It is a good resort, it is quiet, accommodating staff and nice place. Their restaurant offered good food at reasonable prices.

Resort communication wasn’t ideal. We waited a long time for the resort shuttle. We called a few times to the resort but our calls were cancelled. We able to reached them tru messenger not the number posted. They have strict rules that weren’t mentioned in their website. They have corkage if you bring “chichirya” from outside but these aren’t sold in the resort either.

Location.

Not clean. Bed sheets and curtains has stains. Room has ants. Pillows are not that comfortable. Refrigerator doesnt work good. Rooms are old.

The place is really nice and has a good beach view.

Food service needs improvement on waiting time.

The beach front view looked really good. And has enough space for beach activities like volleyball. It was nice to wake up to.

Some rooms have better air conditioning than others because some units were outdated. The shower also has low pressure so the hot shower didn't work well. Like the vicinity was great but the rooms were not as much

Comfortable and accessible

none

Frühstück sehr gut, nur keine Butter verfügbar. Auch nicht nach mehrmaligen Nachfragen.

The food is great here. We chose to just eat here every breakfast because we want to try all of in their menu. The price is just as good as the food.

I suggest having a better electric provider, or because maybe they use solar that's why sometimes the light is not too good. I hope they have other activities in the resort.

The property is conveniently located near attractions like Ogtong Cave and the Ruins, as well as scenic spots such as the mangrove and Coconut Road. They also have a playground for kids, which is a nice addition. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a peaceful stay just a short distance away from the busy areas of Sta. Fe. There’s also an on-site restaurant and bar, making it easy to order food anytime. Just to note though, there’s no complimentary breakfast, and they charge corkage for outside food and drinks, even for light snacks. Also, no complimentary bottled water, but you can head to their restaurant and ask for some drinking water. Friendly staff.

The shower had rust, there was no TV, and one room had a strong smell of insect spray, which felt unsafe to inhale. The spray was also left inside the room by the mirror. It was very hot and sunny when we arrived, and we were hoping to rest right away, but those in that room had to air it out first. Sliding doors were hard to operate, locking them was tricky, and towels were only provided after we checked in. The soap had a small tear in the packaging and was already wet underneath, and the cup in the bathroom was also wet—possibly from cleaning, but not sure if it had been replaced.

For a first timer in the island, my expectations were matched. Place was beautiful. Location wise it's ok. Staffs are friendly.

Just the food.... I mean food in the rest was okay. The only thing is that, there is a cutoff time to order at night. It's hard to get something to eat specially you can't bring outside food inside the resort.

The location was close to the airport which was where I wanted to go, also the rooms are big and spacious and the staff are so helpful

Vast shoreline

No pool

Superbe plage. D’ailleurs sur toute la plage, c’est l’Estrella qui a le meilleur spot. Resto très bon et pas très cher. Personnel adorable mais comme dans beaucoup d’endroits aux Philippines

Rien

The location was great! A cheap ferry ride from Hagnaya, a short drive from the port to the hotel. The beach is amazing! My kids loved playing in the sand and my husband and I loved watching the sunsets from the water. The snorkeling was great too! Lots of fish and other wildlife. The hotel staff were so sweet and kind! Food at the restaurant was great too.

The mattresses could be a little thicker, but honestly, it wasn’t bad at all!

Posizione eccellente, un po fuori dal centro ma bella spiaggia e tranquillo se cerchi relax

bagno migliorabile

No hot water

Location is perfect not too crowded and very responsive staff

It's a great location and the people are really nice that work there.

They gave me an old towel. That was burned up by all the chlorine That they use. It ripped when I had it and they made me pay 700 pesos to replace it. That's a scam if you ask me.

For the money I’ve spent, the room doesn’t have hand towels, wash cloth, the shower has no shelf, no hooks to hang on the wall. Beach towels are stained and looks old, it’s pretty much a bed, sink, shower and a small counter with 1 chair. The location is walking distance to the water. I guess it’s the trade off for the money you spent for the room. The food prices are reasonable, not so high. I wish the place was better, we had a great time exploring the island and in santa fe.

The room

Beach front

Foods not many choices

Not enough services for the price ☹️

Beautiful location and real quiet, amazing staff , super comfortable. Restaurants has amazing food great pricing .

We liked that it has beach front, bar and restaurant.

It has no pool and no breakfast included.

Place is clean

Limited choice of food in the restaurant

Place was really beautiful, clean and near to tourist checkpoints.

Bad internet connection

The location and friendly staff

No television 😩

The location is great, affordable and the staff are super friendly and accommodating

The water pressure for the shower was so weak and the drainage in the bathroom was very poor

On the beach

Not very nice looking

La Playa totally exceeded my expectations! The location is absolutely stunning – a bright white beach, crystal-clear turquoise water, and hardly any tourists, which is rare compared to a lot of other beach spots. If you’re looking for a real tropical beach vibe without the crowds, this is the place to be! It’s also just a short 3–4 minute tricycle ride to the market in Santa Fe, and the place itself is really well taken care of. But the best part? The staff!– they’re super friendly, welcoming, and always on top of things. Every Friday and Saturday they do a barbecue with tasty Filipino dishes, and I have to mention this – the bartender makes some seriously amazing cocktails! All in all, a dream getaway if you want that true tropical beach feel, beautiful surroundings, and a laid-back, friendly atmosphere – without all the tourist crowds.

The only downside is that the WiFi on Bantayan Island tends to be quite unstable overall.

Beach front and the room so clean, the beds is very comfortable.

The price i paid no breakfast included.

Beach is nice, infront of the property. Rooms are spacious.

Renovating some part prolly putting pool in, not an ig worthy if taking pic infront of your room. Location is so-so pretty far from the center and in quiet area. Foods are not that great and small portion. What I don’t really like was the neighbor resort (not sure) they’re blasting music and doing karaoke late night idk up until 1-2am. You can hear it from the room and I couldn’t sleep. It ruined my stay because of that.

Lovely sandy beach We had a pleasant stay overall it was nice and enjoyable, beach volleyball lounger around the area, and white crystal sandy beach. Very accessible to the other places. By taking a tricycle and motorbike. Breakfast was good. Sta fe Bantayan Cebu is a beautiful island only 1 hour ferry from hagnaya port.

The toilet Although the room is good enough for 4 people, Could've been better if they put TV and hair dryer. Door is not lock properly, we were very mindful of our staff the beach is wide open lots of strangers and vendors keep passing by. Toilet smell like sewage. Apart from that we had a pleasant stay!

Constant sewerage odour in the room, seemed too hard for hotel to fix, didn’t even offer a change of room.

Excellent overall, access to beach. Swimming pool under construction in the middle, be nice when completed. When there's brownout, generator kicks in quickly

Pool under construction.

good selection, food well prepared & cooked to perfection, sensible prices , service with a smile

allocated room with non garden view, booked room with garden view at higher cost. had appropriate conversation with staff, manager gave difference in room charge as credit to spend in Restaurant/ Bar. problem resolved promptly.

No refrigerators in the rooms no TVs in the rooms only can buy food on the site and the restaurant closes at 9 PM and the last day there they tried to close the last month at 9 AM in the morning

Lack of amenities that you would expect at the property at that price things they’re taking for granted like a refrigerator in the room and the TV in the room

We stayed in a spacious room that was surprisingly large for just two people. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making our stay pleasant. The highlight of our experience was the beach—absolutely exceptional!

There were a couple of drawbacks. The bathroom lacked an air freshener, and unfortunately, there was an unpleasant odor similar to vomit. Additionally, we ordered the pork liempo for dinner at Php 200, but the portion was disappointing—thin, small slices that felt more like bacon. For the same price, you'd likely find better dining options outside. Overall, it's a great place if you prioritize space and beach access, but there’s room for improvement in certain areas.

Nice beach , good food

Delicious food but serving little

Beach Volleyball

Water in the room smells, beach towels are so thin and ugly

The food from their restaurant were delicious. The staff were very nice and accommodating.

The room we booked was a bit small for a group of 4. It was mostly cloudy when we visit so we couldn't appreciate the sunrise and sunset.

Staffs are very friendly. Food are okay. They have a budget friendly meals for group travellers

BREAKFAST WAS FINE , DINING PLACE IS CLEAN WITH A VIEW OF THE BEACHFRONT. THE CREW VERY ATTENTIVE AND CHARMING.

FIX THE WIFI, OUTSIDE VENDOR

The location was great since it was a couple of minute's ride via tricycle to Poblacion. The staff was also very nice, accommodating, and polite—the free transport to and from the Sta. Fe Pier was a plus! The food at the restaurant was also delicious and priced reasonably.

The Internet is essential to me since my work heavily depends on it. There are parts of the hotel where the WIFI was slow especially in the room.

Very accessible and place was great.

They could have put a television in the room.

The location was great!

it's a comfortable to stay with a nice view, clean surroundings, and approachable staff, the food in their resto is good and tasty as well, the housekeeping is great, and they always attend all our requests. good location near the city center
