Amihan Beach Cabanas

Had an incredible stay at Amihan Beach Cabanas! The sea view room hut was exceptionally comfortable, and waking up to that ocean view every morning was amazing. The food and drinks at the bar were fantastic as well. A huge shoutout to the staff, who were amazingly warm and accommodating throughout our visit. Can't wait to come back!

We like the area it was really quiet and relaxing. It was close to restaurants and shops.

We did not realize until after the showers was salt water. It was a different experience not bad but we preferred fresh water.

Eine Absolut traumhafte kleine Anlage direkt am Meer. Alles Mega gepflegt jeder Wunsch wird umgehend erfüllt. Wir waren mit unserem 2-jährigen Sohn für 3 Nächte da, das Personal war so liebenswert und kinderfreundlich.

Beliggenheden var fantastisk, selvom det var tæt på by føltes der roligt og fredeligt

Stemningen. Hytterne osede af Bounty strand

LOCATION IS PERFECT! Walking distance from restaurants and church. Restaurant food is delicious with reasonable size and price. Beach is very clean, peaceful and serene. Home service massage is good, better than nuat thai outside resort with fair price.

1. Room lighting is very dim, bamboo aesthetics is old, mosquitoes everywhere even inside the room 2. TOILET TOOK 4 times to completely flush! Water pressure is very weak, shower head is very old and scaly 3. Wood beetles or (“bokbok” in bisaya) falling from ceiling. 4. Paying for P150 for Shuttle service or hotel pickup is fine but took so long, we waited an hour for a car to drive us to another resort for an event.

Perfect

Everything

The location of the accommodation is very nice. The bar gives off a nice vibe.

We were very excited to visit the Beach cabanas… due to bad experience before we contacted the beach cabanas before arriving online if they have any current problems with cockroaches, rats or other pests (got no response). We checked in at the reception and they did a classic check up of the room if everything is fine. So we entered the room 5 minutes later.. in the bathroom and in the bedroom were laying dead cockroaches. The smell was also not very pleasant - there was a strong sewage smell. But all that could have been even handled and we get that cockroaches are a common problem in the Philippines even thought I don’t think it’s acceptable that after a room check you say everything is fine and then there are laying dead cockroaches around. The worst thing was that there was debris continuously falling of the ceiling onto the bed especially the pillows. Every other minute there was dirt, old wood particles or other unidentified materials drift down from above making it impossible for me to imagine staying there just a single night. I added pictures that show it a little bit but trust me when I say … in reality it was way worse cause it does seem like there is not a lot of amount dropping and it’s in a time period of 2 hours … it looked like that or even worse after 10 minutes already. It’s also all over the pillows not just in the middle we wanted to put it together and clean it up until I realized it would be better to document it first. We just spend five to ten minutes in the room really thinking about how are we able to stay there and putting the dirt together and we’re thinking we paid so much we can’t go somewhere else now… but we really decided it’s not worth to risk our health and we don’t feel comfortable like this. There are also lizards staying in the room but to be fair that’s normal in the Philippines - but just that you know.

Staff was super kind, helpful, all in all 10/10 Location is great and they make amazing cocktails

Cleanliness was sub par. Upon check in I had to requedt that they clean the bathroom again as it smelled like urine. In the end I boigh a brush and some cleaning detergent and scrubbed it myself. Toilet was grimey... Room was also very dusty All in all charming but felt very aged. All pictures online were taken many years ago, so I fwlt a bit catfished

I liked the location of the resort which is beach front, the place was not crowded, you can enjoy the beach without vendors and tour agents on your face.

Water pressure was slow and it was a mix of salt and fresh water. Toilet was okay condition Services was not the greatest.

The location is really nice, it is very near the beach and the street where most of the restaurants are

The room advertised in Booking.com did not match the same description in the resort itself. In Booking.com, the room description is Sea View, in the resort, it says Partial Sea View and the staffs were saying its Booking.com’s own description, which means it is false advertising.

The most beautiful beach cabana, open your door to heaven and find yourself on a white sandy beach, within less than a minute walk! Insane views, comfy beach bean bags and areas to lay down. Super friendly and helpful team working here, they have everything under control and were very welcoming and helpful. Can’t wait to go back here.

Location is great, we stayed at Cabana 1 seaview. It overlook the sea and the pool. Great value for money. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Dårlig service. De ansatte dømmer deg for hvordan du ser ut og kler deg.

Skvělá lokalita kousek od pouličního street food .sprej na pokoji off proti komárům,,na terase dezinfekce.skvělá snídaně výběr asi z 10 druhů.pláž skvělá do moře je lepší chodit tam kde je bazén žádná tráva ani koráli.Trochu zmatky při půjčování skútru ale hned se to vyřešilo zapůjčeno od obsluhy.Menu lístek bohatý na výběr a co jsme ochutnali bylo hodně dobré

Chtělo by to filtraci do bazénu každý den ta samá voda???????

Bonitas cabañas

El personal muy despistado Ningun dia nos pusieron fruta en desayuno y entraba No hay intimidad, van muchos turistas al restaurante, piscina y hamacas Hay un solo espejo y super alto Nada de tranquilidad se escuchana musica de locales de alrededor hasta las 12 de la noche Las hamacas viejas y sucias No recomiendo

The staff are very professional and friendly

Room and bathroom sewage odor

Super Lage , sauberer Strand, leckeres Essen + Getränke

Bar-Personal könnte bisschen motivierter sein :-P

Die Lage und der Bar/Poolbereich

Warnung: Rattenbefall, Täuschung und völlig überteuert Unser Aufenthalt im Amihan Beach Cabanas war die größte Enttäuschung unserer Philippinen-Reise. Trotz des stolzen Preises von 8.400 PHP pro Nacht (unserer teuersten Unterkunft) entsprachen die Leistungen in keiner Weise dem Standard. Die Mängel im Detail: • Irreführung bei Buchung: Online wurde nur noch das teure Familienzimmer als "letzte Option" angezeigt. Wie sich herausstellte, waren deutlich bessere Cabanas mit Meerblick die gesamte Zeit über frei – man hat uns offensichtlich bewusst in die teuerste, aber schlechteste Kategorie gedrängt. • Zimmerzustand: Das Familienzimmer war dunkel, muffig und extrem laut (direkt über der Rezeption/Straße). Der Boden und die Regale waren schmutzig (Staub und Dreck). Die Dusche bot nur Salzwasser, wonach man sich klebriger fühlte als nach einem Tag am Meer. • Der Horror in der Nacht: In der zweiten Nacht entdeckten wir um 00:30 Uhr eine Ratte, die über die Dachbalken direkt über unserem Bett lief. • Krisenmanagement: Anstatt uns sofort zu helfen, mussten wir zwei Stunden lang mit dem Nachtmanager diskutieren und auf einen Zimmerwechsel beharren. Erst um 02:30 Uhr morgens konnten wir in eine neue Cabana umziehen. Die Nachtruhe und Erholung vor unserer Weiterreise waren komplett zerstört. Fazit: Das Management war absolut uneinsichtig und verweigerte jede Rückerstattung für diese unzumutbaren Zustände. Ein Hotel, das solche Preise aufruft, aber seine Gäste wissentlich täuscht und Ratten im Zimmer ignoriert, ist absolut nicht empfehlenswert. Spart euch das Geld und bucht woanders auf Bantayan.

excellent food was very good and the place itself

clean , easy access to everything

Beliggenheden og hytterne

Høj musik fra formiddag til 22-23 tiden om aftenen som resortet leverede. Kunne have valgt at skrue ned, dette ikke tilfældet, selvom der var meget få mennesker tilstede i bar og restauranten, meget forstyrrende når man ønsker fred og ro ved stranden. Personalets manglende opmærksomhed i restaurantens åbningstider, havde travlt med at snakke med hinanden. Begrænset drikkeligt tilbehør til morgenmaden. Manglende action omkring rotter som vi både filmede og gjorde personalet opmærksom på, dette blev der ikke gjort noget som helst ved, selvom de opholdt sig i restaurantens rum med kopper, tallerkner og bestik, man fylder Rottehullet, men det var tilbage dagen efter og de løb stadig på jorden mellem bygningen. Meget salt vand i vandhane og bruser ikke så behageligt

The view was fantastic and the rooms were comfortable

Generally all the staff were all great but when they are busy, you can see they needed a touch more training, but we would stay agsin if in the area.

Fina bungalows. Fint område. Bra mat och bra drinkar. Toppen ställe. Minus för stranden. Påverkas mkt av tidvattnet. Bra läge till restauranger och uteliv!

Location

Im, honestly, pretty disappointed. First, I wasnt aware that the family room is located right above the reception area. It should’ve not been a big deal, but I was with two senior citizens, and climbing up the stairs wasn’t very ideal for them. It was probably an oversight on my part for missing that information before booking. But when we get to the room, it seems like the bathroom was too outdated. Not talking about the “cabana style”, but the shower head was too rusty and the sink clogged up after my aunt washed her hands. I ended up talking a shower at a different resort since the water was running really slow and smelled like rust. Lounge chairs and hammock outside our room smelled musty. I guess my expectations were not met compared from the videos/photos I saw online of this resort being too hyped up. At least for the cabana we stayed at, it was really poorly maintained. Bedsheets were somehow clean though, and location was good. Staff were friendly enough. Hopefully the management will do better in (restoring and) maintaining this place prestine.

Emplacement merveilleux sur la plage, super restaurant et bar donnant sur la mer, très bonne musique

La douche dans la villa, stylée mais pas très user friendly

Very calm and pleasant place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Friendly and caring hosts, quiet surroundings, and a feeling of comfort and simplicity. Perfect for relaxing, slowing down, and enjoying the island without rush.

Nothing significant. Everything was as expected for this kind of place.

Location is amazing.

Cleaning and pest. Stay away fro this place. First night we went to bed, turned off the lights and started hearing noises from the ceiling: there were 3 big rats walking over us, the staff acknowledged they have such issue and that "management should really think of placing traps around the resort". Disgusting, we checked out and still they're fighting not to reimburse us.

L’hôtel se survend grâce aux réseaux et aux belles photos mais la qualité n’y est pas du tout surtout compte tenu du prix de la nuitée. Les cabanes sont mignonnes oui mais ce n’est pas exceptionnels, l’hôtel n’est pas directement à la plage comme on peut le penser. Il y a un escalier avant d’accéder à la plage, qui est comme souvent mal entretenue. C’est dommage compte tenu du nombre de salariés disponibles dans le « resort » et qui ne semble pas savoir comment s’occuper. Le personnel est tout de même très gentil mais peu professionnel compte tenu du standing que l’établissement se revendique. La qualité du restaurant est à revoir ! Fast food, surgelé, nourriture à l’huile bas de gamme… bien dommage pour le prix. Idem pour le petit déjeuner qui n’a rien de haut de gamme. Pour les équipements, il est urgent de refaire le bord de la piscine , très petite en passant, car c’est excrément dangereux et très décevants pour le prix payé , à notre passage il était indiqué qu’il était en travaux, c’est faux, vu l’état cela fait bien longtemps qu’il est abîmé. Cet hôtel a du potentiel mais ne vaut certainement le nom de resort ou d’hôtel haut de gamme. Asie ou non (180€ la nuit on attend beaucoup beaucoup mieux).

Vi älskade stället, vår familje-cabana var rymlig och mysig med hängmatta på balkongen. Närheten till stranden och poolen var fantastisk. Maten var outstanding och kom väldigt snabbt. Drinkarna bland de bästa vi druckit. Att boende dessutom låg nära centrum var en bonus.

Kan inte komma på någonting som inte var bra.

Der Ausblick, auf das Wasser, die Stimmung, das Restaurant, der Pool und die Betten

totally recommended. the staffs were amazing. the cabana were tropical , clean

la ubicacion genial las cabañas muy bonitas , por la noche una iluminación de las zonas comunes muy bonita, es una pena que la marea es alta de dia y practicamente no hay playa, el restaurante cafetería muy bien y el personal encantador, el desayuno bueno, puedes ir andando a zona de restaurantes. es una pena que por culpa del terremoto hay muy poca gente aunque en Bantayan esta todo bien,animo a los turistas a visitar la isla y de esa forma ayudar a la maravillosa gente de Bantayan

El servicio en general, tienen todo y si no quiere no tienes que salir del hotel. La ubicación además es espectacular.

Tolles Bungalow Freundliches Team

Misslungene Kommunikation Checkout Probleme wegen eines Handtuchs, wo zuvor schon nicht aufmerksam gemacht wurde

It was near the bantayan square center. It is near the beach and has a pool. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about getting sand into your cabana as there is a foot wash before entering.

Foot wash container is not refilled frequently. Breakfast is the same everyday which makes it very limited. Hopefully, there will be different choices in the menu for the week.

Lovely setting, one of my fave on the island. Beautiful rooms and nice and clean.

Staff have no real interest in coming over to ask for more drinks or food even if you’re sitting right in front of them. Had to go up and ask for each drink or food . Would’ve spent a lot more there if they did

Location

Costomer Care

The loca

We payed about 6000PHP / 96€ per night, which is expensive for the Philippines so we expected a high standard hotel and service but instead we got : - old bungalow 🏚️ that really need a renovation - water problem (no running water at all and when you have some water it smells very bad) - rats 🐀 in the room that wakes you up in the middle of the night. When you notice the staff they don’t care 🤷🏻‍♀️ - unfriendly staff that doesn’t care about customers because they already get the only thing they are interested in : your money - “included breakfast” quality is very poor and if you ask for ice coffee latte it’s extra - they will not assist you properly to book any activities or service (island hopping, motor bike they will ask you for 550PHP/day while the actual price is 350PHP/day, ride to the port not available “because of maintenance”) - noisy as the bungalow are really cheap you hear everything : loud music from the bar next door and kids shouting around - and you can notice they put fake comments on google to keep their rate high (fake account with only 1 review: amazing comments about this hotel with dreamy pictures) It’s really a shame because the location is nice, right on the beach 🏝️ if only they cared a little and put more effort on the service at least…. (The evening/ night reception lady was the only smiling and nice staff tho)

Breakfast was yummyy!!! And LOVE LOVE the beach front

Wifi… couldn’t load / connect

ABC boasts a spectacular location right by the beach, complete with stylish covered sun loungers and cozy bean bags — the perfect setting to enjoy a breathtaking sunrise.

While most of the staff were welcoming, there is still room for even more warmth and attentiveness. Occasionally, there were some delays in clearing plates and bottles left outside the bar area, sometimes taking a bit longer than expected. It’s also worth noting that, although unrelated to ABC, music from a nearby hotel could be quite loud at times.

The location was like paradise, beach cabanas on the beach, private sun loungers, huts and bean bags, excellent beach bar/restaurant with stunning juices and food (the ice tea was sensational). The rooms are well appointed, aircon and fan. However, they were a little stuffy, but not a problem. The beach doggos were so cute and they brought us joy on a daily basis. The sea was warm, clear, beautiful! There was even a free kayak to use. Reception were super helpful with transfers and helping us with a packed breakfast on our last day. Restaurants etc just a few steps away.

The place is magical! Very pretty and fantastic… the only issue was that is very very noisy: at night the hotel nearby was partying and during the day you could hear hammering of people working. Anyway the staff was lovely and try to accommodate all our needs even having breakfast at 5 am

A real gem… great place to relax with good food and drinks

Location.

Staff a bit lazy. No initiative. Had to return lunch plates to them otherwise they don’t pick up till the end of the day. Staff sit by the bar all day rather than waiting on you. Water is lovely except for a bit of rubbish here and there.

Boutique small resort with only 9 cottages. Beautiful setting & very nice beach. Cosy ambience with nice music play ed on very good headspeakers. Choice of beach cabanas sun or shade. Nice restaurant on the beach with good food & drinks. Amihan probably has the most beautiful, peaceful & cosy setting on Bantayan Island! Overall very nice staff. We stayed 4 nights in the ”Casita”, which is the only cottage with a private pool; The pool guy was always cleaning our pool several times a day - great service! The ”Casita” is 2-storey, with bedroom & bathroom upstairs & a Livingroom downstairs; The floors are not connected by stairs inside, but outdoors. The Casita is very private with its own terraces and beautiful sea view. Also has its own shower & toilet downstairs by the private terrace. Reception staff is professional & helpful.

There was No way to keep the light out in the early mornings, because the cottage is built in bambu which is transparent. Also the cockerels next door made noises from 6 A.M. The bed was Ok with nice pilows, but quite hard (which is common in Asia). The breakfast was out of black Tea 3 out of 4 mornings, and also out of watermelon juice…

Just the restaurant area and the food😊

The family room was not clean at all. Bed bugs. Not good for the senior.

Lots to like: location on the beach, distance from the ferry, great restaurants all around, Cloudia and Ashely at the front desk were incredibly accommodating and helpful.

Such a great stay- honestly- would gladly return BUT my Small pet peeve was that during the day guests would let their straw covers fall into the sand and it wasnt always immediately cleared up.

Nice staff and nice garden.

In the first night a pipe broke in the bathroom and the room got flooded and many personal things got soaked. The management was not willing to give us any kind of compensation. very unprofessional. saturday night was very loud from the club next door and from the restaurant of the hotel until 1am.

Ok breakfast. Good location.

Price is too high for what you get. Loud AC. Pool needs a renovation. Pictures were more pretty than reality. Not the hotels fault but we had a mouse in our room as it’s very high ceiling bungalows in nature.

Exclusive front beach for guests

N/A

Staff only interested in looking at a mobile phone, literally all day. Unbelievably bad heavy trance music all day and night with heavy bass into the rooms coming from the property itself. Yes I did request it to be turned down, they did so for 20 mins… Don’t be fooled by the photos. This property need to be updated, the pool has green scum all around and the staff r too lazy to clean it. The decking needs replacing immediately. The place is photogenic at night but the reality is very different.

As above

Nothing

No refund and didn't help me with issue. Also resort very dirty when I spoke to manager.

We recently stayed at Amihan Beach Cabanas in the family room above the reception and had a mixed experience. The resort itself is beautifully designed, with a charming setting that could be ideal for a beach getaway. However, the cabanas are showing signs of wear and could really use some renovating, especially given the premium price. One aspect that impacted our stay was the music, which played throughout the day and night. The playlist felt poorly curated and didn’t fit the relaxing beach vibe we were hoping for, which disrupted the atmosphere more than we expected. Our last night brought an unfortunate surprise when we spotted a huge rat creeping toward the ceiling. This was extremely unsettling and left us with a disappointing final impression. While Amihan Beach Cabanas has a lot of potential, the experience felt overpriced for what we received. With some improvements, it could be a truly exceptional stay.

Very good customer service. Helpful staff.

Quite early check out time (11am).

I booked this trip as a birthday surprise for my cousin. The staff was wonderful and took note on my request to make it extra special for my guest. Of course not much to say about the accommodation as it looked as majestic as the photos online. The beach was prestine , it’s a beautiful island in general. Highly recommended!

N/A

Loved the view, the design, and how accessible it is from the beach. The beach water was so clear! The food tasted great. Great place to watch the sunrise

The frequent power interruptions gave a little inconvenience. It would be great if we were given a heads up at first so we wont be that surprised

The staff! They are the best. They make Amihan a more desirable choice to stay for a vacation. Gil, the bar mixologist is the best. Fuma is very good with her job and always smile. The breakfast gang are very good too. The room amenities is superb and is always cleaned plus the staff reception are attentive and very helpful. The staff makes what Amihan is. The beach was cleaned regularly and the whole place feels safe. I also love the location. It’s a walking distance to the shop for food and drinks.

The swimming pool needs to be refurbished urgently , I wish there was a happy hour and Filipino food choices on the menu.

I like the location, good food

The staff were not courteous enough. They don't even greet their guests. Not attentive to their customers needs. The resort dont offer a shuttle from the port to their resort, their resort should have it considering they a bit expensive. Water system is not good. Salty water.

A good concept that is not thought-out and implemented to the end. Nice beach, but not that huge. The cabanas directly on the beach and you have a barefoot area. Very nice.

The facility is relatively small. A good concept that is not thought through and implemented to the end. Some of the loungers on the beach are firmly anchored and so close to the restaurant that you can't really enjoy the peace and quiet. The restaurant is also well attended by people from outside, which means that unfortunately anyone can get in on the premises, even via the beach. Beach vendors or questionable 'musicians' are also standing right at the breakfast table and nothing is done by hotel employees to avoid it. The rooms are nicely finished, but there is no safe and valuables can only be left at the reception. This is very inconvenient, you just hand it into the hands of an employee and have no idea where exactly it is kept. The complex borders on private houses, so that the chicken farm is directly behind the wall. You are woken up very early every day by crowing roosters. We were only there for a few days and experienced that a large family often books several cabanas in the complex and then behaves on the property as if it only belongs to them - screaming, claiming the pool just for themselves, according to the movie on the cell phone in the restaurant during breakfast. There is no reaction from the hotel/restaurant employees. As does abusing the basic safety rules. Driving your private jet ski between people swimming in the area not intended for this purpose. Sorry, we do not recommend this hotel.

Lovely boutique accommodation right on the beach staying in the casita room with pool. Good breakfast.

We stayed 4 nights and our room wasn’t looked at once. We had to ask everyday for water and coffee pods. Our breakfast dishes sat outside our room all day attracting flys. Could have been better for the rate paid.

The location was great!

Accessibility and the view

The pool needs more cleaning

Location is nice. It is right con the beach. Food is very good. Service is very good also

Music on resort next door was loud on Saturday. Chill out music on Amihan Resort's bar is nice but loud to keep a conversation. Bathroom in the cabana was laking a better clean up

Resort is incredible. Obsessed with the aesthetic. Love the cabanas, so much space to relax, beachfront paradise, restaurant served high quality food and staff were great.

Beds not so comfortable.

Absolutely loved the location, the ocean being right at the door step is breathtaking and so relaxing. It was also walking distance from restaurants and bars. Included breakfast is delicious, we over ate each morning. We have already recommended it to family and my parents are keen to book.

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s good value for money given all other accommodation options are significantly cheaper. Locals even advised us that we were paying too much, but we were happy to spend the money as it was our honeymoon and the location was just beautiful

The clean beaches and beach restaurant/bar.

The noise from the neighboring hotel on the weekends.

Property is on the beach which is amazing and the beach cabin we stayed in was unbelievably good.

We liked everything.

The location!! The food and bar were also great

The noise from the bar behind! No one mentioned at any point during booking that this could be an issue. It wasn’t just loud, it felt like the music was blasting in my room. It went past 11pm and the walls were vibrating. I honestly wouldnt have booked if I knew how bad that would be - which is a shame because everything else was perfect.

Everything its clean and comfy

Nothing

The Staff- they were amazing! I love how they accommodate their guests. “LEA” the dog is very adorable. Hotel should adopt her.

The property rooms especially the one I booked needs an upgrade.
