2days in Anika

This is my second visit but this time I have the ocean view, when I like the place I always go back, I love the container van room its modern, clean and nice bath,
price is not bad, good food, the only minor issue was our room comes with 2 beds, the single bed comes with a soft blanket but the big one only have a rough blanket, I told one of the staff for a soft one but forgot to bring me one, anyways it was still a good stay.

Worst hotel I have ever been around the world with that price. The toilet doesn’t flush properly; we have to fill the tank four to five times to flush it. Complaint about it the first day and the maintenance guy said we should put any toilet paper on it. Fine, the next day it happened again without toilet paper! I went to the reception and complained about it asked to changed room but they said they’ll send a maintenance. We waited an hour to have it fix together with the faucet on the sink which is broken and have to be replaced. For three days we have to suffer flushing the toilet many times!

I liked that it’s quiet and that we had easy access to the beach... The no wifi in the room and no air conditioning in the restaurant.

Luckily there is a very nice swimming pool

Very nice swimming pool. Super friendly staff. Quality of the preparation of the food in the restaurant was however not great. The aircon was very noisy, but staff was very helpful to reduce the noise (vibrations) a bit with using tape.

Good Value for Money: Recommended

Clean sand beach, clean water, pleasant room with comfortable bed, demand hot water shower, good a/c. Had to r/q room make-up. SantaFe is 5 min/PhP20 pp trike trip with multiple dining selections and limited entertainment. Family friendly. Only one ATM in town, and it was very cranky! Go to market for fresh fruits and danggit. Don’t buy from shops on street

Wifi very bad, even in reception area.

Great food at the restaurant

The beach at Santa Fe isn’t as nice as other destinations, however we used the pool in the resort instead. The accommodation are converted shipping containers, but they are comfortable.

The food at the onsite restaurant was awesome. We tried some of the restaurants in town, but found the food at the resort was better.

Can you sleep with a dripping sink all night?

It is a good idea to explain amenities a bit clearer. We got charged for bringing ice to our room from the dining area?? Really???
The sink leaked a drip the entire time. The toilet ballast was broken, and the shower door did not slide along the rail correctly.

The people and wait staff were friendly, but it only makes sense to make sure all appliances and fixtures are in proper working condition for the customer before check in.... COMMON SENSE.

We arrived on a perfect day and was welcomed by the staff. The place was awesome and we had a great time. The security folks were genuine to keep you safe and very respectful. Some of the restaurant staff may need some experience/training so customers dont wait too long waiting for them. The restaurant have a great selection of food to keep you in the complex. I miss this place already and will definitely will consider coming back in the near future.

I was thoroughly impressed with this resort. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the food was great, and most of all the beach was absolutely beautiful. We couldn't get enough of the water. The whole island is nice. Very quaint with friendly people. I liked it much better than Boracay.

Just Okay

This hotel is okay, but should remove the word \"resort\" from its name. It's more like a motel with a pool and a restaurant. The shipping containers are quite bare bones. Don't expect them to be terribly comfortable. However, the patio was a nice size, and well furnished. The restaurant is not great. Not awful, but after our first meal there, we avoided it. We arrived after a storm, so the beach, although lovely, was filthy. This wasn't the resort's fault, and to their credit, they worked during our entire stay to remove the garbage and debris from the beach. Overall, if you adjust your expectations from \"resort\" to more like \"motel,\" you'll avoid disappointment.

Terrible staff

The staff at the Anika Island Resort is horrendous. They got our reservations wrong after I'd called the previous dayto confirm and therefore got charged for nights that were unused, and they seemed to care less and didn't even apologize or offer any concessions for the inconvenience. The staff was usually looking bored or applying makeup/brushing their hair whenever I walked by the front desk, and acted like I was bothering them if I approached. Most notably, we put out the sign to make up our room in the morning when we went to the beach, and the room wasn't made up at 8 pm when we returned. There was no phone to call the desk so when I approached them to ask why the room wasn't made up, the front desk agent simply said, \"I don't know.\" The other guests seemed to be having the same problems our group was, and beyond the nice beachfront location, I don't know how this property stays in business with such horrible service.

Disappointing hotel and island

Pleasant staff and lovely coconut trees within the resort. Comfortable beds. Decent enough food. Swimming pool under construction quite unsightly at the moment but will be a big plus once complete as the sea is only really suitable for swimming for a few hours during high tide. The beach is dirty with seaweed, various plastic rubbish and dog poo. The huts are made of corrugated steel and are very small and hot. The air conditioning is extremely noisy sounding like an old bus so you end up not being able to sleep either because of the noise or because of the heat when a/c switched off. No hand towels, no fridge, no kettle and no drink glasses in room. Much dust build up on the back of the TV, mouldy bathroom door, one night saw a live cockroach in the room managed to swat it with a flip flop, rats running around in the discarded rubbish behind the kitchen and lots of flies in the restaurant. Makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like behind the closed doors. Annoyingly, breakfast not included in the room rate. 5% service charge added to all food orders but no one ever collects the empty plates until you vacate the table so you end up surrounded by food leftovers with flies feasting on them whilst finishing your drinks. The entire Bantayan island scattered with rubbish all over. Lots of ppl just sitting or laying idle outside their homes but no one making any effort to clean up. Needles to say, checked out one day early and left this place.

They dont inform their customers about paying the tours and extra services in cash so be careful if your idea is paying in the hotel with credit card because you cannot and the nearest ATM in the island is 30 km far from the hotel. They have to improve their client service and the manager of the hotel doesnt offer any solution.

Nice Hotel

Anika Island Resort is closed to the port. Anika has a shuttle running between the hotel and the port. The staff are very friendly and the wifi is pretty fast comparing to other areas. Anika is a very simple hotel, with no western amenities. It's a great place to stay if you are looking to relax at the beach and enjoy great local food. If you are looking for pool, or beach side services, this is not the place.

Good but could be improved.

Quite a nice little resort. Main issues:

-no wifi in the rooms, for this price it should do!
-one waiter in particular was very miserable and unwelcoming.
-beach had rubbish and loads of cigarette butts on it around the loungers.
-no side table near bed so phone had to sit on the floor.
-little to do, no pool tables or entertainment at all.

However, the food was good as was the shower and bed.

Mostly good. The guests in adjacent room were noisy unfortunately. 3 night stay and no room cleaning was offered however we also did not request. Rey was prompt and helpful in making arrangements online. If you can easily carry your luggage I recommend the walk from ferry to hotel, I had a backpack and prefer the 5 or 10 minute walk along beach as opposed to waiting for shuttle.

Helt okej boende på stran nära hamnen på Bantayan

Vi hade bokat rum med havsutsikt och de var helt ok. Fin utsikt över havet. Själva anläggningen är lite tråkig med en ganska omysig restaurang där servicen var långsam, men trevliga och snälla servitriser. Vi åkte in till Santa Fe och åt middag. Inger extra, rätt enkla men rena rum. Hotellet hade kunnat göra det bättre med vattenflaska vid ankomst och pool- strandhanddukar som många andra boenden har.

このホテルには3泊しましたが、従業員への教育が行き届いており、すれ違う、或いは目を合わせれば皆が声を出して挨拶します。
残念なことは客室内でWiが使用できないこと、但し、私の場合レストランのすぐ横の部屋でしたから辛うじて繋がりました。但しスピードはかなり遅かったです。
この島の海沿いのホテルが良いことは、青く光り輝く海と白いビーチです。Santa Fe　ビーチの場合、海藻が浜に打ち上げられており、Sugar Beach に比べ少々美観が劣ります。
