The room was big and clean balcony was very nice to . They served a great breakfast. The internet only worked half the time but we wernt there for that lol. But when you check in take a picture of inside fridge or you are gonna have to pull bottles out of trash to show them . Because they told us they put more drinks in fridge what they really did . So whatch out for that . But besides that this place was everything i was hoping for. I would come back for sure . The price was great too

Clean room. Kind staff. Breakfast was very good but they did not communicate well on food limits. Specialty coffees are extra. Had an unexpected bill at checkout. I raise this for awareness not a complaint.

Very clean! The staff is awesome, kind, helpful and accomodating! It’s a boutique resort hotel that’s quiet and private and beautiful. The food is also very fresh and tasty! The place is as advertised, even better in person. The rooms are very spacious, the beds are comfortable. I’m definitely coming back.

The air conditioning unit is not too effective. Also the stagnant water in the bathrooms need to be removed. It causes mold and mosquitoes. The breakfast is great and the staff are friendly and accommodating. The area in front is gorgeous and the patio is great.

Coral Blue Oriental Beach Villas & Suites is a paradise getaway! We stayed in the Beach Suite with the beach view. It was a one night getaway for Valentine's Day 2024 and a surprise for my significant other and she was thoroughly pleased. The ambiance is very romantic for this particular suite. The staff was very friendly, the accommodation was clean and quiet and the location is walking distance to very good restaurant's, entertainment and 20 yards from the beach. Sitting on the balcony and listing to the waves crash was so relaxing. We enjoyed are stay and highly recommend Coral Blue Oriental Beach Villas & Suites. We will absolutely stay again!

The location was amazing. Right on the beach and minutes away from MJ Market ( food stalls/ restaurants/ bars).

The room is as advertised, however some parts are outdated, such as the bathroom. Cleanliness was a 3/5, we had room service daily , although there were a lot of ants during our stay so we left with ant bites at the end.

The main reason for the poor rating is due to the staff. The service felt very impersonal. Out of all staff members we’ve only encountered 1 lady who was genuine ,but the rest seemed robotic, we felt like we weren’t welcomed. After our stay, nobody acknowledged us, other than “thanks for bringing the keys back”. We asked a couple of staff of any recommendations for places to eat and they said nothing? We thought it was the language barrier but they spoke well English..

Considering the price, this place was not worth it. Wouldn’t comeback.

Wonderful place to get away from it all. Bungalows made very comfortable right on the beach with an absolutely fabulous swimming beach nearby. The food here is good with lots of choices, but the service is rather slow. That was alright with us though because we were in no hurry, just crashing from the world outside. If you want to do things in tie , it is within just 5 minutes of the hotel with lots of restaurants and the convinces needs, but still very quaint.

This is a taste of Paradise. The staff were amazing, the food was amazing, our room was amazing. We will come back here for sure one day.

Don't be put off by the amount of travel you have to go through to get here. It's a long bus ride and a ferry trip from Mactan/Cebu, but if you're looking for a laid back, slow paced place to recharge, this is it. If you're looking for high energy party vibes, go elsewhere.

We had 2 bed villa but only 2 of us. Spacious. Very helpful staff, airport pickup, island hopping and motorcycle hire all arranged well. Free breakfast good and well presented. Cons: beach dirty, noisy window AC, no hot water in sink, very bad water pressure, slow WiFi. Our unit was the highest and may have caused the low water pressure. Beach gets better further from the port and best for swimming near the sandbar 10 Min walk.

Worth staying there

In general a very good resort, also the service. The choices on the menu of the restaurant are rather limited, but other restaurants are nearby, so it was not a real disadvantage. Maintenance at the outside of the room (knocking) on the last day was disturbing.

Beachfront property but poor facilities

Stayed for 2 nights in the 2-bedroom villa with friends in this beachfront property. Hotel room theme of native bamboo looks good. But the room lacks basic things like enough space for guests' things as make- up and personal care items. Toilet and bath do not have towel racks and soap holder. Water pressure is weak, no hot water, and bathroom is dark. Lots of hotel staff but not very helpful.

Pleasant Huts and Great View

This is a small hotel composed of seven bamboo huts. It's a very short walk from Santa Fe town, and therefore in a convenient location. If you have an upper unit, you will enjoy a lovely view of the ocean. However, if you are looking for a hotel on a nice beach for swimming, try just around the other side of the island near Kota Beach, as the spot in front of the Coral Blue does not have the best beach. The hotel does provide a well kept sandy area with tables and chairs and several sun loungers, which is a pretty area to relax with the sea as a backdrop. The huts are made from bamboo, very spacious, and have ample storage. Our unit had a very large deck, which we enjoyed. During our time on Bantayan, we also stayed at Anika Island Resort. We preferred the Coral Blue to Anika because of room size and design. Overall, it was a nice stay at Coral Blue, but for those who are heading to Bantayan for the first time, be aware that service standards on the island are generally not the highest. Hence, Coral Blue is a bit rough around the edges, but still very pleasant.

A truly unforgettable place

A beautiful place situated directly on the white sands of Bantayan Island, We opted for a beach front view which didn’t disappoint. The morning sunrise & sunsets where spectacular. The room was spacious, clean and authentic with great A/C. The staff are warm & friendly and went out there way to give us the full Filipino experience from tasting local seafood to organizing day trips & bike rental. We travelled the whole island and both agreed that the resort was the by far the best. We ate daily at the hotel and were never disappointed. Great portion size, delicious fresh ingredients and cheap cost. If you want to explore or simply to relax and forget the modern world this is a great, unforgettable place.

Amazing, peaceful place to relax & enjoy Bantayan

Beautiful place to relax! Common areas and room were all clean, new and beautiful. Within walking distance of town. Did not eat dinner here but drinks and breakfast were very good. White sand beach right in front (depending on tide) and you can walk/wade quite a ways in either direction. Only minor complaint is that A/C in room needs maintenance - air coming out was not cool.

I can't ask for more

They were strict about the maximum persons allowed in the room and it is understandable as they worry about the bamboo hut structure. Very friendly staff allowed us 5 to stay and the place was really large enough and comfortable enough for us all. We had to move to another resort nearby called Amihan - big mistake, that was the worse resort experience we had (aircon not working, rooms are dirty and the unfriendliest staff you can find). Anyway, we would have stayed longer at Coral Blue but they were fully booked. The have a large veranda fronting the beach with hammock and a dining table, I will stay here again next time I come to Bantayan (not Amihan Beach Cabanas- never!)
