Out of expectation”

There were no large and fancy hotel or resorts in Bantayan Island as the Island was quite remote and not yet highly developed as compared with Cebu or Manila. However, we were surprised by this little beautiful island as well as Beach Placid Resort. Very friendly staff and yummy food. We had all dinners at Beach Placid throughout our trip. The only minus thing was water leakage at the water tab but still acceptable to us. Also little ants around the door but we swept them out from the room. Staff was very helpful and attentive where they arranged shuttle service for us from Cebu Airport to Hagnaya Port with a reasonable price. I will certainly stay at Beach Placid again if I go to Bantayan Island.

White Sand everywhere. A Paradise Maybe.”

We stayed here as a group of 10 this time round. Our previous stay here was the day after Typhoon Yolanda struck the Philippines. We witnessed the true devastation on this resort in November 2013, but we can now be happy in seeing for ourselves that Beach Placid has been totally revamped. We originally booked a 'Nipa' style Hut Beachfront, but we decided that the presence of various insects was a bit too much natural for us as Newlyweds this time. The staff were helpful and gave us a large double slightly further inland from the beach and we were OK with that. All of the others in our group kept coming round to our door in an attempt to feel the lovely cool air coming from our Air Con Unit. It was so nice ! We managed to hire the resort van to take us for a whistle-stop tour of the island and to see the shops. We went into Bantayan proper, visited Madridejos, and took the kids to the Bantayan Nature Resort for a milkshake. The hire was 2000 pesos (£14) all-in. Bantayan Island has always been a favorite of mine, and I must admit that I have always had a soft spot for Beach Placid. Clean white beach, sun loungers and tables supplied. Prices good. No real complaints at all. Very good. Its a 4.3 out of 5 for me.

The epitome of peaceful. ”

The Beach Placid resort was perfect. It was my first time traveling to the Philippines, more specifically Bantayan Island and the resort was way better than I imagined it to be for that bargain of a price! It is a quaint resort with direct access to the beach that offers little bungalows with air conditioning. The staff is superb and on call 24/7, there is also a security guard. The restaurant provides a diverse menu offering both Philippino and western selections. I have never met hotel staff as accommodating as the staff here and I will definitely stay here again!

Relaxing”

Bantayan Island is located 4-5 hours away from the airport, so if you're planning to stay at any resort in Bantayan Island prepare yourself from a long trip. Beach Placid was located 3-5 minutes away from the port. We stayed at cottage 8 of Beach Placid Resort which was roomy and clean, downside there was no running hot water for their shower. The beach itself was perfect; fine white sand and clear blue water. Food in their restaurant was superb but does not have much variety. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Wifi connection was fast but only available in the reception area.

Best in Santa Fe”

I have stayed at Beach Placid before, several years ago. The island has changed a lot since then, but I was really happy to be back there. I met the owner, Jo-an, eight years ago whilst staying there and she is still as kind and helpful today as she was back then. We were unlucky that we arrived the night of a fairly big storm so the water took a couple of days to clear up, during which time we visited other beaches around the island just to see if they had been affected the same way. Paradise Beach was nice for a day of swimming but asides from that we really did have the best swimming spot on the island and as for a place to stay, we really didn't see anywhere else that offered us a better option. We stayed at Beach Placid for a week and enjoyed breakfast on the beach every day and lazy days lounging around or walking around nearby Santa Fe town. Thanks, Bantayan, for another wonderful week. We might see you again sometime!

Quiet beachfront and close to town”

My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary at Beach Placid Resort. We chose this hotel primarily because of the price and location (beachfront and convenient to town and ferry port.) We especially loved waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, which was just a few steps away from our room. Pros: room price was very affordable, beachfront property and convenient to town and ferry port, beachfront property, white sandy beach, attentive and friendly staff, good menu selection, motorbike rental on the premises, free shuttle to and from ferry port Cons: native room was a bit tight for 2 people, bed was uncomfortable (it was just a soft foam mattress), pillows were stiff and big, lights in our room were too dim, weak shower water pressure, spotty wifi connection and only available in the lobby/restaurant area Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Beach Placid Resort. If we are to ever return to Bantayan Island, I would consider staying there again, but probably choose a non-native beachfront aircon room (they looked a bit bigger from the outside.)

Beautiful spot on the beach!”

My wife and I stayed at Beach Placid Resort for two evenings recently. The staff were great, similar to all of the locals we met on Bantayan Island. The beach is great and they do a good job to rake the beach daily. Since it's quite undeveloped certain sections of the beach have washed up garbage and nobody has cleaned it. The hotel room was basic, but the hotel is conveniently located near the ferry warf, so you can just walk down the beach to access this hotel.

Sleeping under the stars ”

Our stay at the Beach Placid Resort was excellent. We booked two beachfront bungalows (and you should book them too, they cost only few Euros more than the other ones!) and we just asked for some mattresses and we slept 5 nights in front of our bungalows, directly under the stars. A security guide will stay the whole night next to you to watch that nothing happens. But, nothing will happen. Everybody is friendly and nice here. The rooms are cute: pink and blue-sky rooms. They're not big and the bathroom could be more clean but hey, you dont need anything on Bantayan. everything was sufficient and excellt. The service, especially Rolin and Marilyn were more than excellent, helpfull and smiling all the time! Thank you so much! They saw every wish in our eyes before we even talked about it! We would come back anytime! Breakfast is good. Drinks are perfect. The only advice: You could clean the shower a bit more because theres really not much water to take a shower. We just put off the head of the tube and we had enough water, so its just the matter about cleaning it a bit more... All the rest was perfect!

I Wish I stayed Longer ”

We did not file enough leaves to linger in Bantayan Island. However, even with the short time that I was here, I felt relaxed. Beach Placid is very...hmmm..more of TRANQUIL really. It was very relaxing. The staff were all friendly. Greeting you and everything. They were all too happy to serve. I just wish they had a better restaurant and bar - so i won't have to go elsewhere. I loved it there. If I were to go back to Bantayan, this would still be one of the top choices. Thanks, Agoda for hooking me up!

beach huts on the beach”

We had a great time at the Beach Placid Resort. The staff is amazing (seriously everyone remembers your name), the rooms are fun, and the location is insane. The only downside is the bed is a little small and the pillows are really big, which can be a little uncomfortable. But truthfully, how can you complain about having a bed and pillow! Anyways, if you want to go to a place where there are no worries or cares, the Beach Placid Resort is it.

Very accommodating and pleasant staff”

Right when we arrived at the Sta. Fe port a shuttle for Beach Placid were there to pick us up to be brought to the hotel. And that's when we met Kuya Toto a porter in Sta. Fe he hooked us up on the best deals in exploring the island and showed us genuine Bantayan hospitality. You may contact him in this number: Kuya Toto - (0998) 344 1327. He's one of the nicest people we have ever met :)

Great location, friendly staff”

this hotel is located right on the beach on the east side of bantayan island. it's a beautiful location and the staff were very, very friendly. the restaurant was the best on the beach during low season (some places weren't open, so we don't know how it rated compared to them). we stayed in the beachfront hut and then one of the triplex rooms. both were very nice, but having a refrigerator in the triplex room was a selling point for us for a small amount more. going into town was a short tricycle ride or walk. there are a few nice restaurants in town that should be tried so it's worth the walk/ride in. all of the people on this island are extremely friendly and we felt very secure at all times. we enjoyed our stay here very much.

budget-friendly Bantayan resort, location was great”

We checked-in at around 3pm. I asked via Agoda if they have a free shuttle pick up from sta fe port, but they didn't respond and we ended up getting pedicab ride (although, it's fine actually) Very near the port, also near downtown - about 5mins trip via motorbike that we rented for 24hrs. Food was great, we loved Paella that was served (P300 something price was just fine), but other food on the menu were a bit pricey (P250 for beef in a small bowl). Beach Placid Resort is well-maintained, very clean beachfront area.

Value for money”

We were in the island not to visit the tourist spots but just to stay to relax and be away from city life. Beach Placid is a perfect place for us. Staffs were very friendly, polite and professional. We occupied one of the basic cottages designed for 4 pax. It was big enough with a mini walk-in closet. No TV, no wifi...which makes our stay even more perfect. Resto is clean, serves good dishes at a reasonable price. The free transport back to the port made us feel like we were a valued guests and well taken cared of. An absolute value for money! Kudos! Til next time 😘🤝

Great Place, Great Service”

beach placid was a very beautiful place and the staff is polite and seemed to be trained well. they were always ready to serve - these make bantayan island even more beautiful.

Exactly what I would have wanted. So relaxing and a very pleasant stay.”

My experience with both Beach placid and Agoda was nothing less than top notch. With a 3 day delay for my arrival I expected to loose my reservation. The staff at beach Placid and Agoda both worked together to adjust my arrival time and allow me to move my time back the three days so I was able to enjoy the whole time there. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. The food was great. My wife and I both had an excellent vacation thanks to all the support. I am already planning another trip back there and a longer stay.

Enjoyable 4days 3nights stay”

Love and Serenity”

We love our stay at the Beach Placid Resort. Staffs were very attentive and helpful during our entire stay. The resort is very relaxing. Perfect place for sweet couples like us. Nature-friendly. Quiet surroundings. I enjoyed the food especially Danggit. Our whole stay was worth it. We will definitely recommend this place not just for couples but for the entire family and group of friends. We will visit this place again!
