Amihan Beach Cabanas

This is a really honest review. The location and the actual accommodation are beautiful. The beach cabana rooms feel damp due to the humidity which is semi expected with being so close to the beach and also in the phillipines. What is extremely dissappointing about the accomodation is the level of service. Considering this is the most expensive hotel on the island the staff are not attentive at all, they are more interested in talking amongst one of another than actually serving customers. They would have taken so much more money off us if they were attentive, ie would you like another drink. They also take a while to clean plates off tables and also glasses from next to the beach. It is a shame as the hotel itself is beautiful, if they had the level of service correct they would absolutley smash it. I am walking away with a slightly bitter taste in my mouth which is disappointing. I am not expecting 7* service but the basics are just not there.

Amihan Beach Cabanas is often described as a charming and peaceful retreat. With its emphasis on nature, comfort, and personalized service, it’s particularly well-suited for those seeking a relaxing and somewhat off-the-beaten-path escape on Bantayan Island. If you're looking for a tranquil, stylish, and welcoming place to stay while exploring the beauty of Bantayan Island Cebu, Amihan Beach Cabanas is a great option to consider.

We went there for some afternoon drinks at the beach. The atmosphere was so perfect. The staff welcomed us very warmly. The highlight of our day was the drinks. I got Cosmopolitan and my partner ordered Long Island iced tea. That was the best Cosmopolitan I ever had. Gil, the bartender, did an excellent job. Amihan will be our go-to beach bar because of Gil. Kudos.

After we stayed for 5 nights at Kota beach we decided to stay 2 more nights here in Bantayan Island to make our vacation super worth it and lengthy. Me and my sister chose the Amihan Cabanas Resort since it's marked as number 1 in tripadvisor among other resorts here. The first night was very good.. the cabana was comfy (aside from the mosquitoes part) and the place was aesthetically pleasing as well. We are the type of travelers that no longer party that much so we just stayed in the resort the whole time. Food was scrumptious and they have big servings. Now why would I give it only 1star? It's because of the service team. The 2nd night that we had dinner, there was a fly that landed into my cocktail. I asked the waiter or the bartender named Gil (a guest gave him a review here that's why I knew his name) to just replace my drink or if he couldn't do it, just remove it from the bill. He said that his supervisor would not allow the drink to be removed from the item because it's already been on the table. And he even told us that it's our responsibility to chase away the flies. Like what? Are you okay? You are showing us this attitude and we are paying customers. Do something about the pesky flies first before telling us it's our responsibility. We even politely asked you to remove the drink. It's okay for us to pay for the drink but his response and the attitude for handling the complaint is what irked me. It doesn't matter how spectacular the place is if the staffs are rude. It will just ruin the great experience you are having. 👎🏻

This is my favorite resort in Bantayan Island. It’s not very big so it has a cozy feel. The cabanas are great for privacy, yet they’re so close to the beach. The white sand beach was gorgeous! The food was excellent. The staff were not just friendly but also attentive and caring. My friend and I felt right at home. The location is also good if you just need to go for a walk to the market.
