This is a no frills resort. If you're looking to get of the beaten pay this the place . We loved it walking distance on the beach to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island , not white beach, much nicer. Restaurant has a limited selection but some tasty local foods . We rented a motorcycle for 4days best thing ever as we saw the island at our own pace. Support staff fantastic and liokes after us . Very rustic rooms gret experience.

I reserved a cabin for 3 nights, but was unable to contact them by phone or text, and they did not return emails, so rather than risk a land and sea journey I skipped the entire trip. How can one run a hotel and not have a phone or answer email? Don't waste your time on this place.

Rude Girl Receptionist Ruined Our Stay
The experience was overall good but there are a few things we think the resort could improve on: - The girl at the front desk when we checked in was very rude. We asked for help in getting assistance for booking our return journey to Batangas and she responded in a not so nice way. We understand that the boats are full the next day due to it being a public holiday but we have at least expected some courtesy and a bit of advise instead of just pointing us to the list of schedule on their wall. The same girl also advised us that the pasta we have ordered is good for one person only when in fact it isn't. Also, she was frowning the whole time. Maybe she isn't used to serving her fellow Filipinos, I don't know. The other girl who was serving us at the restaurant, in contrast, was very courteous and have always checked if we have water on our glasses and even gave us free piece of garlic bread when we asked. - It's hard to close the door of our room. - In the heat of the summer, sometimes even the fans are not able to keep us cool, though we have acknowledged this and this is not at all the fault of the resort. - A lot of the times the benches at the beach are dirty and no one was giving priority to guests (locals sit there all the time). - The advice given to us regarding island hopping by the reception (the rude girl gave the advise) is different from the one listed on the information book inside the room. The rude girl basically just told us to look for our own boatman.
Thank you Virgilio for bringing this matter to our attention.

Best service in all of Philippines
Was such a nice little hotel, with bamboo made bungalows only 15 meters from the beach. The staff and owner of the hotel were such great people who made us food that wasn't on the menu they just went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and having a good time. A special thanks to Briza, Jam, Gabby and Christian for making my stay one of the best I've ever had.

Friendly, just off the beach, great food
As a woman travelling on own this was the perfect place. The rooms are simple but really nice as all natural materials and all have a balcony. The area around the huts is great too, with trees and a hammock.The staff are so friendly and informal. Fabio, his mum, Laura and Queenie make you feel part of the family. It has a lovely bar area where you can hang out. I went full board and that was a treat as the food is really lovely (if a tad expensive in terms of Phillippine prices). The beach there is nice and literally a few steps away. There are fishing boats and an indigenous village nearby so lots of children playing. There is a pristine beautiful beach just a little walk away. For my taste, by far the nicest place I saw. Thank you guys

Horrible!
Horrible, we booked for 3 nights and left after 1 night!!! No windows, only screens, no curtains so no privacy at all. The owner dogs barks all night! Almost nothing on the menu was available... I don't understand all these 4 stars, it's over rated!It's the worst place you can go to in that area.

OVER RATED PLACE, don't go there!
This "eco-lodge" is for "backpackers" and even then, it's way too expensive for what you get!Dogs are barking in the yard all night, you only have "screens", no windows, so no privacy at all. OVER RATED PLACE!

pleasant stay
located nicely, close to the sea actually I could see the water from our deck. choices of eateries which I like. but dogs barking very very early in the morning as well as cocks, some how locals walk around our unit like part of their street from very early in the morning and talking quite loud so more than enough noises are around which was a bit shame.

Amami Beach Review
The resort was great. Great location, right on the beach, and very clean. The only issue we had the whole weekend was that the power on the island went out the first night and the room (no AC just fans) was very hot. Understand that they couldn't have done anything to prevent this besides buying a backup generator. The staff were very friendly and nice as well as the other guests. If you are looking for a simplistic quiet getaway this is the place for you. We loved our stay and will more than likely becoming back in the future. Fabio is a gentleman and very nice. He was more than accomodating to all of our needs. The staff helped arrange activities whenever we wanted them. Overall it was an incredible vacation that we are so happy we took.

Great experience for the family
The resort itself is very basic. Don't expect to pay little and get a lot of expensive bonuses. It has basic amenities such as private toilet, hot shower, nice big comfy bed. If you're ok with that this is the place for you. But you don't really stay at Amami because of the resort but because of the staff and fellow travelers. Share a story of two with Fabio and his mom. Share a story or two with Massimo the chef. You'll enjoy it. You'll be treated like family and it makes you feel more at home. The food is excellent and has large servings and the resort is right next to the beach with excellent swimming opportunities.

Hotel der Grausamkeiten
Ich habe 4 Nächte gebucht, kein netter Empfang von der Managerin und des Personals. Das Zimmer wurde nicht sauber gemacht. Der Müll lag 1 Tag auf der Terasse. Die Handtücher und die Bettwäsche nicht getauscht. Darauf habe ich sie gefragt und bekam zu hören das die Kollegin die Handtücher vergessen hat. Der Strand und die Strand liegen im grausamen Zustand. Entfernung zum Whitebeach nur durch trycle erreichbar als Tourist wird man auf den Philippinen abgezockt. Das Essen am White beach um das doppelte günstiger als im amami Resort. WiFi Passwort nach Anfrage nicht bekommen angeblich aus Sicherheitsgründen. Wieso fragte ich? Antwort wegen den einheimischen Nachbarn. Also wird mir unterstellt das Passwort weiterzugeben. Hunde den ganzen und der Nacht am Bellen. Bei Checkout kein Helfen beim Gepäck und kein verabschieden. So was habe ich noch nie erlebt. Viel zu teuer Never Never again !!!

Stay here for do nothing
This place is difficult to tell. It must be Heaven for almost tourist who want to hide from hustle city. But for some people who wants complete hotel will be bad holiday here. The first night, we got no good room with no hot shower. Because this is small hotel and full booked with peak period. Just felt unlucky. From second day, we could move to other good room. No TV, No aircon, No phone....it made us relax enough. Sometime we felt even music at Restaurant also loudness..... Just want to hear sound from nature. Staff are so friendly and helpful even we don't speak much English. Never too much care, but if need something help, they were there. They must be understood about us. We need rest only. Only 1 thing we felt not suite for us was breakfast time. I woke up 6 am every morning, but restaurant opened almost 8 am...... No pot in the room,we had to wait someone come to turn on the water server there. Finally I turned on it by myself. Breakfast is OK, but they have minimum choice for lunch and dinner. And for local meal lover, should go to other restaurant. But!!!!! It great restaurant for Italian lover! You shoul try to have pasta. Wifi condition was awful while we were staying, We got stress with it. It also just felt unlucky. Totally we highly recommend this hotel to tourist who is understanding Eco hotel.

Suuuuuuper freundlich, ein ORIGINAL
Beste Unterkunft für Backpacker. Leider ohne Klima, aber gut. Service "etwas" langsam, das wird aber alles durch den Charme weggemacht. Sehr nette Gastgeber, immer Tips parat!!! Vor allem Fabio und Natalie. Vielen Dank nochmal an euch! Und die Augen von der kleinen Francesca sind einfach zum dahinschmelzen :)
