“Excellent comfortable stay at Maykenn.”

Staff were extremely helpful, excellent breakfast, very comfortable beds and nice cold air conditioning. The daily rate for the scooter was excellent value for money. We loved our stay at Maykenn. Thankyou.

“Disappointing”

Nothing

“Excellent stay at a unique, boutique style resort. I highly recommend.”

The entire staff were very friendly, informative, and always smiling. The food was excellent and the view from our room was stunning.

Very friendly staff. The owner is very nice to chat with. The food is amazing. This resort have a private beach. It’s lovely with a cocktail looking at waves.

“Great stay - but pricey!”

Absolutely the best welcome ever with the owner (Mayette) and her staff providing an iced lemongrass drink. I was promptly checked into my garden room which was clean, functional, but a little on the small side. There are 8 garden rooms stacked 4 on top of 4, and 2 sea view rooms, one on top of the other (the top one being the prized accommodation due to the balcony and sea view). Mayette's business brain kicked in and she offered me the top one known as the 'honeymoon suite' which is slightly larger and has an amazing view out to the blue waters. This upgrade came in at a cool 2000PHP extra per night, but I bartered it down to 1880PHP (what the hell I'm on holiday). We decided to try the Island Hopping trip which departed from Maykenns own beach. This was facilitated by the staff at a cost of 5250PHP for us two which included a takeaway lunch. The boat was for us two exclusively. We also tried jet skiing which was great fun and managed to find a hire place a couple of hundred yards down the beach to the right. Cost was 2500PHP for half hour, I later learned that the price was way too expensive. The food, in particular the breakfast, was exceptional, and I'm a real fussy eater. Staff were amazing, in particular Jay the manager who took time to answer any questions and attend to our needs. P.S. Maykenn is named after the owners' names, Mayette and Kenneth (a Swedish gentleman who I never had the pleasure to meet)

“Tie me kangaroo down mate”

The hotel is clean, private and comfortable and the staff were friendly.. the neighborhood was friendly and it was easy to rent motorbikes and bicycles and organise a trike

“I got scammed”

This "hotel" is a rebuilt two-storey house in the worst part of the island. There are no tourists, hotels, restaurants, beaches, there are only houses of local residents with their own specifics. You need to drive 20 minutes to the nearest beach. On that side of the island there are only dumps, stench and mud. When I arrived, I was offered to wait "on the beach" while the room was ready. The beach is a 20 meter wide part of the coast cleared of debris. The water was dirty, garbage, algae, oil stains from fuel were floating. To the right and left were only boats in the water and trash on the shore. There were several people sitting on the "beach," and I also saw the horror on their faces.. I booked a room «beach front 1 king bed». The proposed room was a servants' room, with a second door leading to a large room "for the masters." This room is located under the stairs, on a common veranda, with a small window with a grill in the door. We were horrified by what we saw. The proposed room had 2 beds and almost no available space. We specified discrepancy between our order and the proposed room. The hostess is an unpleasant woman, tried to prove to me that a room with one King bed (which was ordered) is the same as with two beds. She refused to cancel the reservation. I reported this problem to the booking.com. I left (as agreed with the booking.com) and found another hotel on the beach and paid less than Maykenn Beach. I booked here and paid 450 euros for 5 days stay and did not live one minute. But Booking.com did not return anything at all and took the side of the hotel in the dispute (it is clear why). Reservations at this hotel are non-refundable. This explains everything. A person in their right mind will not stay here if there is an opportunity to return the payment. P. S. I see fake purchased reviews. But there can not like anything. Any $12 hostel on the other side of the island would be a better bet.

The ambience is good, it's very relaxing, the staff are really accommodating. The area is very well maintened. You can easily rent a bike directly in the hotel.

“Very enjoyable stay!”

Very nice & clean. Staff were really nice.

“A peaceful beachside retreat with exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere. Would come back without hesitation.”

The property is spotless, located right in front of the beach, and offers a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The property was spotless, with great attention to cleanliness, making the stay even more comfortable. This is my second time staying here, and I would come back without a doubt. If you want a perfect beach getaway, this is the place. Highly recommended!

Beachfront feels that is conducive to a clean and fresh nature. Food is also great and delicious. The tour packages are worth it. They provided me discounts since I am a solo traveller. The staff are very courteous. This is a resort that would provide you total relaxation.

The meal is perfect people are great and the view is beautiful

Very beautiful resort with a modern feel. We signed up for an island hopping tour and were brought to Hilantagaan Island, Lagoon and Virgin Island (3 locations). The room was clean, service and breakfast were excellent. Overall a great experience!

The staff were specular and very helping in organising activities that were not relates to the resort. The food was exceptional and great value for money. I couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Jay and all the staff were exceptional. They went far and beyond what was expected to make our stay great. Thank you once again to them all.

“Great place to stay”

We had our great and unforegattable stay in this resort, the staff was indeed very accomodating and friendly, easy to reach out we had everything we needs. The foods was indeed yes so good and fresh and very safe for my sensitive stomach unlike the foods in downtown. The place is very clean and very comfortable to stay with and we got the best room. I highly recommend this resort and like to go back here soon.

Maykenn was an amazing place for us to relax and unwind on Bantayan Island. The staff were absolutely incredible, Jay's knowledge and passion to give the best service was appreciated. May and the incredible ladies were non stop looking after us from the moment we woke, until bedtime. The breakfast was delicious and can highly recommend the pork. Singing and playing music with the team, and hanging out with the local kids on the beach were a highlight. The team could not have been any more helpful, you can book everything right on site. Just a short ride into town or out to other Beaches. Just incredible!!!
