Kota Beach, Bantayan Island

We were staying at budyong next door but kept coming here for halo halo every afternoon. The halo halo is okay, and the ingredients were different one day and different on another but it was a great way too cool off. We loved the ambience. Food takes a very long time to be served, even just the young coconut juice. We had breakfast here on our 2nd day. 5the food took 45min to an hour to be served. We ordered pancakes and the filipino breakfast. The banana pancakes and mango pancake were especially good. The filipino breakfast however was served cold. When we sent back our food to be heated, it took them another 30-45 min to get them back, but still it wasn’t hot enough. The eggs and tapa were warm at best and the rice was neither hot nor cold. The tapa was not at all what i expected it to look and taste - it was tapa-ish but not really tapa. I wished I ordered the pancakes instead. The resto staff did not seem very friendly and we had a hard time calling/ getting their attention and when we needed something we had to walk over to the counter. Overall this is an okay place to eat if you’re not picky or particular about having food served hot. The ambience is good. I would still eat here, but would be picky with what i order. #bestislandtraveltowns#culturalattractions#beaches
