( From Cagban Jetty Port, tell the tricycle driver to drop you off at 7/11 convenience store, Station 1. From the highway, walk to any alley towards the beach side. Look for a pathway between Pamana restaurant and Starbucks. Casa Santa Fe is just a minute walk from the beach, you won't miss it )

Review

Though at first, it was hard finding the place because it is in an alley, the location was perfect. Less than a minute walk from the beach.
No noise from the room although it was near the seaside pubs.
Our room ( Room 3) was not only comfortable and clean but spacious enough for 4 people. It had cable TV, A/C, fan, refrigerator, H/C shower and chairs
Guests can occupy the first and second floor while the owner and the caretaker lives at the third floor. If you have concerns and requests, all you need is go and see them and they would cater it right away.
The caretaker was very friendly. I was not feeling good one night so we went up to ask for hot water and she answered the door half asleep but with a smile on her face.
If you are in a tight budget, you buy seafood at the wet market and have the staffs prepare it for you, home-cooked way.
There is an area at the second floor that you can hang your wet clothes
Room make up and fresh towel are upon request. They do not usually go to your rooms unannounced giving you enough privacy.
Though the place needs a little renovation, we had a great stay at this place because of the price, location, staffs and the homey feeling it could give.
