    the only beachfront hotel in zamboanga ”

    I always love hotel staffs greeting me everytime I walkby the hallway or in the lobby. The oceanview . And the Jazzy Latin music they're playing gives me a chill vibe while enjoying watching the waves

    Though it's not as grand as a five star hotel. Lantaka hotel will surely give you the experience what Zamboanga city has to offer.

    helpful staff, large rooms, bathtub

    we enjoyed the stay, we had business to do in zamboanga city. we were late to comeback and exceeded our check out time. we requested to overstay and the hotel agreed and only changed us Agoda rates. we discovered you need to book early as the hotel removes the sea view rooms even if not booked. the restaurant is way too pricey and they charge 10% over the amount. I ordered filet mignon but got beef tenderloin. we suggest eat elsewhere not in hotel. I am American and I have not seen a bathtub in over three years, that was a treat for me and a new adventure for my wife.

    The scenic views of the islands and quiet peaceful evenings, the food very tasteful and the SUSHI is worth dying for, third , the staff from the manager to the front desk clerks are nice .

    My stay was outstanding, my first room was by the road side which was a little noisy, next day I was moved to an ocean view which was just outstanding. I come to Zamboanga every year to visit, I have stayed all the nice hotels and no other can compare to this one.

    Where foreigners stay”

    Location

    The hotel has become s bit agrd and not just the expensive rooms but also the cheaper ones would need some new touch (to say the least). Staff is ok-friendly and usually helpful, although done requests (e.g getting any towels into your room) might require one to address different people several times. Wifi in the lobby only. There's surely better hotels in town, but this is probably still the best choice dus cronies location. It is for sure a local institution.

    By the sea”

    The sea view, the location, the sexy women

    My stay was OK. The front desk workers like to sleep a lot. The hotel needs to renovate badly. It has an old odor about it. I never got any room housekeeping. I had to sleep under the same sheets and with same pillow cases for my entire stay. The view of the ocean was beautiful. The seaside bar was pleasant but the bartenders gawked at me a lot. The floors in my room were unswept. The bathroom was decorated in 60's style fixtures and design. It is a very quaint atmosphere but really is a step back in time. The restaurant was open some of the time but not for early breakfast. It was a quiet place and not many customers roaming the area. It was close to the city. My stay was OK but I would not describe it as exciting or welcoming. The room décor was very old and boring. I would tend to not recommend this as a fun hotel.

    It was ok...but i hope someday they will provide a bigger TV and good cable reception not like a 14inch tv. and provide a door hanger template so if the guest doesn't want to be disturbed they will knew, unlike your in the middle of sleeping because i came from the country which the time is delayed by 5hrs then suddenly they will knock for cleaning.

    A place in perfect location but quite rundown.”

    Location is perfect because it's by the sea. But this once a 4-5 star hotel before has also aged through time. Facilities in the room are hopeless. Air conditioning almost not working & very noisy. Bathroom is as expected from a 2-2.5 star hotel. Bed are not comfortable and the linens smells funny. This hotel needs a massive renovation to keep up. Their restaurant is fine, reasonably priced and clean.

    disapponting, over all experience.”

    The hotel is old, picture in the add is deceiving .THE hotel has to catch up with the present, the pool is clean but the cabanas around pool is moldy and needs renovation, security is awful , hotel has no security guard late in evening, you will find no security at night, and doors has a latch type, some suspicious looking characters launching their restaurant, and the restaurant management did not pay attention to these non customers hanging around, i noticed very suspicious groups hovering around our dinning table, reported about it to management/staff , but they are too busy attending to their business, disregard to safety of hotel guest. The hotel staff are very courteous and friendly. They even lend to guest of hotel their own personal router/tethering device as the hotel has very poor wifi connection." No wifi in the rooms".You will be lucky to have any successful connectivity in the hotel lobby or the restaurant. No concierge. no business office. You can see thick dust behind the headboard. Towels, you have to call , and they are overused "old", either with brownish spots or towels already tan colored, but they used to be a white towels for sure. The water from the shower is dribbling with rusty color, leave it to run for few minutes to make sure its free of rust. No ice machines or ice from any of the hotel corridors. You can call for delivery, and of course you will feel oblige to tips. I checked out very early and very fast.
