Bantayan Island - What a Beauty

If there's one thing Bantayan Island is famous for, it's white-sand beaches. I really loved the relaxing ambiance in the island.


I also liked that the restaurants are walking distance from each other and there's plenty of choices, so if you want to eat your heart out or have a little drink after a day of touring, you can do so.


Overall, this is a great place to visit in Cebu especially if you want to distress and unwind. It's a bit far from Cebu City l, but once you're here you can choose to pamper yourself with a beachfront cottage, eat fresh seafood (unlimited scallops) and enjoy drinks at night.


 

The Ruins is an unfinished building filled with vandals.

This is a popular instagram-spot in Bantayan Island. There is also a cliff-jumping spot here.

 
A large mangrove sanctuary, ideal for nature lovers. You can walk across a bamboo path to explore the huge area. This is also where you can find Camp Sawi signage, an obligatory photo location in Bantayan Island. There is also Camp Wagi, for those who like unnecessary drama. The best time to visit here is during high tide. Entrance fee is P50 per person.


There are a lot of Restaurants in Sta. Fe town proper which offer local and international dishes including American, Thai, Japanese, Korean. A lot of these are walking distance are walking distance from each other, so you can easily choose where to eat. A popular food place is MJ Square, a one-stop foodpark where you can find various type of restaurants and bars. Here you can find Panyang Restaurant, a local favorite which offers buffet(regular buffet P150(2.75 USD) per person, seafood buffet P299(5.48 USD) per person). We haven't tried it yet, but it gets mixed views- so basically what we understand is that it's sulit, but again you get what you pay for.


Most people visit Bantayan Island for a day tour, but I recommend at least 2-3 days or longer so you can enjoy it better. I also suggest leaving Cebu City as early as possible since the island is a few hours away. If you're a regular tourist like me, I recommend getting a tricycle tour instead as it's more comfortable and there is a little difference in price. Also, you'll be helping the local drivers in the island It's easy to find an accommodation in Bantayan Island as there are numerous lodging and beach resorts here. There are budget accommodations that start at P500-600(9.17 - 11.01 USD) and mid-range at P1000(18.34 USD) above.
