The view from our room
We made Bantayan from Malapascua Island in around 4 hours by boat+bus+ferry, 400 PhP / each although ferry ticket cost 170 pesos, as seniors we paid 120 instead, but only when we were leaving the island. There is also 20% discount on every transport if you are senior over 60.

A very beautiful island and very sincere people. We stayed at Marlyns Beach Resort which may be the best for budget, 1200 PhP including breakfast for two. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

The islands economy best for chickens 1,400,000 and produces 1 million eggs/ day. Tourism has just started and in the first decade I think will hit the peak.

We visited Virgin Island 1 hour sail by the resort’s boat with a German family. We had bought our fish, vegetables and fruits before we sail and had a delicious lunch on the island. We snorkelled for an hour, but the corals were not so amazing.

With the same German family we went to Bantayan City which may be 11 km from our resort in Santa Fe. And the same day we visited Natural Park Resort, 9 km on the opposite direction to Bantayan City.

Our resort, Marlin
Nothing interesting actually and the road is terrible.

The food and the night life was very good and we enjoyed dinners usually at Potueges , Blue Ice, Native Bars & Restaurants.

Everyday before breakfast we had long walks on the sands to Kota Beach .

We return back to Cebu City by the German family and choose the same hotel.

Love to all.
