Where to stay in Bantayan Island Cebu Philippines

[@JohnCapilitan-uk2rg]

I am from cebu city and i am a tourist van driver thank you sir for flexing our city 😘😘

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks. I did a number of vlogs on Bantayan Island such a nice Island.

[@marcusfenix55]

i was there 8 years ago. peaceful and beautiful island. i saw a sea snake in the shallow water.

[@FindingParadise]

That would of been a bit scary. I think they are the poisonous ones?

[@baovoyage3243]

We love Bantayan Island too 💛 It is shown in your videos how beautiful and breathtaking paradise it is. Wonderful!

[@FindingParadise]

Yeah it's pretty awesome I've done many videos on the island.

[@waynebrown424]

Thanks for the video. It was great. I've never been to Bantayan Island, Cebu. I've been to Philippines five times. This place is now on my hit list!

[@FindingParadise]

Im actually in Bantayan now. Im going to do some updates as i did that video years ago.

[@pawmay2508]

I love Bantayan Island too and It's nice to stay here for a vacation.The place is Awesome! 😀Yummy seafoods and affordable.😀

[@junickh]

Very nice review! Good job. I’ve been researching Bantayan. Planning on going in the near future. I feel that this review is complete and well done. Thank you.

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks. I was planning to go to Bantayan Island a couple of months ago to update this video (as I did it a number of years ago) obviously with the world now I wasn't able to do this. Hopefully I can do it later this year. Keep safe.

[@junickh]

Finding Paradise it would be interesting to see how much the prices have changed after 2 years. When I do go to Bantayan, I would be with my wife and two kids. Hopefully they don’t get restless with the travel.

[@maram.3356]

Went and stay there for 4 days in La Playa. Will go back again next year🌼❤️

[@FindingParadise]

I hope to get back there next year.

[@maram.3356]

Another great video Rob , lots of good info and video shots . I really like Bantayan , even though not loads to see and do there .Great place to relax, and cheap to hire a scooter to look around . Great beaches and not expensive to eat out at night. Hope to go back for a third visit soon .

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks, I love going there to get away from everything. I love the beaches. Have you ever been during Holy Week? It's the only time I didn't I didn't enjoy the place.

[@res2e483]

Hi Rob, do you think a few days after Holy Week would still be super busy?

[@emerysaulnier5502]

[@islandboy9580]

Hello there, very beautiful island, my fiance lives in CDO

[@FindingParadise]

It is. I was planning to go back in April before all this COVID19 stuff hit. I wanted to update the video as I did this over 3 years ago. Great place to take your fiance.

[@res2e483]

I love your review videos. Great work. Could you recommend any accommodation in Bantayan for between 6-12 people. Are there many family rooms or even home stays?

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks so much. I know there is a house to rent on the beach. On Facebook search villacastin's beach - mac's hideaway. I've not been inside so I'm not sure how good the place is. Cheers Rob

[@res2e483]

[@FindingParadise]

Yeah lovely beach at the front

[@gunterramp4437]

thanks for sharing your nice video. just asking are there many restaurant in Bantayan island?

[@FindingParadise]

In Santa Fe there is a nice selection as well as a lot of resorts have their own restaurants.

[@gunterramp4437]

thanks so much. your video is very informative. which island have more restaurant Bantayan or Malapascua? again thanks for the info.

[@FindingParadise]

I think both islands have plenty of choices to eat, I don't think you will have issues either island.

[@scottsullivan3362]

Yes plenty of nice restaurant

[@melvinisidro]

Nice video bro!

[@FindingParadise]

Tnx mate

[@gmarcnete6518]

Nice video! :) We will be going with my family next week in Bantayan. Do you have any suggestion that you can recommend to me the best and not quite expensive beach resort to stay there? Thanks :)

[@FindingParadise]

Tnx. Well I like being on the beach, so you tend to pay more for this. I like Kota Beach Resort. If you check my channel I've done many reviews on resorts in Bantayan. It will give you a better idea. Cheers Rob

[@shanghai1972]

Compliments, a very clear and exhaustive video about stay in Bantayan ! Unfortunately there are no Scuba Diver centers :-(

[@FindingParadise]

Yeah it's better to head over to Malapascua Island if you are looking to do that.

[@Labandero1988]

Nice one 👍🏼👍🏼

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks 😀

[@Pinoywit]

A big thank you for your list of favorite resorts. I've been trying to find a place to stay in for days now, but the staggering number of resorts to choose from is quite overwhelming. Now I know where to go. Total sidenote - My mom's family is actually from Bantayan, but I haven't been there in 25 years. I feel a little sad that although my family roots are there, I don't even know my way and you seem to know the place better (I'm feeling jealous) :D ! Your videos have inspired me to at least plan to visit more in the future.

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks, Bantayan Island is my favourite island in Cebu. I love heading up there. Hope you will get the chance to go back. New resorts are always popping up. With Boracay closed for a while more people may choose to travel to Bantayan. I've done more reviews of resorts in Bantayan in more details if you need extra info. Just search through my channel. Happy Travels! Cheers Rob

[@FlowerForYouBRUNO]

beautiful island

[@natashabanky9507]

Nice review. Thanks

[@FindingParadise]

Cheers

[@Filome333]

Thank you for the helpful video!!! Would you say it was worth it the long way to get there? Or the beaches closer to airport are as much beautiful. And is it ok to travel with suitcase, or backpack is needed? Thanks!

[@FindingParadise]

Well for me, yes. Everyone is different though. When you mean close to the airport are you meaning on Mactan? I've travelled with a suitcase many a time. Obviously it's it little bit awkward at times to travel with, but nothing too difficult.

[@junegidauan2716]

Yes ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ my beautiful birth place 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@FindingParadise]

I can't wait to get back there.....

[@ribomiguel9182]

Hi!new subscriber here Bro" My home town..Bantayan Island

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks mate, amazing place Bantayan is.

[@jodycarnable1344]

Hi thank you for this helpful info. For you, where is the best place in bantayan? Beachfont and wifi wise?

[@FindingParadise]

I think it's more down to personal choice, what I like might not be necessary what you like. There's also budget to take in consideration. For me I like Kota, Ogtong Cave, Anika and Hoyohoy. I like to be on the beach. You can check out my channel I go into more details on each resort. Maybe you can see if you like staying at one of those resorts in Bantayan. Generally most resorts have WiFi, some are just in public areas. Cheers Rob

[@themanthefamily248]

Nice information...😊ty...looks nice

[@FindingParadise]

It's a beautiful island in the Philippines.

[@butterflytrader1238]

No I don't think I would go in Holy Week to be honest . I went in January after Sinulog , Liked it so much , went back in July . Any idea how much the flight there from Cebu is Rob ?

[@FindingParadise]

Yeah Sinulog is so much fun. I'm not sure about prices I just check when I travel. I just fly with Cathay because I love making a stopover in Hong Kong for a few days.

[@michaelralphcruzmira1643]

Wow

[@Tiger_Pawzzzzz]

Hey rob is 5 days enough for Bantayan, Oslob and Malapascua?

[@FindingParadise]

For each? Or for the total 5 days?

[@Tiger_Pawzzzzz]

We are doing 3 days in boracay, 5 days in Cebu and 3 days in Siargao.

[@FindingParadise]

I think it will be too rushed to do all 3 in 5 days

[@i-will-trigger-you]

5 days ain't enough for Bantayan, Oslob and Malapascua, you won't enjoy when you are always on rush. Maybe enough if you'll sacrifice 1 place to go

[@Tiger_Pawzzzzz]

Yes, Sir. We have decided to just go Bantayan and Malapascua. Thank you Sir.

Can you please let me know which beach resort is mostly better for wheelchair user for room ? No stairs or steps please

Message this resort. facebook.com/victoryseasidehome/ they used to have wheelchair friendly rooms when it was called st Bernard's. It's new owner now. They had done some renovations so I can't conform that anymore.

Yes, if you want more things to do. I have done some videos on Bohol in my channel to give some ideas.

Thanks, will do.

[@craigk2644]

Dude, I really enjoyed your video. Its detailed for the foreigner. Am looking for another place to stay due to boracay's woes. Frankly put bantayan's beaches are far better than boracay, from your video.

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks. The sands are not as fine as Boracay. When the weather is good it looks amazing. It's less developed than Boracay and more laid back and that's what I love about Bantayan Island.

[@craigk2644]

Can u tell if the main town of bantayan has a supermarket ? i cant seem to find anything on youtube.

[@FindingParadise]

In Santa Fe there are some small stores. In Bantayan town, I didn't really look around or need a supermarket so I can't say for sure, but there would definitely be small stores.

[@FindingParadise]

If you're staying at a resort, send them an email they'll be able to tell you more

[@craigk2644]

I saw your vid of the blue ice bar. Good place to relax and dine. Thank you. I'm going to rent an apartment. I'll have to find a few sari sari stores and raid their chocolate supply aha.

Make sure you bring a mosquito net.

[@FindingParadise]

In the wetter months for sure. In the dry months it's not a problem.

[@gartjone1846]

Its pronounced bantayan as in eye not ay . So its bant"eye'an island . Listen to locals talking not foreigners. 😉👍

[@FindingParadise]

It's the way Aussies pronounce the letter A. Everything with an A sounds like an ay. Very slang! ;)

[@martinpowell5769]

Very sub standard accommodation, facilities in all rooms youve shown look very very poor. Okay location on alot of these is very good, with the beach on your doorstep but i would say all these are backpacker standard. When compared to the standard of thai beach location hotels, these don't come close and this has certainly put me off visiting

[@FindingParadise]

Nothing luxurious. I wouldn't say they are poor though. Not familiar you are with the Philippines, but maybe look at Bohol which is near Cebu. They have some nice beaches and more upmarket resorts.

[@markledesma3251]
