Looking for Peace of Mind?... Bantayan Island


If you are looking for a quiet place and get out of a busy city, i recommend going to Bantayan Island. For those party people, these is not the right place for you. Maybe we haven't seen the busy life in Bantayan Island during the peak season but I am more than contented with the peace of mind that it gave me during our stay there. Hmmm... how to go there? From Cebu, you need to take a 4 hour bus drive and then a one-hour ferry.


First of where to stay, one is Kota beach, accommodation is good but food is expensive. Hmmm... Honestly, I'm not sure if that is the name of where we stayed. Sorry, bad memory.

Next, food (again) there is quite expensive especially if you're gonna eat in the resto's there but I strongly recommend Khel's Chicken Barbeque. It's a street food stand with all sorts of barbeque that you want but dont forget to ask if their crabs are available, you might want to try it. It only costs 10 pesos. Yep the one that I am holding is only 10 pesos.
....yumyum... highblood... that's 10 pieces for 10 pesos

Our stay in Bantayan was just merely to relax and have a peace of mind. No party. No gimmicks. No TVs. Our Nightlife during our stay was more of us buying our own "drinks" and staying in our rooms. Stores there close as early as 7:30 pm. Damn, i learned to appreciate Ginebra's Infinit.

3 days and 2 nights is not enough to discover such a beautiful place. I know there is more to do and discover. Maybe some other time I could give a better review and give a good line of things to do and look forward when going to Bantayan Islands. For you now I would rate it at 7.0 out of 10.0

Hi! Is it okay to use your picture with the crabs in the magazine I edit? Am editor of the Light Touch Magazine, with offices in Cainta, Rizal. If it's okay to use it I'll send you a copy of the magazine as soon as it's out. Thanks!
