Sta. Fe Bantayan Cebu Beach
Our first stay in Sta. Fe Bantayan was spent at Budyong Beach Resort. Three years after, and a toddler now in tow, we need to look for a resort with better amenities like hot and cold shower (my son's used to having his hot bath) and better yet, a resort with WIFI access since I have to work online in between vacation.
After a thorough research, I decided to choose Marlin's Beach Resort due to its commendable reviews in most websites. We paid our deposit and literally counted the days til we get to Cebu.
This time around, we traveled in a very large pack (11 pax all in all including kids) that we had to rent the van we found at the North Bus Terminal. The rental costs us Php2880 (one way) to Hagnaya Port.
From Hagnaya Port, we boarded the ferry boat to take us to Sta. Fe Bantayan. Upon reaching, Sta. Fe Bantayan Port, the resort's van was waiting for us at the parking lot. It was to my great relief that their shuttle service is new large van and it was a very comfortable ride going to the resort considering we had kids with us.
The staff are very courteous and very friendly. I love how they greet each and very guests with sincere smiles and welcomes.
The rooms were very clean and spacious and I love the balcony with a view to the beach. Unfortunately, their WIFI doesn't work at any area of the resort. It was quite disappointing but good thing my brother and I brought Smartbro broadband plug-ins with us.
The food in this resort can be a bit pricey most especially when you're traveling with a large group of people. One can always choose to take a walk to the nearest market or restos to have your lunch or dinner which is around 10-20 meters away from the resort.
The hot and cold shower in our room refused to work by the evening and wasn't fixed until we left although we already reported it. My son has to take his bath in the other room (we got two rooms).
All these disappointments didn't hinder us to enjoy the rest of the days. The beach was too lovely and considering it was summer, it wasn't crowded at all. I could honestly say I enjoyed my stay in Sta. Fe Bantayan than in Boracay.
If you enjoy nightlife too much, there's not much to see in this place compared in Boracay. This is a place where serenity and pure bliss is evident.
This is truly one of the places I wouldn't hesitate to revisit in heartbeat.
