Settle down in Bantayan Island
by Gerry
(Hamburg, Germany)
I arrived in Cebu City and it was very crowded.
I was in the Crown Regency what is in the center of the city, but I wanted to see the nature as well.
In Mactan Island there are only expensive hotel beaches, so I found a package tour of my personal travel guide of my choice going to Bantayan Island.
The flight from Cebu is only 20 minutes and cost the same as a taxi but the taxi and ferry would need 3.5 - 4 hours. We booked a romantic beach resort called "White-Beach-Bungalows.com" It was only 1,5 km from the airport (only small machines)in a small village called Marikaban (a suburb from Santa Fe) They have a shuttle service to all restaurants or they served us the meals on the terrace.
I booked there the single package for 2 weeks but in the end I stayed there 4 weeks in the DeLuxe Apartment. My personal travel guide and me get to know better and we decided now to live there on Bantayan Island.
So I found my destiny. Its pure nature but only 20 minutes from Cebu City, where you can go shopping and have your civilization.
