Bantayan Island, Sta. Fe Beach Club & Ogtong Cave Resort (Thread 2)

[vainmode]

sis pwede magwalk in sa Kota beach, ganun lang ginawa namin nung mga kaibigan ko nung pumunta kami dun. Kung babalik ako, dun pa din ako sa kota since very relaxing ang ambiance nila

[ennaer]

sis m_lim yay! Sa Anika din ako nag pareserve ng accomodation, ano pa feedback mo sis aside from what you've mentioned ^?

sis vainmode baka ganun na nga lakad lakad at tingin tingin na lang kami, malayo ba ang kota from anika?

TIA!

[m_lim]

^ok ang Anika sis. siya nga pinaka ok na resort dun. yung iba kasi masyadong native kaya mukang dugyot na.

ang Anika bago pa kaya malinis. punta kayo sa Virgin island sis para sulit biyahe niyo.

[ennaer]

Sige sis m_lim thanks sa info. 

[bwiset12]

alam nyo ba yung budyong beach resort mga sis? madami kasi akong nabasa na magagandang reviews doon. affordable pa ang rates okay lang ba mag bantayan kasama namin baby ko she's 1year and 9 months pa lang?

[Purple_Power]

Where in Bantayan Island does have the white sand that is very fine same as the station 1 of Boracay? yung parang pulbo na? If that is the case then what are the Inns, hotels that you can recommend? Especially if there is beach front?

Regarding the Transportations

Option A: Bus and Ferry

1. Uso na ba yung bus na may CR? if that is the case then anong terminal yun from Cebu City and what are the rates especially yung aircon?
2. Okay ba ang Ceres Bus o may mas worth pa lalo na in terms of aircon bus?
3. How many hours ang byahe going to Hagnaya Port?
4. If we are already in Hagnaya Port then what kind of ferry should we take that is worth? It can be with aircon, something that is surely safe?

Option B: Plane if possible

1. Is there an airport in Bantayan or in Sta. Fe? Even in San Remigio where Hagnaya Port is located?
2. What are the planes that we can take from Cebu City to Bantayan?
3. What are the rates? Is there any promo?
4. Is it safe to ride charter or private planes like Mid Sea Express airline? What are your experiences?
5. What are the schedules with this kind of plane?

[ennaer]

Just got back from Bantayan.
Korek ka sis m_lim mejo madumi ang beach, pero naenjoymaman namin ang Virgin Island.
We rented a motorcycle to roam around ok lang naman experience.
Parang mas ok ang beach sa tapat banda ng Tristan's but the rooms in Anika ok lang din

^naku sis ako pa naman nag aya kay bf magbantayan this nov, baka madisappoint siya kung hindi na pala maganda dahil sa mga basura

hi sis when kayo go sa bantayan? my bf and i will go sa nov 23. sang resort kayo?

[ennaer]

^sis, nakabalik na ako, sabi ng kaibigan ko, matindi daw ang hagupit ng bagyo sa bantayan ngayon
Not so sure, pero yan ang balita sakin.

[Purple_Power]

Kasama Bantayan Island sa tinamaan ng bagyo in fact it was even announced on TV.

[swtgrl_bee]

Oo nga kasama pala sila, at may patay pa Akala ko okay lang sila dun.

[shegothim]

yup kasama sila.. nasa north cebu ang bantayan eh. sa malapascua nga din grabe rin ang pinsala.

[gelatin23]

Been reading about Bantayan island. Nakakalungkot ang nangyari sa Visayas talaga.

I'm having second thoughts tuloy if we will push through sa Bantayan sa 23 kahit na fully paid na kami sa resort kasi baka makaistorbo pa kami sa renovations nila. Ayoko din naman maging insensitive sa mga tao dun na we are having fun amidst their troubles.

[bwiset12]

naku paano na kaya yan 11 days from now flight na namin to Cebu. Gusto pa naman namin mag beach sa bantayan.

[rocky]

^mukhang di kayo mag-eenjoy sis kasi ang laki ng damage ng bantayan & malapascua yong camotes mukhang ok naman

[gelatin23]

FYI lang sa mga may balak pumunta sa Bantayan, just spoke with Anika resort and they said that kaya nila mag-accomodate, in fact, madami daw guest na coming soon.

Hubby and I decided, whatever state Bantayan is in, we will push through, ngayon nila mas kailangan ang pagtangkilik natin.

[Raventravels]

^sis hindi ba nadamage yung resort nila?

[gelatin23]

^sis hindi ba nadamage yung resort nila?

sis, very minimal damage lang sila and are almost done with repairs. if you google their "gmanetwork anika island resort" there is actually an article that states that it is the ONLY resort that remained standing. they did inform me though via email that electricity via generator will only be available from evenings up to 3am which doesn't bother us but may be a concern for you. hubby and i will be there on the 23rd and will definitely update here on conditions i will see.

[Raventravels]

sis ano mas madali way na macontact ang anika ngayon? email or text and call?

[gelatin23]

sis ano mas madali way na macontact ang anika ngayon? email or text and call?

sis, nung nagtext ako dito 09998864465 sumagot agad sila (they actually called me), they answer my emails mga within 24-48 hours from time i sent it.

kelan ka punta? normal na daw both bus and ferry routes. i can't wait to be a voluntourist!
