We appreciate the thoroughness but compact and not boring presentation. It is informative and therefore helpful.
Thanks. I try to put a lot of work into them so people find it useful.
Thank you for this video. I love the honeymoon suite, the outside bathroom too.
No worries. Hope u enjoyed 🙂 should be nice weather there?
Excellent video Rob!
Thanks, I put a lot of work into it
Wow. It’s a paradise. Thanks for sharing this very informative video.
No worries it's a beautiful spot in the Philippines ❤️
This is very helpful. Thank you❣️
Cheers. Have fun in Bantayan 🏝
👏 amazing review rob. Thank you, i really appreciate your efforts in creating mazing videos. Its very helpful. My go to channel whenever i want to travel. 😎
Cheers, appreciate it. I'm working on some stuff on Boracay but my laptop is broken and I need to fix it
Well presented reviews. Cheers :)
Thanks. I put a lot of work in my videos so they can be helpful.
Again, an amazingly detailed review with loads of useful information.
It deserves 158,000 views not 15,800 but it'll receive more every months as it'll remain a useful resource for at least the next couple of years. Extremely well done, Rob Brand.
We have to love how Rob doesn't just give us the schmaltzy presentation of so many other RUclipsrs who pretend everything is first class and wonderful. Instead, Rob qualifies his reviews. If a breakfast is 'average' or a room 'rustic' (a code word for 'not so good', 'dated' or 'very basic lacking mod cons or even expected facilities') Rob will tell us without fear or favour.
Thanks Edmund. The video doing well! Bantayan is not as big tourist destination as some other places. Maybe with the runway extention which will allow flights direct from Manila things will change.
@@FindingParadise Your substantive videos help make prospective travellers - Filipinos and others - aware there's more to Philippines than Boracay. A gradual process.
Lovely information Thank you xxx
No worries, glad it helped.
Rob they must be thinking off putting a statue off you in the main square the great advertising you give this wonferful place, next year when it hopefully opens back up for international tourism ill ne sinning myself there, keep up the good work m8👍
Let's all hope things are back to (some) normality here. We all need a slice of paradise like this.
Thanks for making this video. Planning to go to Bantayan Island next time I visit the Phlippines. Your video gave me the opportunity to scout the places to stay before booking for accomodations.
Cheers, Bantayan is my fav island in Cebu. Well worth a visit. Hope you find the perfect place to stay. Enjoy paradise when you go!
This is sooo detailed and helpful! Thank you so much for this! Now we have an idea which resort we'll be staying @Bantayan, Cebu ❤️
You're welcome! I've done some other vids in Bantayan on things to see and do and also other accommodation options. These were my fav places to stay. I spent around 3 months there so I was able to go into more details. Have fun in Bantayan.
@@FindingParadise Yep! Already watched all of your videos regarding Bantayan. Thank you so much for the details! ❤️ Nice content!
I stayed at Amihan for three nights. Loved it so much. So peaceful and felt so secluded even though it was just a short walk to the town.
Yeah it's an awesome place to stay. I hope I can get back there one day soon.
thank you for this video very informative.. 👍👍👍👍
No worries. Glad it helped. Hope you enjoy Bantayan Island:) It's my fav island in Cebu. If you need ideas on what to to do I did a 3 part series of vlogs starting here ruclips.net/video/KuKCe7x18UY/видео.html
We stayed at kota beach resort based on your recconmendation it was awesome ty Rob.
No worries, going back again I still love the place :)
Thanx! Good one! Hoping for a trip july 2022. I think as a family (2 kids 14, 17) it will be a bit harder to find family rooms but Jellys had at good prices :) But Amihan was the one I liked the most.
Cheers. Hopefully things will be better then.
great work mate, just what I was looking for. I had planned to go up there and do the research as what you did...cheers buddy- you saved me a lot of time and $$$ :-) -
Cheers mate. I did a couple of other vids on the other accommodation options they didn't make it on this one. Hope you enjoy Bantayan :)
I did some other videos on cheaper options. These were just the best of the lot.
top 3 is added to my list!
Haha, all 10 are pretty good including the other highly recommended ones :)
Good job mate
Cheers mate
Thank you for such a great tour of the island. It is very informative and hopefully by 2023 we can visit the Philippines.
Thanks, they need international tourists back!
@@FindingParadise yes very true. Here in Europe we are using Greenpass meaning if you are vaccinated you can get this and we are back travelling around europe without such strict protocol that Philippines is doing. And the liquor ban, what is that all about? Only in the Philippines. Based on your reviews we will try to find our place to stay😉so far, Bantayan is awesome!😊
I think they will implement that as well here. The thought behind the liquor ban is that it stops socialising or trys to reduce it, whether that works I don't know. Thanks, glad you found it helpful. I'm working on the other resorts/hotels that didn't make the top list. Keep safe.
@@FindingParadise thank you, and you keep safe aswell. Waiting for more awesome vlogs😉
I hope to see you in Bantayan! 😊
Maybe one day!
Went there last 2018 in Kota. It is superb.
Yeah it's a nice place, such a beautiful spot to stay with those amazing views ❤
Im new subcribers happy to hear you sir you been there our place Bantayan island all nice beach resorts..im from bantayan island but now cant go there bcz im here in hongkong working. I really miss my place Bantayan island
Thanks. It's an awesome place to visit!
Great videos really appreciate all the work u put into this. I really like that you show menus and hotel prices, however it is too quick instead of a 1 second pause maybe a 3 second pause would be easier to screen shot or pause. Thanks so much for the details
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. Cheers.
@@FindingParadise and I appreciate your reviews we are staying at jellys haven first week of april got 3 rooms for the family. Who knows where we would have went without your videos!
@@chasetopsecret2018 Great. Their front rooms are really nice. Very colorful beachfront! Hope you enjoy. I did some vlogs on what to see and do there if you need ideas! Have fun in paradise 🏖
that is best island at cebu island,bantayan island❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
I agree!
Will visit the island again later this year. Booked a room in Amihan. 😁
Hope I could get back there later, miss it. Have an awesome stay there in paradise :) ⛱
@@FindingParadise you'll be back there for sure. My first time there was last October of 2019. Stayed in Anika. 😊
@@FindingParadise I'll be visiting on November.
My fiancee and I stayed at Hoyohoy Villas on our first visit to Bantayan Island and we enjoyed our stay there. This past April we stayed in a beach house near Santa Fe Beach Club, Bantayan Island is a nice place to visit and fortunately for us a nearby attraction as my fiancee lives in northern Cebu Island.
Did you book that beach house on Airbnb?
I found it on Agoda, Micky Santoro beach front house
They (Micky Santoro) have a few places in Santa Fe. I haven't been to their beach front property yet. Cheers
Awesome Review Rob! Which resort would you say is the most luxurious one (Up Market)?
Well there's nothing 5 star. But casita room an Amihan resort is nice. A balcony overlooking the ocean. They were building a jacuzzi when I was there, so you may want to check with resort if it's completed yet. You can see the room and view in the video. Cheers.
Great review Rob...It was your review of Bantayan Island from a few years ago, that helped me pick Kota Beach Resort. We got a beachfront cabin, and absolutely loved it. Your top two look worthy of looking in to. Number 3 looked like it didn't have a sand beach, only a beach wall?
Question for you...do you recall the cost for a 1 day motor bike rental on Bantayan?
I cant wait to go back...Salamat!
Thanks Karl. It does have a beach in front of the wall (although the sand is underwater at high tide) and at the front of the resort (before you enter) there's a bit of a beach.
As far as the bike I got it for 200 per day I did rent for a while though as you have more bargining power. I did talk bout this in my best of Bantayan series (just to give a plug!) I can't remember which one though ( I think part 2) and I put a contact number of someone you can rent a bike from below.

Take care,
Rob
@@FindingParadise Thanks Rob
Thank you so much Sir to show all about in my own place here in Bantayan island. Hopefully you comeback again together your Family and friends sir. Happy watching here from BANTAYAN ISLAND CEBU.. God bless you always Sir..
You're welcome I had a fantastic time there. I made 3 videos on all the best things to do in Bantayan Island as there's so much to see and do! Im currently editing a video now on the other hotels that didn't make this list. Yes I'd love to go back soon
Hey ! Can you tell me All the details? We have a plan . Hope you can help . I really appreciate it .
Oooooh the video we've been patiently waiting for! Thank you! Question since I'm too lazy to check myself, lol, do any of these resorts offer scuba diving??
You can try these guys facebook.com/VictoryDivers/. there's not a lot of scuba diving on the island.
Nice place Bantayan but lack any real water activities think its quite hard to even swim there, Malapascuas the Island for diving..
Malapascua is the way to go for diving. Although Victory Divers said they were looking for new spots to dive around Kinatarkan. There are some nice spots to swim at the beaches in Bantayan.
@@FindingParadise yes I've seen videos about the diving in Malapascua! But it seems like the resorts are much nicer on Bantayan. Wish I could have the best of both worlds, lol.
Don't we all! I did once take a boat direct from Malapascua to Bantayan I think it was around 3 hours, I think i even did a video on it. The resorts in Malapascua are generally smaller as the island is a lot smaller. Anyhow they are both beautiful islands
Balay ni JK is also nice. Affordable and clean.
Yeah I have done a video on that place too
I went there last august 2022.
Hope you enjoyed it.
The only downside to bantayan is the difficult transportation. You would need at least 6 hours to reach it from the nearest airport.
True. But they have recently extended for larger aircraft the airport there. So you will be able to fly direct like from Manila. I guess it will take a bit for demand to pick up for this though. When people start to travel more.
The best ten resorts in Bantayan Island Cebu
In my opinion anyhow 🙂
I love your videos. How much is the average room rates?
Thanks. Which resort are you looking at as each is different. I did show rates in the video
PHP 4000
Rob have you been in PH for like almost 2 years now?
Yeah it's coming 2 years in December.
Which resort offers the best wifi connection? Im planning for a longer stay but need excellent wifi for work.
When I was filming this they were installing optical fiber to the island, In theory most should have faster wifi than when I was there. I liked the speed at Amihan when I was there. Hopefully it's better with the fiber network. You may want to contact them direct to see what they say.
are you in bantayan right now? I am planning to visit as a filipino american with my mother and I was wondering if bantayan island is open. Like can i island hop and are you allowed to go anywhere on the island?
No Im back in Cebu City. Cebu has gone back into MECQ with this delta varient so there's a lot more restrictions now. When it goes back to GCQ you will be able to.
@@FindingParadise I will be staying in Cebu City as well by september, when was the last time cebu was in MGCQ? I just want to be able to do things with my younger cousins but in MECQ i think they cannot go anywhere. Also will domsetic flights be open to Siargao during GCQ from Cebu? I just want to stay somewhere where i can do water activites. Also in cebu are the street vendors still operating or is the city like a ghost town? I cant imagine it being completely shut down with the amount of people.
Cebu went into MECQ at the start of August, prior to that (all of 2021) it was GCQ. As of today the covid cases were still increasing I think yesterday it was 14 k new cases. MECQ has been extended till the end of August and will probably go longer until they get it more under control. You are allowed to travel from one GCQ area to another GCQ area but depending on local governments of the area, requirements will be slightly different (ie swap tests etc). Yes there are some food ventors operating, from where I am there are some just around the corner. Maybe try to email some of the resorts in Mactan to see what they are offering.
imagine take a bath then suddenly a drone pass by then got uploaded in youtube then people zoom in the video they can see your butt in 4k.
are there other good beach resorts on the other sides of bantayan island?
The beaches elsewhere aren't so good. I have done other videos on resorts on other parts here ruclips.net/video/YVDLtpBdM5U/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/zCSE2Oyf0XI/видео.html
But really if you want to stay on the best beaches in Bantayan Island it's best to be around Santa Fe.
Prices have increased alot over the past few years.
And will go higher after the pandemic! With the airport expanding only more tourists will be going...
Hey Rob can you take a vehicle to the island? Ferry?
Yeah you can. There's roros that can take even a bus.
@@FindingParadise ok , good to know. thanks for the info Rob 👍
Hi.....These resorts if i buy fish at the markets say,,,,,will the resorts cook it for you at a price?
I never tried so I'm not sure. Generally if the place has it's own restaurant then no as they want you to buy from them. Smaller resorts especially family run ones you'll have a better chance. Just message the resort directly in Facebook.
I've stayed in Amihan, although its beautiful, the food is good and beach is amazing. The water supply is so bad, we ran out of water while I was showering. The hotel should find a way to fix it.
I didn't have that issue when I stayed. Maybe it was Island water issue? Did they tell you the reason?
Any condotels on that island?
Not that I know of. I did some other vids on other accommodation there if that helps.
Can you pay to use any of the pools at hotels in bantayan island?
You can at Bantayan Island Nature Park and Resort on day use.
Thanks for that 👍
Your girlfriends are pretty. You can choose the worst resort but you will still leave the island happy with those girls.
Filipinas are naturally pretty 🙂
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT ABANIKO BEACH RESORT? YOU MISSED OUR RESORT HAHA
I had a quick look when I was staying at Anika but there was no one around at the time. I didn't get a chance to get back. They were saying Anika used to rent your cottages? Anyhow I can message you next time I come to Bantayan so i can stay. Cheers. Rob
@@FindingParadise yah they rented the cottages in the front beach, but not anymore. Well i hope when you come back i get to see you haha see yah
How to booking
I showed in the video
I hired a motorcycle for 400php per day.
If you hire from the hotel/resort they tend to be higher and if you rent longer you can negotiate better rates
How ntras n table
Which resort are you referring to?
God bless us I love it very beautiful and relaxing place. I want to stay in a first class white sand beach resorts, Brand new townhouses, Hotel, Palace, mansion houses together my family, friends and relatives. Please be connected to put in my name and give it to me directly the key and I want clean title po. In God all things are possible po. Thank you so much po. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines
You’re forgetting mentioning WIFI? Quite important
Yeah sorry I did mention in some. The 1st one Marlins had wifi. You can ask me about any resort. Just as i was there they were installing the cable network in Santa Fe so in theory speeds will be better.
@@FindingParadise bantayan is a beautiful place ! yes I heard some mentions no problem 😉 just that it seems to be top priority for guests where they choose to stay, we brought cable up to us and every bungalow has its own private wifi router that’s much appreciated 👍😀 we are on Siquijor @ Southmountain Resort
No worries, thanks for the feedback. Just had a quick look at the pictures there (Southmountain) Looks nice!. May have to check it out next time im in Siquijor.
@@FindingParadise you better do that 😜😀👍
Cheers, I was there in Siquijor before the covid mess, but I stayed around San Juan area. Looks peaceful at Southmountain.
I like when u say the breakky is average.u r soo kind it looks like absolute crap.all the food looks bad.they not cheap there should b better food 4 the price
Haha. Well Bantayan Island is more provincial than more touristy spots like Boracay so you expectations have to be lowered a little.
Why are your videos underater??????????
Just enjoy :)
God bless us I love it very beautiful and relaxing place. Very nice to stay, investment and selfie selfie together my family, friends and relatives. I need your help to connect my prayer request to give me a brand new mansion houses Palace, townhouses, Hotel, white sand beach resorts coz I want to experience also a good life together my family, friends and relatives. I want clean title po and put in my name my prayer request and give it to me directly. Please let me know and follow up if I receive it. In God all things are possible po. Thanks From Lani D.
