The excursion from Cebu took and while. Our driver from Cebu was excellent. The ferry trip was not much fun and all transportation on the island was by a tricycle. Though Janell was great, a tricycle is not goos in bad weather. We thought we were getting a air conditioner car like it listed in the description. Other than that everything was great. Hotel was cute and nice. Food was excellent as was all the staff. The weather was rough but you can't control that, only make the best of it. I would definitely recommend this excursion as long as you are okay with a tricycle as your mode of transportation around the island. Santa Fe was very nice without a lot of traffic. The beaches were also not crowded.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We're very happy to hear that you had a great experience. Regarding the transportation, we truly appreciate your understanding. Unfortunately, it's a bit challenging to detail the different modes of transportation for Cebu and Bantayan Island separately in the inclusions. However, we do our best to ensure everything runs smoothly for your journey. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Pro:
Driver on time.
Staffs at the hotel very pleasant, polite and courteous especially Mary even I lost my cool when we got to the hotel because of communication and wi-fi issue.
Room was clean and comfortable.
Hotel also provides bikes free to use to ride around the island.
The food were okay. They packed our lunch for our tour on the 2nd day, island hopping.
Our tour guide Gevars, was friendly and polite. Although on our first day, we supposed to visit few land tours but because it was a rainy day and windy we were only able to see few places which was okay. On top of that, on our way to mangrove (camp sawi) his trike bike got a flat tire so we lost about 45 minutes but that didn't matter because the camp was awesome and it was worth the wait.
We love the island hopping. Virgin Island was beautiful and relaxing. The lagoon was also beautiful, peaceful and relaxing.
Cons:
Wi-fi was spotty.
Plenty of mosquitoes, it would be nice if they can provide mosquito repellent to their guests
No water pressure in the shower.
Sliding door to the balcony needs some lubrication so it will slide smoothly.
A sign that says "PLEASE CLOSE THE DOOR SLOWLY" needs to be posted inside and outside the door as a courtesy to some other guest. Many were slamming doors as they closed it.
The staffs needs to learn how to keep there voice down before 8:00 a.m.. because noise travels. They were so loud talking and singing so early in the morning.
Food too salty.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to our friends and family.
Side notes: The dropped off area for the island hopping is dirty. I hope that people around the area doing business will help and beautify the surroundings.
At least rake the shoreline and remove the garbage. It's pretty nasty to look at, especially Bantayan Island is now in the map as one of the beautiful island to visit. Many tourists already knew that this island exists and beautiful. That is all!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you very much for the detailed review. We always try to give our guests the best possible experience on Bantayan Island, even if it is sometimes a bit difficult due to the prevailing circumstances over which we have only little control (WiFi, water supply, waste disposal etc.).

The trip was fantastic, everything worked out seamlessly. The tour was incredible and authentic. Starting from the private car pick up, to the ferry ride ,accommodations and tours .The team took care of all our needs. Our tour guide Joseph is flexible and accomodating. He took us on an adventure of a lifetime.
Without a doubt it one of the best experience.

We enjoyed every single destination from Land Tour to Island Hopping. The places are wonderful, people are welcoming and lovely. We also enjoyed foods with different variety.
Overall our vacation on Bantayan Island is one of a kind !
Thank you..

Canadian family of 5 + Lola. Kids are 3, 5, and 10 years olds.
We had the “Apartment” suite, which we found to be spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly, and very helpful. Food was great. We tried a few other places in town, but our favourite meals were at this place.
We did the 2 day and 3 night package, which included land and sea transfer from Cebu. Everything was organized, with a few minor language barrier moments, which is to be expected. I would opt for the third night if I had a chance to do it again.
Bantayan is booming. We visited El Nido 15 years ago, prior to it blowing up, and this place gives off the same vibes.
Island hopping and the island tour were both great, with our highlights being Virgin Island, Paradise Beach and Nature Park cave. Joseph was our guide for each day, and was fantastic. He has an excellent grasp of English, and was even able to communicate in Tagalog, which is not all that common in the Cebu region. He has a great intuition when to be involved/intrusive and when not to be. This is great, as we’ve been on several such tours all over the world, and his style made our tours comfortable and enjoyable.
In summary, just book it, you won’t regret the 4 hour trip either way from Cebu to Bantayan. FYI, they are nearly completed the airport, which will have direct flights from Manila and Cebu, from what I understand.

We were so impressed with the all- in package which saved us from the hassles of getting entrance tickets and arranging transport to the amazing places we visited. Thanks to the excellent service offered by Sykes Travel and Tours headed by Kristine! I so loved the delicious and generous food served!
