Budyong Beach Resort, Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island,CEBU

No matter how money has been very tight to us these days, we still found time to squeeze in a plan to go for another summer adventure. After all the researches and the bookings for the accommodations that my sister and friend did, we finally got to the place they called island paradise in Bantayan Island. From the North Bus terminal we took the Ceres bus that will take us to Hagnaya. It was really fun to travel with friends ” nga di boring “. In other words…. that almost five hours travel that we did….was totally worth it. Though the ride on the ferry experienced was a bit funny because we really have no idea how it is like…til we got there and found out that it was a huge roro type. No 1st class or 2nd class seats here….. everyone has to sit down first-come-first-served on plastic benches arranged on the deck. Since we were the one who arrived last..we were not able to sit comfortably as we expected.

After that exciting long trip ….Bantayan to us on a first glance was a blast. We took a cab from the port to Budyong Resort. This is actually the one my sister saw in the internet that his highly recommended for those who wanted to have a more relaxing beach to stay in… with it’s heavenly sandbar which really shows that this resort really offers one of the best beach front (that sometimes Kota visitors claim that it’s part of Kota’s resort, though it’s not). Aside from it has one of the cheapest accommodation rates and very accessible to the market it’s like Bora without the crowd. After unpacking we went straight to the beach for a look-see and it was’nt a disappointment at all.

It was absolutely one of Cebu’s finest.

I would really say that Bantayan is one of the few beaches that I really love to visit again. Though the beach maybe perfect but it would have been great if the staff were a little more attentive and responsive. ( I actually lost my wallet there and It’s just too sad they did nothing to be of help.) Not to mention the lot of sea weeds floating of the shore , but still we really had tons of fun and really enjoyed swimming with the powdery white sand. Budyong might be fairly simple but the beach scenario….It was Absolutely GREAT!

Room Rates Info:

When you’re in need of a breather, scenic environment, you should try to go south. One of the most popular get away destination in the southern part of Cebu is the most eminent Kawasan Falls in Badian.

Actually I have visited the place thrice. My first time was quite despairing yet unforgettable , the second one was great and romantic and my last visit was really fun and memorable. But on the whole, that three times in a row visit have definitely provided me a well deserving scenery and ambiance.

Before getting to one of the falls picturesque spot you will have to walk 15 to 30 mins. along a very rocky , narrow path and cross three small bridges. Hmmmm…..sounds exciting right?Yup! You still have to travel and get exhausted..just a little but hey..wait until you get to see and enjoy the natural, relaxing, peaceful, cool and deep freshwater which provides a beautiful setting for soul-searching.

One of LLTP’s summer escapade is going to one of the favorite destination in dalaguete.

Obong Spring is a natural spring water with a cold mountain ambiance which flows near the beach where fresh and salty water mixes. It is indeed perfect for an outing with friends or family and a lovely place for taking photos.

At first we were sort of dubious about how fun the spring would be but I’m really such a big sucker when it comes to cold water and for a change I guess this will be another attraction for those who do not want sea adventure anymore.

Exploring these relaxing locations kinda remind me of being young again. And no matter how money has been very tight to us these days, we’re still positive that we can still do something to capture nature’s calmness. Nevertheless, we still end up laughing about how great thooooose days were.
