It was my first time in Cebu; my second instance to ride an airplane. We landed in Mactan-Cebu International Airport last Friday, and headed straight to Bantayan Island. From the airport we rode a taxi to North Bus Terminal. From there, we rode a bus to Hagnaya port, then a RORO (Island Shipping) to Sta. Fe pier in Bantayan. It was an estimated 4-5 hours from Manila to Bantayan, with all of those transfers.
In Bantayan, we stayed in Sta. Fe beach club. From the pier, you can already see Sta. Fe, a 5 minute drive away.
While in Bantayan, you should try D'Jungle, the best restaurant in the island. They serve buffet, which boasts of a variety of tasty seafood to crispy pata to differnt kinds of grilled dishes, from Friday to Sunday for only 249 pesos. It comes with a refillable iced tea.
You might also want to go on a day trip to Virgin Island, a private island, where you can snorkel and rest for the day for an entrance fee of 300 pesos. Renting a boat from Sta Fe. for the whole day costs 1,800, inclusive of your lunch while on the island, and your snorkeling gear.
