Trip To Bantayan Island Beach Resort
Jessie and I made a visit to Tristan’s Bantayan Island Beach Resort in May of 2011.
We saw several creatures during our two swims in the healing waters of Bantayan Island. There was a beautiful reddish orange star fish. It looked dangerous but I don’t think it is. Well not dangerous to humans but it does eat coral. We also ran across a sea urchin near the shore. It is good we saw it before we stepped on it. That is one experience of living in the Philippines that I hope I am able to avoid.
There was a beautiful golden sunset while we were there. I’ve seen Bogo City covered in golden sunlight before but I’ve never seen anything like this before. You can see this in the pictures at the bottom of this post along with the sea creatures we encountered.
I took some video while we were there. This video is displayed below.
And here is a slide show of our trip to Bantayan Island:
Have you ever stayed at a Bantayan Island Beach Resort? If so, tell me about it. If not, why not?

Nice videos and nice CELTIC music … being of O’Fallon background … I’m liking it!
good combination … Philippines & Celtic music!
Thanks, I did think it fit well
It is hard to find tunes I can legally use. That one is one of them.
I need to replace that slide show. I’m surprised it is working. That is a service I tried and didn’t think they were worth any where close to $70 a year.
I will replace it if I don’t forget. I set the new slide show to music from the Philippines. I’ll surely try to find it. It is on my YouTube channel some place.
Hi there. Bantayan island looks great. We are two families going to the Philippines in march-april and haven’t decided where to go yet. We were thinking about Palawan, have you been there or know anything about the island? Maybe you have other suggestions? We are 4 adults and 4 children from 7 to 13 years.
For a family, I think Palawan would be a much better choice. However it was also MUCH more expensive.
I have been to Palawan and loved it. If you search this site for Palawan you’ll find about seven articles about my trip there.
I dug up links for my articles and pictures. Here they are:

Here are a few photos of Palawan where I live. I walk daily here on this beach.
That is a house of a friend of mine.
Now, for all of you city dwellers I also have for your enjoyment one final photo of Manila sun rise.
