No wonder they call this place paradise (foreigners, lol)
The coast line was quite long and you can even go to other resorts...LOL..on another note however, the pace of the place is quite SLOW due to the different lifestyle people live over there so don't really expect insane, SUPER fast Customer Service, but that is understandable, not just to this resort but to the rest of the place; Being in a Laid-Back environment can be a good thing once in a while.

the day ends in a low tide, need to rest and go home...:(
They say Bantayan is the Next boracay, but I believe it can SURPASS Boracay, with investments coming in, even developmental programs such as the GK Bayani Challenge establishing houses for the poor is a good sign for the place to grow slowly, surely and with proper planning!
