Bantayan Island in its Low Season

by on Sep.02, 2010, under General

Sorry that I didn’t post on my blog now for a while, it’s just because of our low season right now, but that will change in the near future again.

Some would say that now is the right time NOT to visit Bantayan. But in my opinion it is absolutely the right time! The most hotels are near to empty, so you have as much privacy as you like and you can easily ask for your favors if there are some, and mostly the stuff can handle without big waiting time causing by other guests.

And besides of that you will see the complete Island in all possible colors due to the weakening raining season. Some month ago we have a very hot period and the most plants were out of water and so they couldn’t show their beautiful colors, but right now, all the flowers, plants and trees getting all their strength back. Most hotels taking care of their plants, so the surroundings are always watered and in that way green, but to see the complete island that full of life is again a little bit different and makes Bantayan Island to such a special place, especially if you come from a bigger town.

But at least there is one important thing what I better don’t forget. Right now is here the perfect time to have some nice walks at the beach, taking a sunbath or whatever you like to do there. The white Beach is at this time the same quite like the most other places on Bantayan Island and you can enjoy a very relaxing and comfortingly vacation.
And about the water temperature you also don’t need to worry. All around the year, our water here has nearly the same temperature, so you can go to every day and night time to swim, even if it is June, September, December or March. You will never feel a difference.

With the Kiwi Cottages I like to introduce the visitors and readers of the Bantayan Island Blog a new Hotel build in the beautiful native style. The small Area with the nine cozy bamboo cottages offers good comfort and a very good value for money. Therefore it’s centrally located at the restaurant mile in Santa Fe. Unfortunately, without direct access to the sea, but for that no total excessive prices.

If you want to know the current prices of the rooms just call one of these numbers:

Landline: 0324389075
Cell phone: 09206681268
Cell phone: 09128907896

Please always remember that you have a time difference depend on the country from where you call.

As like in the most Philippine Hotels children are not only welcome, mostly the Owners are really happy if a couple comes with their own children. Also here the Owner has children who almost staying in the restaurant area.

Noteworthy is also the delicious cuisine what is covering everything from Cheeseburger, to Pizza and Steak for a reasonable price. Not luxury but a cuisine that tastes!

Especially Tong Its and Hearts Player are welcome at Kiwi Cottages. There is near to no day where you wouldn’t find some People playing Cards in on of the Corners.

by on May.01, 2010, under Hotels, Restaurants

Tristans Restaurant One of my favourite restaurants where I’m going to eat again and again is the Tristan’s Restaurant in my direct surroundings. A walk from Bantayan Cottages at the beach till there needs not more than 5 minutes, if you take your time. The owner of this small Beach hotel and Restaurant is Nancy who takes care of every guest herself and always has a smile in her face. When we were years ago the first time on Bantayan Island we had our first nice contact to Nancy, so that we have today a very good relation to our friend Nancy. Back then only as Guests in her Hotel and today as guests in her Restaurant.

With her love to details she achieved that Tristan’s get to one of the best Restaurants in Santa Fe. Simple, but fine. Her chef is also getting more and more better through all the courses where he acquire more know how. In that way she is famous for her Pizza creations and also the Cordon Bleu. The meals you can get there are from good Philippine dished with fish up to common international meals, things what’s simple but very good taste.

Who likes to reserve a room there could do that under this Number:

Cell Phone number of Tristan’s: 09195371536

But please remember, Nancy speaks only English or Cebuano.
