My wife visited Bantayan many times. Her mom is from the port just across the water in St Remegio. Her moms employer has property there and they holiday there frequently. Her mom is the house cook. :D

[grahamw48]

Nah, looks awful mate.

What's up with Skegness ? :D

Keep us posted.
I'll probably end up sitting on one of those grotty white coral sand beaches around Xmas, with nowt to do but drink San Migs and watch gorgeous young ladies strolling past. :cwm3:

What did you think of Bantayan island?

[Leen]

What did you think of Bantayan island?

too be honest???it's quite boring....places are far from each other and nothing much to do especially at night...(just my opinion tho).one thing i love there was the pizzeria which owned buy a dutch guy.....

[s2pidkaspr]

Is it a good place? I thought Boracay was best on Philippines?

[Arjie]

My Fiance(Chris) and I, we went to Panglao, Bohol by Super Cat from Cebu to Tagbilaran port. We hired a Taxi for going to Panglao..We stayed in Diver's Dream Resort for 3 days..i love the place, the filipino cuisine love it!! Love the beach, the floating restaurant, the Philippine Tarsier and more.. i love the entire Bohol...:heartshape1::heartshape1::heartshape1:

wait till you go to Coron and El Nido in Palawan and compare it to Boracay only then you can say that Palawan is the best...Been to Boracay,only thing i love there are the water activities....the place is too crowded and expensive

I read a blog on Coron recently, by a Filipina. It sounds fantastic.

We try to get a few days on Boracay each year off season but the worlds most beautiful island seems to be losing its charm,its totally overdeveloped now.
Still a great place to visit if you have never been but we will give Boracay a miss and go back to Panglao this year.
The mystic island of Siquijor is lovely,an easy ferry ride from Dumaguete. There are some great beaches and resorts in San Juan and a lot to do and see. Its becoming more popular so go sooner rather than later

We seem to bear an uncanny resemblance ! :Erm: (Well, when I was bit younger).

Hmm...I was born maybe 20 miles from there. :Erm:

Actually he looks like my uncle (when younger), who also had fair hair.

Anyway I congratulate you on picking such a good-lucking man. :D
