Day Tour at BE Resorts Mactan

Decided for a quick tropical getaway and thought of the perfect place to be ~Be Resorts, located in Punta Engano, Mactan  in the beautiful island of Cebu.

Me and my boyfriend traveled to Cebu last July 19, 2013 for some midyear vacay.  From the airport, we rode a taxi going to Be Resort. It could cost you around 120-150 Php. If you are on a tight budget, you may opt to ride the shuttle from the airport to Marina Mall, and then ride the jeepney with the sign Punta Engano.

There are a lot of well-known resorts in the neighborhood of BE. Some are Moevenpick, Shangrila, Portofino, etc. But what makes BE unique is that it's rightly priced with its stylish design and very accomodating staff.

We availed of their day tour for only 750 Php which is inclusive of:

~ Entrance fee

~Free use of all Swimming Pools and Beach

~Free use of towels

~ Rice Bowl for Lunch

~ choice of Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice or Iced Tea

-Unlimited Wifi Access 

These are Kenneth Cobunpue's creations. If you don't know who he is, he's an international furniture designer best known for his works for Brad  Pitt and Angelina. ;) #ProudPinoyMoments

The Salt Bar. Where Wi fi Access  is super kaduper fast. Really.

If you wish to go overnight, room rates start around 5,000Php. This includes Buffet Breakfast, Swimming, and you get to enjoy Parasailing, Island Hopping, Scuba Diving, Snorkelling, Jet Skiing and a whole lot more. 

When we got here, there are a lot of Korean Tourists. You'd probably think you're not in the Philippines. :)

What I liked most about this resort is that the staff make you feel like a millionaire from the way they treat you. They treat all guests equally,no biases for foreign tourists whatsoever. Even the gardener is so courteous. And the waiter named Sam accommodated us very well.

The only thing I kind of disliked was that there were some flies. But not really a big problem, the place is too beautiful to focus on those creatures.

Got Pineapple and Orange Juice to add to the tropical feel.

Chicken Pork Adobo. yummy.

 Scuba Diving equipment. They have classes for beginners. Perfect for me, yay!

Sea for Yourself

Surf, sea, sand, and  sun

Bantayan Island Cebu , I had all the fun

I'm back from my summer beach trip. 

And I must say that my dark chocolate skin is totally worth it. 

and of course no beach trip would ever be complete without the jump shot!!!

with my mom

don't you just love to relax , unwind and enjoy the cool wind?

I've been wanting to share this to you ever since I laid my eyes on this perfect setting.

 the beach, the breeze and everything in between captivated me.

so if you feel a little adventurous this summer, why not give Bantayan a try?

I'm sure you'll love it like I do cause there are a lot of things you can do there, like Island Hopping, kayaking, snorkeling, horseback riding, swimming, caving, and you can explore the town with full of historical stories. you can also exchange stories while having a bonfire at nighttime. you can not only get the perfect tan, you can also bring home lots of great memories.

getting there

1. from Bacolod, take a bus going to Sagay. from the Old Sagay Port, take the 2-hour Boat trip going to Bantayan. You must make sure you make it at the 9am trip because there is only 1 trip per day, unless there are special occasions where there are 2 trips made per day.

2. From Bantayan Port, you may ride the tricycles going to the resort of your choice. Most popular are Sta. Fe beach Club and Ogtong Resort. you could also contact your resort if there are transportation services.

or 

1. from cebu, take the 4-hour ship ride to Hagnaya Port. it is a cargo ship so you could actually bring your car there. this port is nearer to the beach so it will be easier to go to your resort. 

for prices, just leave a comment or you may send me a message.
