We Also checked the new SeaView Aparratel(verry affordable), Sugar Beach, Kota Beach, Basta madami.. hehe..
Then nag lunch kame sa portuguese..

Place to Stay
Seaview

Cons: Based sa GF ko ahmmm pangit daw kasi pag labas mo sa room mo hinde beach ka agad makikita mo.. but i like it because hinde na bubutas bulsa ko
Price: (700php) good for two aircon pa! heheh.. maganda talaga view

Sta Fe

Cons: Mahal hehe..
Price: 3K?
Ogtong
Pros: Parang nasa garden ka... they really develop the place... Meron swiming pool... And Nice mag swim sa ogtong cave(hinde kayo magkakaroon nang sunburn)

Price: same owner with Ogtong and Sta fe but i thingk higher price

FOOD
(yong na try lang namin)
Portugese
and hirap mag pros and cons sa food hahah.. sa taste na lang ha? hehehe 1-5 (5 highest)

Price value: 3
comments: kng madami kayo bili na lang kayo nang plater na rice because per cup nila 45php!! pero kng 1 platter 80+ lang eheh.. and kng dinner recommend ko yng eat all you can nila 240php with bottomless icetea..

Okey i forgot the name of the other Restaurant, pero nasa front lang sya of Portugese
Taste: 4
Price value: 3
comments: ang laki nang serving nila!! hehe.. medyo pricey sya pero dami namn ng serving.. yng na try ko lang d2 breakfast lang eh... but its worth the try..

How to have fun

Tips:
1. Rent a motor cycle!!!
(250-300php 24hrs na gamit na but buy your own gasoline 2-3liters cguro okey na for the whole day)
2. Go island Hopping!!
(700-800php whole day ikotikot na yan)
3. Shopping!!!
(Punta kayo sa Bantayan Proper About 10-15mins motor Driving and sarap pa ma drive kasi daming ma trees so hinde ma init and masarap yng hangin.. bili kayo dried fish.. shells.. visit kayo sa 400 year old na church...)
