bag-o lang gyud ko na abot gikan sa bantayan. stayed at marlins beach resort. nag tapad ra ni silang tulo sa kota ug budyong. na disappoint kos budyong ug kota uy kay shore line nila daghan kaayog sagbot, ang tubig murag kanal. ingon ang tig-bantay karon lang daw to ingon ana ilang beach kay hangin-hangin man gud to nya dagkog balod mao kunong medyo lubog ang tubig. wala to nila limpyohi kay murag wala silay guest. pag adto nakos kota ingon sila duha ra kuno ang occupied sa ilang room. nya inig ka gabii ngit-ngit tan-awon ilang resort specially their restaurant. ngi-ob nya daghan lamok sa gawas. the rooms are old and made of sub standard materials nya gi bungatan pa mig 1,200 sa non aircondition room and its not even peak season. and there is no tv so ang imong lingaw sa beach ra gyud.
utro sad ang budyong. ang ilang shore line hugaw sad kay walay guest so wala lang pud tingali nila limpyohi. daghan gyud kaayong sagbot kanang mga dinala sa balod. rooms are made of "amakan" pero mas nindot pa tan-awon and room sa budyong kay sa kota. wala nalang ko nangutana kung tag-pila ilang room kay pagka kita nakos ilang beach na hugaw i already made up my mind na im not staying there.
so off we went to marlins. ilang resort is comparable to a 3 star hotel. we stayed at the beach front rooms. rate nila kay Php1,600 for 3 persons nya 200 additional bed. naay tv with cable channels and refrigerator. its a 2 storey building. ang restaurant lami ug pagka-on. mahal lang gyud hino-on. pero sa tulo murag and marlins ra gyud and arang arang, at least at that time it was. daghan sad silag guest. we were planning on going to virgin island. abang sa pump boat kay 1500 pero wala nalang mi mangadto kay medyo hangin-hangin nya dili raba mi kabalo mang manglangoy tanan
to go to bantayan you have to take a bus from the north bus terminal. plete kay 70 for the aircon. i think its 60 for the non aircon but its worth getting the bus with AC otherwise ma puno mos abog unya and ka init maka luya specially nga layo ang biyahe. the bus will take you to hagnaya. it takes about 3 to 3 and half hours. from hagnaya you can take a boat to bantayan. ang plete di mag pareha, depende sa barko. pag padulong namo didto ang plete kay 170 per person pero naay aircon kay akong mga kuyog mga arte kaayo
here are some pics i took while i was there. kini sya sa marlins beach resort ni nga view
