My girlfriend and I went to the island to escape from the city and work stresses. We were so pleased that this place was the perfect place to unwind and relax. The staff gave us cosy family style service and catered for all our requests with always a smile on their face and without hesitation. The highlights were the boating... More

Unfortunately, when i phoned the driver, he was... More

I booked this hotel based on reviews from TA. I ended up leaving before even checking in. The specific reason was the terrible beach. We dropped our bags in the room upon arrival and walked out to the beach. The beach was not sand at all. Felt like packed dirt. I walked into the water and my feet sank into... More

I like this place because it is not yet so crowded. In the future, this will become the next Boracay. I am glad i came here before it becomes flooded with guests. So as not to spoil your night tours, bring a lot of mosquito spray. I swear the mosquitoes have teeth like nails. I see a lot of my... More

Last week me and my family took a vacation there in Bantayan Island, I found white beach bungalows are unique than the others, it is a nice place to stay white beach and clean air. If you are looking for private and far from crowded area then white beach bungalows is good for you.
