Resort's Attraction

Being located in a country area, Bantaaw Beach Resort has the advantages for a healthy living. By ‘healthy’ I mean a clean environment, crisp breeze, green surrounding, peaceful and open air.

Coconuts and trees
The resort is facing both amazing sights – the wide blue sea and the green mountain range of Southwest Cebu.

If you want to enjoy not only the beach or sea, you can explore the lush green environment in the area. Coconut trees, plants, flowering plants, trees and local plants that yield fruits are visible everywhere. Of course, you can enjoy the refreshing young coconut if you ask for it!

Sea stars & Corals
The underwater close to the resort is fecund with sea life. You will notice and can observe the starfishes, sea corals, shells and anything that live under that sea. Therefore, you can decide to snorkel in the area and see them yourself.

Peace and simplicity   
The place is simple (not fancy like those 5-star hotels) and peaceful. But it could be 'noisy' but fun if there’s a party or other social event. However, the general atmosphere is serene if compared to a city environment and such stressful places.
