James,

I think you posted this on the wrong website.

St. Bernard does have a website http://www.bantayan.dk/

maybe that will get you to where you need to be.

We don’t do bookings here. Just a fan of Bantayan Island.

Its okay Joy, they are both good sites. I wondered about wowphilippines.com I didn’t remember hotel deals there. They’re might be some though.

Hi ge! In response to your query (and a very very late one too…sorry), I got mine via WowPhilippines.com. Hotels that are featured there offer discounts when you tell them you got it from that website.

I would love to stay at more places. I have been unable to go lately.

Any resorts want to treat me to a stay there? haha I wish…

I have to leave the country soon. I’m really wanting to visit the island, perhaps I can after my next VISA run.

Kumusta? And here goes my review.

I stayed in St. Bernard’s from October 17 to 19 of 2009. We booked Cottage #6 and didn’t realize it was a tad too small for us 3 girls but loved the cute bed and circular windows. It was our “Hobbit” home. We would have transferred but the other 2 decided to stay for the reason we were too darn tired from all the swimming and touring. Cottage #1 was bigger and was along the beach front. Amazingly, there wasn’t any noisy neighbors that I have read we would expect there.

Food was absolutely great. Even if we weren’t able to taste Tristan’s pizza, we had and loved their banana and mango flambe pancakes. A must to eat too when you visit Sta. Fe. We loved how big their serving size was. We may be petite but we had an appetite of a larger homo sapien.

Service was excellent. Eden, Flemming and the crew made us feel at home. I don’t know what kind of service other people expect in resorts but it fit what we liked. We got to tour Virgin and Hilantaga-an islands with our 3days and 2 nights package. It was a bit cloudy at the time and we were told to come back during the summer months. The sky would appear just like how it looks like in a postcard. If you love the heat of summer on a beach like me, I’d heed their advise.

I loved their beach (compared to my stony black sand beach in San Joaquin). White sand and still teeming with life. Don’t expect Boracay-like shores. They’ve got loads of seagrass, little shells, crabs, sea urchins, fishes, starfishes, sea cucumbers, sea urchins (yes, the black spiny ones with red and white spots), and sea horse (i just saw one, hence, singular noun). There was one blue bird, I forgot what is was called. This is separate from the ones Flemming had. This one was wild and we just happened to see at 6am while admiring the view.

Tita Nene Dondon and Tito Glen Mansueto toured us in Bantayan Is (TY to Tito Ben for the van). But we did manage to attend Sunday Mass in St. Peter and Paul Church on our own by hiring a tricycle. One could probably go around well in these. Pedicabs are available if you don’t like walking around.

I could type more good reviews about my stay in St. Bernard’s and in Bantayan Is. but I think this will suffice. I will definitely be back during the summer months when the beauty of Bantayan Is. is at its greatest.
