BUDYONG BEACH RESORT

BUDYONG BEACH RESORT


Finding a nice,clean,calm and quite and affordable place? there is nothing I can think of except the Budyong Beach Resort in Bantayan Island.I been here several times now but I never felt any feeling of tiresome about the place.Every time I visit the place I really wonder that  Im on a perfect paradise.White powdery sand, clear blue water,a nipa hut cottage standing in front of the beach and a wide horizon of blue sky.


If you want to be alone and away from the busy and noisy city or just finding my self back in a peaceful and quite place my recommendation for you is the Budyong beach Resort a laid back type of resort where no TV and noisy sound can be heard in the area,Just be there appreciate the beauty of the sea, just you and the sea,..just you and the sand...

"Do whatever you can do while you are in the resort" just observe the resort policies then I guarantee you that you will enjoy your day while staying the resort.

The resort has its own restaurant with a set of  Filipino dishes to choose from,or you can have it cooked according to your own preference,enjoy the area and sit on their unique tables and chairs made of Kamagong woods while  reading materials are available for you to read and a section area where a souvenir items are made for sale,an open air area where a fresh breeze of wind flowing in and out while enjoying the scenery friendly staff and good foods.

 but the most practical is buy a fresh sea foods along the beach,morning and afternoon many vendors passing buy selling sea foods that are freshly catch from the sea in a very affordable price,have it cooked according to your request and they will have it prepared by their  resort kitchen chef ,A charge will be required per kilo.




Or buy your drinks and food outside if you are on a tight budget.Its more cheaper and affordable since the market is just a walking distance and anyway you can bring it along in the resort.

Choosing the perfect beach front cottages upon making a reservation so that you will enjoy the beauty of the resort.A 1,500 pesos a night good for 2 persons during off season with a private wash room and an air conditioned room,each cottage has its own mini balcony to enjoy while wondering the beauty of the beach.Its not a high -end accommodation,a comfortable and clean linens is all it need enough for staying overnight.  

You can do your land and water sports since the resort had a spacious area for your preferable sports activities as long as you bring with you your own equipments. 

Or contact locals "bangkero"or boats for an Island hopping for only 1,000.00 pesos for 4 persons,and explore the hidden beauty of the Island and discover the hidden paradise awaits for  you to see. 

Every cottage on the resort are made of Nipa hut a local term for "Bahay Kubo" an indigenous house used in the Philippines,it is made of a bamboo tied together and Anahaw leave or nipa as a roof.
Living on this kind of structural houses is very refreshing as it is made of wood materials perfect for a tropical areas.

For those sporty groups you can bring a tent with you,there is an area where you can place your tent just pay for about 500 pesos for an overnight stay of the resort.


After a day of fun and water activities, you can spurge to the clear blue water of the beach,enjoy the fine white sand or even do a walk by the shore where you will experience the vast white sand of the Island and collect some deferent kinds and form of sea stones and sea shells along the way.
ENJOY! ENJOY! ENJOY!
