😍🏝🚢🚌BANTAYAN ESCAPADE🚌🚢🏝😍 " KOTA BEACH " (SPOT) Kota Beach in Santa Fe, Cebu is just one of the many resorts found onBantayan Island. But what would instantly catch your attention is the tall Camp Sawisign upon entering the driveway—courtesy of the breakup-themed film starring Andi Eigenmann, Bela Padilla, and others. This "screen name" still holds true even beyond the movie, because what's a better cure for a broken heart than a relaxing beach getaway? You get front row seats to a beautiful view of the blue horizon that looks like it’s kissing the equally calming turquoise waters. By sundown, you can walk on the powdery white sandbar and take selfies that would make your ex regret breaking up with you. Let the hours pass then lie back for a stargazing session. Who knows? You might just see a wishing star that will make your dreams of a better relationship come true. Accommodations range from a standard fan room (P900) to a beachfront suite (P3,800). These all have outdoor terraces that are perfect for just staring out into the sea while reflecting on your action plan for a new (and better) you. After you’re done brooding by your lonesome, you can check out what the rest of Bantayan Island has to offer—from snorkeling at the marine sanctuary to just enjoying the scenery while biking around. This is your moving-on trip and you should make the most out of it. "Obo-ob Mangrove Garden" While Bantayan Island is after promoting local tourism, the OMAGIECA Mangrove Garden in Brgy. Obo-ob also  aims to raise environmental awareness about how mangroves play a significant role in the marine ecosystem. It contributes to the fisheries, coastal protection, erosion control, and carbon sequestration. February 27, 2017 – Part of our second-day tour in Bantayan Island is the Mangrove Garden. After our adventures and misadventures in Paradise Beach, we took a quick trip to Obo-ob. From Sta. Fe, we passed by several towns until we reached Obo-ob road. It was about 15-20 minute drive. The entrance to the mangrove garden can easily be spotted along the main road.  At 8  in the morning, we were greeted by the officer and registered on their logbook. We paid PHP 50 for the entrance fee. Tourists have the option to tour around the mangrove area via kayaking and boating. However, my friend and I chose to stroll around and appreciate the mangrove via the bamboo boardwalk. There was no tour guide to accompany us, but all there was left to do was to follow the pathway. Some bamboo steps were shaky already, but the trail is still very safe. At the end of the bamboo bridge were huts for resting and a bamboo tower for a better view of the mangrove area. It seemed as if the bamboo tower was under construction, so we didn’t get the chance to climb up and see the scenery from the top. During the first phase of the tour, there was no shade to protect us from the direct sunlight. At the second phase, there were already trees and the air has cooled down. We took a brief rest at the huts before we went back. It was a short experience in the Mangrove Garden, but it was a relaxing walk with nature that is worth the visit. http://sugbo.ph/2017/budget-sta-fe-bantayan-island/ https://www.tripadvisor.com.ph/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g1218897-d3250130-i239041877-Bantayan_Island_Nature_Park_and_Resort-Bantayan_Island_Cebu_Island_Visa.html http://www.explorephilippines.org/destination/bantayan-island #BANTAYANISLAND #SANTAFE #MADRIDEJOS
