Yooneek Beach Resort Bantayan Island Cebu

Long beach. Long walk. And.. it was a pretty long day for me on my first day in Bantayan Island Cebu City, Philippines. Having a great help from one of the locals Kuya Tata Paccial, I was able to get a reasonably priced room for the night. Mind you, we checked all the affordable hotels in the island lol. Good thing Kuya Tata was very patient with my budget lol. And the winner is.. 

Yooneek Beach resort!

Beach front hotel in the shoreline of Sta. Fe Bantayan Island captured my need as a backpacker plus my wants as a traveler. Being there for the first time wouldn't hurt to go a little extra and make it a staycation!

They have a lot of rooms for groups and also for honeymooners or for couples but I got the best one that day. With all the travels I've gone, I have to say its the best hotel room I've stayed in. What more can I ask for? homey feeling because of the Nipa hut design and structure, clean and neat washroom, 2nd floor with no neighbor, veranda facing the beach, its like staying in a peaceful haven.

It's just a few minutes motor ride from the port and you can even walk from the hotel to the town where you can buy pasalubong and dine. They also offer food but their kitchen closes by 7pm so the time I woke up after the tiring walk, I needed to take a walk for dinner. But it's quite fine because its very very safe. A little dark along the way but I got my mobile phone fully charged so I just turned on my flashlight and there are also some tourist that walked with me.

Staff are friendly too and they're very polite everytime I ask them details about the island. The following day, I didnt hesitate to take a plunge into the awesome sea. Oh its really relaxing and I can't even describe how I felt soaking my self in the clear beach. I felt uhmm beautiful. lol. nakakaganda and waters lol. And since it was a weekday, there's a minimal number of beach bummers so I mostly enjoyed it by myself. 

I simply recall that morning when I got up and just saw that beach from my window. sigh. makes me wanna go back there. I'll just let the photos speaks for it self. It a great first day in Cebu City! I highly recommend this hotel for family trips or group glamcation! It's also perfect for people like me who, ahem, moving on. Finding ones self. Just needed a place to breathe and escape from the hussle of the concrete jungle of the suburbs.
