A few weeks ago my brother treated our family to a weekend at the small but luxurious Kandaya Resort in Daan Bantayan, Cebu.
From Cebu City it was about 4 hours drive to Daan Bantayan which is essentially on the tip of Cebu Island. We took the scenic route on the west side of Cebu to avoid the traffic and have a more relaxing drive.
The rooms in the resort are either separate villas or a room in the main building.
The main building
We stayed at a garden villa. There were also villas facing the sea, which I would guess is the more expensive ones.
Our garden villa. You can borrow that bike to bike around the resort
Our room had a very nice bathroom with a view of a private backyard.
They had a lot of activities you could do. There was a billiards room, there as an indoor and outdoor gym, there was a boxing ring and a full sized basketball court, and they even had horseback riding.
In the water, you can do kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, or even sailing.
Mostly we just swam at the heated pool.
The great thing about the resort is since it is on the northern point of the island you can see both the sunrise and sunset. Didn't wake up for the sunrise but here's the sunset.
Really nice place to relax and recharge. You could go the lazy route and just lounge around the beach or the pool, or have a long bath at their really nice bathrooms, or you could be more active and do the countless activities there. Personally I did a bit of both. Would highly recommend the place :)
