Back in 2010, we were able to visit Bantigue Cove Resort. It was one of the most expensive resorts on the island. From Bounty Beach, we have to walk to the other side of the island. It was all worth it going there. It is secluded and you can have privacy.
Bantigue Cove
According to ilink.ph:
Bantigue Cove is a romantic island retreat nestled between palm-fringed coves where the locals fish and the quiet island life. The place is excitingly elevated on a rocky bluff looking out on the pristine turquoise waters of the Visayan Sea. With a spectacular ocean vantage point, this nearly 14,000-square meter private resort sits on a secluded area of island splendor.

On our way to Bantigue Cove Resort
Back in 2010, I wasn't familiar if there were several dive shops. I wasn't into scuba diving either.
We were excited what was in store for us at Bantigue Cove.
You can see the turquoise water on the other side of the island. It was very tempting to take a dip.
The white sand beach is magnificent but you have to be careful when you walk around as you can see some dried coconut leaves, you might hurt your feet.
Bantigue Cove Resort has cottages you can stay with a nice panoramic view of the beach.
We went around to take several photos. Indeed, this place is picturesque. We had never seen other tourists but us. So the resort was empty. We couldn't find other guests.
This was an old promotional poster of Bantigue Cove Resort with mama and me.

The rocks were spelled Bantigue Cove.
I found these spot with a magnificent background view so I asked my cousin to take photos of me.
In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan struck the island of Malapascua. All structures on the island were heavily damaged and one of them was Bantigue Cove Resort.
When I returned on the island in 2015, Bantigue Cove Resort was unoperational. All cottages got destroyed as it was made of nipa huts.
As of this writing, I did some research on how's Bantigue Cove Resort. It's good to see they're back to operate, back to business.
Hoping everyone has a good time scrolling through these old photos back in 2010.
