Last week, we finally got a chance to visit North Shore Beach Resort in Paypay, Daanbantayan, and honestly, it was a total surprise how amazing it turned out to be. I went there for a birthday party with our band, so I didn’t think the place would be that amazing. The moment we got there, it felt like we were in a super chill paradise. The vibes were like Malapascua—really calm, relaxed, and perfect if you just want to get away from all the noise and stress.
The first thing that caught my eye was how unique the resort looked. The walls were decorated with old-style designs that looked like they had stories to tell. Some were rustic, some artistic, but all of them gave the resort a personality that made it feel different from the usual beach spots. It was one of those places where you just stop and think, “Wow, someone really cared about the details here.” The space around the resort wasn’t crowded at all, which made it feel like we had our own little slice of paradise.
Walking toward the beach, the ocean immediately caught my eye. The water was super clear, the sand was soft, and the breeze felt perfect for just relaxing. You could walk along the shore for hours and let your thoughts drift with the waves. When the sun started setting, the sky turned all kinds of orange and pink, making the whole beach feel even more magical. And if swimming in the ocean isn’t your thing, no worries—there’s a swimming pool too. The combination of the pool and beach made it feel like the perfect setup for any type of beach day, whether you’re there with friends, family, or solo just to chill.
Even though we didn’t get to stay overnight, or try all the food and rooms, I can honestly recommend North Shore Beach Resort to anyone looking for a cool escape in northern Cebu. The atmosphere is relaxing, peaceful, and just the right amount of lively to keep things interesting. I’m already planning my overnight trip, because waking up to the sound of waves, taking an early swim, and sipping coffee while watching the sunrise sounds like heaven.
If you love beaches that are calm yet full of personality, with a little pool action, artsy wall vibes, and the option for spontaneous music moments, this is your spot. North Shore Beach Resort isn’t about fancy luxuries—it’s about feeling at home, letting go of stress, and enjoying the simple beauty of the sea.
If you’re planning a trip to Daanbantayan or anywhere in northern Cebu, you should definitely add this resort to your list. Whether it’s just for a quick day trip or an overnight stay, the place has the most relaxed beach vibes. It’s perfect for taking photos, walking along the shore, or just chilling and enjoying the quiet beach atmosphere.
Honestly, I can’t wait to go back and experience more of it. The first visit was already unforgettable, and I know that spending a full day—or even a night—here will be next-level amazing. North Shore Beach Resort is a hidden gem that deserves a spot on every Cebu beach lover’s travel map, and I’m so glad I got to see it for myself.
