Memories of Bantigue Cove Resort on Malapascua Island Circa 2010
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.
A nice panoramic view of Bantigue Cove.
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.

I'm starting to think I need to sneak in a suit case of yours. Just kidding you don't need a third wheel :) I wish I could travel but it's just not in my cards unfortunately. I love the looks of the white sand beaches. Things I only see in dreams or on television
Hehe, you're not the first person to say that. Back when I was single, male and female followers on my blog kept on saying they wanted to be my personal assistant. Like they were willing to be my photographer and carry my bags. Because every month, I was always going anywhere.
Your images remind me of my picnic trips. These places are suitable for camping and gathering with friends in the evening. Drink a little beer and eat grilled items by the fire. I think it is very happy. I really like this place @itravelrox.
Yes, the island is very nice to chill, and have a drink, during sundown. :) You can visit this island once you are in Cebu, Philippines.
You are so beautiful in your pictures. The resort and the beach are wonderful.
Thank you. Back when I was younger. Indeed, the island of Malapascua is beautiful.
