I discovered this hidden paradise when I was researching places to stay in Bantayan Island. The location of the resort is technically in the middle because it is more or less 8 kilometers away from Sta Fe, Bantayan town proper and Madridejos. If you're looking for a peace of mind this is the perfect place for you because the park is situated on a very secluded location. This isn't just a regular resort because from the name itself it does have a park on it. I listed the things you could try during your visit either an overnight trip or just a day tour.
BANTAYAN ISLAND NATURE PARK and RESORT is an 8-hectare wellness and leisure hideaway location in Tami-ao, Bantayan, Bantayan isalnd, North of Cebu Province, Philippines. The Nature Park showcases the local flora and fauna of the island and mini-zoo with its caves and secluded nooks, guests can spend a quiet time with nature, relax and listen to a cacophony of birds singing in the background.

You gather them, They will cook them for you. Also they have "Tañon Point" this poolside restaurant specializes in Filipino cuisine and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and its open daily.
Sto. Nino Cave is named as that since a statue of the beloved Sto. Nino was spotted inside upon its discovery. It is a larger cave, it is filled with freshwater that one can lavishly swim in. With its gorgeous lighting, it gives the impression of yellow to orange luminescence that one can stare in awe.

The establishment faces Eastward, meaning that it offers a stunning sight of the sunrise.
