See the majestic church standing at the Bantayan Public Plaza. A market thrives near the square, the backbone of the affluent town. Close to the pier and the nearby islands, the plaza is known as a serene spot with benches and patches of shade trees. Spend the afternoon reading a book in a sunny spot and watching people go by. The large plaza is split into several sections, including two basketball courts and woodland areas. Take part in one of the regular events that occur in the square. These include games of basketball and fitness and dance activities, such as Zumba. Admire the elegant stone façade of the Sts. Peter and Paul Parish Church on the eastern flank of the plaza. Note the sculptures on either side of the main entrance and the square windows above it. Enter through the small arches carved into its large brown portal to see the spacious nave. The church is among the oldest buildings on the island. Its separate bell tower has a more modern design. Light the candles to accompany your prayers and wishes and attend one of the daily Mass ceremonies for an understanding of local practices. A little southeast is the Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel. Relax at a café or small restaurant surrounding the square. Local specialties focus on dried fish, noodles and various herbs and spices. Find a shady bench for a picnic with your family and friends and inspect the statue that marks the park’s centre. Stroll along the Bantayan Municipal Wharf west of the square and appreciate the views of the sea and the island of Panangatan. Purchase fish, fruits and vegetables from the rows of stalls that make up Bantayan Public Market. The Bantayan Public Plaza is in its eponymous region in the southwestern part of the island. Get around the small area on foot and arrive here from other sections of the island by car. At the northeastern corner of the plaza is the Bantayan Post Office. ## Plan a trip to see Bantayan Public Plaza Price found within the past 48 hours.

(60 reviews) Love this place!! But realize…this isn’t a hotel. It’s a Bed & Breakfast…which to me, is so much better!! During the day we had a wonderful lady take care of us. When we woke up she had a wonderful French press coffee for us, made a great breakfast. Provided anything we needed. Our deck was so peaceful in the morning. Waking up, opening up the French doors and listening to the waves. We loved it so much that we stayed an extra day! It’s not a restaurant and definitely not a bar. So forget about that. Breakfast was great but beyond that we walked 2 minutes down the beach and found some great ocean side places with all sorts of choices. Pool needs a good cleaning as it’s a bit murky. This place is about absolute peace. It’s our new getaway location when we need to get out of Cebu city. Oh, and my wife’s fav was the big bathtub. Bring some bath salts and enjoy! Or 15 min away are the natural hot springs. Loved it all!
