Baigad Lagoon Beach — Attraction in Cebu

My wife and I are owners of Stargazers Bantayan Island Luxury. We visited the Baigad Lagoon with our guests and family. Everything about our day was wonderful. Starting with an enjoyable boat ride with breath taking views of the area. This is a cool way to enter the Lagoon and worth the small boat ride charge. Once we exited the boat and landed on the beautiful private beach we were amazed that private business would provide such a beautiful attraction for Tourists and local guests. I'm sure the investment far exceed the very small and justifiable charge to use this private facility. This is a business and profit is the name of the business. As I read other reviews complaining about entrance costs I think to myself what a sad bunch of Tourists we have. They come to the Philippines and complain and whine about everything. These greedy and often rude Tourists should be thankful that there is others investing in modern and comfortable facilities for their comfort. I have had the pleasure of speaking to the owners of Baigad Lagoon and can say that they both are wonderful kind and friendly people. They provide many jobs to the local economy and contribute to the overall attraction of tourism to Bantayan Island. To those that are chronic complainers and use google as your weapon to hurt others because you are really just a pathetic human being, stop trying to destroy business good name. Leaving a 1 star or 2 star review is a malicious assault on a business. When I check out profiles of those that give these low star reviews, they also give bad reviews to many others as well. This shows and reflects on the true character of the reviewer. To sum up our experience at the Baigad Lagoon the price is fair and right, the food is big portions and delicious, the drinks and frozen Cocktails are among the best on Bantayan Island. The pool is beautiful. It costs thousands of pesos every month to maintain it! My guests and family will enjoy going to the Baigad Lagoon because it is good value...

When we visited, the overall vibe of the place was great—it felt calm, welcoming, and well-managed. The area was clean, with no visible trash, and the water was clear, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

There were plenty of vacant cottages available for guests to sit and relax, so it never felt overcrowded. The entrance fee of ₱250 is quite reasonable considering the maintenance and cleanliness of the site. However, there is a re-entry fee of ₱100 (if I recall correctly), which might seem a bit strict at first. That said, it likely serves a purpose: controlling foot traffic, preventing overcrowding, and helping preserve the area by minimizing potential waste and damage from excessive tourist activity.

Overall, it’s a well-kept and peaceful spot that seems to prioritize sustainability and a positive visitor experience.

If the entrance fee is too expensive for you, better...

I had an amazing stay at Baigad Lagoon beach in Bantayan, not just because of the beautiful place but because of the incredible kindness and hospitality of the owners. They went above and beyond when I almost got scammed by a bogus island-hopping provider. Instead of just offering sympathy, they took immediate action—helping me find a trustworthy alternative so I could still enjoy my trip as planned.

Their genuine care for their guests is something you don't experience everywhere. From ensuring my safety to making sure I had the best experience possible, their hospitality was truly exceptional. If you're looking for a place in Bantayan where you’ll be treated like family, I highly recommend staying here!

One clear proof of how amazing our experience was: my little niece burst into tears when she realized we had to leave the island—she wanted to...
