When you see a rainbow, how does it make you feel? The first word that comes to mind is probably – feeling happy. Yup! Those beautiful rainbow colors make you feel light and just giddy, I know you know what I’m talking about. We all love seeing rainbows after a rain shower. It’s so pretty up in the sky!
And here we have a beach resort in Bantayan, that’ll give you that same emotion – Jelly’s Haven Resort. We’ve written about a couple of resorts in Bantayan and this resort, in particular, stands out from the rest – because I feel like they’re complete when it comes to amenities.
The resort gives off that Moroccan-Boho vibes with all the colors and decors – colorful umbrellas and cute teepees. They almost got it all – proper and spacious rooms, good food, booze, nightlife, a gym, and the sweet view of the white sandy beach and clear blue waters of Bantayan. Sheesh!
Spot on, it’s a good place to stay for digital nomads and other freelancers like myself – beach and wifi, that’s all we need. Looking at their photos makes me kilig and have heart eyes! I’m sure you guys get that too! Plus you can get a good work out in their gym even while on vacation. Well not really for me, I’m already living a vacation kind of life. ♡
Jelly’s Haven Resort has accommodations that’ll cater to couples and even larger groups. Personally, I’d go and sleep in one of their tents – after the fun night I know I’d have for shizzle. You can request to have a special dinner set up for your big group or surprise your significant other with a romantic candle-lit dinner by the sea.
For me, I’ll drink and dance the night away. Ahhh! You can never go wrong with booze, the beach, and good music with your friends and family! I guess some people who go to Bantayan, come to their restobar at night just to party. Which is great – more people means more fun!
The place is ideal for taking lots of nice IG/ Blog-worthy photos. Also, it’s a nice venue for parties and events, functions, proposals and sunset weddings. Yup! I’m going to go ahead crochet my wedding dress, drink up a whole bottle of wine and be mesmerized by the sunset on their beach. Just kidding about the wedding dress, y’all! 😉
I really love the beach in Bantayan – it’s really beautiful and looks peaceful. Especially when the beach isn’t too crowded. I love to enjoy a quiet beach, just lay there and soak up the sun. I wish to come back and visit as soon as possible! Jelly’s Haven Resort would be on my list on where I’d stay for a night.
I wanna try their foodies and have a margarita after! Plus lots and lots of dancing the night away under the big beautiful moonlight on my bare feet. Don’t even get me started on how amazing the night sky is in there, hundreds and thousands of stars shining up there.
If you don’t want to go drinking, or you don’t drink at all – stargazing is a must in here. It will absolutely take your breath away and make you forget about everything else (your worries and all that) and just fall in love with life.
