Basilia Guest House

Basilia Guest House is a homestay on F. Roska Street in Santa Fe, the main jump-off town for Bantayan Island, a popular spot for beaches and island-hopping in northern Cebu. Staying in a homestay here means a more personal, small-scale setup compared to a large hotel, with guests typically sharing space in a family-run property rather than a commercial complex. The Santa Fe location keeps guests close to the town's ferry terminal, beaches, and eateries, useful for those visiting Bantayan on a tight schedule. It has built a solid reputation early on, with an 8.8 out of 10 rating from three reviews. For travelers wanting a modest, homely base near Santa Fe's beaches and port, Basilia Guest House is a reasonable option to consider.
