How to Get to Marlins Beach Resort from the Airport

Getting to Marlins Beach Resort from the nearest airport, Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB), involves a journey to the northern part of Cebu island and then a ferry to Bantayan Island. The airport transfer service of Marlins Beach Resort can help arrange seamless transfers. Here's how to get to Marlins Beach Resort:

  • Private Transfer:

    The most convenient option is to arrange a private car transfer directly from Mactan-Cebu International Airport to the Hagnaya Port (approximately a 3-4 hour drive). From Hagnaya Port, you will take a ferry to Santa Fe Port on Bantayan Island (around 1-1.5 hours). Upon arrival at Santa Fe Port, a tricycle or a short taxi ride will take you to Marlins Beach Resort. The cost for a private car transfer can range from AUD $100-150, with ferry tickets costing approximately AUD $5-10 per person.
  • Public Transport:

    You can take a taxi or a ride-hailing service from the airport to the Cebu North Bus Terminal. From there, catch a bus bound for Hagnaya Port. The bus journey takes approximately 4-5 hours. From Hagnaya Port, take the ferry to Santa Fe Port, and then a tricycle to the resort. This is a more budget-friendly option, with bus fares around AUD $5-10 and ferry tickets similar to the private transfer.
  • Airport Shuttle:

    While there isn't a direct shuttle to Hagnaya Port, you can arrange for a shuttle service that can take you to the bus terminal or directly to the port. Inquire with your chosen airport transfer services for availability and pricing.

We had a beachfront room with balcony. Room is clean although the bathroom has sewer smell once in a while and some fixtures needs replacement as getting old and rusty. Staff is very friendly. Buffet breakfast is just ok. The location is close to many restaurants but still the area feels private and quiet. The beach is very nice and feels private.

I honestly wasn't expecting much from the property since it was still available while the other lodging places in the area were sold out. All I can say is that I am very impressed with everything, from service, to how everything looked, food was also great. They also offer pick up and drop off service which was a huge plus. I will come back and I highly recommend this place! 5/5!

The menu is limited- I stayed for 7nts, the breakfast menu did not change. I recommend variety on the menu. The ramp railing to go down the beach gets very hot, I slipped and fell because the railing was extremely hot. I recommend wrapping the railing with something to prevent it from getting very hot.,
