Estaca Bay fka Stakili Beach Resort in Compostela Cebu

Estaca Bay Gardens Conference Resort - Compostela, Cebu

If you are from Cebu, my guess is you have been there. This used to be one of our beach destinations when we were younger. Back then, there were no swimming pools and no rooms to stay for a night or two. This popular beach resort in Compostela Cebu was formerly known as Stakili Beach Resort, now known as Estaca Bay Gardens Conference Resort, situated at KM 23, Estaca, Compostela, Cebu just an hour away (more or less) from Cebu City, depending on traffic.

The cottage area at Estaca Bay Gardens and Conference Resort is now more spacious compared to a few years back. Cottages are now fixed at the corners. There used to be a videoke machine at the beach front but it has been phased out. There's music there that livens up your stay at the resort.

Estacay Bay Gardens and Conference Resort - I like it that they separated the rooms from the cottages' area. If you want a quiet time and just relax and enjoy the scenery, then definitely, you need to get a room and book a night or two.
