Al Faro Cosmio Hotel Bar and Pool

A hilltop bar, restaurant and pool at the end of the peninsula across from Busuanga Bay Lodge, with sunset views over Pearl Bay and cold beer; the cruisers' favourite.
Practical
Hackingfamily: cheaper than BBL, no fee to use their dinghy dock, accepts GCash payment (useful since there are no ATMs near the bay); during quiet periods staff sometimes shopped for yachts when buying for the restaurant (ask nicely, tip well). Cruising World (2025) calls it El Faro: by far the most popular of the three small resorts that welcome yachts, with a steep hike up. OpenStreetMap: Al Faro Cosmio Hotel.
