You are going to miss Holy Week, so there won't be as much going on over at Bantayan Island. Catholics flock there for Holy Week because they are allowed to eat meat during the holiday by special permission from the Pope, or something like that.

Bohol has Panglao beach for swimming and such. There's also nice snorkeling out at Balicasag Island if you are into that. Check out Chocolate Hills, the Tarsier sanctuary, the Loboc River Cruise.

I would suggest also considering Boracay if you haven't been there before. That'd be my first choice over either Bohol or Bantayan.
