[naarnia]

[naarnia]

i'm eyeing this route for my next solo travel..

pinalakas mo loob ko sis naarnia =) at least now I know hindi pala nakakatakot sa Siquijor =)... is it safe to travel by august?

sis zaki..go go go na hehe...yun din reaction nung mga friends ko nung sinabi ko mag solo travel ako ng siquijor..baka daw nakakatakot...in the end wala akong bukambibig kundi ang ganda ng siquijor at talagang relaxing. Sa tingin ko naman safe naman siguro by august basta wala lang bagyo

[yikee]

^ ah ok sis, e di ok na ok pala.. at least kung hindi na ipapasadya ang set up, no additional charges na.. swak na swak sa surprise kay hubby for his birthday  magbabaon na langako ng petals LOL

[aNgelofThEMorning]

sis cutiepie - hinde po kayo nag-tour sa siquijor? sa resort lang po kayo?

interested sana ko sa mga tourist spot sa siquijor tsaka how much magagastos para magpaghandaan

[Oblina]

gusto ko din mag siquijor end of sept, sana naman walang bagyo nyan, baka solo flight or baka magsama ng isang single girlfriend hehe.
gusto ko sana mag solo kaso iniisip ko mahirap naman magpakuha ng magpakuha sa di kilala for the pics... hehe

[cutiepie]

Hi mommy23..glad to hear na na enjoy mo ang trip mo ganda ng siquijor no

mga sis, me and my guardian (auntie, 66 y/o) will be going to dumaguete-siquijor on september 8-10 3D, 2N.

can you help me make our itinerary considering na oldie yun kasama ko? gusto ko nga sanang puntahan yun casaroro falls pero mukhang malabo kasi baka hindi kayanin ni mommy.  as of now nga hindi pa siya pumapayag na magovernight sa siquijor. sana mapapayag ko na siya.  and dahil oldie kasama ko wala siguro kami masyadong swimming, pasyal pasyal lang sa beach. pero im planning na sa coco grove kami mag overnight sa siquijor. i checked yun coral cay, meron na ba nakapunta dun? mura din kasi yun mga rooms.

ano ba mas okay? dumaguete overnight muna kami then siquijor overnight? or siquijor muna then dumaguete yun overnight namin?

so far sis, eto yun mga gusto ko mapuntahan based sa mga nasearch and nabasa ko dito.  rizal boulevard, dumaguete belfry, siliman university, st. catherin cathedral, twin lakes of balinsasayao.

[anrol]

sis blackgreen, nag reply ako sa post mo sa dumaguete thread. 

btw, where are you staying in dumaguete?  we stayed at RM Hotel - the good thing about the hotel or Inn is that it has spa and sauna, which is really really really good . . .  they give good massage which is most welcome after trekking casororo falls.  mura din and may discount pa kung guest ng RM Inn or Hotel.

enjoy

[blackgreen]

^sis, thank you.

wala pa kami hotel. harold mansion, hotel nicanor and hotel palwa yun pinagpipilian namin ni mommy.  may number ka sis ng rm hotel?

[ileina]

^Sis, bad experience sa harold mansion.

Okay ang Hotel Palwa, they were undergoing renovations at the time we were there last June pero okay ang service nila and masarap ang breakfast.

I suggest overnight muna kayo Siquijor then Dumaguete. Kasi Dumaguete ang airport nyo pabalik, mabuti na yung sure na you're there sa city. The airport naman is very near, less than 30 mins away.

Sana nga mapapayag mo Auntie mo. Maganda mag overnight sa Coco Grove, very relaxing yung place. I think your mommy (Auntie?) will enjoy it - the facilities are really nice and well built.

Even if you just stay there and do nothing, hehe. The beach though is not that nice, medyo rocky I think. I enjoyed the pool more.

^sis, thank you.

sis, hindi hotel yung rm - hindi kalakihan ang rooms but i really really like their spa and pwede din sa room magpamasahe, but we went to their spa sa second floor, nice ambiance and with free tea - hehe

^^thanks sis ileina, mommy tawag ko kasi sa auntie ko. sana talaga pumayag na siya. binigay ko na sa kanya yun itinerary namin di pa siya nag cocomment. hehe...

^thanks sis anrol, yung rm inn malapit lang sa downtown? walking distance lang din sa mga establishments?

[anrol]

sis blackgreen, di ko na masyadong matandaan kung gaano kalapit but i'm sure madali lang mag trike kahit saan ka pupunta, malalaki naman ang trike duon

sis hindi pwede lakarin ang RM to downtown... pero mas malapit sya sa airport...

[abianne]

haaay..buti may mga good reviews regarding siquijor.
sayang naman kasi yung ganda ng place tapos natatabunan lang ng fears natin re witchcraft etc.

mga sis, mura lang ba dito?
like transpo, food etc.

[meg1104]

Ang mura ng tickets sa PAL to Dumaguete now!!!!!! Wala pang P1800/pax ang rountrip!

Ok na ba dumating ng Sunday AM sa dumaguete airport then ferry (tama ba?) to Siquijor @ Coco Grove. Overnight there til Monday. Check out then Dumaguete again - I am thinking if worth it pa mag Antulang or City tour na lang, uwi na ng TUesday.

Or ituloy-tuloy ko na sa Coco Grove/siquijor?

[ileina]

Wow ang saya naman! Nung ako 4k ang PAL, hindi sale.

Okay lang 1 day sa Coco Grove sis, although sobrang nice dun so you can extend rin. Wala rin naman masyadong pupuntahan sa Siquijor, so you'll probably be at the resort the entire time. 1 hour lang ferry Dumaguete-Siquijor.

Dumaguete - okay ang city tour. Never been to Antulang, sorry!

[meg1104]

Sis, going to Coco Grove -
di ba Dumaguete airport - port/pier?
> nag trike lang kayo? how much? madali lang ba?
tapos ferry to Siquijor.
sa Siquijor port/pier - go to Coco Grove resort
> trike lang din again? madali lang?
