Cebu/Mactan/Bantayan Guide [Thread 12]

[foruiz]

Naku sana wag naman maulan sa bantayan on Jan 17-18.

Sis, need ba talaga photographers ID to get pics of Sinulog? Or is that only applicable for those joining the contest?

[rocky]

^sis alam ko ok lang kahit walang ID. pero advantage kung may kilala kang organizer para VIP kayo. sobrang daming tao during parade kaya malamang mahirap kumuha ng magandang shot.

sis danda, kahapon & ngayon mainit. pero sabi sa weather forecast cloudy bukas kasi may bagyo sa mindanao, affected ang cebu.

sis ldrwifey, try mo hotel stella or islands stay (mactan). sa resto naman, masarap baby backribs sa casa verde & masarap din food sa mooon cafe.

[chelvin26]

mga sis.. help naman sa IT, medyo matagal pa siya pero we need na magpabook agad para mas mura or malock up yung price.. eto po june 22 7:35-8:45: mla-Mactan Airport june 24:6:40-7:50pm..

A. which is much better? malapascua or bantayan? yung hindi rocky and super fine ng sand. ..
kung sa malapascua saan maganda magstay? im thinking of blue corals gusto ko beach front.
kung bantayan iniisip ko yung kota beach or sta fe beach club? kasi diba free na lang kapag doon ka nagcheck in? sa ogtong cave?

b. ano ba mas ok mga sis? day 1 day tour muna tapos day 2 beach na hanggang day 3
or day 1-day 2 beach then day 3 city tour?

c. may alam ba kayo na pwedeng marent ng day tour? yung good for 4 pax lang. ive hear sis rocky has a tour guide friend with car? ano update sis?

d. ano pa pwedeng gawin aside from city tour and beach? help mga sis,

TIA

sis ldrwifey, try mo hotel stella or islands stay (mactan). sa resto naman, masarap baby backribs sa casa verde & masarap din food sa mooon cafe.

thanks sis, yung mga hotel n nasabi mo s mactan lang sya? how about bantayan? gusto k din sanang mag day tour s shang kaya lang kinain n ng bantayan yung trip namin. kasi kung 1night lang s bantayan parang ngarag naman kami masyado nun. or its better to just forget bantayan all together and stay at cebu city, kaya lang parang ang tagal naman ng 4days to stay on cebu without exploring other places nearby. hay... peak season kasi yung punta namin kaya gusto kong maayos ng maaga.

[rocky]

^sa bantayan, sa sta. fe beach club ako nag-stay dati. yes, free entrance sa ogtong since sister company sila. IMO, mas nagustuhan ko malapascua kaso mas malayo sya.

sis chelvin26, di ko pa uli nakakausap friend ko pero sabi nya 2,500 yong daytour kasi nga bago yong car nya. kasya apat don kasi mazda 3

sa blue corals kami nag-stay last year, maganda yong location & view

[chelvin26]

ah ok sis rocky. kahit saan namin siya pwedeng papuntahin nun? or may It siya?

i am torn padin between malapascua or bantayan..

[witch_goddess]

@chelvin 26..ito opinion ko sa questions mo

A. Since I haven't been to Malapascua, I cannot compare the two but Bantayan Island is beautiful also.  Fine sands can be found in any of the resorts but Sugar Beach has the finest sands.  I think it would be better if you will stay in Kota Beach kasi you get to roam around to different resorts without paying any entrance fee.  At may sand bar pa especially pag high tide na. Malapit lang rin ang Kota Beach sa mga tindahan at kaininan. Sa Sta Fe kasi the last time we were there, ang pangit ng dagat tapos hindi malinis ang surroundings, the only treat that we enjoyed was pagbisita sa Ogtong Cave kasi wala ng entrance fee as long as you are Staying in Sta Fe. I think sister company lang sila. 

B. Mas mabuti if Day 1 city tour muna kasi most of Cebu's tourist spots are not that far.  You can reach it by travelling on a jeepney or taxi cab in few minutes.  Kasi pag beach muna baka kasi ma drain kayo at mawalan na ng gana to tour around the city.

D.  You can also try Ziplining, fishing, horse backriding at iba pa at Papa Kit's Marina and Fishing Lagoon sa Silot Bay, Poblacion Liloan, Cebu.  This is just 45 minutes or an hour away from the heart of the city.

Please check their FB page for more info: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Papa-Kits-Marina-and-Fishing-Lagoon/129999317050935?sk=wall

- Or enjoy edge coaster ride, skywalk adventure and 4D cinema viewing sa Crown Regency Hotel.  The last time we went there, we avail their package which was 800 pesos at included na yung dinner buffet.

hey guys, i need your help.. Bf and I wll go to cebu 3rd week of January (before sinulog), and it will be our first time there. may alam ba kayo na pede ma'rent na sasakyan para sa city tour? yung mura lang at masipag mgpicture! LOL. we want to try also yung rainforest park? okay ba advetures don?? napanood ko lang kasi yun sa sports unlimited ata.



Please advise. thanks!

Ay para sa akin so-so lang ang rainforest park..hindi naman kasi sya masyadong malaki eh. Just like yung zipline nila, ang short as in short lang talaga ang distance to traverse. Hindi ka mag-eenjoy kasi napakabitin.

[chelvin26]

wow sis.. thanks for the info.. hehe na enlighten na ako na dapat day 1 ang city tour:)

anyone knows na pwede irent sa touring?

[rocky]

^yong usual na kasama sa city tour except tops kasi malayo yon & parang antipolo lang yon overlooking.

[flowercondahon]

3 lang mag tour kasi un 3 gabi pa flight nila sa february kame punta. wala pa ako na bubuo iti hehe.

sis what date ka ng February? Punta din kami doon ni hubby eh...

[Crystelhues]

We're going to Cebu later.. it's my first time to travel here in the Philippines kaya super excited ako.. sa Crowne kami tutuloy until Monday.. marami na bang tao ngayon sa Cebu? 2x kasi kami magsisimba sa Sto Nino coz its my mom's bday today eh tapos nabasa ko sa isang site na may Children's Mass on Sunday kaya magsisimba ulit kami (baka sakali mabawasan kulit ng anak ko hehe)... ask ko lang mga sis, san maganda bumili ng Black Sto Nino?

Di po ba maulan ngayon sa Cebu?

[ayanlanz]

hi, subscribing now here on this thread. Last year, thru the helps of our GTalkers nakarating kami ng Bohol.  next stop is Cebu. starting to back read na rin....

question, ok po ba mag-DIY sa city tour?
how about mag-walk-in na lang sa Sky Adventures?
any affordable accommodation for 3pax na malapit sa church, malls at Crowne (sky adventure).

Di kasi ako makakita ng 2D1N tour package sa net.
we'll be in Cebu for 2-days (Sun 9am to Mon 5pm).
any suggested IT would be much appreciated. TIA!

[rocky]

^^sis Crystelhues, nong thursday maulan affected kasi cebu sa LPA kala ko nga madedelay flight ko. kahapon sabi ng mama ko maulan pa rin

[jdm1011]

hi sisses! ask ko lang which is better mag stay for one night shangrila, crimson or imperial? or mas magandang mag day tour nalang? last time I went to Cebu was last year, sa city lang kasi kami. this coming March, plan namin mag mactan area resort naman. hindi kasi kaya ang Bantayan dahil pangit flight sched namin and 2nights lang kami. sayang nga.

[mama squeak!]

^If budget is no issue, go Shangri-La. I'm a bit biased when it comes to Shangri-La     It's our favorite getaway resort. We'll be back there on the 18th for another short visit.

[jdm1011]

^ kaya nga sis.. mukhang Shangrila pa din talaga no? nako, need to save save save! yesterday, i called them nasa 8,500 ang cheapest room nila! anyway, thank you sis and enjoy your Cebu trip on 18.

and ang travel namin is april 09-12... alam ko april 09 holiday p din do you think masyado pang matao s bantayan?

[ayanlanz]

Proposed IT ko nga to my friend:
1st day- City tour with Sky Adventure
2nd Day- Tops in Busay Hill (package or DlY) then checkout/Free-time
Food trip- Casa Verde at CNT Lechon

ayan nakakabuo na ako ng itinerary.. . .
