[yndy]

^^sis yndy, ngarag talaga yan kasi malapascua nasa north tapos ang simala naman nasa south. second day nyo na lang city tour then last day simala para may pahinga kayo kahit papano

thanks sa suggestion sis! ano ba sa 3 ang maganda: malapascua, bantayan, camotes? yung hindi mabato sana.

good news mga sis may car na yong friend ko & pwede syang hire para sa city tour, good for 4 pax.

sis 2 lang kami ni hubby by jan... pwede kaya 2 lang for the city tour?

[rocky]

^malapascua ok lang yan sis kesa mag-taxi kayo sa city tour. relay ko na lang sa kanya sakaling gusto nyo syang i-hire.

[yndy]

^ thanks sis! july pa naman hopefully budget friendly siya

any suggestions ng budget friendly but nice resort in malapascua?

[rocky]

^sa blue corals kami dati nag-stay sis, maganda yong room & location

[yndy]

^ thanks sis... mukhang OK siya...

Q: may nakalagay na van/boat from airport - maya - resort - airport... paano ba papunta ng malapascua... dunno pero parang medyo pricey yung fee... may iba pa bang way?

kasi nakalagay dun..

Van (From Airport to Maya Port)        2 - 4 Person   2,800.00 Pesos    
Boat (From Maya to Resort)                 Day trip           1000.00 Pesos

so kung A/C room... malapascua alone... ang laki na ng damages...
    
edited to add...

found this... http://www.malapascua-celtis-resort.com/prices.html 1200.00/night for 2pax with A/C relatively new and ok ang reviews online... how about our GT sisses? any reviews sa Hotel Celtis?

[rocky]

^hindi ko sya napansin sis sa beachfront baka nasa looban yan & lalakad ka pa papuntang beach.

ito yong way pag nag-commute ka sis

kagagaling ko lang ng malapascua last november, hindi ko napansin iyang celtis, maybe hindi siya beachfront,

if marami kayo, better rent a van kasi nakakastressed ang biyahe sa bus, non-aircon kasi tapos ang tagal pa, as in 4 hours talaga, ill check my notebook later para masabi ko sa iyo iyong fare ng bus papuntang maya

thanks sis! sige i'll stick with blue corals na lang

@ eeatrice... sis medyo magastos ang van eh.. 2 lang kami ni hubby papunta and we're on a budget din kasi. hoping to spare 8-10k for the trip pero wala naman ako balak ubusin siya... and medyo ang bigger portion ata ay mapupunta sa accommodations and fares... next is yung food and then yung activities...

sis rocky kaya ba ang 8k for 2 pax 3days/2nights?

[rocky]

^kung tipid mode talaga kayo sis pwede ko ring recommend sa inyo yong mike & diose, nasa 600 lang yong fan room nila good for 2 pax na yon may kasama ng breakfast. last year don ako nag-stay, 1k lang lahat ginastos ko overnight & solo lang ako.

tama si sis eeatrice nakakapagod talaga yong bus ride kasi nga non-aircon pero worth it naman

[cartman]

sis rocky mga 6 kame eh pero baka 3 lang mag tour kasi un 3 gabi pa flight nila sa february kame punta. wala pa ako na bubuo iti hehe.

[yndy]

@ sis rocky thanks sis.. malayo pa naman may time pa mag ipon... pero ayun nga i think worth it naman yung travel.. wala na ata tatalo sa sorsogon trip namin before na more than 12 hours by land and 2 hours by boat... and maaga naman ang byahe namin.

btw how long ang byahe namin from the airport to the northern bus terminal?

[cartman]

which is better malapascua or bantayan? kasi pipili lang kame ng isa dun at yun lang pupuntahan namen. maihahanay ba siya sa mga beach sa coron or el nido sa kagandahan? kasi kung hindi kakalimutan na lang namen mag beach.lol

[rocky]

^sis cartman, kung 3 kasya kayo. post mo na lang flight mo & kung san nyo gustong pumunta. try kitang tulungan sa IT mo. wag mo ng i-compare sis yong beach ng palawan kasi hindi mo ma-appreciate ang cebu pag ganon

^^around 30 minutes, depende rin kung anong oras byahe nyo kasi matraffic sa cebu

help please!
my hubby & i will be in cebu on this weekend dec 2-4 and i haven't booked our hotel yet. i can't decide - i am torn between parklane & crown regency.  this is our 2nd time in cebu; 1st time was way back in 2006 and we stayed in parklane. It was okay but we got the cheapest room and we found the room & bed too small; other than that - the food & service were okay.

i want to try another hotel this time but i am afraid to make a mistake - we have tried parklane before so i would know what to expect. to those who tried crown regency hotel towers, i would appreciate your feedback on the room, bed, food & service. i tried to backread but mostly the comments were about the activities there like skyride (?) but not much on the hotel itself.

hope somebody can help me decide; i need to book a room asap. thanks so much!

crown regency have the best beds in all the hotel beds in cebu city   food is so-so, pricey. service is ok lang din naman.

[cartman]

thanks sis rocky na pm na kita. hehe. nag susurvey ako kung saan mag oki shangrila mactan or plantation bay - plan namen mag day tour sa isa dyan. parang mas madami oki review sa shang mactan.

[cartman]

mga sis na naka pag cebu na, alin sa 3 na ito ang may pinaka magandang beach/island> malapascua, camotes or bantayan island? kasi need ko lang pumili ng isa dyan mag kakalayo sila diba at 3 days lang kasi kame sa cebu. alin kaya sa kanila ang pinaka worth puntahan kahit magastusan kame at least sulit...

[niteowl1]

good news mga sis may car na yong friend ko & pwede syang hire para sa city tour, good for 4 pax.

hi sis, how much yung rate nya and what places yung iikutan ng tour? TIA!

[rocky]

^2k yong city tour sis. ask ko pa sya kung ano yong inclusion kasi ngayon pa lang sya mag-start ng tour.

[niteowl1]

^thanks sis, pa update nalang kami pag sumagot na sya.

[foruiz]

I am planning to go to Cebu for the January festival, and I want to see Bantayan too. I guess I will just have to skip the city tour since I have been there before...I heart Cebu. I can't wait to be back =)) Sana nga lang may cheap tickets pa
