Cebu/Mactan/Bantayan Guide [Thread 12]

[rocky]

^tama sis 3 hour lang by bus pero dapat madaling-araw kayo umalis para mga 6am start na kayo. kasi sabi ng friend ko na kagagaling lang don, sobrang dami ng tao lalo na pag weekend. di ko lang sure kung pwede bata kasi maliit lang yong boat nila.

^^sis ilovetigger, isang option din yang mactan island hopping pero iba pa rin ganda ng bantayan

[kryzteta]

hi sis, solo travel ka dyan sa cebu dba? saang hotel ka nag-stay? kwento ka dito tungkol sa mga nalibot mo ha, at kung ok ba ang mga taxi drivers. will go to cebu next next week kasi at ako lang din mag-isa. hehe

[rocky]

^sis, ok naman mga taxi driver don. minsan lang pag papuntang mactan tatagain ka kasi wala silang pasahero pabalik ng city. pero kung sa city ka lang insist mo meter.

[slurpee]

rocky, usually ba magkano ang taxi from the airport papuntang city and pabalik? para may idea ako. hehe salamat!

[rocky]

^around 200 sis

[foxy_girlfriend]

thanks sis rocky! may overnight place ba sa oslob? kasi we decided to drop other island hopping tours dahil may bata. since we are bent on oslob for the butanding why not stay at oslob. worth kaya magstay don? ok lang ba yung beach na pwedeng maglaro yung bata? no big waves, gente slope etc.

Is sumilon island a good option kasi parang 30mins lang daw from oslob?

[matetreyes]

sis sumilon is 30 minutes away from oslob, kaya lang may boat ride. like from bancogon port you'll take the boat ride na around 15 minutes lang naman. i think may sched din yung boat nila. why not stay the whole time at sumilon na lang? kasi you can also do butanding encounter there. believe me, it's the same butanding na ma-eencounter nyo in oslob. kinukwento kasi yan sa amin nung gen. manager ng sumilon bluewater dati. tawag nila dun, mga alaga nila, hehe. like they will refer to the butandings as yung "apat na alaga" namin. may isa daw dun baby butanding pa lang, yung isa naman kasing laki ng bus. but they eat tiny shrimps lang, hehe. cute!

[foxy_girlfriend]

^sayang ngayon ko lang nalaman about sumilon being near oslob. yung budget namin mas priority sa cebu city. we thought day trip lang kami sa oslob. I saw the OAP blog and your blog and sumilon was really nice...

[matetreyes]

thanks sissy. nice sa sumilon, tahimik and super clear ng water. as in kahit from the cliffs, kita yung malalaking isda sa tubig. naamaze dun anak ko hehe

[lg34]

hello mga sis! suki ako ng gtalk matagal na, pero tagabasa lang. hehe. badly need help na kaya decided to finally create an account so i can ask. punta kasi family (6 adults, 1 infant, 1 3-yr old kid) namin cebu this mar11-13. gusto sana namin stay sa budget hotel lang pero yung may pool sana. ambisyosa ba? naghanap na kasi ako online wala akong makita na swak sa budget namin e. magbabakasakali lang po if meron may alam sa inyo.

right now kasi we are considering two options:
1. Day 1 - relax sa pool ng budget hotel
    Day 2 - city tour
    Day 3 - balik na sa Manila

2. Day 1 - city tour
    Day 2 - day tour sa malapit lang sa city na resort
    Day 3 - balik na sa Manila

Dahil may kasama kaming mga bata, mas gusto sana namin yung Option 1. Thanks sa any suggestions. 

[rocky]

^sis, karamihan ng hotel sa city walang pool. bakit hindi na lang kayo mag-resort sis kung yon ang habol mo? try mo sa portofino or tambuli beach resort, nasa mactan yan malapit lang sa airport

[dBum]

^hehe! parang manila lang talaga sis plus the traffic. saka super init jan

shocks, super init nga. i didnt expect yun init na ganon. dibale sana kung nasa beach ka.

hi sis, solo travel ka dyan sa cebu dba? saang hotel ka nag-stay? kwento ka dito tungkol sa mga nalibot mo ha, at kung ok ba ang mga taxi drivers. will go to cebu next next week kasi at ako lang din mag-isa. hehe

yes sis. summit circle sa may fuente osmena, nakituloy ako sa friend ko. well, di ako masyado nakapaglibot di ko na-enjoy ang trip ko, sad to say. kase gumawa ako ng IT ko before ako pumunta, pero pagdating ko sabi ng friend ko sasamahan nya ako. ang nangyari, ilang beses sya inatake ng hika. panay tulog. gusto ko man sana sya iwan para maglibot ako mag-isa, di ko magawa. kase before sya matulog sinasabi nya na "mamaya pupunta tayo sa ganito ganyan" wow napasarap tulog nya.

napuntahan ko lang was sky adventure. nag sky walk kame. tapos cebu cathedral, sto. nino church and magellan's cross. oh pati the terraces. kaso kumain lang kame don. i tried their lechon, sarap kahit walang sauce. also, di ko pinalampas ang casa verde. nabigla ako sa laki ng serving. di ako umabot sa dessert dahil di ko naubos yun ribs nila sa laki.

boring ng trip ko no?!

[foxy_girlfriend]

sis lg34 magkano budget mo? we are going to stay for 2 nights sa crown regency hotel & towers sa fuente may pool don. nakuha namin siya ng 5440 net for 2 nights with breakfast na pero for 2 lang. if you want, get 2 rooms and with 1 extra bed each (or sneak in na lang hehe )

[rocky]

^^korek sis super init jan kahit minsan dito sa manila bagyo na. pag umuuwi nga ako kahit di ako naliligo sa dagat, ang itim ko eh. fave ko talaga yang brian's rib & nakakatuwa kasi daming serving tapos mura lang pasaway pala yong friend mo, yan talaga ang prob pag may kasama ka kaya minsan mas gusto kong magsolo na lang para kaw lang nagdedesisyon kung san mo gustong pumunta

[helloness]

Hi Girls, I've been to Bantayan and the best and Tristan's Pizza! PRomise di ka magsisi! So give it a try!

sis, aside sa crown regency that was mentioned above na may pool eh sa Mango Park Hotel at Cebu Grand Hotel may pool din sila pero hindi masyadong malaki, tamang tama lang.  Between the two (Mango Park and Cebu Grand Hotel) mas type ko ang Cebu Grand kasi the rooms are spacious and the rate is hindi naman nagkakalayo sa Mango Park.
