[batang bantot]

^hi sis greenarrowbabe, i will go to Bacolod on Saturday, and kasama sa itinerary namin ang pagpunta sa Sipalay. We will be staying in Punta Bulata. Share ko dito experience ko after my trip.

When alis mo? 

[greenarrowbabe]

aw. sayang. sa 23 pa ang alis ko. solo traveler pa ko.

please share sis!  although nagdadalawang isip pa ko kung tutuloy ako sa sipalay.

[batang bantot]

^hi sis, natuloy ka ba sa trip mo?

Just got back from Bacolod Trip. I had fun foodtripping!

Went thered saturday night, we had dinner at Manokan County. Thanks to the sisses here we ate in Aida's. Hubby and I enjoyed their inasal. Ang laki ng serving ng rice!! After dinner, nag nightlife kami ni hubby sa MO2 Bar, madalas ito nare-recommend ng mga tiga Silay kaya nag try kami. It was nice may option ka kung sa disco mo gusto or sa acoustic side ng bar.

The next day we went to the ruins, the place is also nice may entrance ito na 100 ata or 90 per head. Then we went to Calea to try their coffee and cake, thanks to waze yung tinuro niya sa loob ng Robinsons Place hehe. Nagtaka pa kami ni hubby asa mall kami. And then we bought pasalubong sa Merci. We went first sa Pendy's pero hindi nagustuhan ni hubby yung mga items dun.

We stayed in O Hotel for our city tour. I must say it is highly recommended. Good staff, great food! We paid Php 1600 per night and their breakfast offer is buffet! Lamon pa more hehe!

We also went to Mambukal Resort. Hindi ko masyado na enjoy kasi umulan. They do not have their own resto but there are eateries inside. The staff was not accommodating we went there earlier pero sabi niya 2pm ang check-in. We waited for 2pm, and just sit in their office 10 minutes before 2. Wala, i guess they do not allow early check-in. Pero nainis ako nung 2pm na may sumabay sa akin na walk-in na government employee inuna niya pa sa amin. Saka lang niya pina check rooma after i said na it is already 2:05 pm. Anyhow, the resort is huge. After the rain we went to their pools, to the dipping pool, the japanese pool is too hot! If you are a nature love you will enjoy this place. Habang asa pool ka maraming bats! Ako hindi masyado nature lover natatakot ako hehe.

Lastly we went to Punta Bulata. The resort is superb! Nice place, nice sand, nice pool! The staff were all approachable. Talagang pang relax ito kasi tahimik yung place. Sana nag 3 days kami dito kasi they offer tour to Danjugan Island, one day activity din yun. From here, you will ride a bus for 4 hours. Ang layo!! Pero maganda naman ang place kaya okay lang.

People in Bacolod are really nice, naiwan namin tripod sa taxi buti we had the taxi driver's number. Binalik naman niya sa amin

pa help nan sa itinerary namin,

3 days kami sa bacolon june 16 7am til 18 8pm , balak namin puntahan silay heritage tours, campuestohan, the ruins, mambukal, bacolod city tour and food trip

ask ko lang,
1. ano maganda, upon arrival sa airport ng 7am silay heritage tour na or yung pauwi na lang na june 18 , 8pm flight namin?

2. if 7am arrival ang heritage tour, from airport, ano pwede sakyan sa silay city para sa heritage tour? at kung saan sasakay doon papuntang bacolod city at how much?

3. after heritage tour around 11am ano mas maganda unahin campuestohan o mambukal?

4. saan namin pwede isingit ang the ruins, balak sana namin hapon yung the ruins kasi mas maganda daw sa sunset

[ohcmon]

^Hi sis!

1. IMO, pauwi na lang ang Silay heritage tour para diretso na kayo sa airport after. 'Yun nga lang, you'd have to go around with your luggages, though madali lang naman ang commute from Bacolod to Silay.

2. May shuttle vans from the airport to Bacolod. Can't remember lang how much.

3. I didn't go to Campuestohan, but in Mambukal, if you plan to swim or hike, you might want to allot a whole day for this, esp. since malayo-layo siya from Bacolod kung mag-bus kayo.

4. The best time to visit is when the sun sets nga. Mga 5PM punta na kayo. Magical 'yung place talaga 'pag sunset. I didn't want to leave around 6:30 but I was alone and was being cautious kasi 'yung daan papunta talahiban.

Suggestion ko sis sa question 1 mo, if you won't mind commuting from Bacolod to Silay and vice versa, you can actually do this whenever you feel like it hehe. Malapit lang sila. One bus ride lang from Bacolod to Silay, around 20 mins, tapos pabalik salin lang kayo ng dalawang jeep. Pwede na after niyo sa Silay, saka kayo magpunta sa Ruins. May kainitan nga lang kung hapon kayo maglibot pero madadaanan na kasi 'yun.

may tricycle tour ba sa silay heritage houses/museum?

[ohcmon]

^ Pedicabs are everywhere so I'm sure makakakontrata kayo someone to wait for you and take you around, though magkakalapit lang naman kasi the ancestral houses so kung hindi naman issue sa inyo ang maglakad-lakad, you can do a walking tour instead.

[nicedc]

thank you ohcmon, very helpful ng thread na ito, last na lang  paano pumunta sa bacolod new govt center, saan ko siya pwede isingit tour namin like kung pwede bago pumunta ng the ruins?  may malibutan pa ba o sikat na kainan malapit dito?

[ohcmon]

^ Where are you staying sis? Sa bayan ang government center, medyo malayo siya sa Ruins kasi sa Talisay na ito, but possible naman puntahan both. Maraming cabs and pedicabs sa city. Nagpedicab ako noong una but nascam ako (long story, basta the driver was charging me 200 for about 300m distance) kaya I stuck to cabs and jeepneys after that.

Malapit sa government center ang Negros Museum. Hanggang Saturday lang yata siya open bcs I went there on a Sunday and it was closed. The Negros Museum Cafe, however, was open. Ito ang number 1 sa lahat ng mga kinainan ko sa Bacolod (and there were a LOT ). Malapit din sa government center and Manokan County.

[ohcmon]

^ Yes sis. L'Fisher naman pala kayo, sa gitna ng lahat 'yan saka along the road na dinadaanan ng jeepneys. Jeep-jeep lang kayo. Also sulitin ang Calea dahil katapat niyo lang hehe :p

Hi, our estimated time of arrival in bacolod is around 6-7 am, do you know any hotel/inn that accepts early check-in? Thanks in advance!

[baleleng]

May masa-suggest ba kayo na itinerary for a 4D 3N stay? ETA in Bacolod is around 5:30-ish AM and our flight back to Manila is around 3pm. I was thinking maybe we can insert a beach trip (Sugar Beach), if it is possible? Thanks in advance! 

[shraen]

Open na po ba ang manokan country ng 7AM ?

[cutiepie]

hello! me and my parents (both seniors) are going to bacolod this january for 3 days. Meron ba kayong marerecommend na care rental with driver? i am thinking of commuting pero baka kasi mahirap sila. we are going to stay sa o hotel. walking distance lang ba sa mga sights? thank you in advance 

[shraen]

^ hi! nag rent kami ng car sa Paliparan Transport & Travel Services. okay naman sa kanila. wala naman kami naging problem

[sleepy_grfld]

Went here a couple of times. Official trips nga lang. Sarap nga mag-food trip dito. Favorite ko ang seafood restaurant sa Balaring sa Silay. Mas gusto ko ang Felicia's kesa sa Calea. Yung boss ko naman, lagi bumibili/nagpapabili ng cashew pie ng El Ideal sa Silay.
