Finally took the plunge and booked Henann Resort  :) I wanted sana Amorita kasi cheaper kaso may stairs pa pala going to the beach, baka maloka ang lola ko :p Alona Tropical naman had a few iffy reviews sa Tripadvisor. Okay lang sana kung kami lang ni hubby. But with a senior citizena and kids to think of eh pikit mata nalang pagbook sa Hennan which luckily had 2 more villas available. Yay!  :)

Thanks for the tip, sis 143angel. Maybe lola will have to stay at the beach nalang while we go island hopping. Did you go to Virgin Island pa ba with your baby or snorkeling lang then balik na?

napapanaginipan ko na trip namin, im sooo excited na talaga  ;D ;D ;D

booked 2 nights at Dumaluan Beach Resort, baka daw kasi mabitin kami sa beach sabi ni hubby kaya imbes na June 22 ng gabi kami babalik ng Cebu first ferry trip on June 23 na lang kami babalik.

mga sis, may bigla lang ako naisip. sa mga nag-avail ng sea tour, is it safe to bring your camera sa tour? kasi syempre gusto ko naman kunan ng pictures ang mga dolphin at kung pwede ang snorkelling adventures namin ni hubby  ;D. at syempre photoshoot session din sa balicasag at virgin island. naisip ko kasi na baka mabasa or kunin ng bangkero (ang sama ko no  :-\). sa experience nyo mga sis?

Hi, Fellow GTalkers.

I would like to ask for your suggestions for our short stay in Bohol. We will be there on July 21 to 23, in time for the Sandugo Festival sana (on the 22nd, I heard). On our 1st day, diretso na kami sa Countryside Tour after pick-up from the airport. Then afterwards check-in to Dumaluan Beach Resort, overnight kami doon. Come 2nd day, we will proceed to Panglao Tour naman. May nakakaalam ba dito kung ano ang activities during the Sandugo Festival? If ever daw kasi na gusto namin ma-witness yun, babalik kami kaagad sa City. Sabi kasi sa akin may streetdancing, eh naisip ko parang okay na yata na ma-miss ko yon kesa mabitin ako sa Panglao Tour namin. I scrapped the dolphin watching na nga kasi 3D/2N lang kami doon sa Bohol. July 23 back to Manila na kami in the afternoon.

Ano po ba ang suggestions nyo, sisses? Dapat mauna na lang ang Panglao Tour kesa Countryside on our Day1? Or okay lang na Countryside Tour muna then Panglao Tour on our 2nd day na lang? At okay lang ba to miss the festivities in the City? Naiisip ko i-sacrifice ang Sandugo Festival activities for the pleasure of enjoying the Panglao tourist spots.

Thanks! :-)

^ilang beses na rin ako nasa bohol during sandugo pero never ako actively nagparticipate actually. haha. ang napuntahan ko lang dun is yung tiangge sa pier. they set up booths kasi sa pier during this time. tapos meron din mga gigs and stuff. naka punta na rin ako ng gig just because barkada ng cousin ko yung band. haha. meron din parades. yung parade nakapunta na ko a couple of times na rin kasi yung kasama yung lola ko dun sa parade pero matagal na yun.

meron din mga street dancing. i think parang contest ito. different groups compete. tapos meron din kung ano anong contest like pageants, etc. and meron din parang play about dun sa blood compact. itong mga ito, never ko pa napuntahan. i just hear about it from my cousins.

madami din mga small events all over. kasi sinasabay nila sa sandugo yung tinatawag nilang TBTK which is basically a general homecoming of boholanos worldwide. so madaming happening (school reunions, grand jubillees, etc.)

honestly, i think pwede mo siya i-miss.

(i am such a terrible advocate for bohol tourism! haha!)

@ sis pixiedust: thanks for your reply. nagdadalawang-isip kasi ako kung gawin ko bang first day ang panglao tour or second day na lang para after ng countryside tour, makabalik na rin kami sa city for the festivities. month-long naman daw talaga ang celebration ng sandugo festival. siguro i'll take photos na lang ng kung anumang meron sila doon na patungkol sa sandugo fest. excited na ako although medyo kabado kasi baka ulanin ang tour namin. hehe. july kasi, alam nyo na, tag-ulan.

^^mas madaming spots yung countryside tour kaya mas advisable na gawin sya 2nd day, whole day like 8am-4/5pm.  yung panglao tour kaya ng half day so after kayo sunduin sa airport, diretso na kayo sa panglao tour then hatid sa hotel after.  pwede mo pagpalitin yan IF 8am ang arrival nyo sa tagbilaran airport pero parang nakakapagod.

*sorry mod, i thought malayo na yung message nya that's why i quoted. ty

For those who booked tours with Kuya Tatsky, since I booked his countryside tour na 12 spots, I dont have to do a separate Panglao tour anymore right? Kasi kasama naman sa kanya yung Bohol Bee Farm and Hinagdanan Cave which are the only ones I think I want in the Panglao Tour anyway.

Any tips on which ones should go first? I read na dapat daw daytime yung cave or something. So excited :)

Hi, we will be staying at Astoria Bohol this coming June 7-10. Anyone who has been there? I was hearing things like liblib don and 15 minutes by car before we get to a restaurant or any eating place. How true is that? Tsaka onti lang daw ATM Machines don sa area?

Kung may nakapagstay na sa Astoria, ano kaya average price ng food nila don? TIA

^^outside na siya ng city sis so wala talagang masyadong establishments sa area. if i'm not mistaken, that area is yung malapit na bago tumawid papuntang panglao. yung mga ATMs and restos kasi nasa tagbilaran which is mga 10-15 mins drive nga. i haven't stayed there though so hindi ko alam yung price range ng food nila.

@ Blackgreen: Thanks sis, siningil kami ng tricycle 500 balikan pero 2 tricycle, ginawa pa nga ni hubby na 600 kasi naawa at gabi na kami binalikan, hinde naman kasi sa amin nasabi nung driver namin from kuya tatsky na 500 ang rent sa kanila, cia ang naghanap ng tricycle for us (RYAN driver of kuya tatsky)

@MDJ10: maganda ang panahon today :) hinde maulan :)

We love staying here in ISIS, everyday nililinis nila room namin and always may coffee and hot water, hinde din salty ang water :D with wifi, ganda ng view , hinde din maingay sa gabi, unlike sa mga katabi nya na maiingay sa gabi, lakas ng sounds, buti na lang hinde kami natuloy sa lost horizon kasi ang ingay talaga pati mga katabi nya na hotel/resort.

We went to BBC nung 1st day namin, 500/head, yung food nila ok lang nag add pa kami ng 600 pesos lumagpas kasi kami sa consumable na 350 each sa food, take note matagal dumating ang order ha :D Ang sarap sa pool nila, super nag enjoy mga kids kasi hot yung water nya, about naman sa beach medyo masakit sa paa  and medyo madumi na din may mga small na kahoy and grass:( iba parin talaga ang BORACAY, :)

BALICASAG: super mahal mag sea tour! hahaha...buti na lang nag enjoy talaga mga bata kaya hinde na din nakakahinayang :)

Boat from kuya tatsky na din P1600
underwater camera (rent)      P  800
Food/paluto                         P1145
guide                                  P  100/head x6 kami, pati bata na 2 y.o may bayad! grabe!  :o
shoes                                  P150 x3 kami
souvenirs                             P600 mga bata kasi ang kukulit mga nagpabili ng necklace na pendant daw teeth ng shark  :'( mga nangungulit magpabili
Ang sarap magsnorkeling pati mga bata kayang kaya nila kasi napaka babaw ng water hanggang dibdib lang.

VIRGIN ISLAND: first time to taste sea urchin  8) P10 each and may nag offer din ng P5 each. Ang ganda ng virgin island kaya lang super init as in :D

COUNTRYSIDE TOUR: mabilisan lang lahat, by 5pm tapos na lahat ng 12 spots, yung butterfly garden wala naman gaanong butterfly :( wala lang hehe...hinde ko din napuntahan yung gift shop na mura ang peanut kisses sabi kasi ni michael (driver namin) mura na daw dun sa pinuntahan namin na may python 16 pcs for P140 baka yun na nga yun :) na try din namin yung icecream ng BBF super like ng daughter ko yung malunggay and durian haha...masaya din as whole tour kasi maaga naman kami natapos and napuntahan naman lahat.

CHICKEN ATI ATIHAN: dito kami nag lunch right after we arrived from tagbilaran airport, masarap yung chicken, mas masarap ng konte sa mang inasal :)

TRUDIS: dito kami nag dinner, we ordered grilled chicken, pork, hotdog for kids, steam fish.

For me ok mag stay dito sa Alona kasi madami talaga store and resto na mas cheaper. Meron convenience store na same price lang sa amin, I mean regular price sa store. Meron din kami na discover ni hubby na carinderia na masarap din may mga seafoods din pero cheaper ang price compare sa mga beach front resto, Nagulat kami kasi nasa P25 lang ang viand per order and hot din kapag serve nila sayo, masarap din :)

bye for now sisses :)

^^mas madami talaga restos and stores sa alona kasi mas madami ding resorts and accomodations diyan so there are more people. unlike in the dumaluan side iilan lang sila so mas konti din tao.

@ BLACKGREEN: sis, sa pinaka labas, lalakad ka lang ng ilang meters, andun na halos lahat ng resto. Yung Rona's grocery/convenience store katapat lang din nung eatery, ok naman kumain kasi dami din kumakain na foreigners, nakakagulat price nya kasi lahat halos ang mamahal ng tinda may grill din, last day namin dun kami nag dinner, 4 adults & 3 kids kami naka P350 lang kami compare dun sa kinainan namin na trudis which is naka P850 kami, sa BBC P 2150 & sa chicken ati atihan P845. Pinakamahal sa balicasag P1145 na 3 klase lang ( isang fish na whole medium size, 1 squid at mga 3 na slice ng blue marlin) plus rice and buko. Dun pala sa loboc  bale 4 pala sila pero dun kami sa loboc river watch sumakay, ok lang din ang food, ang masarap is yung experience, nakakarelax talaga.

^ oo sis tahimik nga sa dumaluan, pero mas malinis ang beach area nila compare dito sa alona, madami din boat pero ok lang kasi nakapag swim naman kami sa virgin island, sa balicasag at sa Bohol beach club na super na enjoy ng mga kids ang pool nila :) parang hot spring :)
