We went back to Guimaras again last week with our 2 year old son. We stayed again in Raymen. I was just a little disspointed with our trip to Guimaras. The first time we went there was 3 years ago and we really enjoyed it. Ibang iba na talaga ang Raymen. Unlike before, super green and malinis talaga yung water. Ngayon, ang daming kalat. Hindi na siya naalagaan ng management ng Raymen. Sayang.

Nainis pa ako kasi pagdating namin sa Port sa Iloilo going to Guimaras, walang pila papunta sa boat. As in unahan. Dati hindi naman ganun. Wala na talagang disiplina mga tao. And pagdating namin dun sa Guimaras e 450 ang unang sabi samin na charge sa Tricycle lang. Tapos, nagula pa yung driver nung biglang nag Ilonggo ako. Yes, I was born and raised in Iloilo and kahit mismomg dialect nila sa Guimaras e kaya kong sabihin. Nakakainis. Ang galing nilang manloko ng mga turista. Ayun, nung nalaman na taga doon din ako e may nag alok na driver ng Multi-cab na 250 nalang daw. So um-ok kami.

Kudos to Raymen because they gave us room 1 na pinakamalapit sa beach. Ok naman ang room. Mahal lang siya for a room w/o TV and fridge. It's 1300/night.

Kudos sa staff ng Raymen kasi mabait naman sila. Hindi na kami pina charge ng corkage fee tapos andami pa naming request sa kitchen nila. No charge lahat yun. Kaso ang daming lamok. Bothered ako the whole we were there dahil sa lamok. So loob ng room wala naman kasi naka aircon siya. Kaso, sa labas ang dami and ang laki ng mga lamok.

The next day, before kami nag check out, I texted Manong Multi-cab driver na sunduin na kami. Nag offer kasi siya na 450 nalang balikan. Bigla ba naman nagtext na sira daw multi cab niya and maghanap kumuha nalang kami ng tricycle sa labas. Nainis ako. Hassle kasi makiki[ag away na naman ako sa presyo ng mga driver. Which happened nga. Kasi 300 singil samin. I understand naman na 250-300 ang singil. Buti nalang may nag offer ulit na driver for 250.

Ok naman kasi kahit papano nag enjoy naman kami. Sana lang inalagaan ng Raymen Management yung beach kasi sayang. It was 80% different from the first time we went there.

Joining! Good thing I found this thread, i've done some backreadings na at nalilito ako sa dami ng choices, hehe. Ask ko lang, posible kaya  yung plan namin na tour? We'll be in Iloilo on Nov. 22 mga lunch time, we plan na explore ng konti ang city then off to Guimaras, stay overnight until nov. 23 mga 3pm then we take ferry going to Bacolod. Then Nov. 24 whole day is to explore Bacolod and some food tripping before our flight in the evening. Kaya ba or super ngaragan? hehe..ganun kasi yung nakuha kong murang fare sa cebu pac, pero I was also planning na mag abang ng promo uli para maging Nov. 25 yung Bacolod-Mla flight namin, that way hindi masyadong nagmamadali. Pero kung kaya naman at walang makukuhang sale, keri na rin siguro yung original booking. any suggestins? TIA!

tammy.... kaya yung IT nyo but IMHO as a traveller, I won't enjoy yung ganyang ngarag na I can't fully enjoy a place...

kiz... ang sad naman na your experience was like that. When we went to raymen/guimaras just last March, the beach was clean and clear. Even the resort. Yung lamok, I can't really fault them with that pag outdoors since they have plants... and kami talaga, P450 ang charge sa multicab for a one way hatid kaya nakamura ka na din

Nasa Iloilo kami last week and halos same iti natin. Yun nga lang may seminar kami kaya hectic din sked. Napuntahan namin yung Miagao Church pero 1 hr travel sya from the city at nag jeep lang kami. Fare is 50php. The next morning maaga kami nagpunta sa Guimaras, island hopping sa umaga then landtour sa hapon. I highly recommend our tourguide/driver/ photographer sa Guimaras, si Gerald. Sinundo kami sa Jordan Wharf at kasama namin sya buong tour. Okay din ang price nya at superb ang service. Umuwi din kami sa Iloilo nung hapon, kasi nakacheck-in na kmi dun sa hotel. Hassle din kasi na bitbit lahat ng gamit. The next day, lunch time nasa Bacolod na kami. With no idea at all, sa Chicken Deli kami hinatid ni Manong Taxi para maglunch (though yung taxi pauwi suggested na madaming pwedeng kainan sa bacolod, mostly malapit lang sa pier mapaseafood or inasal... sayang nga eh). Napuntahan lang namin ang The Ruins, na sobrang nagandahan ako. Sya lang kasi ang tourist spot na medyo malapit sa city. Yung iba malayo na, eh 5:15pm last byahe ng barko. Nagpunta kami sa Calea Cakes after, yung keso like cake lang nagustuhan ko sa kanila. After that SM Bacolod, dun nakapagpicture kami with City of Smiles! After nun, back to Iloilo na.

Thanks sa response sis delisyus...feeling ko nga, super ngaragan na byahe to, hehe..

Sis Don em...thanks sa pag share ng itinerary nyo, magagamit kong guide to if ever di ako makakuha ng promo fare na pabalik ng Sunday. Ask ko lang, Ok bang mag ferry from Iloilo to bacolod? Hindi ba nakakatakot or nakakahilo? hehe..Takot kasi ako sumakay sa mga ferry pero sabi 45mins to an hour lang daw byahe ng ferry, kaya ko na siguro basta hindi maalon...

Ferry lang ang alam ko since magkaibang island yung dalawa. Yung Iloilo is panay island ata then yung bacolod part ng negros. Wala rin akong nakita na open air na ferry dun. Better siguro sa morning na byahe para calm ang water.

^^there's no bridge connecting bacolod and iloilo yet sis. though there was a plan years back to build a bridge connecting iloilo to guimaras and guimaras to bacolod (para kasing triangle ang tatlong to). i think guimarasnons opposed the idea as they fear the development might inadvertently destroy guimaras' natural rustic beauty.

^not necessarily naman sis. ok naman ang supercat ferry.

^^try clubbing at smallville and plazuela sis. and try food-tripping too. there's this quaint bakeshop at plazuela, maridel's, that offers native guava cake and it's really delicious. try the pistachio cake at Nothing But Desserts in Smallville. this dessert shop was featured in philstar one time. try the usda-grade steaks at Bauhinia and baby back ribs at Bourbon Street, all in smallville. also, try the crema de fruta at Tinapayan's, Atrium mall. It's near St. Paul's Univ and PNB. :)
