Hello sissies! Parang wala pa ako nagbabasa ng review sa Flushing Meadows, we'll be staying there kasi this Holy Week. Anyone may experience na dito?

i booked sa www.philippineshomestay.com kung gusto niyong makatipid. may choices naman sa website kung saan niyo gustong maghome stay. Then I opted for a day tour na may sariling car (2k) but on the plunge @ Danao ill try to commute when i go there the next day.

So far, 5 nights ko with homestay na nai-booked ko is 3000php.

Ill give feedback as soon as i get back from my bohol trip. :)

I cant see there na number of people exceeding 2 pax. Merong 10 pero barangay hall iyun at mas mataas angr ate. Para ka na ring nagstay sa isang resort. maybe you can email them and since 5 lang kayo, you can still bargain naman siguro for the additional 3.

Just came from Bohol last week. Thank you sa lahat ng mga sis natin na nagbigay ng tips and suggestions. Anyway, here's my share of review:

Accomodation:

We booked our accomodation at Alonaland Resort, hindi cya beach front pero may pool naman sila. If you want to go to alona beach, it's about 10 mins walk from the resort or ride their free hourly shuttle from the resort to the beach and vice versa.

I recommend this resort for families or big groups. House # 13 yung kinuha namin, 2 rooms yung house with 2 double beds in each room kaya pwede up to 8 persons. Both rooms have aircon units. May sala, may kitchen with complete cooking and dining utensils kaya makakamura kayo kasi you can cook your own food. Pwede rin kayo kumuha sa front desk nila ng 5 gallons na water since may dispenser na provided sa cottage. May mga grill areas din sila. Or kung ayaw nyo magluto, ang daming kainan within walking distance from the resort.

Very prompt sila sa mga inquiries through text. And para silang serviced apartments, they clean and make up the house habang nasa labas kayo at nagttour. Nagulat nalang kami pagbalik namin from island hopping, nalinis nila yung house, inayos mga beddings, pati mga pinagkainan namin nahugasan na, mga shoes at bags, nakaayos sa tabi ng room. Nirefill yung tissue and tinapon yung laman ng mga basurahan. Very satisfied kami sa service nila.

Yung house na kinuha namin is 2,500 per night. For small groups, may iba rin silang mga cottages on the same compound ranging from 1,500- 1,700.

Tour:
I DO NOT recommend Jun Ombay, and dami ko kinontact na mga suggested tour guides dito sa Gtalk and PinoyExchange pero cya yung pinakamura.. Well that was what I thought.  >:(

When I was inquiring about his rates through text, and sabi nya sakin 2K and rate ng island hopping kapag sa dumaluan part ang accomodation nyo and 1,800 kapag sa alona part kayo magsstay since ang jumpoff point ng mga tour pag island hopping e sa shoreline ng alona. Sinabi ko sa kanya na sa alonaland kami magsstay. Buong akala ko 1,800 lang ang babayaran since isang tawid lang naman mula sa resort e nasa shoreline naman na kami ng alona. Nagulat nalang ako after ng tour e bigla nalang nya kami siningil ng additional na 200 dahil daw nanggaling pa sa dumaluan yung bangka na kinuha nya. E kaya nga sinabi ko nung naguusap palang kami sa text na sa Alona kami nakabook, bat sa Dumaluan mangagaling yung bangka?. Kung di lang ako nagadvance ng 500 sa kanya, sa resort nalang ako kumuha ng tour since pag kadating namin sa resort nagoffer sila ng island hopping samin 1,500 lang ang rate.

Nakakainis pa yung boatman namin, di man lang magkusa na tumulong samin magbuhat ng mga gamit. At kung di ko pa sinabi sa kanya na dalhin kami sa virgin island e sa balicasag lang kami ddalhin.

Sumunod na araw sinundo uli kami ni Kuya Jun sa resort para sa countryside tour. Nung naguusap kami sa text sinabi ko ng diresto kami sa Tubigon port after ng tour since pupunta kami ng Cebu, nagagree sya naman cya at 2,500 ang rate na sinabi nya para sa rental ng van sa buong tour at hatid sa port after. Nagulat nalang ako nung nakaupo na kaming lahat sa loob ng van, bigla nyang sinabi na plus 1,200 daw kung ihahatid kami sa Tubigon port dahil madadagdagan daw ng 1 hour yung travel time nya paguwi sa kanila sa Tagbilaran kung ihahatid nya kami sa Tubigon port. E kaya nga sinabi ko beforehand nung nagnenegotiate kami sa text na didiretso kami sa Tubigon at umoo naman cya. Kung alam ko lang talaga na maniningil cya ng extra naghanap nalang sana ako ng ibang mas mura ang singil. Inis na inis talaga ako sa kanya. Haaay, buti nalang nagenjoy ako ng todo nung nag punta kami sa Cebu after ng Bohol kaya nabawas-bawasan banas ko sa kanya.

Hi mga sis....

I just want to ask... medyo na co-confuse kasi sa rate ng mga tours.....

Nag inquire kasi with Incon travel and tours for their country side tour and panglao tour and they quoted this to me, we are 5 adults and 2 kids.

P 2,250.00/ pax for adults
P 1,912.50/ pax for kids

Total of : P15,075.00 

Inclusive of:
-all the entrance fees and municipal taxes
-Transfer
-One time Buffet lunch ( I think this is for the loboc river cruise)
-Bottled water
-DOT accredited tour guide

base on my research kasi I can get car rental service with the driver (also serve as the tour guide) for around P2500 for 6-12 pax na... the additional 130.00/pax for the entrance fees and P400.00/pax for the loboc lunch... if this is the case...the computation will be...

2,500.00   (car service with driver as tour guide
   910.00   (130.00@ x 7 pax) entrace fee
2,800.00   (400.00@ x 7 pax) loboc lunch
-------------
6,210.00    Total

Tama ba? mga sis? ang layo kasi ng difference for 15k and 6k if ang difference lang is the DOT certified tour guide.

please help naman im confused na...

^Isasabay ba daw nya yung countryside tour with the Panglao tour? Kapagod yan ha. Hindi kayo mag-eenjoy pag ganyan yung tour nya. Ideally one day countryside tour and half day ang Panglao tour.

^^sis mama squeak, i think hindi naman nya ata pagsasabayin yung 2 1st day is the countryside and 2nd day is the panglao tour but base on the itinerary parang almost same lang din dun sa 12 spots ni kuya tatsky ang difference lang is the shell museum and dauis church... and the prepaid entrance fees and taxes...

^ sis rocky, onga e, i thought nga kapag konti lang diff. i'd go for incon nalang since prepaid na nga all the entrance fees na so no more lining up... pero pag ang laki ng diff. nyek kay kuya tatsky nalang

just got back from our bohol/cebu trip!

weather: mainit! minsan makulimlim pero mainit pa rin.

we stayed at lost horizon annex. hindi naman maingay. malakas ang wifi kasi may mga routers sa mga balcony. laki ng bed namin. mga 2 minutes walk papuntang beach. hindi maganda yung beach nung time na nagpunta kami. i can bear the boats but not the seaweeds kaya tampisaw lang ang mag-ama ko.

tour via bohollife. innova sinakyan namin. ok naman si mamang driver (jhunjie). matulungin sa pagbibitbit ng gamit saka pinipicturan nya kaming family. may mga sinasabi rin syang mga konting info sa mga places na pinuntahan namin. countryside tour lang kami.

overall, enjoy kami sa bohol! mas nag-enjoy kami dito kesa sa cebu.  ;D

My friend and I just planned a 2D1N trip to Bohol next week. I would just like to ask kung san kami makakaavail ng customized tour? Kasi gusto lang namin puntahan is yung Chocolate Hills and Tarsier Sanctuary, and to have lunch/Loboc River Cruise. That's it. The usual I see is yung tour na from 9am-530pm, and yung ibang sites ok lang na di namin mapuntahan. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am now in Bohol. Im at a homestay dito (600/night) and it is okay kasi malapit lang yung Loboc sa mga gusto kong puntahan: Tarsier, Loboc River Cruise at saka ang man made forest. Chocolate Hills sa isang araw na lang. At saka gusto ko ring mag The Plunge. Wala akong tour guide. I just have the map.

Merong bus and jeepney terminal sa Island City Mall (sabi ko sa trike na nasa labas lang ng Tagbilaran airport, dito ako i-drop off at medyo mahal for 50 pesos) at halos terminal na yun ng lahat ng city sa Bohol (either bus/van/FX/jeep). There is one jeep na papunta talaga ng Loboc (costs 27 pesos at masyadong malayo pala talaga ang Loboc sa Tagbilaran proper) pero keri lang kasi maganda naman ang lugar.

Im a solo traveler and Im enjoying the trip so far :D Sa plane pa lang, makikita mo na ang mga Chocolate Hills, para na rin akong pumunta sa place sa dami nila ... Cute from the top view sa plane :D
