naku! parang nagpapanic na ako!!

we'll be in Cebu in 2 weeks. ano pong masa-suggest nyong puntahan muna, para mag-spend ng time before mag-check-in sa resort?

7:30am arrival in Cebu, since maaga pa, we plan to have breakfast muna siguro sa Resort, then mag-city tour muna habang nag-iintay sa oras.

by 2pm check-in time, so yung between 9am to 2pm, saan ang ok na pumunta for this?

wala pa rin akong nakokontak na pwedeng i-rent na sasakyan, may kasama kaming 3yr old kasi eh. waaahhh!! please help!  :( :( :(

^ sis dont worry maraming taxi... madali lang mag ikot ikot kahit may kasamang bata... last november nagpunta kami doon, kasama son namin (2 1/2 years old), di naman kami nahirapan.

san ba ang resort nyo? dun nalang kayo sa malapit dun mamasyal para di rin masyado hassle.

^we'll be staying in Maribago.

I'm thinking if we can just spend our 1st day muna sa resort (ewan ko lang kung papayagan nila kami tumambay dun), while waiting for the check-in time. or pwede ding kahit mag-taxi na lang kami papunta sa Sto. Nino Church, eto kasi ang gusto ko muna puntahan eh, gusto ko dalhin yung mag-ama ko dito. then back to Maribago to have lunch, then wait na lang to check-in.

Then yung 2nd day ang naisip kong mag-day tour kami sa Imperial Palace Waterpark or basta gusto ko talaga idedicate itong araw na ito sa isang day tour sa ibang resort.

then yung 3rd day - City Tour

4pm pa naman flight namin pabalik eh...

do-able ba ito sa 3rd day?

- visit Mactan Shrine, Lapu-Laput Monument
- Shellcraft Souvenir Shop
- buy Danggit
- buy Silvanas
- buy Chorizo
- buy Shamrock Pasalubongs
- have lunch at ZUBUCHON
- gusto ko rin sana makabili ng kahit 1 item na maiuuwi para sa bahay ko, like isang modern clock. basta I want to check the furnitures also, ang alam ko kasi magaganda at mura ang furnitures sa Cebu, kahit small item man lang makapag-uwi :-)

ok naman yung mag simba muna kayo... kami rin laging ganun ang ginagawa namin, pero kung sa lapu lapu ang resort nyo... i suggest you do the lapu lapu and mactan shrine muna then lunch sa sutukil... yun kasi ang magkakalapit. para di kayo pabalik balik.

tapos yung third day na city tour pwedeng pwede naman, doon nyo na isama yung pag simba, agahan nyo ang punta sa simbahan then magellan's cross and yung mga near by places dun... the go to fuente osmena kung saan andun ang shamrock at mga malls na mabibilhan ng pasalubong, may malapit din dun na zubuchon. pwede na kayo dun mag lunch... yung furniture lang ang di ko alam kung saan nakakabili. Never tried to score one, tamad kasi ako mag bitbit. Pero dati tanda ko may parang street kami na napuntahan na maraming wood crafts and guitars... di kona lang matandaan.

Hi sis! You can do all that and MORE in one day :) Magkakalapit lang naman mga tourist sites dun, danggit ang shamrock pasalubongs you can buy in Tabo-an Market, parang walang furniture in lapu Lapu monumet pero sobrang daming pwedeng pasalubong na ang mumura as in mga native bags as cheap as 50-60 pesos! Maganda na yun ha, yung nga pinasalubong ko sa mga officemates ko eh hehe. I'll be back in Cebu next week bibili ako ng malaking straw native bag haha, babalikan ko siya sa Lapu Lapu!

Must visit din ang Tops, Yap-Salcedo House and Virgen de la Regla Parish for me :)

^^thanks sis mel. will definitely consider visiting the Shrine muna, then if time permits, direcho na ng Sto. Nino para sa 3rd day puros pasalubong spots na lang hehe..

^sis dun ba malapit sa Shrine makakabili ng pearls? gusto ko din sana umiscore ng hikaw hehe...

by the way, nag-inquire ako sa Imperial Palace for a day tour, tumataginting na P2,500 net and rate nila! awww!! although free naman yung anak ko, pero p5k na kami agad ng asawa ko.. grabe, pero gusto ko talaga mag-enjoy sana ang anak ko, kaya kung wala na akong ibang choice na puntahan pa for the day tour, siguro papatusin ko na ito.

baka may marerecommend pa kayong iba bang equally good resort na mag-e-enjoy din ang bata?

maraming salamat sa inputs!

^hehe, kung mag-daytour lang kayo sis and ganyan ang presyo much better na mag-stay na lang kayo sa hotel. kagagaling lang namin sa radisson blu, business class room nasa 6k lang. kasama na don yong buffet breakfast na sobrang dami ng choices. plus may cocktail party pa sa gabi na unli food and drinks din. malaki din naman yong pool nila and mababait yong staff kaya sulit talaga yong 3 nights namin don. ;)

^^ 2k sa Plantation Bay, pero ang room rates kasi is around 10k ang minimum, kaya kinuha na rin namin.
Nag enjoy naman kami dun it might be an option for you, cheaper ng 500/person hehe

^^ and ^ my main objective kasi kaya yung Imperial ang prefer ko dahil sa waterpark, is it really something special compare to other hotels that offer the same day tours? at gusto ko lang naman din mag-enjoy ang anakis ko sa waterpark. pwede naman daw mag-walk-in sa Imperial sabi sa email. I'm just looking now for some alternative baka meron pa hehe

^^sis naka-book kasi kami sa maribago, gustuhin ko man i-avail yung overnight sa hotel mismo, sayang naman booking namin sa maribago, mago-overlap bale. we only have 2N/3D stay eh, di na pwede mag-extend kasi yung flights namin namin naka-fix na.

@younis: sis, the thing with imperial it gets crowded especially this season, malapit na kasi ang Sinulog at summer so yung waterpark nila dadami ang tao so dapat talaga bantayan mo anak mo all the time. hehe for me yung slides lang naman nila ang extraordinary eh mas prefer ko ang Plantation kasi maraming pools at malawak pa. then pwede rin magbiking, wall climbing, use their game room facilities at kayak for free!

@Princess_Chill: sis depende kasi yan eh if you are going to splurge or not during your trip :)

@pretinnes: those three hotels are great sis but ang may advantage sa kanilang tatlo is Radisson kasi it is conveniently situated near to commercial establishments at tourist spots. isang tambling lang SM na

^sis para sa akin hindi masyadong affordable ang food nila pero I understand naman eh kasi nasa malayong isla sila. When we went there, nagdala kami ng mga chicherya ;D at yung meal namin is dala na siya sa day tour na we availed.  Yung whale shark watching sis, iba yun. :)
