Laoag, Vigan and Pagudpud Thread 11

[pbrg]

^^ Sis [textspeak!]
Since undecided ako if Saud or Blue Lagoon, nag book ako overnight stay sa Saud (casa victoria) and overnight at Blue Lagoon (Casa Consuelo)... Ok ba location ng Consuelo?  Nakita mo sa Saud yung Casa Victoria?

[ksv]

^ I didn't see Casa Victoria but maganda reviews ng Casa Consuelo. Just drive to the beach for a bit to swim kasi di yata swimmable ang area nila. Pero tns better than Hannah's I think. hehe!

[a.k.a. HELGA]

Aside from Florida Bus, meron pa bang ibang bus na may direct trip to Pagudpud?

Hi mga sis,
We'll be going to Laoag this coming May 14 to 17. May matutuluyan na kami (bahay ng ninong/ninang namin), ang tanong ko na lang ay kung marami bang taxi from Laoag airport? kasi gabi ang dating namin dun, magpapahatid na lang kami sa bahay nila. Thanks in advance sa mga sasagot.

[simang]

^sis sa pagkakaalala ko walang taxi sa Laoag, trike and main na transpo doon. Saan ba sa Laoag yung pagstayan nyo? Kase may free shuttle sa airport na naghahatid sa downtown Laoag. Sasabihin mo lang kung san kayo magpapababa. Better if dun na lang kayo sumakay tapos from the city, dun na lang kayo magpahatid sa tricycle if ever. Travel time from airport to Laoag City is mga 15mins.

[melmedrano]

thanks sis... ask ko sa ninong ko yung exact address nila... nahihiya kasi ako ngaragin kasi medyo malayo pa naman (in their opinion) at saka nag-p-prepare din sila sa vacation nila after holyweek.

pag nakausap ko na sya sa holyweek alamin ko, then post ko dito para makapag tanong ulit. Thanks sis simang. :-)

my friends are planning to go to ilocos part.. gusto lang namin mag beach bum, parang target namin is sa saud beach then kapurpurawan at mag sand dunes.. mag kakalapit lang ba yung mga yun? mga ilang days kaya ang ideal na hindi kami pagoda.. 

[simang]

^3d2n will be fine, hindi sila gaano magkakalapit pero what yung kapurpurawan and sand dunes kaya ng half day tour siguro. pagudpud to kapurpurawan mga 1 hr travel tapos from mga 1 hr din to paoay sand dunes. sa kapurpurawan wala naman kayo gagawin masyado photo ops lang so mga 30 mins lang kayo stay dun. sa sand dunes naman they have 30min or 1 hr options for the ride so depende sa inyo

[iwannabeasupermodel]

hello! my bf and i are also planning to go sa pagudpud din. i've been to the vigan-laoag part before and siya di pa. ito sabi ko kasi the beaches in pagudpud are nice daw and di masyadong matao. totoo ba to?

and the itinerary is better and more to see and to tour though like sis hayne22, gusto ko magpakabeach bum lang ng mga 1.5days dun. haha! balak din namin 3D2N. saan ba dito ang masasarap na kain kasi that is what he is after.  also papost naman itinerary niyo mga sis including the fees para makagawa rin ako ng sarili naming itinerary, balak namin diy lang. tia!

[simang]

^with regards sa beach, the sand is not boracay levels pero definitely the area is very nice and sobrang walang tao. I went there october and i had the beach all to myself. Sa saud ako nagstay.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^ yeah i prefer na mej konti lang tao, hehe, but i do hope decent accommodations naman. sis di ba may blog ka? do you have a blog post regarding that? tia! 

[simang]

^yep meron haha pero my old posts are gone eh, last year ko pa kase yun sinulat, i just restarted my site last feb. haha kaya dito na lang ako share :p

okay sa saud but it's actually one of the more popular beaches there so kung summer siguro relatively mas marami tao dun.

[Jaguar.Paw]

pumunta ko dito with mudrakels May 2013 ata..

so so lang.. buti na lang enjoy si mudrakels. yun ang mahalaga. pa birthday ko kasi sa kanya yun. ang pinaka na enjoy ko lang e yung trek going to falls tska zip line sa blue lagoon, the rest, na trigger lang ang migraine ko

[ksv]

Sis iwannabeasupermodel, I went there summer last year, early May. There weren't a lot of people. But i heard pag Holy Week super dami din. Apo Idon in Saud is nice, Maganda ang rooms and the staff are helpful. It's beachfront din. 

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^ okay sis i'll check that out! salamat!

question, if sa laoag muna kami then go to pagudpud afterwards (kasi i think there'll be more must eats sa laoag), anong mga transpo ang pwede to go to pagudpud from laoag? i read somewhere na there's a bus but meron din atang van? thanks mga sis!

[ohcmon]

Mga sis, 'yung buses ba to Ilocos saang bayan sa Pangasinan dumadaan? Pwede rin ba sa La Union? We'll be coming from Nueva Ecija kasi so mag-aabang lang sana kami ng bus somewhere pa-Ilocos.

booked 2 roundtrip tickets for laoag next year. total was less than 2.6k, ok na ba yun?
4 days, 3 nights kami, will that be enough to cover yung tourist spots? any suggestions sa iti? thanks!

[simang]

^2.6k for 2 RT tickets, okay na yun. Mostly sa cebupac pag piso fare ganyan lumalabas yung pamasahe.

i stayed for 3d3n, i was able to cover everything, laoag-pagudpud-vigan with time to spare since late night pa flight back to manila. parang 2 pm pa lang free time ko na

[purple_girl]

^thanks sis! got the tickets from pal. naka sale sila last week, base fare was 100.
