^may bagong bahay na pala.. hehe!
 Excited much na ako March na ang PP tour namin 

[ceejhei]

^pasali po ulit..

yung Gohotels po ba ay malapit din sa mga kainan?

[josievee]

hmmm medyo malayo sya sa mga ka lui, kinabuchs po sis. mag tryk ka pa sis. pero mlapit naman sya sa robinsons. hehe

[ceejhei]

Thanks sis! Pag trike mga ilang mins? Saka magkano po pamasahe?

[unwantedP]

Anyone knows kung may house sa city that can be rented, good for 25-30 people. May puntahan kasing hospital yung kapatid ko to study, along with her classmates. Tapos the travel agencies I've contacted gave too steep padin for the tour prices, considering ang dami nila.

[tammy1979]

Ask ko lang po, pag may permit na para sa Underground River and nagkataong may bagyo or masama ang panahon ( Sept kasi punta namin so may possibility talaga ng bagyo), tapos na cancel or hindi pinayagan na tumuloy, refundable ba yung binayad sa permit or ire-resked lang? may ganun na bang case na nangyari?

[josievee]

may refund naman yan sis pero di na full price... usually may bawas na lalo pag nasa park na kayo and nag cancel ang coast guard. pero kung di pa kayo nakaka alis sa city... pwedeng full ma refund mo.

[~tiArA~]

wow may bagong thread na ^_^

underground river is fully booked on February 3 and 8

sis tammy - kung masama ang panahon, re-sched ang ginagawa sa permit. kung gusto makuha yung full refund (kung walk in kayo kumuha ng permit), makukuha nyo yun sa city hall. ang mga travel agencies kasi hindi na nagtityaga na kunin ang refund sa city hall, pwede kasi gamitin pa yung unused receipt kapag nagpa-book ulit ng permit

[tammy1979]

thanks sisses tiara and josievee...alin ba mas madalas na ma cancel pag masama ang panahon? yung UG River or yung Honda Bay Tour?

[shinta]

mga sis, anong oras natatapos ang UGR at honday bay tour? nagpapareserve kasi ako sa kalui's, tinatanong nila if 6-8 pm or 8-10 pm. okay na ba 6pm? thanks!

[gaby_cielo]

sis Tiara - thanks po sa reply sa email. nagreply na po ako uli. thanks po uli

[josievee]

Sis Shinta... Pag UGR depende kung ano oras permit nyo... so di sure ang dating. Honda bay naman usually 4 to 5pm nasa inn na kayo nyan. to be safe sis 8pm is the safest.

[shinta]

^salamat sis. pinareserve ko na ng 6pm pero pinabago ko ulit, ginawa ko ng 8pm. Yung Honday Bay naman, itatapat ko sa Badjao or Kinabuch's

[peenitokss]

nakapagpa-book na ko to PP sa November. Tagal pa pero excited ako!

I'm still looking for hotels na cheap lang pero ok naman accomodation. Saka ano po ba mas ok DIY na lang yong tour or mas okay kumuha ng package? dalawa lang kasi kami ni hubby.

[gaby_cielo]

ako din excited na. sa sept 6-9 naman kami. yung kay sis tiara nalang kukunin ko.

pano ba yung sa Kalui? pano magpareserve?

[shinta]

^nagtext at email ako sa kanila sis. pero sa email sila nagreply. tapos tatanungin ka kung anong oras yung reservation. than email nila yung confirmation ng reservation.

[toinkz]

wohhoo natuloy din ang PP tour namin!   got 2 full days lang pero we we're able to squeeze all the trip mejo ngarag nga lang still enjoy much, 15 pax ba naman kmi e
stayed at gohotels, very efficient ang mga staff nila sa front desk, although may mga shortcomings on the room itself for the price we paid for super sulit na. also yun bfast big servings din so kung may kids keri na rice na lan extra order after all un way pa-UR is zigzag so sayang lang (if ever you weren't able to contain it ).
day1-arrived at 830pm so diretso hotel na

day 2- left for UR at 7am. konti pa tao kc di pa peak season. i did appreciate the cave and how it was formed but di lang siguro ko geologist to be amazed still si kuya erwin bangkero ang nagdala ng saya otherwise i'll find the tour creepy  good thing we finished early kasi yun buffet lunch ok pa un food.yun mejo late na dumating ilan na lan choices. left at 1pm then diretso crocodile farm. ok din don kasi ang laki nun saltwater croc 17ft daw pero konti lan talaga mas marami pa yung sa zoobic then mitras ranch. kalerkei ang zipline 500petot kasi daw 4 lines e tsuripot kami so kodakan lan then punta na sa bakers hill for merienda. ang pancit bihon sa bakers restaurant sobrang al dente inisip ko na lan di ako sosi kaya di ko na-appreciate then cora's na for the pasalubong. tama ang sabi nila best buy don kasi sabi ni kuya samuel driver un daw ang wholesaler ng ibang souvenir shop. then balik uli hotel to freshen up kasi may reservation pa kay ka lui. as usual fully booked sila. by the time we were seated and served we were too famished and tired to appreciate the taste . still authentic ang freshness ng mga seafoods. shakes are also uber sarap. unfortunately we had a small incident at the restaurant. nawala yun slippers ng kasama namin.  i really can't blame the receptionist kasi sa dami ng ginagawa nya di naman nya talaga mabantayan lahat un. still if they have that kind of policy sana mas may control sila on how to store the footwear. sa sobrang pagod di ko na kinaya magtaray hahaha. in fairness the slipper was replaced the next day. then finally off to bed.

day3- honday bay tour kami. my sister got sick so stay lang sila sa hotel asus napamahal pa kami sa gears mas mura pala sa wharf. went to luli island for snorkeling practice. then pambato reef, starfish island na puro photo ops, then pandan island for lunch. the kids had so much fun in the sand ayaw na umalis uwian na by 130pm to check up on our sister and freshen up. check out at 5pm then diretso cathedral na and baywalk. had our dinner at bilao't palayok and for me mas enjoy ako dito. pang cowboy kasi family nmin e lamon kung lamon . at 8pm check in na sa aiport.

huh kapagod di ba still it was a family trip so sobrang saya!! so now we're preparing for the next destination

some tips:
if affordable naman ang hotel book at least 1 room for the next day para makapag freshen up. we booked 2 at gohotels kasi kung iwan namin un bags halos ganun din un price  
if you have kids on UR tour and they're afraid of ghost inform na lang si kuya if possible not to make joke on mumu. my kids and niece are ok at first pero nun na-mention na un mumu natakot na although silent lang naman sila
mas mura ang snorkeling gears sa wharf so if may suggestion si kuya just politely inform them na sa wharf na lang kayo kukuha. kasi malamang may cut pa sila sa price nun gears.
mejo mabilis yun honda bay namin still ok lang kasi may kasama din kami naiwan kawawa naman. still don't let your bangkero dictate your pace enjoy lang kasi bayad yun day nyo.
also big saving on our part na big group. we just got the van service of johnel so 6k lan un 3 tours and panalo ang kwela ni kuya samuel driver. muy gwapito din pala si johnel  
salamat sa lahat ng tips from our sissies that i read from this forum sobrang nakatulong on our trip!!
 sa uulitin!
