do you know how much does a city tour cost if magrent kami ng van?
ilan oras also and can you suggest a tour guide?

[abbey]

hehe nagbackread ako saglit, eto yung mga trip ko gawin. pakicheck naman kung doable o hassle kasi kasama ko nanay ko hehe:

first day: cebu city tour
second day: whale shark watching, tumalog falls tapos overnight na lang sa sumilon (hanap pa ko ng ok na resort) para hindi na masyadong hapon pabalik ng city?
third day: check out from sumilon then balik sa cebu city, buy pasalubong then manila na.

or

first day: cebu city tour
second day: overnight sa camotes island
third day: check out then buy pasalubong

Although, mas gusto ko yung option 1 para maiba lang hehe. ay may tanong pala ko, bakit kailangan sobrang aga sa oslob? carry lang ba na 5am na lang instead of 3am? thanks a bunch!!!

[rocky]

^since kasama mo nanay mo, i'll choose camotes mukhang hindi kasi mag-eenjoy SC sa butanding & malayo yong byahe. need kasi 3am dahil hanggang 12nn lang cutoff, saka mahaba pila pag late ka na dumating, matagal kang maghihintay don

[abbey]

ohh kaya pala ang aga waaahh! gusto ko pa naman makakita ng butanding hehe. hindi naman siguro man made yung beach sa camotes noh? nagulat kasi ko man made pala yung sa mactan. 

Thanks sis!

^yes original yong sand sis, maganda sa mangodlong paradise resort.

kagagaling lang namin sa Cebu ni hubby and two thumbs up kami sa trip namin. sulit to the max ang bakasyon plus nakisama pa ang weather. thanks sa thread na eto na sobra nakatulong para maging masaya at masulit namin ang Cebu trip.

[mama squeak!]

Just came back from a wonderful stay at the Abaca Boutique Resort. Ang ganda ng place nya! Masarap pa yung food nila. The resort staff were all great. Hubby and I didn't mind so much na wala syang beach front maganda naman din kasi yung infinity pool nila.

Plus what we liked very much is the privacy and exclusivity of the resort. Tahimik, nakakatanggal ng stress. I have lots of pictures in my blog pero iba pa rin to see it and experience it in person. We just found our new favorite place in Cebu. Babalik-balikan namin ito.

May new hotel in Fuente O... just a few steps away lang to Robinsons CyberGate,a lot nearer than Hotel Stella,its Cuarto Hotel,google nlang for you to see...just an info. para sa magbabakasyon.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ whee! Same tayo mama_squeak, Abaca na din favorite ko sa Mactan, used to be Shang. Kakarelax yung place no? And maganda ang service at masarap ang food.

[riandrew]

wow, ang ganda nga ng furnitures sa Abaca. and i so like the bathroom!

in fairness based sa pix sa FB mas bet ko to kesa hotel stella sayang hindi pa available website nila

[matetreyes]

eto ba yung may kulay orange sa logo?

[rocky]

^yan nga sis at mukhang maganda pati location. sana madaanan ko sya next week

[mama squeak!]

@bagaholic_chewy, I know! Everything was perfect. Second choice ko na lang si Shang after Abaca. Nagpa-plano na nga hubby ko na babalik, this time we'll stay longer daw. Tapos sabay isa-isahin daw namin yung mga resto ng Abaca Group in Cebu. Sira ang diet! 

@riandrew, first class talaga all their furniture. And what's great about it puro mga local Cebuano furniture makers yung mga source nila. According to their manager, 70% of their clientele are foreigners so nasho-showcase ang gawang Pinoy. Natutulungan nila yung local industry.

The banyos are something else! Tipong gusto mo lagi na lang sa banyo 

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ ambabango pa ng toiletries nila. And I loved the Laura Ashley towels

[mama squeak!]

^Oo nga! Nag take home lang naman kami. I told our butler na nagustuhan ni hubby yung soaps nila tapos pinabaunan kami ng marami. Sayang the liquid toiletries di pwede take home   The owner's wife pala makes the toiletries herself. Puro organic stuff, ang galing!

Good thing we learned about Abaca para sa August dun na kami mag dinner for our family reunion since hindi pala maganda feedback sa Lantaw Floating restaurant.

Thanks again for the recommendation! 

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ yw po. sayang, ok sana iuwi yung shampoo and conditioner nila. Hehe..
