we will be in Cebu on July 13-14 morning.. we will be staying at Crowne Regency

pa help naman ng itinerary if DIY lang ang tour and must eat places for lunch and dinner...

DAY 1 Arrival at Cebu 6 am - ok lang ba diretso kami ng taxi sa Lapu Lapu before going to the city?

i will be making arrangements pa kung pwede magpaiwan ng baggage sa crowne since maaga kami darating.. saan maganda mag lunch and ano pwede puntahan?

[rocky]

^yes sis pwede since nasa mactan na rin lang kayo derecho na ng lapu2x. regarding tourist spots & resto, check mo sis 1st page nandon mga recos ko

[kaice]

^ thanks rocky.. ok lang naman magtaxi taxi noh? or better if we rent a van for the day na lang? 2 lang kami ni hubby plus a 17 month old toddler

[rocky]

meron ba day tour sa abaca boutique resort?

also, any review on escario central hotel?

[hun_nie08]

kaice nice cebu din kami nun, manggagaling nga lang kami ng bohol, so baka lunch time or after lunch dun kami stay. Di na kami maghire ng van or taxi. magkakalapit lang naman ang places unless sa city e. yung lapu lapu iniisip ko na lang daaanan yun bago pumunta ng airport,,

magellan's cross,
sto nino,
cathedral,
colon,
fort san pedro
taoist temple(depende) may oldies kasi kaming kasama e..

yan lang siguro pupuntahan namin.. since nakarating naman na kami ng tops, lapu lapu shrine dati.

cnt, casa verde and zubuchon siguro ang kakainan namin...

pasalubong sa shamrock, longanisa at danggit lang hehe..

[mama squeak!]

@eeatrice, nope, no day trippers at Abaca. That's what's nice kasi the checked-in guests have exclusive use of their facilities. Tipong solong-solo mo yung lugar since there are only 9 rooms in the resort. But their restaurant is open to the public.

hun_nie08 - una kami sa cebu hehe! baka magkasalubong pa tayo sa pupuntahan natin.. i searched it na.. magkakatabi nga lang, si taoist temple lang ang medyo malayo. We might have dinner at Casa Verde na lang... need ba ng reservation dito? Lunch eh somewhere na lang along the way Cnt (but we are not fan of lechon hehe)... merienda at moon cafe kung kaya namin

[rocky]

^dapat maaga kayo sa casa verde, mahaba pila don pag dinner

Crimson Resort and Spa

I'm actually overwhelmed with how beautiful this resort is. This is indeed one of the best resorts that I've been to. Plus points talaga yung pag-showcase ng world class furniture ng Cebuano designers.

The beachfront is short, pero maganda ang tubig.

There's an ongoing promo for local residents. 18,500++ for a Private Pool Villa. Mahal yes, pero compared sa mga 'branded' na luxury resorts na tingin ko ay same level din naman in terms of service and facilities and villas, mas affordable na dito.

Pics sa aking blog.

^hehe! sis, pareho tayong fave na ang tiger pa-cebu. bukod sa mas mura kahit malapit na travel date, never pang na-delay flight ko & gwapo mga FA

[riandrew]

hehe true! andali umuwi pag terminal 4.

[eeatrice]

grabe i inquired with shangri-la mactan and below is there day tour rate, ang mahal naman, better take an overnight with them na lang din kung 2 kayo

Weekdays - Adult (3500) Kid (1800)
Saturday, Sunday and Holiday - Adult (4000) Kid (2600)
Peak Dates - Adult (4500) Kid (2600)

[hun_nie08]

Oo nga mahaba nga daw pila sa Casa verde, and matagal din daw magserve so dapat maaga nga dun pupunta hehe..

[rocky]

^^sis eeatrice, OA na yang daytour rate ng shang

[kaice]

di ba pwede magpa reserve sa casa verde?

[rocky]

^pwede naman siguro sis, try mo na lang tumawag

[sacred cow]

may chance pa bang makakuha ng murang tickets papuntang cebu between now and january for sinulog?

[kaice]

question, since we will arrive at cebu at around 6 am? ano ba maganda gawin sa luggage namin? ang hirap yata magwalk around na may bitbit.. do you think crown regency can keep it kahit di pa kami naka check in?

[rocky]

^ano ba IT nyo sis? kasi kung city tour, mas ok nga na iwan nyo muna yong baggage nyo sa crown. sa mga hotel naman pwedeng mag-iwan ng baggage kung hindi pa available yong room

^^sacred cow, yes check mo website ng tiger air. kelan lang nakabili ako ng 334 pesos one-way para sa august 31 kasama na don terminal fee or check PAL every monday may promo sila, maganda sa PAL all-in na yong rate nila usually mas mura don kesa cebu pac na ang mahal ng tax kaya kahit piso fare mahal pa rin yong total
