Sis mura ba kay rj?

[don em]

^I believe he offers standard rate with over the top service. Hindi ko talaga pinanghinayangan yung binayaran namin sa kanya last 2009 and my hubby even gave him a generous tip. We really enjoyed his company. Very truthful siya at very kind. Other sisses here may have also wonderful experience with other tourguides, but for me, I would really recommend RJ.

simply_aj, papabili kasi kami ke Kathy ng ticket sa ocean jet. base dito sa site
http://www.bohol.ph/article107.html the next schedule ng ferry going to Tagbilaran for supercat is
7AM. which I think aabot kayo. You almost 1 1/2 hr. mabilisan labas nalang sa airport madami naman
daw cab dun e. the ang dating nyo mga 8:55 or later incase me delayed pwede
padin kayo makarami sa country side tour. Kami kasi by pass na namin yun country side
tour on Day 1 kasi 6:15 ang dating namin sa mactan so ang pinaka aabutan namin is ocean jet
na 9:30 sched. kaya day 2 na ang country side tour namin and relax nalang sa DBR2

shegothim, bakit wala na ba available rooms for DBR1? sa DBR2 kasi mas better daw dun
ang standard room nila is 1800 lang per night 2 pax na plus 400 for extra bed if 3 kayo sa room.
so nasa 2200 lang ang per room nyo with breakfast na ito. Si Queenie Bongo ang kausap ko
supervisor. ang kinuha namin namin ay superion deluxed 2150 per night 2 pax. kids 4 years old and
below free then 400 for extra person/matress na.. Base sa review mas maganda daw sa DBR2
kasi mas luma yun DBR1 daw. public ata yun unlike DBR2 private resort na.

Mas pinili kasi namin ang Dumaluan kesa Alona dahil mas maganda ang beach dun
mas unti tao mas wala masyado boat daw na nakapark. Mas makakatakbo at makakaswim ang mga
bata.. Though hindi kasing dami ng resort at stores ang dumaluan kesa alona. pero ok na din
kasi sa DBR1 me BBQ-han daw so carry na and me other resorts na din naman nearby
and free breakfast na kami so wala na kami iisipin sa breakfast.

shegie_285, if familiar kayo sa Bohol then go ahead. Hindi pako nakakaresearch if me car rental sa Bohol like here in Manila. Tsaka usually ata pag car rental me kasama na driver. baka mapamahal ka lang din. At yun ibang location ng mga tourist spots wala sa panglao.. you need to familiarize yourselves sa road. For me kasi, hindi ko na iistorbohin si hubby mag drive pag mga ganyan kasi yun nga pwede naman me magdrive for us.. Me kasama na tour and explaination regarding sa tour so relax mode nalang kami.. yun rate kasi ng car 2k pag van 2600
ok na din kumpara sa magrerent ka ng sasakyan then gagasolinahan mo pa. unless ang purpose mo sa pagrent ng car e hindi lang pang country side tour pati na din pagpupunta nyo from one place to another like magvivisit kayo on other resort maybe worth it..

[shegothim]

actually di pa ako nakakapagpareserve sa alona dahil inaabangan ko pa iyong travelmart next week at baka makakuha ako ng good deal doon. sana nga sumali doon ang dumaluan para sa kanila na ako magpapabook.

[hun_nie08]

mistiqshannen Agree with you sis. pero yung 1800 sa dbr2 walang tv yun.. yung breakfast di ko sure if included na 5 years ago hindi pa e. Pero sa superior deluxe - oo. Buffet na din ang breakfast nila. may public resort ang dbr2 nasa pagitan sya ng bbc at dbr 1... Dun daw ang mga pang day tour. Mejo luma na din ang mga rooms sa dbr1 di kasi nila ata namamaintain. Di ko napasok yung sa dbr1 alam ko nagrenovate sila e. pero mas maganda pa rin ang db2 dahil may pool..

[mistiqshannen]

ah yun ang di ko natanong if sa standard room me kasama nang buffet breakfast kasi dumiretso kami
ng tanong sa superior deluxe e.

[shegie_285]

thanks mistiqshannen. Hindi kami familiar sa Bohol. Mas okay na nga magrent na lang ng van with driver, hindi na kami pagod mas familiar pa sila sa Bohol. We plan to stay overnight sa Panglao and then ibang days sa city kami mag-hotel.  Parang mas mahal ata ang mga hotel sa Panglao...

[simply_aj]

Thanks sis mistiqshannen.. Magpapabili nalang din ako kay miss Kathy ng ticket.. Mejo kabado lang ako kasi zestair pala ang pinabook na flight namen e baka delayed flight..

Regarding sa room sa Dumaluan 2 na 1800 per night e may breakfast na daw yun na kasama sabe ni miss Kathy

[mistiqshannen]

simply_aj ah ok pala. buffet na nga daw yun breakfast e. Direct naman kami nagbook sa DBR23
yun tour and transfer lang kinuha ko ke Kathy.

shegie_285 pag apartelle ata mas mura talaga sa City. Kaso, mahal ang transpo pabalik ng panglao.
I would still suggest na you stay on some days sa Panglao kasi sayang ang beach. Like if
sa day 1 magtoutour lang naman kayo for country side you can stay nalang in apartelle sa tagbilaran
yun around the city lang para makapag market visit din kayo. Me nakita ako dati nasa 900-1k
ata for 2 pax na one night. Pagkasundo sa inyo ng tour guide, pwede kayo magpahatid sa apartelle
in the city para iwan nyo yun bagahe then go for country side tour na.. Then idrop nalang uli kayo
sa city afterwards. On the second day naman you can go sa sea tour. Yun nga lang kasi if nasa
Tagbilaran kayo the cheapest you can get na transpo ay tricycle na 300 ang hatid to Panglao.
Me nakausap ako 400 naman hatid sundo.. tricycle lang din.. Then pag ka hapon pwede na kayo
magcheck in sa resort. Sayang kasi ang beach..

Kami naman kasi all 4D/3N namin sa panglao na kami (Dumaluan). Magsiside trip lang kami on day 3
sa tagbilaran papahatid sundo nalang kami sa tricycle.. ok naman kausap yun nakausap ko.
It was referred lang ng sis natin dito.. all the rest dumaluan na kami. Day 2 na yun country side tour namin.
kasi lunch na din kami halos dadating ng Tagbilaran sa day 1 e. so enjoy nalang muna kami sa beach.

[pretty_B]

Hi sisters, help naman. Pahingi naman ako ng sample itinerary for 3D/2N or 4D/3N. Magbabarkada kaming pupunta, so we are looking for adventures. please do recommend. TIA! ~cheers!

[shegie_285]

mistiqshannen thanks for that. suggest ko sa mom ko na two nights kaya sa Panglao rather than overnight lang..  I'll do thorough research para makapag-budget na.  Do you mind sharing your hotel sa Panglao? what's DBR?  Thanks a lot!

[mistiqshannen]

shegie_285 Dumaluan Beach Resort 2 (DBR2) kami nagbook. yun room namin is 2150
me mas mura sila 1800 for standard room. Base sa review from Tripadvisor mix reviews kasi
pero if hindi ka naman maselan na tayo ok naman maganda naman yun mga rooms nila.
Like ko best yun family room na me 2 queen bed ata look nice and cleaner ahaha.. maaliwas kasi yun
nasa website nila na ginagmit na pics. though nasa 4k+ e pero pwede na family talaga dun.
Yun samin kasi 3 adults kami and 2 small kids kaya nag superior deluxe nalang kami.
then mag add kami ng one extra matress for my sister and her kid 400 ang dagdag then buffet na din
sila for breakfast. eto website nila: http://www.dumaluanbeach.com/

[hun_nie08]

yung 1800 ng dbr2 - walang tv yun-not sure if may heater na din (baka meron naman)

yung sa ticket kung di naman peak season ok lang na dun na lang kayo bumili sa pier - ganun ginawa namin e. pwede mo din itanong kay ms Kathy

[don em]

Share ko lang itinerary namin last time we went to bohol on budget:
Day 1 - We stayed at Taver's pension house kasi mura then we rented out a motorcycle for Mag-aso falls, daytour in PINR (consumable entrance fee nila) and dinner cruise sa Loboc
Day 2 - Early check-out sa Tavers then tour saglit sa Danao for zipline and plunge, followed by countryside tour (skipping some sites). After the tour check-in sa Bohol Bee Farm. My first choice was DBR pero fully booked na yung murang rooms nila that time.
Day3- Dolphin watching/island hopping then sa Bohol Beach Club kami nagpahatid after. Daytour din so we paid the consumable entrance and stayed there till late afternoon before kami bumalik sa BBF.
Day4- Farm tour sa BBF then we headed back to Cebu

This November, medyo nahihirapan ako mag arrange ng ITI kasi diverse group kami. 3 kids below 5 and 3 senior citizens kasama. I want them to enjoy Bohol as much as I enjoyed it before.

[yown]

Sis sulit ba day tour sa pinr? Sabi wala daw reservation dun?

[pretty_B]

^sis, magkano nagastos nyo sa last trip nyo?

[don em]

November 2009 pa yung last trip namin sisses. For me sulit yung day tour sa PINR because you can use their facilities and may locker provided. Around 13k siguro lahat lahat gastos namin for Bohol Trip except for the ferry. Accomodations namin is 900 yung sa Tavers and 2000/night sa BBF. 550php na yata ang PINR daytour ngayon, dati we paid 450php. Yung BBC nman ang sabi on-going ang renovations so di muna yata nag-aaccept ng daytour. I love the BBC beach. Super relaxing.

[pretty_B]

^ilan kayo sis? magbabarkada kaming pupunta siguro 4-6 kami. gusto namin ng adventures eh. mukhang okay ata ang iti nyo.

[don em]

Couple kami that time. Mas matipid kung mas madami (car/van rental wise at accomodations).
This November here's my plan (medyo mas magastos nga lang)
Day1- Countryside Tour
Day 2- I would skip dolphin watching but I want to go back to Balicasag. My worry is the kiddos ages 4,3, and 2 kung safe ba. (Option 2 is iwan yung kids sa BBF) Gusto ko rin ma visit ng sis ko yung virgin island. Then, after island hopping, my plan is magpahatid sa Linaw Beach Resort to eat lunch at their restaurant (kung pwede) before we go back to BBF.
Day3- Will indulge at BBF's buffet before checking out. Then go to Amorita at Alona for overnight stay. I plan to try diving this time. Problem is walang may gusto sa mga kasama ko.. hehe... Sana maisingit ko pa.
Day4 - Enjoy Amorita's facilities before checking out.

Safe ba isama ang kiddos sa island hopping? Yan ang malaki kong question kaya hindi ko pa mafinalize ITI namin. Ang hirap!

[pretty_B]

^so, 13k for 2 na yun? kasya na kaya ang 5-8k na budget per tao?

nalilito ako sis iti mo. sorry. >___< hindi pa kasi ako nakakapagresearch masyado about bohol eh. and this trip na pinaplano namin ang first trip namin to bohol. so, wala pa ako idea sa mga lugar.
