Depende yun sis. ang payong need icheck in ah. so if magdadala kayo better have check in bagage kundi maiiwan na sa airport yung payong mo

[sweetmom]

mga sisses, ask ko lang if sina Ms. Kathy na rin pinagbilan nyo ng mga tickets for entrance fee. May difference ba sa price if kami na lang personally bibili during the actual day tour? TIA!

travel dates namin for our Cebu-Bohol trip is Dec 3-10. Wala pa akong nabo-book na accommodation and tours. Actually, naka-pencil book na kami sa Flower Garden Resort for Dec 6-10, pero naghahanap pa din ako ng ibang option. Parang ayaw kasi ni hubby kasi medyo malayo sa beach.

May alam pa ba kayong budget accommodation (not more than P2k/night) with pool at medyo beach front sa Alona beach?

Balak ko din mag-stay 1 night sa BBF just for the food So magiging 6D/5N kami sa Bohol and 3D/2N sa Cebu. Or 5D/4N enough na for Bohol? Para kasi mas madaming magagawa at mapupuntahan sa Bohol than Cebu.

Di ko pa din naayos iti namin pero sure kasama Panglao Island Tour (yung may dolphin watching), then Countryside tour. Backread/research ako later for other options. Pero mukhang ito lang gusto ko among the tours na nababasa ko.

Another option na iniisip ko is mag-stay sa DBR sa Dumaluan beach pero baka ma-bore kami since wala masyado mapuntahan (aside from the beach) and makainan. But I also want to see Dumaluan beach.

^sis try mo yung flower garden resort, they have pool at nasa likod lang sya ng alona beach resort. Eto website nila.

sis rocky, Pal has new policy regarding the check in baggage, if it's fiesta deal, walang checked baggage. For you to know if ticket has no free baggage allowance, pull up the flight itinerary, then click eTicket receipt, below fare details, look for endorsement then if there's a code na NO FBA means no free baggage allowance.

^ thanks sis. yes, nakapencil book na kami sa kanila. they gave us 3 days to deposit the downpayment para confirm na yung booking.

anyone na nakapag-stay na sa isis bungalows? torn between the two ako.

flower garden:
- has pool pero non-beachfront
- with kitchen yung room pero may mabibilan ba ng hilaw na pagkain sa alona beach?
- since non-beachfront, worry namin baka mahirap bumalik sa pag gabi

isis:
- beachfront but no pool
- has a restaurant na mostly positive ang reviews
- but the beach area in front of isis is often busy dahil sa mga bangkang dumadaong tsaka maliit lang ang shore

sa rate, 1700 sa flower garden, 2000 sa isis. both don't have breakfast and both have mostly good reviews.

kahit si hubby di rin makapag-decide. pareho kaming may temp reservation sa 2. we need to deposit by Monday. iniisip ko kung hatiin ko na lang yung stay namin, 3D/2N in each hotel.

^sis, tignan mo Alonaland Resort hindi nga lang beachfront and 10minutes walk pero meron silang free shuttle. May kitchen and swimming pool din sila.  http://www.alonalandresort.com/

[shinta]

^ thanks sis. medyo mas malapit pala ang alonaland sa beach kesa sa flower garden. will definitely consider this.

[pretty_B]

sisters, legit kaya ito:

TEMPTING!!! 

[friendlyneighbor]

^hi sis, chineck ko yung site, parang mahal ata yung 3300 per person for land package considering kayong 4 will stay in one room at wala pa siyang sea tour. For me, di complete ang bohol tour without the sea tour. Doon kasi ako nag enjoy talaga. If you will create your own itinerary, I think maka less kayo at ma maximize nyo pa yung budget nyo.

[pretty_B]

^thanks sis. di ko na nga yan icoconsider. haha. akala ko kasi with airfare kaya na-catch ang attention ko. airport transfer lag pala ang kasama. buti na-double check. HM ba ang estimated expenses kapag land tour?

[yown]

Just got home from our bohol- cebu trip! Buti nalang  di kami binagyo! Pinag bigyan kami ni lord. Kaso s cebu inulan kami. Kaya di na namin napuntahan lahat ng tourist spot.

[shinta]

kakatapos ko lang mag-backread whew! sakit sa mata pero dami naman info 

Manggagaling pa kaming Cebu, at kung masunod ang plano, after lunch dating namin sa Bohol. gusto ko sana DIY city tour. kaya kaya ito ng half day lang:

Loboc River (or yung isa, Rio Verde/Floating Village na mas ok daw food)
Tarsier Conservation
Man-made forest
Chocolate Hills
Hanging Bridge
Dauis Church (naiintriga ako dun sa Cafe Lawis)
BBF

Eto plan kong iti:

Day 1-4: Cebu

Day 4 (afternoon): DIY City Tour
Check in sa BBF

Day 5: PINR day tour + Hinagdanan
Check in sa beach resort

Day 6: Dolphin watching and/or Balicasag snorkeling

Day 7: Beach bumming

Day 8: Back to Manila

Wala pang beach resort kasi undecided pa ako kung bolod o alona. Parang di pa ako sure sa sea tour. Open na ba ang BBC or yung South Palms? Are they accepting day tour kaya? Dec 3-10 yung trip naman.

[melmedrano]

Hi mga sis,

Sa Feb 16 to 19 ang punta namin ng bohol. First time namin dito at marami kami this time (not just me, hubby and kid)... so I'm starting to plan our itinerary.

Day 1 - 2pm ang arrival namin sa Tagbilaran. I plan to visit the Dauis Church then derecho na sa Bohol Bee Farm. Dun namin balak mag overnight. Ok ba yun? sabi kasi nung nag inquire ako sa myboholguide, may kasama na daw breakfast at airport transfer dun. Totoo ba? Pwede kaya padaanin muna sa church bago pumunta ng resort? or hindi dahil may mga kasabay? Thanks sa mga walang sawang sumagot. :-)

[cherry]

^May included ng buffet breakfast sa BBF and transfers.  I don't know if pwede padaanin sa ibang lugar since kami that time diretso sa jetty port dahil pa-Cebu kami.

[shinta]

decided na kami sa bolod beach, so DBR2 it is. pero babawasan ko isang day sa bohol, so we'll scrap PINR day tour.

sana final na itong bohol itinerary namin:

day 1-5: cebu

day 5: city tour - everything else is optional except loboc river, choco hills and tarsier, basta kung anong magkasya sa time
check in sa BBF

day 6: lunch sa BBF before checkout
check in sa DBR2
beach bumming

day 7: dolphin watching and/or balicasag snorkeling
beach bumming

day 8: check out from DBR2
flight back to manila (10 am)


tinext ko na si kuya tatsky for the rates, pero di pa siya nagrereply. pag kay ate kathy ba nagpabook sa DBR2, may deposit?

[hun_nie08]

yes sis may deposit din. ganun din naman pag dumiretso ka sa DBR2

[melmedrano]

Thanks sis cherry. :-)

Sige, di ko na nga papadaanin... hehe! kakahiya.

[shinta]

^^ thanks sis hunnie. sayang walang magandang offer sa agoda for DBR2. minsan kasi di ako makaalispara makapag-deposit.

nagreply na si kuya tatsky. same lang din pala rates nya kahit customized city tour. and same lang din for dolphin watching w/ balicasag and balicasag only.

[sassyrar]

[bpa]

tinext ko na si kuya tatsky for the rates, pero di pa siya nagrereply. pag kay ate kathy ba nagpabook sa DBR2, may deposit?

nung nagpabook ako kay ms. Kathy wala siya hiningi deposit. Accommodation and lahat ng tour. Pagdating nalang namen binigay sa driver/tour guide yun bayad. But, sa white and greens kame nagstay. Not sure if sa DBR2 kelangan deposit.
