[rocky]

^badtrip nga pag ganyan sis. pero tuloy mo na rin, enjoy pa rin naman yan kahit 2 lang kayo. isipin mo na lang walang istorbo & magpost ka ng mga pics agad2x para mamatay sila sa inggit. LOL

[aNgelofThEMorning]

sobrang kaasar talaga! perfect pa naman yung date kase walang pasok sa tues. tara samahan nyo na lang kami mga sis..marami kong "extra" ticket 

[rocky]

^hassle naman yon sis buti na lang dito sa office ok lang mag-leave as long as may leave ka. hehe!

[moonstar_004]

hello, anybody traveling to siquijor soon? are your plans pushing through? state of calamity daw kasi siquijor. now we can't decide if we'll push through with our december trip.

[aNgelofThEMorning]

sis december pa naman, I think ok na sya by that time.

mga sis may reasons pala kaya ayaw kami patuluyin, kung nagkataon na-experience namin yung lindol kase tues pa ng 6pm balik namin Manila... thank you Lord!

[moonstar_004]

i called coco grove. parang hindi sila aware na state of calamity sila, haha. and no damages naman daw sa resort, ok din naman yung port and yung daanan.

[rocky]

^nandon yong friend ko sa resort nila nong lumindol & medyo malakas din daw. tuesday ng hapon flight nila & in-inform ko sya na suspended mga ferry. hehe! ayun, umarkila sila ng fishing boat para lang mahabol yong flight

[moonstar_004]

^currently daw may ferries na to and from dumaguete.

[rocky]

^oo sis back to normal na. nong tuesday lang mismo na-stop operation

[iamtsina]

Di ba talaga nagrereply ang Harold's Mansion? O kailangan tawagan?

Pwede kaya namin i-avail yung snorkeling package nila sa Apo Island kung ndi kami dun magstay?

[iloveshoes88]

^hi sis! tawag ka lang sa kanila, may sumasagot naman and yes you can avail their apo island tour package. Don't get the rooms na nasa rooftop, I think I got yung mga itches ko from their bed dun pero yung mga dorm rooms okay naman and aircon.

[rocky]

balik na naman kami ni fiance dito sa january

[matetreyes]

gusto namin ni mama mag-apo reef! at bet ko din bumalik ni siquijor at hindi pa kami naka-tour aaround. sa coco grove lang kami nun. sama kami sa inyo ni jowa! hahaha!

[moonstar_004]

have you watched biyahe ni drew - siquijor episode? it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n8k8HK2NiU

they didn't tackle much about the island tour though, that's what i was waiting for. but i'm glad that coco grove got good reviews. can't wait na for our december trip.

we're 8 pax. right now all we have in our itinerary is the island tour, which i guess will take a day.

[rocky]

^^tet, tara! di ko pa sure kung anong week, ginagawa pa lang namin ni jowa ang itinerary. sayang nga di ko sila pwedeng dalhin sa mindanao. kaya libot visayas in 3 weeks ang peg namin

[moonstar_004]

hello, does anyone have any news about siquijor after yolanda? were they affected?

[matetreyes]

^^kel kelan?

[rocky]

^january, before sinulog or after. update kita pag ok na itinerary namin

[moonstar_004]

ok ba to visit apo island kapag senior citizens?

gano ka-senior? more of snorkeling kasi talaga sa apo. dun sa pawikan, you have to walk through slippery rocks bago ka makapag-snorkel. then sa coral snorkeling naman, you'll jump off a boat. my parents are senior citizens(mid 60s), i wouldn't bring them to apo. pero kung malalakas naman yung mga kasama mo na senior citizens, baka pwede.

[moonstar_004]

ang swerte namin sa visit to apo island, on our way back, we saw dolphins! at first we just saw them jumping from afar. then maya-maya, they were swimming alongside our boat na, then madami sila. nakakatuwa! first time i saw dolphins in the wild kasi. usually sa water parks lang.

coco grove was a nice enough resort. it has this rustic vibe. the staff were really nice and alaga ka. if you're after the beach, you might be disappointed. the beachfront is very rocky and full of seaweeds. very calm kasi ang water in siquijor. food is expensive though P300-500/meal. kiddie meals are priced at an average of P200/meal.
