Hello girls! :) I plan to surprise my parents (58yo dad & 60yo mom) with an all-expense paid trip to Singapore for their 33rd wedding anniv and I need ALL the help I can get hehe ;D No fixed budget for airfare as long as Cebu Pacific para mas mura :D

Questions:
1. Should I get them a tour package, let them roam around on their own or combination of both like 3 days package tour then 3 days free to roam around?

2. Please suggest an inexpensive hotel na accessible ang mga pasyalan areas.

Thanks in advance!
Hindi por que Cebu Pacific e mura sis... Most of the time mas mura pa ang Jetstar...

Mga sis, diba mura ang charles and keith sa sg compare here sa phil. Kahit sa mga malls less 50% almost ang price compare sa phil or yung mura na charles and keith na tinutukoy is yung sa changi citypoint and anchorpoint? Orchard area kasi ako, ymca. Kaya iniisip ko kung dadayuin ko ang outlets or sa mall na ko mamimili ng bags at shoes.

Mejo late post na. Last Feb12-15 pa kasi kami nagSG ni hubby. Comedy lagi ang experience namin at nakasurvive naman kami sa MRT na transpo lagi. Nagtataxi lang kami pag gabi na kami umuuwe. Stayed at plush pods hostel sa may tan quee lan street super lapit sa bugis at downline line mrt as in 3min walk lang nasa mrt ka na. Super nakatulong talaga sa amin ang streetdirectory kasi dun lang kami nakatingin para sa directions. USS, singapore zoo, merlion, makansutra, chinatown, bugis junction at sommerset lang ang pinuntahan namin. yung 1st day petiks lang kami. somerset at bugis tour lang ginawa namin. 2nd day Singapore cable car-USS-Luge ang ginawa namin tapos sa gabi meet up with friends until 3 am. 3rd day SG zoo, chinatown, merlion dapat pupunta pa kami ng MBS kaso pagkakain namin sa makansutra tinamad na kami dahil sa kabusugan. hahaha! 4th day uwian na, 11:30am kasi yung flight namin. Bumili pala ako ng ticket sa travel delight, since malapit lang yung office nila dahil bugis area sila. Nilakad na lang namin papunta dun para wala ng bayad yung service charge nila. Madali lang naman hanapin yung office nila from bugis mrt mga 7-10mins walk. Salamat sa mga tumulong sa amin SG trip.

re: getting to Sentosa
grabe ang mahal na ng Sentosa Express! $4 per entry.  kung USS una nyong stop, pede naman mag-BoardWalk. marami namang walkalator so hindi masyadong nakakapagod.  kung ayaw nyo maglakad at more than 3 naman kayong papasok sa Sentosa Island, ok din mag-taxi. pinakamahal na admission charge is $6 per taxi - kahit ilan kayo sa loob ng taxi.  isa pang option is to hop on RWS 8 bus outside Vivo City.  sa Resorts World ang baba ninyo. from there, pede na mag-Sentosa Express to other attractions on the island.

Nakabalik na kami from KL-SG trip, sa SEA Hotel kami nagstay, old na yung hotel pero mura bayad so ok na samin yun. Nagulat nga ko na may free breakfast kasi nung nagpareserve ako, room only lang daw. Bugis area ito pero hindi ko makita yung travel delight na agency so sayang ang discounted ticket.

Yung first day namin from KL, nag DIY City tour kami, ginaya ko yung nagpost dito na from clark quay lalakarin...Asian Civilization, Fullerton Hotel, MBS, Merlion and Esplanade pero looong walk pala talaga siya, ok lang kung kami ni hubby kaso kasama namin 5yrs old namin na nagpabuhat na sa pagod. lol After nun nagpunta kami IKEA Tampines, kaso hindi ko naman makita kung san yung free shuttle so balik na lang kami hotel kasi pagod na rin kami at baka di maabutan MRT pauwi.

Day 2 namin USS, nagboardwalk lang kami kasi mas mura $1 lang. Di naman nakakapagod kasi nga may walkalator pwede ka pa magstop for picture taking.

Day 3 nagpunta kami ng WTS Singapore Flyer para mag-avail ng coach transfer to Legoland. $20 roundtrip so mas mura kung dun ka na rin bili sa kanila ng ticket, $63 included na yung coach transfers. $56 kasi yung ticket ng legoland. May Ringgit kasi ko natira kaya dun na lang ko bumili ng ticket which is RM140. tumatanggap ng SG sa legoland.

Day 4 dapat mag Singapore Zoo kami pero hindi na namin tinuloy kasi pagod na rin kami so nagstay na lang kami sa hotel till check-out at diretso na sa airport.

MRT lang kami ng MRT sa SG so tipid kami sa taxi and nasulit rin yung Singapore Tourist pass :)

^And if you'll be buying so much things if ever, you can always have it boxed at Lucky Plaza and send it to your address in the Philippines, you'll get it in 2-3weeks.

sis, would you happen to know a trusted courier in lucky plaza? Tia!

@kayesl
Yung $4 sentosa express, hindi yun round trip na? The taxi na $6 per admissiom, kahit ilan, kahit 6 kami?

@rocky
Basta naka check in ka sa hotel. Not necessarily dun ka naka check in sa mga hotel na stop overs nila.

^^ sa ilalim lang ng USS yung babaan ng bus RWS8.  akyat kayo ng escalator tapos nasa bandang kaliwa yung USS.

^ yung sa Sentosa Express roundtrip na yung $4.  taxi charge is per entry (yon nakalagay sa website). pero di yata kasya ang 6pax sa sedan type na taxi...  hanggang 4adults lang. or 3adults+2children lang per taxi.

Ah thanks sis. Hindi ata kakayanin ng mga kasama kong pawisin ng boardwalk. For the taxi na 6$,Fixed na 6$ or taxi fare+6$? 2 taxi ata kami dahil 6 kami.

San sakayan ng 6$ taxi? Specific uSS taxi to or kahit anong taxi naman to from vivo city?

ay wait... naguluhan na kayo. hehe (sorry)

kahit na anong way para pumunta ng Sentosa Island, may bayad (admission fee to the island). 
- kung via boardwalk, $1 per person per entry. hindi sya mainit. maaliwalas sya kasi sa tabi ng bridge ang daan. maganda din ang view.
- kung taxi, yung $6 is additional pa sa taxi fare. yan na yung pinakamahal na gantry admission charge ng taxi. pedeng $2 lang. depende sa oras at araw ng punta nyo. yung $6 is weekend, 7am to 5pm.

kaya ko nasu-suggest yung taxi kasi based sa computation namin, mas makakamura pa kami eh. from our place, aabutin ng $2.50 per person pamasahe namin sa train+bus to vivo city. tapos $4 sa sentosa express. eh tatlo kami. so $19.50 na yon.  nag-USS kami nung Sunday, $19 lang binayaran namin sa taxi from our place (Pasir Ris).  sabi ni hubby parang $1 lang yata yung siningil sa taxi namin na gantry charge.

^I agree re: taxi. Madalas rin kami mag taxi papuntang Sentosa pero off peak kami madalas :)

Pero yung sa Boardwalk, kung mahina sa lakaran I won't suggest this. Just last weekend, sumuko ang mga bisita namin halfwalk going back to Vivo nung nasa Boardwalk kami kaya pumetiks ng konti and took some pics before namin cinontinue lakad.. ;D

PP2201, kahit hindi sa outlet mura ang C&K compared to Pinas :)

Thanks kayesl and girlcrush. Unahin ko na muna outlet tapos yung mall. May mga bago labas kasing bag na style yung charles nd keith na halos 3.5k dito. E gusto ko talaga bilhin. Baka sakali makita ko sa outlet,kung wala malamang nasa mall. Officemate ko halos php500 lang daw bili niya sa strappy sandals sa citypoint. Although sa anchorpoint ako so malamang mas mura pa kasi nabasa ko somewhere na mas mura sa anchorpoint. Sana lang hindi puro old stock.
