[rocky]

^^maliit lang room sa hotel stella sis pero kung tutulugan lang ok naman

[purple_girl]

i'll be going to cebu next year with my little girl, bale 4 days 3 nights kami dun. plan ko sana is to stay sa city sa first 3 days tapos beach resort in mactan sa last day. any suggestions on where we can stay and anong mga pwede namin gawin? she'll be 5 by the time of our trip. tia!

[rocky]

^sa city i highly recommend quest hotel & radisson blu while movenpick & maribago bluewater sa mactan

[purple_girl]

^thanks sis! sige, check ko. sana kaya ng budget. may 1 year pa naman to save. hehe. 😊

[purple_girl]

how about sa be resort? ok din ba?

[chocolat]

according to sis rocky, maliit lang ang be resort. haven't tried it pa but that's where we're booked for the first 2 nights of our cebu trip this coming march. based on the iti kasi na ginawa ko, we'll be out most of the time din. so sa third night na lang kami magtransfer to a better resort.

[purple_girl]

^thanks sis!

Hello! My officemates and i will be going to Cebu on March 31 to April 3; first time namin lahat so we really have no idea on where to stay or what places to visit. Since group kame, can you suggest a hotel or resort na affordable and pwede kame lahat in one room? We're 6 and gusto sana namin na hotel or resort malapit sa mga kainan or some tourist destinations. Plano rin pala namin na magpunta sa Bohol for a day tour lang. Any suggested itinerary na din kase madaling araw dating namin sa Cebu and pabalik ng Manila. Thanks!   

[Haley James]

ask ko lang kung strict ang mga hotel sa Cebu...pwede ba dun ang sneak-in ng ibang kasama sa hotel katulad dito sa Manila? We're 6 all girls and hati-hati lang kame sa hotel if ever. Thanks ulit!

[rocky]

^kung malaking hotel naman sis hindi na kayo mapapansin non. pero hindi naman comfy kung magsisiksikan kayong 6 sa isang room. we tried mandarin plaza last month, tabi lang sya mismo ng quest hotel & tapat ng ayala mall. yong executive room nila sobrang laki, so kasya 4 pax don dahil meron isang king size bed & isang sofa 3,200 lang kuha namin ng promo napaka-lousy nga lang ng service, pati pool parang di nililinisan kaya kahit maganda room mas gugustuhin pa rin namin bumalik sa quest.

daytour in bohol? magpapagod lang kayo sis, byahe pa lang sa ferry 2 hours na papunta so 4 hours balikan

[chublove]

hi sis rocky, we cant afford movenpick and hindi na din keri mag save kasi this april na ang trip namin. i inquired sa maribago, i was quoted 1750/pax for daytour, inclusive of lunch buffet. ok ba yung food dun? hindi ko kasi masulit pag buffet, and i'd rather eat sa mga lechonan outside the resort. another question, they dont provide lockers, or an area wherein we could leave our things. eh 2 lang kami, so unless magswim kami ng soloflight, walang maiiwan to look after our things. are there any resorts that provide lockers for daytour? thanks!

hi sis chocolat, were leaning towards be resort din pero for daytour lang. keep us posted :-)

 hindi pa ako sure kung kelan talaga ang uwi namin kasi [textspeak!] pa kaming ticket pabalik gusto ko sana mabus na lang pauwi kaso bka maraming tao sa terminal kasi hollyweek na.
may alam po ba kayo na mas magandang beach na malapit lang sa simala church?
 

[fearich]

ano po kayang masarap na kainan na pasok sa budget sa labas mismo ng simala church? may mga fastfood ba don? tulad ng jollibee/mcdo? kasi mahirap kasi pakainin ang anak ko pag nasa malayong lugar kami yun lang kasi ang gusto niang kainin.

[rocky]

^try tingko beach in alcoy. hindi sya ganon kalapit from simala pero since nasa south ka na, keri na. white sand & public beach so walang entrance, nagsidetrip kasi dito nong nagpunta kami sa oslob

^^sis chublove, sulit naman yong daytour. about the locker di ko natanong, iniwan lang namin gamit namin malapit sa beach habang nagsi-swim safe naman yong daan lang papunta sa maribago ang prob kasi ginagawa kaya super traffic. pwede din kayo daytour sa movenpick 2k with semi-buffet food

[purple_girl]

@rocky

hi sis! ask ko lang kung saan mas maganda and mas child friendly, sa bluewater maribago ba or sa movenpick? next year pa naman trip namin ni daughter but need na pag ipunan. also, any recommendations ng pwedeng mga puntahan sa city? plan ko kasi 4 days, 3 nights kami, ang plan ko first 2 nights namin sa city kami, then yunng last night sa mactan para makapag-beach siya. she'll be 5 by the time of our trip. thanks sis!

[mama squeak!]

^Suggest ko sis since you still have time to make ipon, abangan mo yung annual sale ng Shangri-La hotels and resorts. They usually have it around Sept-Nov. The vouchers they sell are really good deals. Last year their newly renovated rooms (double occupancy with buffet breakfast) went for 8K only. I am sure your daughter will enjoy the kid-friendly facilities. Syempre yung adults enjoy din.

Kaya nga ako I always make abang this sale and buy vouchers kasi malaki ang mura nya compared to their regular prices. Our quick getaway kasi ni hubby is Cebu and we always stay sa Shangri-La.

[purple_girl]

^thanks for the tip sis! will definitely wait for this sale pag nagkataon baka mag 2 nights na lang kami sa mactan instead of 1.

[mama squeak!]

^You can subscribe to their website or like their FB page para updated ka when nila gagawin yung sale. Para tipid ka pa lalo, avail of their B1T1 lunch or dinner buffets.

 

[purple_girl]

^thanks sis!
