[purple_girl]

hi sisses! need your opinion sana. i saw a deal in dealgrocer kasi for 3d2n stay in be resort for around 10k, good deal na ba yun? also, since may pre holiday si shang, medyo torn ako if i would avail or not. below are my options:

a. 1 night sa quest, 1 night sa shang
b. 2 nights at be resort

as much as i want to spend 2 nights at shang, hindi kakayanin ng budget ko. for the 2 options above, more or less same yung magiging gastos ko. tia sa mga magre-reply.

sis, ask ko lang, ang ferry ba from cebu to bohol (oceanjet), strict sa baggage? tinitimbang ba yun and may maximum allowed dimensions and weight parang sa airport?

[rocky]

^tinitimbang sis pero hindi naman ganon ka-strict. pag malaki papa-check in talaga nila pero luggage ko pwede naman handcarry & sinabi ko may laptop kahit wala para di nila ipilit na check in

^^thanks mama squeak!

[112214bride]

hello mga sis!! my mom and her friend will be staying at maribago beach resort for 3 days my birthday present for her. Any suggestions kung ano pwede gawin nila around that area. Nagbook na ako ng spa treatment sa kanila na me kasama ng theme dinner. Pero mahal din. Ano pang activity pwedeng gawin ng mga oldies? Thank you sa magrereply.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

uwel, there's not a lot you can do in Maribago Blue Water per se, but I do know that oldies like quiet time. So, they should find it fun to either just walk by the beach or they can hang out by that outdoor patio near the swimming pools. Should they decide to leave the resort, they can always check out the Mactan Shrine close by. They can also go visit the churches, suppose they're religious, but that would mean leaving Mactan and going all the way to Cebu city centre. If they're into shopping, there's always the malls and Maribago does have shuttle service to take them from the resort to the malls and back. They just have to check the schedules. Hope this helps!

Hi mga sisses can you suggest a beach resort na hindi kalayuan by the airport? max is 1 hr from the airport? Thanks and ano ba mas maganda tour muna sa city like 1 night stay then sa beach naman? where planning 3 nights stay naman sa cebu.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

Since the airport is in Mactan, it is in fact closer to the beach resorts as opposed to heading out to the city centre. Anyway, there's a lot to choose from. You can go to Shangri-La, Be Resort, Abaca, Movenpick --- all of which are in one strip one after the other in Punta Engaño. There's also others like Crimson, J Park, Maribago, etc. There's just a ton to choose from really. As for the itinerary, it will depend. If it's a weekend, like Friday as arrival, expect super heavy traffic anywhere in Cebu. Regardless, it doesn't matter if you go to the city centre first or the reverse. Hope this helps!!!

just got back from cebu, this time moalboal naman. galing kaming kawasan falls pero closed sya dahil nasira ng bagyong queenie yong mga tulay sa ilog. buti na lang may option B, so pinuntahan namin lambug beach & nagandahan ako sa white sand nya to think na public beach yon.

ang saya ng snorkeling sa moalboal kahit takot akong bumaba sa bangka naenjoy ko pa rin yong sardines run & nakakita ako ng turtle. sobrang bait & maasikaso nong bangkero namin, sya yong pumilit sa kin na bumaba para makita yong sardines run

ganon din yong tumalog falls closed sana yong paparating na bagyo this week wag naman direktang tamaan visayas. sana lumihis sya

ito yong sardine run

Meron bang mga jeep papuntang Buyong rd - particularly sa Costabella?
Sa bandang Banilad kami manggaling.
Gusto sana namin ng friends ko wag masyado mag-cab when in Cebu.
May nag tip sa kin na sakay daw Highway Mandaue baba Jbee then sakay pa-Opon. Tama ba? And san baba sa Opon?

Mga sis.
First time ko mag tatravel to Cebu. First time magpa book, first time to travel with my kid only. Help naman sa mga questions ko.

Since I took advantage of the cebu pac promo hindi na ko nakapag isip ng magandang date and time of departure and arrival.

Sa june kami bale expected arrival namin to Cebu is 10:30pm. Knowing their reputation baka madelay pa yan. Saan ok mag stay to spend overnight.

The next day plan ko is butanding watching kaso need to check out super early. Malapit ba bus terminal to Oslob?

After that gusto ko magcheck in sa mactan na lang. I heard Crimson is ok. Check ko din ang rates sa Alegre sana mas mura. Gusto ko rin yung Mike and Dione kaso sa North pala yun and need mag ferry.

Balik namin sa manila is super early naman 1am ang departure from Cebu. So parang 2 whole days kami dun.
