Re: Cebu Thread 18 (check page 1 for Places to stay/Tourist Spots/Resto)

^ sis thanks for your comments. We decided plan A kami. Then doing research on Cebu narin (para next time).

Correct me if I'm wrong, looking at the map, parang most good resorts sa Cebu (4-5 star) are located within the city. So not sure if you can have a nice beachfront from the hotel. And every island hopping parang ang lalayo like bantayan, malapascua (north part). Then south naman - moalboal, whaleshark and sumilon - parang best to visit them from dumaguete. Itinerary should also include apo island and siquijor in other days

[FOURever]

^yes sis. Yun din suggestion ng pinsan ko from cebu. Kung south daw, mas ok coming from dumaguete tapos kung magcicity, dun na ang pauwi

Basta sis, moalboal and kawasan nasa same side, west coast. Yung sumilon and whaleshark east coast naman kaya sa itinerary, decide ka na lang kung saang side magsisimula. enjoy cebu. I wanna go back there soon. North naman. Pero i still have to explore south.

^mababait mga taxi driver don sis, pero kung gusto mo mas safe mag-grab taxi/car ka madami na don

Wala kasi kami celfone so not possible to do grab taxi. Any other alternatives? Our flight kasi arriving 12nn in Cebu. That means, mga 130pm na siguro kami makalabas ng airport. Ideally sana makasakay kami agad para we can take ferry to Bohol by 3pm,

Di kaya pahirapan magtaxi kasi December yun? But we are arriving on a Sunday Dec17.

Then next question, mahirap ba maghanap ng taxi from Cebu pier to Mactan airport on a weekday (12nn)? Yung mabait na driver

[FOURever]

^yung papunta sa pier hindi ka mahihirapan. Sobrang dami ng taxi sa cebu

Sa pier pabalik, not sure lang. Pero bus super dami dun so kung no choice, safe pa rin naman bus

[raine08]

Question..
Okay lang ba balikan Cebu - Bohol?
Mag country tour kami sa Bohol then balik na ng Cebu. Doable ba?

[Girltalker2]

^ sis, I've been doing some research, yes possible! Marami tours from Cebu going to Bohol Balikan.

Sa elderly, wag nyo na isama sa canyoneering. Dun na lang sila sa Kawasan falls #3 yata yun. Yung most famous. May kainan at mga cottage dun to wait for you. Saka pwede sila magswim dun.

Sige sis Fourever, hindi ko na lang isama mga elders. dun na lang sila mag hintay sa kawasan falls. thanks

[Ms. ROXY]

mga sis may maisasuggest ba kayong hotel with beautiful beach front? plano kasi namin magchill lang by the beach sa 2days. thanks

[Girltalker2]

[FOURever]

Sa day 2 kawasan mo pwede ilagay

Sis suggest ko lang, lagay mo sa day 2 yung whaleshark saka sumilon tapos day 3 na kawasan at osmena tapos check nyo rin lambug beach, bet ko yung beach na yun. I wished na nagstay kami longer dun. Tapos from there, sa day 4 pwede kayo mag moalboal pabalik sa city.

[a.k.a. HELGA]

Hello! A week after my impromptu trip to Cebu last Oct 30~Nov2.

Day1 - Early Flight to Cebu. Upon arrival, met with my brother currently based in Cebu and went directly to Lapu-Lapu Shrine. Konting ikot sa place, then diretso na kame sa accommodation. I was able to booked at Red Planet Hotel for 1.7K/night/2pax/nobfast. Hotel is ok for me. Malinis. No frills. Best location. Smacked right infront of Ayala Cebu. Konting rest. Then at 3PM we were out to go to SIrao Farm, Tops and Temple of Leah. Went to JY Square Mall and was able to haggle for habal habal ride to all the mentioned spots for 600/ride (2pax na), nagdagdag lang ako ng konti for the tip. I can share his cp # for anyone interested.

Sirao Farm - sobrang layo! But the place is very lovely. Ganda ng mga bulaklak. Actually along the way, maraming garden and dami rin nagtitinda ng flowers, I was worried initially na baka napick na lahat ng flowers due to the occasions, pero hindi. All bloom. Very amazing in the pics. Most of my friends in Manila who are not familiar with the place is asking about it. Ganda lang talaga. Entrance Fee 30PHP

TOPS - OA sa entrance Fee 100PHP. So-so. Ok sa mga may kadate. View is amazing yes. But also available in other places like Temple of Leah or during travel. May mga kainan sa loob

Temple of Leah - Dumating kami dito pagabi na. So medyo mabilisan na. Maganda but construction is not yet finished. I'm looking forward once matapos na ang constructions. Entrance Fee 50PHP

Day2 - Early travel to Bantayan. Will share this one on the Bantayan Thread

Day3 - Travel Back to Cebu City. Tour remaining Spots, Sto. Nino Church, Cebu Cathedral, Magellan's Cross.

I was able to try both CNT and Zubuchon. Di ko na kinaya ang Cebu's original lechon belly hehe. Masobrahan na ako ng lechon. I like the Zubuchon more. Naalatan ako sa CNT. The ube cheesecake at Zubochon is masarap din. For pasalubongs, I mostly bought  Shamrock otap at SM Cebu grocery.
