Thanks. :-)

No, Verbena Suites is not that close to the pier, but taking taxi is an option since you're on a group. That's what we did, from Crown Regency to Supercat port and it didn't take us that long and didn't cost us that much. If I can remember, we paid a little over 1,200 for a night of stay in Verbena Suites and we were three to split the cost, one single bed and one double bed.

Sugbutel is indeed close to the port, but the area isn't that well-lit at night so you may want to consider staying at other hotels.

we're group of 5. actually yung rooms is good for 4 i think, we just have to addfor the extra person then P2,500 yung binigay samen. but they also have dorm rooms, mas mura though hindi sya private cr.

@renwock. can you suggest a place that medyo malapit sa port. we just wanna eat out and stroll cebu sa gabi.we'll be taking oceanjet to bohol,btw.


thanks in advance.

Hi mga Pexers. I need your suggestions on my Cebu Trip on July 6-8.
Kaming dalawa lang ng tatay ko. Nakapagbook na ako sa crown regency sa gabi ng July 7.

Darating kami July 6 ng umaga. I want to spend a day sana sa Moalboal or sa Oslob. Trip ko kasi snorkeling.. July 7 ng tanghali dapat nasa city na uli kami.

Anu po pipiliin nyo Oslob or Moalboal....
San po magandang mag stay sa moalboal na pedeng magsnorkeling malapit sa shore???

Hope for your feedbacks. Salamat..

moalboal would be near from cebu. ride a van so it wont have to stop alot unlike the ceres bus. you can stay for overnight at moalboal backpackers lodge at panagsama beach. you can snorkel off the beach but dont expect too much. ask around the dive shops if you can hitch to pescador island. ride a habal2x and visit their white beach. accomodation at white beach is pricier than in panagsama.

oslob is for whaleshark watching. i suggest you try to squeeze this in because its worth it.

[zerglingboy]

Thank you Sir for the reply.

Ito po yung naiisip kong itinerary


July 6

9:00 AM - Arrival in Cebu
9:30 AM – Ceres Bus to Moalboal (opted for Bus since we will bring our own snorkeling gears and fins) bulky bags.
12:30 NN - Check in Moalboal Pinagsama Beach
Resort with house reef for easy snorkeling???




July 7
6:00 AM Option 1
MoalBoal to Oslob for whaleshark????

Option 2
Pescador Island

11:00 AM checkout
2:00 PM check-in Crown Regency

July 8
12:00 checkout
1:45PM Cebu Airport to Manila



Naiisip ko din na pede nang wag ng pumunta sa moalboal kung may boat rental na mura for island hopping sa mactan...

Mahirap po ba bumiyahe from Moalboal to Oslob??

[fearich]

Hello sa lahat!
Pa help naman po saan masarap kainan sa bantayan island?

[jibmaxatnewroad]

headed to cebu on the 8th-12.. might do BOHOL too pag naubusan ng pupuntahan

its a good plan..i'll choose Oslob to see whale watching. Just try to leave early, but if weekdays, not so crowded and more on foreigners.

hi here. i have a flight to cebu on june 2, saturday arriving at 7am. my flight back is on june 3, sunday at 10:40pm.

it will be my first time traveling solo. i want to go to the beach sana. i'm thinking of bantayan or malapascua. which one can you recommend?

the lesser the tao the better. gusto ko kasi ng tahimik lang yung pwede lang magpalipas oras sa tabing dagat, magbasa ng libro, magexplore ng konti sa island. at the same time, relatively safe sa solo female travelers gaya ko.

and mga magkano po kaya budget? di naman ako maselan so mas mura mas ok. hehe. thanks all!

[curly tops]

^ 3 hrs byahe to bantayan kung ok lang sa'yo, try kota beach resort, when i stayed there last 2009, 1,500 ang beach front hut.

kung sa cebu ka lang naman, try portofino, meron silang 2,500/night.

anyhoo, i'll be in cebu ng may 10-19, kung meron andun, pwede ako maging tour guide, after work ko nga lang

Hi..Does anyone knows where to rent Coaster van that can accommodate 22 pax? Any reviews on YMCA? tnx..

[ikkie_monster]

hi guys!

from my experience in cebu halos kasi tuwing umuuwi kami ng bohol sa cebu kami nadaan.maganda accomodation sa cebu business hotel tsaka sa gv tower hotel.
cebu business hotel rates are as follows:
standard single 960
standard double 1019
pero kung weekend lalo na kung summer its 650 for the double standard

gv tower hotel naman is 650 for the single,double standard 950 for the panaview is 1020...maganda yung panaview promise!hahaha...enjoy ako dun eh

sa kainan i would suggest dimsum express sa colon st.masarap dun at affordable.halos lahat ng food nila masarap.tapat lang sya ng cebu business hotel

[annasui]

I'll be in Cebu with bf, sister and niece this June 15-17. Actually I've been here many times before, stroll ko lang si bf kase ngayon lang sha nag eenjoy sa mga travels.

We'll be flying via Cebu Pacific and Airphil Express, different flights for seat sale kase yung tickets namen hehe.

Day 1 - June 15
ETA : 7:50 am and 8:45 am

They'll wait for us at the airport, then planning to have early check-in at Cebu R Hotel.

Early lunch at Moon Cafe (IT Park or Ayala Terraces)

Stroll at Ayala Terraces after eating or proceed to these places:
Magellan's Cross
Fort San Pedro
Plaza Independencia
Basilica Minore del Santo Niño
Taoist Temple
*Taboan Market (optional for I still don't know if they want to buy pasalubongs here, yung mga relatives naman kase namen dun may makukuhanan hehe)

Dinner at Larsian go back to hotel. Bf and me might want to stroll at Mango Avenue.

We're skipping skywalk and edge coaster kase lahat ng kasama ko mejo takot sa heights haha!

Day 2 - June 16

Check out at Cebu R Hotel and proceed to Mactan to do early check-in in Express Inn since it's near the airport for the departure the next day. I don't know if we could just take the ferry to Mactan if ever meron man, para matuwa naman niece ko.

After check-in we go to Cebu White Sands for the day tour, thinking between Cebu White Sands and Costabella but they chose the first one. Sayang naubusan kame ng deal sa Ensogo. Anyway, ano ba mas okay between the two?

After the day tour, go back to hotel to freshen up then have dinner at Sutukil in Mactan or in Ayala Terraces.

Day 3 - June 17

Both flights depart at 12pm onwards so we need to be at the airport 10 am.

Can you suggest where should we have our breakfast? What time does Sutukil open there, as well as the pasalubong shops in Mactan shrine? Para after, go a kame sa airport.

*If may comments po sa itinerary, feel free to suggest please? Thanks guys!
