Hi... I'm goin to Cebu next month and planning to stay in the Pension House (?) is it any good? Any info is greatly appreciated ^_^

 

Dati meron akong tinutuluyan, parang pension house, aircon pa. Kaya lang it is run by nuns. I forgot the name. Mura lang 500 pesos lang ata yung bayad ko. Malapit sa Cathedral/Pier area.

A friend of mine also stayed for a month but this was in Mactan Island. It was an apartelle and he paid P25,000 for the whole month. I am sure you can get more information through the internet.

Cebu, I use to stay at Marriot or sa Parlane as second choice....

 

But when the IT park is operational already, don na ako sa WaterFront Lahug walking distance lang sa newest gimikan sa Cebu ...

 

But if you have money to burn, well go to Mactan Shangrila Island Resort, Hilton, Plantation Bay and the likes ...... with rates starting at USD 150 ++ ............

 

Enjoy BAI!

I’m planning to go to Cebu this weekend as a backpacker, could someone help me with my quest…That is to get in many historical sites as possible in 3 hours…yes…3hours.

 

Could anyone suggest the most efficient drop zone to achieve my goal and places to visit upon arrival?

 

Hope someone reply before the weekend coz my e-z map won’t answer me back.

what kind of accomodation are you looking for? i suggest pension house since they are cheaper and if you dont mind going downtown they are cheaper there like pacific. hmm not sure sa rate ng shamrock but you can rent rooms there too it's in fuente circle.

the beaches in mactan island are more on the commercial side. if you want something more quiet then going to neighboring islands will also be a good idea. you have a choice of day trip or overnight stay.

 

also there are other options of beaches within cebu island you just have to travel 2-3hrs north or south. some places are perfect for snorkelling and diving.

LOL. ure asking how to travel to castle peak but you're not giving your origin so how can we teach you how to get there? but one answer for sure. no buses! di yan uso dito unless youre travelling somewhere really far. local way of transpo is basically just jeepneys and taxis. in certain areas may tricycle

 

now i can't tell you much about arena because i havent been there. anyway heard its the best among the bars and that they have the prettiest girls but also expensive of course. and dunno where its located either. best if u just get a cab nalng for that or ask the FD or the guard sa hotel:D

not familiar with mactan as i've never taken public transportation from the airport and if i do mag taxi ako. also i havent seen any jeepneys sa airport mismo bt baka may shuttle cla palabas. try asking nalang where ung jeep nila or vhire na papunta ng city like sm or ayala. chances are if v-hire going to ayala there is a possibility na pede ka drop sa castle peak but definitely nt sm. problem kc is location ng castle peak. walang jeepney dadaan ng castle peak from sm or ayala but you can take a jeepney a few blocks away from either sm or ayala na pupunta ng castle peak. it's 03A (signage sa front on top ng jeepney) if im not mistaken.

 

that's another thing. unlike the jeepneys in manila wherein u have to read each jeepney's destination in cebu we have coding. its the 3-digit (2 numbers and 1 letter) on top of each jeepney.

 

anyway, was thinking about it that if commute ka tlga chances are it will take u at least 3 rides to get there and ang hirap p to explain. i suggest mag cab ka nalng. fare would be around 120 give or take some.

 

just remember castle peak is located in mabolo. not too far from sykes and sarrosa
