I'll try to be as short and coincided x does not make you bored and give some advice to those wishing to take a vacation in the Philippines similar to ours, completely DIY.
X to start our vacation lasted 3 weeks by spending a total amount of EURO 3000 in 2 people, me and my partner.
We started the day valentine from Rome Fiumicino towards Manila. The company has been the chosen flight QATAR, we bought the ticket online and pay 600euro to testae / R (a bargain) having regard to the media that was around 750-800euro.Il trip went very well, starting from a stop in Dhoa (only 40min x aircraft change) to arrive at the service erogatoci.Arriviamo in Manila at 9 am, picked up our luggage and carried out the customs procedures go out and we move from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 x take a domestic flight that will take us to Tagbilaran. Therefore, the international airport in Manila is divided into 3 terminals which are connected by a shuttle bus (free) or white or yellow cabs. For those not in a hurry, like me, otherwise I recommend the bus with 100 weight you can opt for metered yellow taxis xi.
Arriving at Terminal 3, we take our flight x Tagbilaran purchased online (15 euros per head) of CEBU PACIFIC AIRLINES one way. From here we take a taxi that takes us in Panglao where I had only booked the first 3 nights (20 euros a night) and then we'll see ... Paragayo the resort is called and is 200 meters from the white sandy beach, very basic but functional and quite pulito.In these 3 days we rested on the beautiful Alona Beach, very intimate, tropical atmosphere full of ex-nothing chaotic restaurants by the sea . Also you have the possibility to make excursions to the sea: Virgin Island, the island Pamiclan dolphins, etc. bolicasag ... land and do not miss the world's smallest monkeys (Tersier), waterfalls and other chocolate hills.Decidiamo to stay 3 nights.
After the first week in this wonderful gem we move to Bantayan Island post to nod-east of the island of Cebu. To reach it we had to take a ferry to Tagbilaran-Cebu voyage lasted about 2 hours with the company at a cost of 500 OceanJet weight ticket. Let me give you impartial advice: when you decide to travel by ferry, bus, taxi or air bring a sweater with long sleeves and hood because the air conditioning to two thousand Filipino shot and not worth ruining the holiday for crap like that. Once landed at the port of Cebu, take a taxi to the North Bus Terminal and then take 3 hours by bus to the port of HAGNAYA where you embark on another ferry ccon Bantayan final destination.
Here the only sore point of the entire vacation when you arrive at the port of Santa Fe the local boys they come at you like crazy to bring your bags and go on their tricycles x reach the resort booked. We had not reserved anything so we do advise and lead by one of these at a resort called TICKET BO located on the west of the port of Santa Fe on the beach of Alice Beach. This area, in my humble opinion, is the worst of the island always exposed to strong wind, full of various algae and dirt, to more extensive networks of fishermen to the shore, in short, impossible to swim or sunbathe on the beach. As for the resort another disappointment, more often lacked water, electricity, toilet paper, bad smell of sewage into the room, the restaurant was there but the cook had to go look around the resort etc etc ... ... .... In short we stayed 2 nights and we left. The Next stop was a small resort in the north of the country run by a German, already viewed online BUNGALOWS.COM Italy White Beach where we stayed 4 days and were very well to say the least! Absolute peace and quiet, relaxing but with all the amenities at hand, surrounded by nature, beautiful sea & beach ditto. We rented a scooter to go to Bantayan Town and see their open-air market, do not miss a glimpse of the Filipino, but with the boat at the resort we visited Paradise Beach, a private beach on Long 70metri very well maintained and with a sea has nothing to envy in the Maldives. I'm going to point out that Bantayan Island is a very quiet atmosphere with a pleasant but sleepy and there is absolutely nothing except the beautiful sea, so those looking for a little 'of night life or anything like that should not consider this place and perhaps not even the Philippines.
The remaining days we have spent on the island of Boracay the most noble and tourism throughout the Philippine Republic, in fact we feared the transition from absolute calm to the chaos of Bantayan, described such a network, Boracay which really has not proven that.
To get there we did the same only ritch back from Bantayan Cebu city, ferry and then 3 hours by bus. Once in the city you go immediately to the airport to catch our flight CebuPacific (twin-engine propeller) booked from Italy (17euro per person) that will take us to Caticlan, the nearest outpost, where there is a small port, from which the "coffin "Boracay. This is a long island about 7-8km wide and 2 poor, on the west side there is the famous White Beach, very white, with its stretch of restaurants, bars, hotels, resorts and shops of all kinds, while on the east is another beach, not short, it is exposed to the wind frequented by boys practicing Surf Kate (I do not know how to spell). This time we booked the hotel from Italy, here or there for all tastes and all budgets, we have chosen the SULU PLAZA directly on the beach and located in zone 3. I forgot the white beach Boat Station is divided into 1, 2 and 3, more one goes towards 1 and the more you raise the price and the noise at night, in my opinion the water in front of the zone 1 and 2 is unpleasant Because motor boats coming and going of this wonder that dirty. The choice of Sulu was As Well, quiet, eat an excellent Thai and friendly staff, some from the outside looked like a dive but the room was comfortable and clean, moreover we can not expect much from the price of 125 euros for 5 nights. Here you can enjoy many activities on the sea and not, from scuba diving, snorkeling, water skiing, banana boating, sailing and sliding away, not to mention the endless walks on the beach with the hot air that caresses the skin and the crystal clear water that occasionally blinds and refreshes.
Well, here ends our holiday, I apologize if it came up with some howlers but they are not used to writing.
