Can anyone recommend a good and cheap hotel near Panglao airport in Bohol that I can check in as early as 7:30 am (or any time of the day)? It doesnt have to be fancy.

For context, i'll be ariving with my wife at Bohol by 6:30am on Oct 29. We would like to check in a hotel as soon as possible to catch some sleep. So basically we would be in this hotel to just rest and checkout the next day.

Thank you in advance!

Hi all
Planning to come to Cebu for the 1st time .
Love to party at night . Definitely know about mango square area , But what about Ayala mall or IT PARK area ?
Which place has better bars , night clubs or nightlife party options ?
Which area is best to stay for crashing after party but also to walk around , eat and people watch during the Day .. definitely love conversations with locals as well..

Any inputs 🤔

Thanks in advance

Need a beach vacay. Iniisip ko sana Bantayan Island before Christmas. Is it a good time to go?

I’ll be flying for Manila pero mukhang mahaba ang byahe from Mactan airport to the ferry. Was thinking of 4D/3N and an extra night in Cebu before umuwi.

Medyo overkill ba ang 4D/3N sa Bantayan to enjoy thr beach? Or gawing 3D/2N plus 2 nights sa city.

Any other suggestions for other beaches? Nakapag Boracay na and El Nido. Really want to good beach area to relax pero medyo worried ako baka ma bore naman.

Hi guys. It will be my first time traveling outside Zamboanga Peninsula. I am planning to go to Dahilayan Nature Park, passing through Zamboanga del Norte to Dahilayan then going back via Zamboanga del Sur.

The tentative schedule will be on Sept. 18 until the 24th maybe, with 24th as the date of arriving back home.

I had ChatGPT do an itinerary for me, I am ofcourse planning to revise this given that it seems hectic, due to the prompt I gave it. The tourist spots seems okay for me as well. However, I would like to seek suggestions from those who have actual experience in visiting these places. Like, would you suggest to stay for 2 days instead in Dahilayan or other similar advices.

I will be using a car to traverse these routes.

edit: Don't worry too much about fatigue, I have done atleast 300km in 1 day in motorcycle, I think I can drive longer in a car.

Hello, I'll be solo travelling to Cebu 3rd week and kasama sa itinerary ko ang moalboal and will be staying for 3 days and 2 nights. I will be free diving.
Can you suggest what activities to do aside from canyoneering? Also is it worth it ba talaga mag canyoneering? Kasi mas gusto ko mag swim and snorkelling.
Do you also suggest don na ko mag hanap ng tours or mag book na early?

Thank you!

Hi! Anyone from Cebu City here? I’m travelling this month with my husband and toddler. We’re unsure if mas sulit ba kumuha ng rental car or mag-Grab. We’re only staying for a few days but yung hotel kasi namin is nasa Mactan na. Mahal ba ang Grab pag gusto namin maglibot papuntang city proper?

Thank you for the help!

hey guys. we are from the province and we're planning to celebrate my daughter's birthday sa ocean park.

Tanong ko lang sa mga naka bili ng ticket from Klook. Pwede bang bumili in advAnce or you can only buy same-day tickets?

Also, since it's rainy season, pwede parin ba mg biodome? yun kasi yung kasama sa package.

Thank you sa mga sasagot!

Hi! I’ll be traveling solo later this month. Probably end of this month or early oct. Nagche-check na rin ako online for plane/ship tickets, pero napapansin ko na minsan tumataas yung price pag chine-check or pinipindot ko ulit. 😅

Any tips kung saan kayo usually nagbo-book securely, when to book para mas mura, and kung plane or ship ang mas practical? Any booking hacks/promos to watch out for would be appreciated!

Thank you po! 🙏

Planning to go to Tagaytay (SB and Skyranch only) on October, early morning ng Friday so hopefully less busy?

First time we went there was by a private car but this time I’m with a different company so no idea what other ways to get there!

Thinking rent a car for maybe 6 hrs with driver? My bf can drive but not confident so wouldnt risk it. Grab? Huhu

Any suggestions would be such a huge help!

Those who have traveled to numerous places in the Philippines, what city (or to an extent, province/metro area) did you find very easy to take public transportation such as jeepneys, buses, and tricycles without ever using ride-hailing apps or renting a car?

I need some places that I can go to from Manila am thinking of places like caramoan baler but you guys could suggest another place

Hi!

Foreigner here, my family came to visit me in the Philippines and I have been meaning to take them to cordillera (Sagada, Banaue…); but Im a bit worried about the weather and potential floodings or landslides.

What’s the current situation? Otherwise I may opt for Iloilo.

Thank you!

Hi Everyone, I have a domestic flight tomorrow from Clark Airport via Cebu Pacific. Manggagaling ako sa Lubao Pampanga and as you can see sa news, severe ang flood samin.

Hindi passable ang mga mostly sa mga daan to airport.

Is there a way na magbigay ng consideration ang cebu pacific and makapag rebook for free due to this fortuitous event?

Hello! My soon-to-be hubby and I are planning our 2027 honeymoon, and we’re so torn between these two! 🥹

We’re looking for a medyo luxurious stay and somewhere that’s not too crowded. We’ll be traveling on weekdays since we want to avoid the crowds as much as possible, especially since we know it’s peak season for beaches around those months.

We are eyeing coco grove in Siquijor and santa fe beach club/sorana in Bantayan. But if meron kayong ibang reco pls feel free to share.

For those who have been to both islands, please share your pros and cons! We’d really love to hear your experiences.

Thank you so much! 🥰

Hi PhTravel buddies!
for context, me and my girlfriend are looking to spend our 3rd year anniversary between the two but we can't seem to make a decision kung alin kasi both places looks good and we'd love to know your thoughts to help us decide naman.

Initially we wanted to do thailand but the time itself is not allowing us since may mga work pa kami and pahirapan mag plot ng leaves since around thanksgiving time din yon.

But yes please give us your thoughts on this

what we're looking for:
- A room
- preferrably pwede mag smoke or vape
- mas okay sana kung may mga activities and all.
- sana may breakfast buffet
- may motorcycle parking dapat (wala pa kasi kami kotse hehe)
- gf wants a spa
- max budget for the room for 2 nights is 18k
- pool (goods kung may heated hehe)

Thank you people!!!
if you have other places to recommend pala, drop it down the comments, but bear in mind lang na preferrably sa may malapit lang sa cavite since we are currently residing here.

Hi everyone! For context i will be visiting Metro Manila in December for my birthday & anniversary with partner (A week before christmas) and we will be staying near MOA.

For my birthday i was thinking of something more simple which is either Texas roadhouse or TGI Fridays but i have seen on tiktok that texas roadhouse now is not as good. Is it true? 😅

For my anniversary, i have these 3 restaurants in mind but would like some opinions of those that have dined there :)

1. C lounge

2. Casa Buenas

3. Mamou Prime (Curious about this one even though it's far from MOA, might visit next time)

Thank you so much in advance for the replies po:)

Hi.

Do you have recommendations kung ano puede naming ipalit for our 2nd and 3rd Day.
Though 3rd Day we are planning for Gensan Tour nalang since our flight is 5pm.

Thank you.

Meron po bang night transfer from kalibo to boracay?

From kalibo to caticlan, meron po bang night bus/fx/trike?
Then from caticlan to bora, may mga bangka naman po ng 7-8pm?

Ang landing ko sa kalibo airport ay around 6pm.

Thank you.

My partner and I are planning a 4-night trip to Manila.

The main purpose of the trip is to enjoy Manila’s casinos, stay at some nice resorts, eat well, have drinks, and generally have a relaxed couple’s getaway.

I’m considering splitting the stay:

2 nights at one of the casino resorts in/around Entertainment City

2 nights in Makati or BGC at a good luxury hotel

_________

Is it worth splitting the 4 nights between a casino resort and Makati/BGC?

Or would you recommend staying in one area for all 4 nights?

Which casino resort would you recommend for a couple — Okada, Solaire or City of Dreams?

Hi everyone! F31 here and i’ll be visiting Manila in less than 10 days for a business trip but also have a bit time for leisure.

I’ll be staying in Makati area but would love to hear any recommendations or advice for a first-timer! I’ve researched few things that I’ll be doing; especially for coffee & resto. I’m down to any community events or any events that will be held around week 2-3 Sept.

Let me know what I should try or go, or any interesting local brands and welcoming any advices too! (Cos some of my friends told me to be safe too, but I’ll be around Makati, BGC, and Pasay City area only)

P.S. im from another SEA country.

Thank you so much in advance!

I’m torn between going in the first or second week of June or in January 2027. I’ve heard that there can be algae in Boracay during January, while June is already the start of the habagat season. June also feels like such a long wait from now.

So im going to Iloilo on Jan20-26 for the Dinagyang festival. I haven't booked my accom yet since im confused kung saan dapat magbook since sabi nila may mga road closures.

Also, im planning mag side trip probably on the 21st or 25th or both so saan pwede at anong org tours marerecommend nyo?

Plus when usually nagrerelease ng tickets for the dinagyang competitions? Any tips for this trip? Solo lang ako kaya im kinda scared

Anong magandang bus papuntang Bicol? We've tried sleeper bus ng Peñafrancia. Ok naman kaso sure kami na hindi na kami uulit. Asawa ko 6ft tall kaya hindi siya nag-enjoy hahaha.

Magkano na ba mga bus ngayon tsaka nasa PITX na ba lahat?
