Help!
Now I'm really confused about my choices hehe:
1. Victoria Guest House - referred by a friend. Super cheap but no TV and no hot & cold shower. Plus no reviews found online.
2. Badjao Inn - affordable. But mixed reviews online, mostly coz of insects?
3. Balay Inato - read at least two good reviews/blogs. looks good. relatively affordable and accepts credit card. but a little far from city proper?
4. Hibiscus Garden Inn - place looks good in their webpage. Haven't read reviews yet. a little over my projected max budget (1.8k/rm/night).

Feedback anyone? Appreciate your views. Many thanks!

cheers,

1)I read here that we would take Genesis Bus to be able to get there, when we are at the baler terminal/is there any bus terminal that we need to alight or all the Genesis bus going to baler has only 1 terminal?? And when we are at the terminal what are we going to ride in able to go to beach front?? And how much is the cost??

2) Where is the cheapest place to stay?? its ok for us to stay in a Lodge as long as it was beach front or a few walks from the beach.. It says here that at the Bay's In?? Where is that located?? How can we get there?? And where is Sabang anyway, some I read that u still need to rent a boat b4 u can get there?? How much is the fee??

3) Where can we eat or is there any restaurant than offer Baler's delicacies, not so expensive restaurant??

4) What are the other tourist spot there that we can go?? Not so far at the beach??

If there's someone here that is from Baler, can I ask u favor to give ur cp no. so that if we are already there we have someone whom we can ask some inquiries..
I will appreciate it so much.. Here is my cp 09179373936..By the way my name is Gay, Im from Manila..

Thank you so much...

Hi,

My family & I going on vacation from 1st Dec - 5th Dec 09. Will reach Manila Intl airport around noon. My plan is to go to Boracay but it seems difficult to get there at the moment. If I decide to stay in Manila, what can we do or where can we go to have fun? I'm more concerned on my children (age 10, 7 & 8month old) especially its my daughter's birthday. I'm also thinking of Subic Bay. It is far or difficult to get there?

Thanks a million
Max
