		<description>I don&#039;t think there are a lot of us.

You&#039;ll find pockets of them.  Quite a few hang out at Hard Kock, perhaps their beer is chepaer, I&#039;m not sure.  

They mostly play cards and get polluted.

You&#039;ll see some at the resorts but there really isn&#039;t a lot of anyoen there on the beaches, on the beaches around resorts that is.  

I found a place last night for as little as P300 but I can&#039;t remember the name of it now.  It doesn&#039;t have a beach and no air con.  I was about to reserve a room but discovered no air con.  I don&#039;t want to sleep without one.</description>

		<description>Rusty,  Marlin&#039;s Resort seems to have gotten some good ratings, and prices vary I guess. Are there a lot of foreigners  around the Island?  The island is really beautiful I bet.</description>

		<description>Lots of places but you wanted upper end.

Tickety  Boo is similar to Tristan&#039;s but fancier..  For me they need more fans.  They have a nice restaurant that over looks the bey but was too hot for me.

I plan to  try Saint Bernard&#039;s on my next visit.  Rooms are around P1000 to P1500 at those two places and both are on the water but Saint Bernard&#039;s doesn&#039;t have a structure on the water.

Tristan&#039;s is really nice for sitting in their open air restaurant  and relaxing and getting into the water.  AT high tide, their water laps right up to their stairs onto the beach.

I&#039;m hoping go next month.  Things are looking good as Jessie is paying. :)</description>

		<description>There are resorts in the high end.  Marlin Resort and Ogtong Cave Resort.  One of those has in room jacuzzi and prices from around $100 to $200 a day for the rooms.  I don&#039;t think any of the beaches are private but I don&#039;t think you&#039;ll find any of them crowded either.  The only time that might change would be during Holy Week then you must at least double room rates.</description>

		<description>I keep forgetting to do that.  I think I wrote detailed description on http://cebuexperience.com

You need to take a taxi to the &quot;north bus terminal&quot; and then grab a bus to Hagnaya.  The have the signs in the window but ask one of the porters, a lot of people will likely get to you before you can ask and ask were you are going and just tell them hagnaya.  The bus will cost you about P100 only.  
 
From there you take a ferry to Bantayan Island takes about an hour to an hour and a half.  You might find a taxi to take you for about P2500 plus fuel and maybe lunch.  If you stop to eat, feed the cabby too, its customary here.  Shouldn&#039;t cost much.  He may know a great road side fish market to stop at.  That will cost about P100 per person if you find the right kind of spot and great fish too.

The buses are kind of rough but if money is an issue, its the way to go.  Going out of Cebu City, the traffic can be rough, try to go just after morning rush hour, or better yet before it.  It wont be too bad going out of the city.  When the buses are not moving, its hot..  No air conditioned buses now, atl least there were none the last time I asked.  If comfort is important to you, then a bus is not the way to go.  You can also look for vhire which means van hire.  About the same cost as taxi but could be as much as P4500.  

Sorry there is not more info.  The site is pretty new.  If you make it, let us know what you think.  I find it pretty hard to believe anyone could go there and not be pleased.  If it gets hot, seek out that floating bar!</description>

		<description>Hi, 

Nice pics and commentary. It would be great if you mention how to get there from Cebu City. The tour companies from hotel desk I have checked are charging P5000+ 

I am staying in Parklane hotel, will be here for another 2-3 days.  

Thanks</description>
