Directions to Cliff View Resort
By Air If you are from outside
the Philippines, you can take a flight to either Manila or Cebu before
taking another flight or boat ride to Bohol. Cebu is preferable to Manila
since it is closer, but only a few international flights arrive there.
After arriving in Manila, you can take any of the daily domestic flights
to Tagbilaran City which takes about an hour and fifteen minutes. Philippine
Airlines (PAL), Cebu Pacific and Air Asia offer regular flights from Manila
to Tagbilaran.
By Sea Ferries and ships are
obviously slower than aircraft, but they can save you a whole lot of money.
If you are in Manila, you can also take a boat ride via Superferry, which
is cheaper but takes more than 24 hours to arrive in Tagbilaran City seaport.
If you're in Cebu, you may choose to ride a fast catamaran
ferry (also known as "fastcraft") to Tagbilaran City seaport.
This usually takes about an hour and a half, and costs more or less 500
pesos. Supercat and Oceanjet are some of the operators of fastcraft trips
to Bohol. If you're on a tighter budget, there are slower ferries that
can take you to Bohol at less than half the price of fastcrafts, but they
usually arrive in four hours.
Getting In
Cebu Airport to Tagbilaran City
After getting out of the Cebu Airport, there will be a line up of taxis.
The ride costs PHP200 for the trip to Pier 4. You will then have to take
a ferry. All ferries take 90 minutes to get to Tagbilaran City. Schedules
and fees can be found on the ferry's website.
* Note There are also planes
that fly directly to Tagbilaran City Airport. There are scheduled flights
from Mactan International Airport (Cebu) to Tagbilaran City, which takes
about 25 minutes, while that from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila)
takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Tagbilaran City to Panglao
Once in Tagbilaran City, you may opt to either take a taxi or a tricycle
(a small motorcycle cab) to your hotel. Taxis are few in Bohol so your
best choice is to flag down a tricycle. Tricycles have no meters unlike
taxis so you have to inform the driver of your destination and agree on
a fixed rate. As a rule of thumb, you should pay no more than 7 pesos
per kilometer for every trip, regardless of the number of passengers.
For routes outside the city you may choose to ride the jeepneys and multicabs.
Panglao Island Guests going
to Panglao Island, particularly Alona Beach, can have their hotel pick
them up in Tagbilaran City airport or pier for an additional fee. Alternatively,
they should be able to get a taxi at a reasonable cost as well (PHP400
to PHP600).
