vacation to Cebu –> pocket money?
April 28, 2009 - Posted in cebu vacation
Hey =]…
I haven't been to the Philippine for almost 7 years now, and im planning to go back to Cebu this summer, and i'll be staying there for about 5 to 6 weeks…. Is 1000 canadian dollars (around 41, 500 PHP) enough for a pocket money? or is it lacking?
~I dont have to worry about where i'm staying because we still have houses there (so i'm deff. not spending my money there..) but i am planning to stay at a couple of resorts for a couple of days (i.e. Plantation bay/Shrangri-La or Cebu beach club)
~I'm planning to go to bohol/bantayan and manila
~I dont plan to eat out everyday but i do plan to eat a lot =D
~and of course, most of the money is going towards shopping
So is the money enough… if not. can anyone estimate how much should i bring?
Thanks =D
if you go to plantation bay or shangrila it will rip out your pocket. one night itself in plantation bay is almost P8000 a night and thats the cheapest room and thats not including meals or any water sport activities. The meals sooo expensive and I paid dollars when I went there. Seriously for one meal is like almost p1000. The hotdog was the cheapest P250 hehe. Anyway, shangrila is about the same price. Its only worth it if you bring lots of money 
If you go to Manila 41,500 is nothing, youll spend your money there like water so becareful.
Im going to the Philippines next month and cebu, bohol, cagayan and camiguin are my destinations. Im not even going to Manila cause too expensive just stopping by cause my plane stops there lol. I'm bringing $3500 with me thats P148,750 and my parents have vacation homes there too. Im bringing a lot because Im staying over there for 1 month & I want to do lots of shopping You should really bring at least 3500 canadian dollars to really really enjoy your vacation! You can bring less but you going to have to limit yourself!!!Its always better to bring more just incase.
I went to philippines last year for 3 weeks and I havent been there for 6 yrs & 1 month, I only brought P73,500 and I was shocked of how expensive it was in the Philippines not like the old days. My parents covered me most of the time so i was safe:)
Have a good trip!! Enjoy!
