Directions to Royal Paradise Bed and Brekafast
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).
