There’s a high-end resort in Alegria that promises its guests nothing but top-notch service, mesmerizing views, and exclusivity. Alegria Water Front Beach House should be on top of your list when planning for a sojourn down south of Cebu.

Their infinity pool is the best spot to witness the sunset especially as the beach house slowly turns on its lights to usher in the evening darkness. The view at the pool side at nighttime is made spectacular with the effect of the lights on the pool and surrounding structures.
The management puts an emphasis on exclusivity. They only have 9 rooms, 2 of which are sea view rooms and the rest are pool view rooms. Moreover, they only accept guests who made online reservations through Airbnb, so you are assured that the place will not be teeming with guests and you get to enjoy some privacy.
Other features which you can enjoy in the resort include:
A lobby shop
Restaurant
Water refilling station
Pebbled beach front
Common dining area
Common kitchen
Free wi-fi
Parking lot
Spa (under construction)
Another good point for Alegria Water Front Beach House is it is accessible to a lot of nearby tourist sites. It’s just 5 minutes away from Kawasan falls! It’s also approximately 20 minutes away from Mt. Lanaya and Montpellier falls. Other nearby attractions include the Cambais falls and Pescador Island. So if you are an adventure junkie who wants to be at the center of action, this is the place to be.
RATES & OTHER INFORMATION

Pour good vibes into your 2021 cup by giving Charlie’s Cup a visit.
Charlie’s Cup is a roadside nature cafe hanging by the cliffs of Balamban. This treehouse-esque chill destination has a great unobstructed view of the verdant mountains and a very soothing breeze to complement the views.
Additionally, the combination of wood, metal, and glass gives a very clean and charming look that blends well with nature despite its modern architecture. A couple of trees sprout from under the wood panels and shoot forth into the open where the sun shines brightly. All of these elements put together creates a simple and rustic vibe that’s both pleasant and extremely comforting to the soul.

As the sun sets, Charlie’s Cup creates a different kind of scenery that’s equally charming and relaxing. At night time, the cafe illuminates the dark mountainside with lanterns that are hanging on the branches of the trees. It creates a different kind of charm but still makes the cafe relaxing and comforting.

Charlie’s Cup isn’t just a tambayan for friends and family. It’s a place where fur parents may gather as well to let their fur babies meet other pets and owners. In fact, the cafe was actually named Charlie which is the treasured fur baby of the owner so rest assured that Charlie’s Cup is also designed with pets in mind. Kids also have their own small corner where they can play and mingle with other kids. It’s open and very visible so parents can easily see if their kids are doing okay.
Charlie’s cup is your go-to cafe if you like spending a portion of your time just staring and appreciating mountain views and thinking about life. They serve the typical cakes and coffee that every standard cafe has but the mesmerizing natural views of Cebu makes it a must visit.

As a Cebuano who has traveled around Cebu since its tourism re-opened last July-August 2020, I initially found it difficult and confusing. Despite the government’s efforts to boost again our local tourism, it’s still not easy to travel as policies frequently change. But don’t fret. Here’s a guide to help you have a less stressful traveling in Cebu as we support and travel local this 2021.
But before we begin answering the frequently asked questions on local traveling, you should first know that CEBU consists of four (4) independent political jurisdictions that have different policies:
Cebu City
Lapu-Lapu City: Mactan Island except Cordova
Mandaue City
Cebu Province (biggest among the 4): All towns and municipalities in entire Cebu except Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu City and Mandaue City
Most importantly, when you travel or even as soon as you step outside your homes, always make sure to wear your face masks and face shields and observe social distancing. These are the most basic requirements you should remember at all times. Let’s get started!
1. What are the requirements needed to visit an attraction in Cebu?
CEBU PROVINCE & LAPU-LAPU CITY:
For PUBLIC attractions like beaches, waterfalls, and other natural attractions or tours (Oslob whale shark, canyoneering, etc.), it’s best to contact first the destination’s local government unit (LGU) Tourism department especially that policies per area frequently change due to the ongoing pandemic. This will also save you time as there are days a certain attraction is closed temporarily for a day or a week. Refer to the list of contact numbers per LGU at the end of the article.
For PRIVATE destinations like resorts, beach houses and private stays, you must have a prior reservation or booking confirmation. Most property owners will also guide you with the other requirements needed by their LGU (if there’s any). Some resorts can also be booked online via Agoda.
Most restaurants (if not all) can also now accommodate children and seniors.
The Cebu Province also has an Online Tourism Portal where you can conveniently book a travel experience online. Here’s the official link: https://discover.cebu.gov.ph/
CEBU CITY & MANDAUE CITY:
For hotels and resorts in Cebu City & Mandaue, prior booking is required. This can be done online through the properties’ websites or through Agoda.
For attractions like museums, flower gardens, and others, walk-ins are allowed but may be subject to the property’s availability and policies. Kids and seniors are not advised to travel.
2. Are kids and seniors now really allowed to travel?
YES, for areas in Cebu Province and Lapu-Lapu City. The kids and seniors can join the whole family when staying in a resort or hotel, or dining in.
NO, for areas in Cebu City and Mandaue City generally. Though these cities are also under MGCQ, the LGUs still impose age restrictions for leisure movements. “Generally” is emphasized here as some hotels and resorts allow children and seniors, while most (if not all) restaurants cannot accommodate them. It’s best to give the establishment a call first if you’d like to bring kids and seniors.
3. Is there a public transportation available?
CEBU PROVINCE:
For south-bound travels, there are already buses at the South Bus Terminal near E-Mall in Cebu City.
For north-bound travels, head on to the North Bus Terminal in its new location at SM City Cebu’s open parking lot (across Bayfront Hotel).
For areas near Cebu City, there are already jeepneys (select routes) or you can hail a taxi/GrabCar.
Requirement for PUVs (bus/jeepneys/taxis) is wearing a face mask and face shield.
LAPU-LAPU CITY, MANDAUE & CEBU CITY:
Modern jeepneys and select public jeepneys have resumed operations. Requirement for PUVs is wearing a face mask and face shield.
4. Are there specific guidelines for beaches?
Beaches can be found in Cebu Province, in north and south parts of Cebu. These are the guidelines set by the Cebu Provincial Government for beaches:
Only 50% of the maximum carrying capacity of the beach front area shall be occupied.
Food and drinks are not allowed on the beach.
Physical distancing must be followed at the premises and during swimming.
There shall be a regular sterilization of all rented beach gear and equipment using Ultraviolet Germicidal Light. Instructions on the proper handling and use of sterilizing must be strictly observed.
As for Lapu-Lapu City or Mactan area, similar guidelines shall also be observed.
5. Is there a curfew?
Most public attractions are already closed past 5PM for safety reasons. However, generally for public places or private properties with outdoor settings, curfew is set within 12MN to 5AM the following day.
Malls in Cebu City are allowed to open until 10PM, while restaurants are permitted until 11PM.

Nothing whets the Filipino appetite like a good serving of pasta and chicken.
At BugsyClarkResto in Talisay, their servings are not only good but are also unlimited. The unli dishes are prepared by well-known sous chefs from prestigious hotels, Chef Arnel Quilestino and Chef Mark Anthony Labus.
This particular resto in Talisay has upgraded the usual unlimited chicken wings and has added pasta into the mix. For only P199, anybody can taste unlimited servings of 3 flavors of pasta or lasagna with 4 different varieties of richly-coated chicken.

The pasta menu has a couple of sauces to choose from that range from creamy to perfect tomato acidity.
Creamy Carbonara Putanesca- that’s covered in a rich, white sauce and sprinkled with cheese and herbs
Aglio Olio – which is a traditional Italian dish which is made by sautéing sliced, minced, or pressed garlic and then drizzled with olive oil – sometimes with the addition of dried red chili
Mix-your-own pasta- which seems to be the best, only requires a little bit of desire for pasta and a wild imagination
Pasta Flavours:
Aglio Olio e Olio
Carbonara Putanesca
Vegetable Tomato
Mix your own Pasta
Aside from noodles, their menu also includes a mouth-watering lasagna which is another option for those who don’t prefer eating noodles. As for the chicken, visitors claim that they have a very tender meat that pairs well with the sauces. The chicken sauces are mostly different variations of barbecue sauces that were personally made by the chefs themselves.
Chicken Wings:
Kentucky BBQ Sauce
Smoke BBQ Sauce
Texas BBQ Sauce
Bugsy Clark Sauce
Cravings will surely be satisfied and taste buds will never get bored with the variety of sauces and unlimited options that are available in BugsyClark Resto.

As the effects of 2020 will not be gone entirely, it is smart and necessary for us to pay attention to our homes. Invest in quality furniture and home tools that will last for the next 10-20 years. Have our rooms redesigned and of course buy personal belongings that are much more comfortable.

One thing that 2020 has taught us is that we should live life to the fullest. It’s quite unpredictable. With the world in chaos, we look upon ourselves and reflect on what we really want to do, what we want to achieve. Maybe the ones we are currently chasing after isn’t what we want anymore.
May it be simple goals like drinking lots of water, to leaving your day job and starting your own business, to marriage and to building your own house, our pursuit to happiness takes priority today.

6. Invest in long term financial investments
This day and age, we all need to be smart and forward-thinkers. The earlier we start investing, the more we will be able to earn in the long run. Saving won’t be enough anymore, you have to invest your money where growth is possible to reach your financial goals.
Most young professionals don’t have enough knowledge on investments and some are afraid because it carries some risks.
Financial tips and guidance can now be looked up online so you don’t have to worry. Stocks, mutual funds, real estate, agriculture, land, and so on are some of the channels you can invest in to get returns.
7. Invest in emergency funds
Emergency funds are a must. You can never be certain with life. Surely, the pandemic has taught us that. Accidents happen, unforeseen situations and expenses are inevitable; it’s best to always be prepared.
Putting aside 3 to 6 months’ worth of expenses is a good rule of thumb, but sometimes it’s not enough. If you’re able, you might want to think about expanding your emergency savings.
Your emergency fund should be kept safe and untouched unless absolutely necessary.
For a fresh start in 2021, always ensure to invest you time, money and energy in the right places. Take advantage of mall-wide sales so you get the best value for your money for essential items you spend and take advantage of the technology we have today to learn everything you need to succeed in life.

Get ready to have your skin tanned in Alcoy’s Playa del Sur. This humble destination in the south provides a simple and affordable getaway for the entire family. The resort has a peaceful ambiance that soothes the nerves and relaxes the body.
There are barely any houses nearby so rest assured that despite being an open area, the guest will have the privacy that they need to be able to fully enjoy with everybody. Surrounding the vicinity of the resort are small bodies of water and a lot of tropical trees that all contribute to the nature vibe of the resort.
The main attraction of the resort is their swimming pool which could accommodate a large number of people. The pool is also deep enough that adults would be able to enjoy their swim yet shallow enough for kids to swim safely on their own – the perfect balance of depth that allows everybody to enjoy their time together without leaving anyone out.
Just like the outside of the resort, the inside is dominated with the sight of dwarf palms – a short variety of coconut trees growing up to 16 feet in height.
There are cottages by the side of the pool where everybody can place their things and set up their food for a hearty Cebuano-style feast. After a good swim to beat the heat of the sun, it’s also spacious enough to accommodate everyone needing a break from the tiring water activity.
At the end of the day, the entire group will be leaving the resort feeling content and having a day well-spent.
RATES & OTHER INFORMATION
POOL DAY USE:
Adults: P80 per adult
Kids: P50 per child

We always say that distance doesn’t matter but when a beach as close as Palm Beach in Minglanilla makes itself known, then it definitely does.
Palm Beach Hotel and Resort is only one of the many beaches that fringe the hems of Cebu but it is also one of the closest to the city being only 15 kilometers away from the city.
Aside from being easily accessible, Palm Beach Hotel and Resort also has a very affordable entrance fee but it would only be worth it for those who won’t mind the color of the sand and would prioritize the fun experience.
The beachfront has an extensive shore filled with fine cream-colored sands that is spacious enough for activities such as beach volleyball and Frisbee. The shore as well as the waters are cleaned regularly to maintain their pristine look. In some parts of the beach, there are also occasional rock formations that would make great backdrops for a quick photo op.
Aside from the distance, this resort has the basic facilities that any beach resort would have. There are native cottages where day-use guests could immediately settle down upon their arrival to the resort. For overnight guests, there are accommodations that provide security and comfort to every checked-in guest.
The unique thing about the rooms is that they can be rented in different intervals. They can be rented for 6, 12, or 24 hours so guests can gauge how long they will be staying and rent the hours most suitable for them.

Another advantage of being close to the city is proximity to other important places such as markets, convenience stores, and restaurants. It is very useful for quick getaways where time doesn’t have to be spent too much on preparing because there are stores nearby that can cover some basic necessities.
The proximity of the beach resort also doesn’t mean that it is already less relaxing than other beach resorts in the island. The accommodations and beach area are quite secluded from the main road so guests will still have that peace and calm once they’re inside the resort.
NOTE: With the very affordable entrance fee and room rates, don’t expect too much from this budget resort.
Exact location: Brgy. Tungkop, Minglanilla, Southern Cebu — approx. 45 minutes to 1 hour away from Cebu City.
BY JEEPNEY: There are many jeepneys going from Cebu City to Minglanilla. You can get down at A. Apostol St. near Joshtina – Purified Drinking Water. The resort is just a few more meters in so from there, you can ask the locals where you can ride a tricycle going to the resort.
BY CAR: Navigate with Waze or Google Maps and set your destination to “Palm Beach Hotel and Resort” in Tungkop, Minglanilla. Parking space is available but for a fee of P20.
Exploring, although a very fruitful and memorable adventure, can take a toll on the body due to exposure to different elements outside. When visiting the municipality of San Remigio to explore and take a gander at the longest shoreline in Lapyahan sa San Remigio and other destinations, the best place to retreat after a fun and long day is JJS Hotel and Resort.
This humble abode is located at the heart of San Remigio. One of the best things about JJS Hotel and Resort is its accessibility and availability. It is only a few minutes of walking away from the famous Lapyahan sa San Remigio and San Juan Church. Events mostly happen near the Lapyahan so guests of JJS Hotel and Resort won’t miss out on any fun activities.
Recently opened just last March 2020, JJS Hotel and Resort boasts of its modern-style architecture with rooms and other facilities that will make anybody’s stay comfortable. It has a total of 16 rooms complete with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and comfort rooms. Moreover, most of them have a window view so mornings are bright and full of energy.
Hidden at the back of the hotel is the outdoor pool with lounge chairs and umbrellas lining one side and grass and plants on the other. The refreshing teal of the water is an irresistible view which can entice anyone who sets their eyes on it. There is also the kiddie pool for the kids and on the opposite end is the jacuzzi – the perfect spot to relax after a tour of San Remigio.
JJS Hotel and Resort also has a restaurant at the ground floor that will surely fill the guests with hearty meals from their selection of Classic Filipino dishes and other food varieties.
Just within the restaurant are JJS Bar and JJS Cafe which both allow guests to experience different dining experiences. Present at the bar are various local beers, whines, whiskeys, spirits, liquors, and cocktails. They also have specialty pizzas made with their very own recipe. JJS Cafe has a selection of refreshing drinks such as Frappes, Milk Tea, and Fresh Fruit Shakes which are available anytime guests need a sip.
Just beside the kiddie pool is a playground for kids and feeling-like-kids which is complete with swing sets and slides that are perfect for playdates with the children. It is a guarantee that kids will enjoy sliding down the slides and splashing into the kiddie pool.
