⌛ Dumaguete Hotels

The South Seas is a very appealing looking place. Very quiet area but it's definately off the beaten path and not an easy walk into town. I couldn't stay there myself for very unusual reasons; the road is so horrible leading into the place that I had extreme back pains taking a pedi cab there for their Friday buffet. I don't think US Warthogs with cluster bombs could have done any worse to that road. Too bad. They have such wonderful staff there. I took some of the girls out to the Hayahay for my birthday last March. Charming angels.

 

Does anybody know if there's any car rental in Dumaguete city? If so, how much do they charge per day?

 

Canuck,that road connecting to the South sea resort from the main road had been like that for ages,dunno why the city hasn't bothered to mend it ,so bad seems like that of ' surface of the moon' with little craters.Passed by that strip 12 yrs ago and of last the last time we're there ,not much has change,still off the beaten path.

ritz, andy of Devlin's (member here) has some cars for rent , or the SCUDS of dgte.

Salamat.

Hey Jim,

It's in Bantayan so not walking distance but handy enough if you're on a bike. They might give a special rate if you ask them.

 

Thanks progmeister, trikes might go down there eh, have a bumpy ride :D

 

No worries jim, last time I went there was in 2002 or 2003, the road was pot-holey to say the least so it will be a bumpy ride if they still haven't managed to mend it.

 

It's not really that far from Dgte city center ,say for instance from corner perdices -silliman avenue ,its about 10 minutes with a slow tricycle/car to south seas ,can be longer when roads so congested . Silliman beach is even further down in distance than going to SS by tricycle.But distance by foot from the Silliman beach is only a tad close to South sea beach (this by the coastline ).I don't really know if they do discount for longer stay,i suppose there should be some options,best is give them a ring .

Here's a site giving cheaper options to call from UK to Philippines,lot of choices.
International Calls: Cheapest way to call every country...

Utilities & Phones: International Call Checker

if calling to mobile to ph Utilities & Phones: International Call Checker
i call there for hours sometimes even few times a week,also to the US just .5p/min (can talk all day) a lot cheaper than normal rip off rate. often use the topUPdiscount 6p/min and good so far,but as said lot of choices.

I'm putting this for anybody base in uk looking for alternative options for cheaper calls to Ph.

No commissions OK, only to help.:D
