Alcoy, Cebu 2014

Last February 8-9, 2014, me and my officemates here in Cebu had some special guests from Manila. They wanted to hit the beach rather than go other places, maybe because the beaches here in Cebu are way better than others. I can proudly say that since I am a full-blown Cebuana. We decided to go South bound since it was hard for us to find a proper resort to stay over the weekend if we go North since the beaches there were affected by Yolanda last November 2013.

It was around 10am when we left South Bus Terminal. After two hours, we reached Dalaguete and decided to visit Obong Spring where we also had our lunch there. Since the rain was pouring so hard that time, we decided not to take a dip on the spring. Right after we had our lunch, we took a tricycle going to Tingko Beach, Alcoy. The fare going to Tingko Beach is twenty pesos per head. And the travel time is 20-30 minutes. We stayed at Barangay Beach House over the weekend. The overnight stay there costs 1,200 pesos per room. The room is airconditioned and has one double bed where it can accommodate four people. The room is not that fancy but it is quite clean. Since we are ten in the group, we reserved two rooms. (Barangay Beach House only has two rooms). The room has a wide balcony with wooden sofas. Our two gentlemen friends slept at the balcony so that the females and the visitors can sleep on the rooms. Basically, the price is really cheap for a group of ten. :)

During our stay there, we bummed at the beach most of the time and played on the floating cottage accross the sea. If I am not mistaken, the use of floating cottage is fifteen pesos for the whole day use.

I found a blog about Alcoy and showed some pictures of Barangay Beach House. Here it is:

The next day, we accompanied our Manila friends on their whaleshark watching activity which is in Oslob. I did not swim with them since I already tried this last year with the same group of friends. (I also blogged about it last year)
