Any suggestions on where i can spend my vacation this summer?

this will depend on your present location. fares usually consume most of the budget. if you are in manila, the nearest beaches would be somewhere in north and south of luzon. for the northern part, they have beaches in subic, olongapo; most parts of pangasinan, la union and ilocos. for southern luzon, batangas offers a wide range of beaches. there are also those in mindoro, calapan & puerto galera. since summer is the peak season for beaches, it is quite expensive in most places. you have to really scout for the lowest possible rate. if your not choosy, i know that you'll find good accomodation without really sacrificing the quality of your stay. enjoy.

Well, since you've mentioned Philippines.. Why don't you try Boracay? I know it's a bit crowded there since it's summer time or you could try to go to Palawan.. I can suggest some beaches here in Cebu, like Shangrila, Plantation Bay, Pulchra Resort, or you could also go to Panglao in Bohol.. I'm not quite familiar with the beaches down south but what I've mentioned are really great resort where you could really have fun.. I've seen also in a news that in Manila, there's a new sort of like an amusement park but it's full of pools.. :)

Try going to Antulang Beach in Negros, Panglao Island in Bohol, Dakak, CAmiguin and Siquijor. Nice white sand beaches...

Well I am not from the Philippines, but you may want to consider Thailand or Taiwan because many of my friends said those were beautiful places to travel. They are relatively close to your country, but just far enough to make it for an exciting vacation. As for cities within the Philippines I am not sure because I have never been to your country. However, you seem to be getting lots of good suggestions. I would recommend going to Thailand or Taiwan. Have a nice day. Pablo

you know what, is best if you know a travel agent, they can really give you a lot of choices and give you budget wise travel packages...we have boracay, bohol, palawax, camiguin if you like beaches..even luzon have nice beaches they said, like in batangas..or go to tagaytag and baguio for a diff nature tripping..

Ok, why don't you try to visit Bohol, this place is fascinating,the best and most affordable spot in the Philippines ...the people are very accomodating and friendly too. I am from South Luzon, but I will recommend this place for you, you can chose Bohol Tropics, Bohol Beach Club or you can go to Panglao island, you can visit any travel agencies for tour packages. I usually go there whenever I want to relax myself and of course family bonding...

last year, we went to Boracay, and it's really not expensive if you know how to budget your money well. there are pretty nice cottages that don't cost a lot.

Actully I am an Indian so if you can come in India then I want to prefer Goa city in India Goa is a very beautiful city in India.

I will recommend beaches in boracay. You can get a package that is reasonable and matches your type of experience that you may want to get from your summer vacation.

There's a lot of that here, but it's still expensive because the location is Mindanao.

You could go to Sumilon island in Cebu. It is not expensive to go there compared to some resorts. It is also more peaceful and much less crowded there.

Hey my friend I would suggest to come and visit our beautiful island of Bohol.Our place has a lot to offer.I will guarantee that you'll not regrets spending your vacation in our place.We have lots of beautiful white beaches which are very affordable that's why Bohol is one of the top tourist destination in the Philippines.

hello, i know a great place that is less expensive to go through just far north from manila the capital city of the philippines, i do wanna share because my relatives and i went there last february and it is so nice and fun...a long white beaches and palm trees on the shore.. its called Pagudpud Beach way to the tip of the Philippines, they have romantic ambience and also very relaxing, and nice restaurant to, any type of foods to fruits...but the thing in here is that theree is no much night life, just purely relaxing and sunbathing and eating which is COOL. thats from Manila it will take 10 hours to go there taking any bus going to Laoag then Laoag to Pagudpud beach..but if you know someone(relatives of yours) to get in touch i will suggest you take a private car.Laoag is a very beatiful place also with its delicacies and others, then Vigan would be pass by if you go to Laoag which is a world heritage place a spanish architure would be seen here and nice.. Thats Manila - La Union where i lived (6 hours) then 3 hours going to Vigan(if you visit) -then Laoag which is (3 hours ) then Pagudpud that would be 2 hours) then theres nice accommodations also there. Now if you want night life with white beaches,go to Boracay its really nice buti think thats depend on your budget though....BUT REALLY NICE! taking a plane to go there. There is a falls way to the north its called Pagsanjan Falls (pangasinan)thats around 5 hours ride from Manila. If you want a hots spring also there is one in Pangasinan. And in Baguio thats 5 hours from manila (SUMMER CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES)its called ASIN hotspring. Now if you interested to know more just email me and i can give you some advises and nice pictures to look through. I can be your tour guide for FREE if you want it. email address: floresca091985@yahoo.com

hi! You can visit Malapascua Island in Cebu. It's not expensive. There are cheap cottages there and of course you can go to expensive resorts too there. It's really your choice and how much money you got.
