Family trip heading to Dipolog City via Cebu Pacific - thanks to P1 fare :) with me was Papa, Mama, husband and my 3 year old son (whose having a fever during this time - so worried)...the round trip caused us less than 6,000Php good for five.
Day 1 Davao International Airport to Dipolog Airport
Flight schedule was around 3pm but delayed...anyway we arrived past 5pm at Dipolog Airport then headed directly to Dapitan City Resort Hotel - as recommended to us by one of my colleagues. We enjoyed our 70% discount which caused us 1,200Php per night. We had a huge room, 2 queen size bed plus one cute living room, hot and cold bath water, with tub, with wifi and cable TV, outside our room was the hotel's swimming pool... it took us almost an hour ride from the airport via tricycle for 400Php. I recommend you take EVERGOOD BUS for it will cause you 25Php each.
Rainy friday afternoon in the city so we decided to just stay in the hotel. 7pm we went to Dapitan boulevard walking distance from the hotel for sightseeing and dinner. All seafoods were served... *burp*. Directly went back to the hotel since the rain began to pour again. Rest time and movie trip in the hotel...ZZzzzz
