Default Coming From Cebu

Hi My wife 2 kids and myself are planning to come to Dumaguete for a few days in the next 2 weeks to check out Silliman U. I have been told that we can bring a vehicle by ferry. We would appreciate any comments or suggestions you can make concerning ferry trip, lodging, costs of these things.

I tried the search function, but did not seem to have much success

Thanks
Nate

HI Nate,

bringing your car is easy with Montenegro shipping lines.

If you want to stay somewhere very nice, I just discovered a fantastic Apartelle in Dumaguete (florentina Homes), close to Siliman, not the cheapest, but absolutely value for money and great and safe for Kids. More in the heart of the City would be Hotel Palwa and many others

cheers Rhoody

Hi Nate,
Also there is Maayo Matiao Shipping Lines from Bato (after Santander) to Tampi. See Maayo Shipping to Cebu Island. They syncronize departure times with Ceres bus Dgte-Cebu and I have found them reliable, however sometimes full. There are (limited) services for snacks, food etc. on each pier if you have to wait. Ticket around 1,500 pesos for all. On Negros side you will have less than 30 minutes to SU. Coco Grande is next to SU and is one of the city's best hotels. 2,000 pesos and up for a family. And since you are bringing a car why not try out one of the many resorts along the South Highway, after Bacong. Definitely more fun for the kids, and only 15-30 minutes each way. All star combinations, from 1,500 to 10,000 if I have been quoted right. You should find some links in DI web pages.

I just had a friend stay in Coco Grande for a few days and he liked it there. Another option for a family would be Florentina Homes perfect for a family at P2500 a night with 2 bedrooms...
