Beach

I am planning for a road trip to Daytona Beach from KY. Its going to be me & two others in my family (no kids). My wife is very concerned about safety issues & our other relative is new to the country. We have never been to Daytona Beach & thought to go there. Does anyone know a decent family hotel/resort that would be within our budget of about $60-80 per night. Also if anyone can give me details of the local attractions, it will be splendid. Thanks.

yes

What are the accommodation rates? We don’t like inland resorts. If there’s none, what’s the nearest beach resort in Mariveles? Thanks!

Mariveles country club in brgy san ildefonso

I am planning a vacation for late June. I definitely want something All-Inclusive and Gay/Lesbian friendly. I was considering Mexico…but am open to really anything that is fairly inexpensive and in the sun!!! Any suggestions?

Yes!!

I can recommend www.lareinarojahotel.com is in Playa del Carmen. But you can call USA Toll Free:
1-877-319-2863 for more information..

Me & my friend are trying to figure out the best place to go to for a much needed vacation. We were trying to find something somewhat inexpensive initially checking for a trip from CA to Cancun but aren’t having much luck as there are so many possibilities to choose from! We know we want to go to a beach location & definitely all inclusive!

ANY HELP/SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I have a way that you may be able to ask your own concierge service about all of that, if you join our resort condo club. Access 5,400 3 to 5 star resorts and some of them cost as low as $149.00 for the entire week on short term bookings. The one time membership cost is also very affordable and has no additional fees for life.Oh, and you can share the benefits with your family and friends.
Email me if you would like the link to look it over.

my family (group of 20pax) is planning to o to the beach? any suggestions? cheap and near…

You’re not too far from Clearwater – lovely beach and nice busy resort.

Looking for SPECIFIC NAMES of hotels or resorts that have bars in the pools or bars on their own private beach resort, where waiters/waitresses bring you your drinks on the beach. Thanks!!

Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort in Clearwater, Florida…But there are many many resorts that have beach front and/or pool bars that serve drinks. This is not rare…

Hey! I was wondering if there are any beach resorts that you would recommend in Florida (but not to far away from Disney) or any florida areas you love. Is there a shuttle bus, train or any other means of transportation to Disney from non-disney resorts? thanks!

feel free to leave links to your questions- i’ll answer them!

The closest beach to Disney World is about an hour away (Cocoa Beach). Transportation would be very expensive between there and Disney World. If you are only wanting to visit Disney World for one day then you would do best to just rent a car for the day. However, if you are planning on visiting Disney World and/or other Orlando theme parks for several days during your vacation, then you should really stay in the Orlando area (if Disney World is your primary focus then staying in a Disney World resort is very beneficial, particularly if you are looking to go without renting a car). You can always stay in Orlando for a few days and then drive to a beach resort and stay for a few days.

Any suggestion on where we can go this summer???
My friends and I wanted to take a break from our school.
Budget: 2k per head = 5-6 persons = 10k to 12k total
3 days 2 nights if possible.
Beach near manila. Clear Water.
Where?
Thanks in advance!

The best beach near Manila is Laiya in San Juan, Batangas.

There are several resort options, with some on the very high end. And yet, there are cottages for the size of your group that you can rent for P2,000 overnight. That will be well within your budget.

You can refer to my answer to a previous question on how to go to Laiya:

There are nice resorts with affordable day tour fees, but I understand you want to stay in the place for 2 nights, if possible. Unless you are willing to sleep in tents, and are allowed to camp, these de luxe places are out of your list.

Alternatively, you can go to Nasugbu in Batangas. There is a row of beach resorts on the left side of the road when you enter the town. The cottages are also inexpensive.

Activities like zip lining, wall climbing , Rappelling etc..

many of the resorts at subic bay have team building activities but not the ones you mentioned, however they are available in the area. White rock resort and Camayan beach resort are great locations for large groups While Arizona would be good for smaller groups. The activities you mention are availalbe at treetop adventure and extreme adventure park which are side by side on the subic bay freeport

The previous poster mentioned Villa Terisita. At P400 per night in a dorm room, it would be the cheapest place I know with a pool. In fact it has about 5 swimming pools. The main pool has a huge double water slide. It is a very pleasant place to go for the day for a picnic. It is in Talisay City and is about 30 minutes drive from the centre of Cebu City, depending on traffic. Standard rooms start at P800 per night for a double. The website is here

Also in Talisay City is Aqua Cainta. I have no website but in 2004, it was about P600 per night for a small cottage. It is probably double that now. It has a triple water slide in the main pool and and is a pleasant place to go for the day for a picnic. You pass Aqua Cainta on the way to Villa Terisita.

Tubod Flowing waters was also mentioned. Prices start at P1200 per night for a double. It is situated in Minglanila and is up to an hour from the centre of Cebu City, depending on traffic. It is a water wonderland and a nice place to go for a picnic for the day. The main pool has a large double waterslide. The website is here

In Cebu City

Mango Park Hotel has a promo rate of P1750 per night for a double. They have a pool on the roof.

Metro Park Hotel has rooms as low as P1200 per night for a double. However, the website says the pool is under renovation until the end of March

If you want to get a good deal on resorts on Mactan island. try Asiatravel.com
http://asiatravel.com/cebu.html
I see that Tambuli is only usd $50 per night. It is a nice resort on Mactan Island and will probably be the best value for money resort available.
