gives justice to its namesake with frequent and almost hourly flights to Mactan. Check out the flights here: #CEBTravels. From there, an airport-resort shuttle can easily be pre-arranged considering that you call and book your accommodation in advance. For a luxe, no-frills, and truly relaxing staycation, Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort is your best bet.
DM Pro Tip: Try to catch an early flight. Oslob, Badian, and basically South Cebu is about 3-4 hours away from the capital.
Here’s a sample itinerary for early flights assuming that you’re checking in at Oslob. We have to hand it to Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort for our little slice of paradise and Happy Juanderer Travels Inc. for a smooth and convenient trip!
