Location

Do you prefer spending your money on fun & discoveries instead of paying big for the
roof over your head ?

If yes, maybe this will be right for you .

The Talamban board & lodging are located north in Cebu city, around 15 min. northbound drive from central Cebu city. We also have location at Mactan island ( to the
right of Cebu on the map), all far away from conditions like overcrowded Manila.

We have green surroundings with typical genuine Cebuano homes spread around us.
You are in reasonable distance to whatever you like here. No need to get ripped off for
sleeping on the beach.

The beaches are many and great. All a short ride from here.
So is the very beautiful countryside.

Transportation is easy and cheap. Local ”jeepneeys” are not found anywhere else. 20- minute- ride to the city may cost about 8 pesos. Taxis are in constant rotation. Some
120 pesos for the same. We provide free rides when possible and organize tours now
and then for very low prices.
If you wish we pick you up (and deliver) you at the airport. Free!


Historical sites may catch your attention. Explorer Magellan went down in a rain of arrows in 1521 on Mactan island.
Cross the bridge and you are there.

The long Spanish influence is clear to see: in architechture and also in the Philippinos themselves. More than 100 of the latest years
of American influence have led to a people that are basically very good in the English language. Clearly, you also feel the social – cultural influences from the West
.
Mountains and more than 7000 island are there for you. Discover paradise.
It is not only Philippine girls who have a reputation for their beauty, nature is a blessing, too. Oceanlife contains thousands of islands and scuba-diving resorts are all over. (check links) One said, ”The Cebuanos are the nicestPhilippinos I ever met.”
I understand why now...

So, you understand, this is a neat way to experience this fantastic island country
. Blend in with the locals .
