Prepare for battle! Summer is coming in Cebu Philippines. :p

I’ll just share my travel guide, opinion and expectation about my experience and to give you all warnings before going there :p

Disclaimer: it all depends on your preferences :p you’re old enough for your own decision bleeeh haha :’D

First, contact littlte santorini mountain resort a.k.a. LSMR for reservation for overnight stay.

This is our room(camping tent) and this is for 1,500php. Including soap, 2 towels, 2 pillows, 1 bed, 2 toothbrush&paste, bfast for 2 and overnight stay(2pm to 11am) and swimming. Since it is summer, expect that it is hot inside in the camping tent ;p and you have to use the public CR. The bed is good for 1.5 person, I guess 😆

2nd, prepare your gears:

  • Foods for your lunch, snack and dinner(no corkage for foods, only for drinks). We baon liempo, boiled egg, lumpia togue/tawgi, mixed chichiryas, hopia, water.

The chicken wings(160php), baked scallops(170php), rice(20php) and coke(100php) were bought from the resort.

These are our snacks. :p

And these were the included breakfast, they also have free brewed coffee

Additional info:

The last day of our stay was also the celebration of my nephew’s and niece’s birthday. Just want you to know guys that they were 21 number of adults and 9 kids, but the catch here is that the lsmr will only consider the payment for swimming pool entrance, the water they brought were left at the receptions since it is not allowed.

  • Prepare your toiletries:
  1. Tissue (dry&wet)
  2. sarong/lightweight towel
  3. Umbrella for walking under the heat of the sun.
  • Prepare your vehicle: Check your vehicle parts, brakes, gasoline, bring portable air compressor, flat tire kit.
  • here’s the direction link from north bus terminal mandaue city
Cebu North bus to Little Santorini (click this link)
  • NOTE: They don’t have parking lot in here, the vehicle will be parked outside the santorini(side of the road)
  • Prepare cash: NOTE: They don’t accept Debit/Credit card but sometimes they accept bank transfer/GCash if there’s an available Internet signal.
  • Prepare yourself for unnecessary, uncomfortable paper water bracelet hahaha since you’ll be wearing it til you’re done with your stay.
  • Prepare robust slippers since you’ll be walking to a slope path, yes! slippers — like habagat, sandugo, don’t use havaianas, penshoppe, bench like
  • Bring portable fan for camping tent
  • Bring powerbank since the outlet for free charging is in the canteen.
  • Bring your waterproof cameras
This is their big size pool (their olympic pool size) with 4ft to 6ft deep

NOTE: we know that it’s a new place to stay together with your friends/colleagues/love ones but for me, the price is not that worth it (it’s up to you) if you compare it with mountain view resort at lahug cebu:

1.) The entrance fee in LSMR is php250 for adults while in Busay Mountain view is only php50 entrance fee + php100 pool e.f.

2.) The view is not that pleasing aside trees, mountain and pool, unlike the Mountain view resort where you can see the city/city lights, trees, mountain, pools.

3.) I’m expecting to see the whole view of santorini alike but no where to found, maybe if you have a drone and then take pictures from up there.

Yeah! I guess that’s it, there’s not much there, hope you enjoy your stay there.

Hope this helps you 😃
