Visiting Dumaguete City is one of the most memorable experience I ever had because it's one of those rare times that I went out without planning! Just the mere thought of going there triggered my adrenaline to rush and without second thoughts, I and two of my friends arrived at Dumaguete equipped with only instinct and trusting luck not to forsake us on that foreign land. Just the sight of the Belltower while riding a tricycle is worth all the risks!
To go there we rode a bus from Cebu City to Liloan Port, still Cebu. After reaching the port, we rode a machine-powered boat going to Sibulan. This way of transport is time-consuming (3-4 hours approx. including the ride in the bus and boat) compared with flying on a plane but it's much cheaper. Once in Sibulan, we took a multicab ride or you can opt out for tricycles to reach Dumaguete City. Fare is cheap, we only spent less than Php500. Just prepare Php 1000 back and forth to make sure. I don't know if how much is the price now.
When we reached the City, we still looked for a place to stay and during that time, I had proven that the locals are gentle and very helpful people. The main city is small because it won't take a genius to memorize the crisscross and looks of the streets. Tricycles are all over town, you can ride one of those to go to your desired destination. Fare was Php7.
If you want to experience the relaxing and posh feel of the pool try going to Bahura Resort. We paid Php500 for the day use. It includes the entrance fee, use of the pool, food (appetizer, main course, dessert). We had the place on our own when we went there because it was raining. To go to Bahura, you can just ride a jeepney or multicab from the city fare is around Php10.
Over all going there was worth all the risk, not an expensive trip and fun, fun, fun!

You should try out the pastries of Sans Rival. Locals and tourists come here because of the delicious taste of the said pastries. We tried some of their cakes.
We can't just get enough so we came back the next morning before leaving Dumaguete.
Sans Rival is well known for their Sans Rival pastry. Try it, it's Php 25/slice.
Dumaguete is also known as a University Town because of the many universities and schools. This picture is the ampitheater of the Siliman University.
Over all going there was worth all the risk, not an expensive trip and fun, fun, fun!
