Places to Visit

Hello Folks! Our wedding might be the most important date on your calendars (hint!) but we would also like you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the City of Smiles! We've put together some places/events which you may wish to check out while you are in town. After all, you never know when you can next pay the City of Smiles a visit! :)

Mambukal Mountain Resort

Negros Occidental

Notes

This is a mountain resort in Murcia, Negros Occidental, around an hour to an hour and a half's drive from Bacolod City (depending on the transportation -- private vehicle or public transportation) known for the various activities one can find here. It has a camping site, several swimming pools, a sulfur dipping pool, a hike trail up to the 7th waterfall, rope courses, boating and several options for those who wish to stay the night.

We suggest people stay for the night to be able to really experience all that Mambukal has to offer. You may choose to bring your own food for the day or eat at any of the food vendors available.

Jomabo Island Beach Resort

2 hours drive from Bacolod
Old Escalante
Negros Occidental

Notes

Jomabo is a 2 hours drive from Bacolod to Barcelona Port, Old Escalante and 20 minutes motorized boat ride. You may get to Jomabo by riding the Jomabo Van and Minicoaster by land & Jomabo pumpboat by sea.

Interested parties are encouraged to book and reserve at their Bacolod City office at Cor. Rizal - Lacson Streets, Bacolod City. Here are a few faqs you may wish to know. More is found on their website.

Upon reservation, it is best if you inform them what the exact time of your departure, so they can schedule their boat. Although the boat has no daily trip, however, once there is a booking, they will see to it that they will pick you up at the port. For this reason, visitors are encouraged to book in any of their offices before their trips.

Can we ride on your bus? Do you have your daily trip?
Yes, you may ride on our bus, only if you rent it. If you're going in a group we have a 55-seater bus at P12,000 roundtrip and a 24-seater mini coaster at P6,000 -- which is available for you to rent. A 10 & 15-seater van for P3,500 and P4,000, respectively, is also available for small group outings. These are made available for those who would like to enjoy a ride without the hassles of riding on a public bus. Trips for the buses are scheduled only when they are rented.

Can we bring our own cars? Will it be safe there?
Yes, you are allowed to bring your own service vehicles. You will only be paying P60 for the parking fee, after which you can safely park your cars at Barcelona Port, Old Escalante.
