Christmas\/ hanuka and Easter\/passover vacations are the best times to take the kids and go on an amazing vacation in the Philippines.
\nGranted, there is summer vacation, but it\u2019s actually the summer that isn\u2019t a very good season in the Philippines, and if you go there during summer vacation there\u2019s the chance you\u2019ll get some rains and storms. Nothing terrible, but it\u2019s something to consider.
\nWhat else, I heard from many families recently that they are looking for an interesting and different destination, something to refresh the annual vacation in Europe.
\nAnd hence the Philippines are the perfect destination \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

First of all- check out our best tips for family travel in the Philippines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now- Here are four places that are simply wonderful for a vacation in the Philippines with kids:<\/h5>\n

1<\/strong>. This hotel<\/a>\u00a0in Mactan, on the island Cebu. An awesome start to a vacation. It\u2019s not cheap, at around 200$ a night, but it\u2019s well worth it. Everything you need in a vacation without moving too much\u00a0:-). A huge swimming pool, complete with slides and bridges, SUP (stand up pedal surfing) and sea Kayaking, and if you ever leave the swimming pool you\u2019ll find a climbing wall and a kid\u2019s playroom, a private beach, free bicycles to move freely inside the hotel grounds and more\u2026<\/p>\n

There are many things to do in Cebu, here are few of the lesser known attractions for families.<\/a><\/p>\n

2<\/strong>. After few days in this hotel, book a (very) short flight to an amazing island called Camiguin. It\u2019s a tiny island with a few interesting attractions. It has beautiful black-sand beaches. And hot springs, and giant Clams that are definitely worth a visit. You can go snorkel-diving around the island, or even tour around it on a bicycle on the friendly island surrounding road.<\/a>
\nYou should quietly spend a few days on that island. Enjoy the hot springs, the massages, and sleeping in your favorite guest-house right next to them. That way you could go on a tight romantic dip after the kids went to bed\u2026\u2764
\nStaying there is very cheap. Staying in a family room in the guest-house will cost no more than 50$ a night. And it includes free entrance to the hot springs 24\/7<\/p>\n

3<\/strong>. From there continue to the marvellous island Bohol. Recommended hotels you can find here<\/a>\u00a0. OR – you can stay at a private beach house<\/a>.\u00a0In Bohol you can enjoy all sorts of attractions<\/a> like the Chocolate hills, the Extreme park, sailing on the Loboc river, and most importantly- Dolphin watching. Don\u2019t miss \u00a0it! It\u2019s an amazing experience.
\nEstimated costs per day will be around 150$-180$, including accommodation, meals, and attractions.
\nBy the way, in Bohol\u2019s biggest city, Tagbilaran, there are a few nice malls that have cinemas (with 3D) restaurants and shops. One of my children\u2019s biggest enjoyments was the arcade in ICM (island city mall), that they always left with some nice prizes.
\nTo divers, that\u2019s also the place from which you can go on breathtaking dives in the area. In Bohol there are also several interesting underwater reserves. I\u2019ll never forget the sea Turtles we saw while snorkeling around Bohol. It was one of the most exciting experiences of my life.
\nIf you don\u2019t dive and want to take a course, in Bohol you can find a few good options for that.
\nThere are also sea-Kayaking tours that you simply must check out.
\nTo more adventurous families I warmly suggest going on an independent tour around the island. Bohol allows for a fascinating view into the life of the locals, with the tiny fishing villages, fragrant markets, jungles, and virgin beaches. Tourist free gems are hidden around every corner <\/a>if you only go in deep enough.<\/p>\n

Bohol also offers few Adrenalin-rush activities. check them out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong>. From Bohol you can move on to the enchanted island Siquijor, with its white beaches, snorkelling, night sailing and watching thousands of fireflies, kayaking, and quiet. The hotels here are good and don\u2019t cost much, only about 60$a day all expenses included. I wrote about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

-From there the move is pretty simple back to south Cebu, where the bravest can swim with Whale Sharks. The experience is not cheap (I haven\u2019t done it, my youngest wouldn\u2019t let her mom swim freely like that with sharks. I am waiting for her to grow up\u2026), and costs about 150$ per person.<\/p>\n
