Review: Red Planet Cagayan de Oro

February 19, 2017 by Josiah Leave a Comment

We were looking for a staycation in Cagayan de Oro City since we wanted to be somewhere away from the usual routine but do not want to go far away from Iligan City. When we checked Agoda, Red Planet Cagayan de Oro turned out to be an affordable accommodation that was just walking distance from malls. Very convenient for a staycation and we decided to book our stay there.

Below is my review of Red Planet Cagayan de Oro.

Circa 1850 Restaurant in Red Planet, Cagayan de Oro City

February 5, 2017 by Josiah 2 Comments

It was a slow morning of January 2017 when we stayed at Red Planet in Cagayan de Oro City. Since we wanted to take the day slow we decided to have our breakfast at Circa 1850 because it located at the first floor entrance of Red Planet. And that breakfast was followed by dinner and breakfast the next day.

Before going down we decided to bring our laptops so that after breakfast we would proceed to work in the hopes of having good ambience and fast WiFi. I am happy to say that Circa 1850 Eatery has its own WiFi and it was really fast.

Let us move on to what really matters about Circa 1850.

Ambience

In terms of ambience Circa 1850 was really classy. Wooden tables and chairs with bricks on the walls. I loved it! I am a fan of wood and bricks.

Also the distance of each chair was really roomy which gave a really good feeling since you would not be wary of hitting the other table. Or when you stand you don’t have to worry too much that you would interrupt other tables when heading to the comfort room.

Where to Stay in Iligan City, Philippines

May 12, 2015 by Josiah 9 Comments

Since we were finished visiting Dalipuga Falls at around 12:20 PM, we decided to visit some accommodations in Iligan City just to document the rooms, prices and other details.

I admit I have not stayed in any of these accommodations as having friends in Iligan City has its perks.

The accommodations listed below do not allow advance reservation. If you want to book in advance you may check Iligan City’s Agoda Listing here.

Here are four accommodations in Iligan City that we visited on that day. These are arranged in the order of our visit to each accommodation. Also, there are many other accommodation in Iligan City, these are just the accommodations we had time to visit.

  • Famous Pension House
  • Jasmine Pension Home
  • D’Morvie Suites
  • Alya Vista Lodge

Please note that details such as prices, locations might change without prior notice. Also note that our visit to the accommodations happened last November 25, 2014.

Famous Pension House

Since we were coming from Dalipuga Falls, Famous Pension House was the first on our list of accommodations to visit as this is the farthest from the city proper of Iligan City. But this one is the nearest from the bus station bound for Cagayan de Oro.

Famous Pension House

It’s relatively cheap as the most affordable rooms are around 300 Pesos/room/night good for 2 persons. The con only of this accommodation is that you cannot reserve ahead of time. They only allow walk-in guests.

They are located behind the Adventist Medical Center in Iligan City. Just across the street of Milestone Drive. They also have other branches in Iligan City. You can check-out their vicinity in Google Map here.

1. Where is Iligan City?

Iligan City is not really that famous when it comes to tourism here in the Philippines. I bet most of you would not even know where Iligan City is.

Iligan City is located in the Philippines… In Mindanao to be a little specific… Northern Mindanao to be specific.

Iligan City is located in the Province of Lanao del Norte. But don’t get the wrong idea, it’s only geographically located inside Lanao del Norte but its administration is independent from that of the Province of Lanao del Norte.

Cheding's Peanuts in Iligan City, Philippines

One of the reasons why I always avail of check-in luggage when I go to Iligan City is the Cheding’s Toasted Peanuts, or just Cheding’s Peanut. Cheding’s Peanut is widely known in Iligan as the tasty peanut that came from Iligan. It’s really good that when my uncle who works abroad knew that I was documenting Iligan City he told me that I should buy him 2 kilos of the peanuts. When I went home I had 4 kilos of Cheding’s Peanut in 1/4 kilo packages (52.50 Pesos/piece). Then the half-kilo of peanuts we placed during the my Lolo’s birthday party was quickly consumed.

When I was still in College I went to Iligan and gave my classmates Cheding’s Peanut and all those who gave feedback said that it tasted good.
