    Hi Tom! It’s difficult to compare because it really depends on the pension house. However, we believe that there are a lot of things you can do at JVR Island in the Sky Resort than in a regular pension house. To be sure, please call the numbers posted above.

    I had never heard of the sky resort before. While I am in Cebu I might take a trip up there. The cottage price per night are about the same price as a cebu pension house, are they roughly the same or a little nicer? Is there enough to do there for a few days or staying for 1 night enough?
