Planning one month in philippines and want to rent a house in a nice beach area; How should I do it?
I want to spend next June or July in the Philippines, hopefully diving and windsurfing as well as partying at night. I want to rent out a house, close to a nice beach. I was thinking boracay, but not too sure what else is out there. I went to Cebu City last year, and absolutely loved it. I would like to be in an area that is more metropolitan, but also has a nice beach to spend the days on. Where would be the best place to go?
I can only recommend Cebu for you since you want to be in a place MORE metropolitan.
Boracay, while gorgeous, is on an island not close to a city
San Fernando, La Union Province has gorgeous beaches, but not exactly metropolitan.
Same thing for Puerto Galera, Mindoro Province, various resorts in Palawan Province. They all go out the window with your "more metropolitan" requirement.
The rule is, with the Philippines, the closer you get to a metropolitan city, the more pollution, noise, etc and less of the idyllic place you want.
The best thing I guess for you is to look up places in Batangas Province (Nasugbu, Anilao, Mabini) to stay for your diving and windsurfing; and rent a car since Manila and the Makati/Quezon City Nightlife is a 1-2 hour drive away.
Maybe you should also look at Subic Bay. There's Casinos, Nightclubs, and other things to do. It's a 2hr drive from Manila. But the beaches and diving are just "okay".
So the challenge is balancing the "paradise" with the "more metropolitan".
