🛏️JCPM Apartment Suite

In Buyabod, Santa Cruz, JCPM Apartment Suite (3rd Floor) is one of the more practical mid-range options for travelers planning a Maniwaya island-hopping trip — a 1-bedroom apartment with a private check-in/check-out, a terrace, and a proper kitchen that lets you self-cater your stay. The Buyabod address is the differentiator: you're walking distance from the Port of Buyabod, which is the launch point for boats to Maniwaya.

The Apartment

- 1 bedroom, terrace - Flat-screen TV - Kitchen with oven and microwave — full self-cater capability - Free Wi-Fi - Free private parking - Private check-in / check-out — no front-desk hours to coordinate

That self-cater setup is genuinely useful. Buyabod is the embarkation point for Maniwaya boats, which means you can pick up groceries before crossing and stock the apartment for early-morning departures or late-evening returns.

Pricing and Booking

- Approximate rate: USD 39 per night - Phone: +63 917 892 5752 - Email: islasmoriones.cmhi@gmail.com

The same contact handles Islas Moriones Beach Resort on Maniwaya — JCPM and Islas Moriones share management. Travelers planning a multi-night Maniwaya itinerary can coordinate both stays through one team: a JCPM night before the boat, a Maniwaya night on the island, and a JCPM night again on return.

Where It Sits

JCPM's Buyabod location places it at:

- Port of Buyabod — minutes away - Santa Cruz town center — short tricycle ride for groceries, banks, ATMs - Holy Cross Parish, Santa Cruz Public Market — daytrip-distance for cultural and food stops

Why It Works

For travelers who like having their own kitchen and prefer apartment-style stays over hotel rooms, JCPM is one of the few options on the Santa Cruz mainland that fits that brief. The Buyabod port-adjacent location turns it from a generic apartment rental into a genuinely useful base for any Maniwaya trip.
