Everywhere via taxi in the Philippines is expensive. Take it from me. I was born and lived there there until a month ago... The currency exchange rate is favorable, though.

I've sent them an email asking about availability and transport. Reading a few other sites, there are buses that ply to San Juan and then you can take a jeepney (or, for us, a cab I hope!) to the resort. Personally I'd rather hire a car but MrMin is dead-set against that idea. Any views on car hire in Phils?
Boracay is nice and better. Try and check davao the pearl farm too is nice and warm.

It depends on what you're after. If it's the night life at the beach, then by all means, go to Boracay. If it's tranquility, I'd recommend pagudpud. Scuba diving and snorkling, it is best to go to Anilao, Batangas. PM me if you need more info. Several Filipino friends have gone everywhere in the Philippines, they can help in finding a good travel bargain.
Thanks everyone. With cathays tickets it turned out we could include a philipines airline one-way to Cebu and direct (well timed) return to HK for the same price as the return to manila, so I've booked that and booked a room at the plantation bay resort and spa .... Let's see how that turns out!
Acuatico were full unfortunately and with the transfer it would actually involve more transit than a flight!
