MRPinnoy Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Bohol is my sanctuary. I go there at least once a year. The last was right after christmas. Accesible. Not as commercialized as boracay. The people are very friendly. Food is dirt cheap. The best way to go around the island is to rent those 50cc motorbikes (ala honda dream) at P100 per day in Tagbilaran city and just fill up the tank. You will be amazed at the places you can go, the sights you can see, even without a guide. Ask any boholano directions, they may point with their lips, but they will point you to the right direction. You can get as far as carmen (chocolate hills) in as little as 2 hours. Masaya lalo na grupo. Make your base panglao or tagbilaran. Then go on from there. Must visit: 1. Tanglad Iced Tea and Organic Buffet at Bohol Bee Farm (Panglao)2. swim with the dolphins and if your really lucky with whale sharks of Pamilican Island (Baclayon)3. Tarsier Farm (Corella)4. Mag-aso Falls (Antequera)5. Awp-awp Grille (Maribojoc)6. Sweet tuba from any sari sari store in Calape7. Camp Magsaysay (Bilar)8. Fresh kuja (oysters) in Kainggit Beach (Tagbilaran) Internet access is available. Cell sites in most towns. Beer is cold in most places. For those who are into alternate reality activities, this too can be sourced out locally. Maraming salamat for the tips Quote Link to comment
dj_flip03 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 no offense bro pero i just have some comments, nde ko lang mapigilan... went there 2 weeks ago. spent 4 days and 3 nights sa alona beach. PANALO stay namin. :thumbsupsmiley: 1. 3.8K a night is way to much, sobrang daming mga resorts dun na pwede mong puntahan... maglakad-lakad ka lang. nakakuha nga kami ng room 1K lang, hot and cold shower, may pool din tas may room service pa. Aircon pala cya, me mga fan rooms din kc. 2. with the food naman, may mga set meals dun (filipino, american, german etc...) ok naman cya, sossy nga kc me mga kasama pang isang slice ng fruit considering turo-turo lang yung iba naming kinainan, nasanay na siguro sa mga foreigners. 3. i enjoyed swimming sa beach, ganda kc ng sand eh. chaka sarap magpa tan. sobrang accomodating lang kc ng mga locals, my rating is 8/10. Bro, sang resort/hotel yung 1k/night? Good for 2 pax na ba yun? Quote Link to comment
dj_flip03 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Got back from a great vacation in Panglao Is., Bohol. Stayed in Lost Horizon resort in Alona beach for 1 night. Ok yung place (costs 2,300!!!), pero may TV, ref, nice T&B, balcony. Then we transfered to Dumaloan(?) resort in Dumaloan(?) beach for another night. Mas ok yung shoreline sa Dumaloan beach(parang station 1 ng Bora) compared to Alona(parang galera) pero sa Alona mas maraming places like bars and restos. I fell in love with the place. Although there are two things I didn't like at Dumaloan and Alona Beach ---- Food and drinks are very expensive!!! Beer costs P50, and food will cost about P200++ per person per meal; At sobrang dami ng lamok!!!!! The tour was ok too, kaya lang the food at the Loboc River cruise(?) kinda sucked, though buffet sya, sana mas madaming option. Quote Link to comment

calistoga Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have read and will consider the places and resorts mentioned in this forum. Thank you very much! But I still need information and feed back from those who have gone to Alona Palm Beach and Flushing Meadows Resort in Panglao. Would you recommend these over Bohol Beach Club and Panglao Island Beach and Nature Resort? I checked their websites but a first hand experience would be most helpful. The price points are also no sure gauge of what the resort can offer. Will be waiting for your tips/suggestions? Quote Link to comment

We stayed at Dimaluan Beach Resort. If you want access to a lot of bars (na di naman napupuno) plus a lot of resorts minus the nice shoreline, then go to Alona Beach Here's a sample pic(s) of Alona and Dimaluan beach repectively (mukhang medyo malabo yung sa alona): HUGE PIC DELETED. PIC ATTACHMENT SIZE SHOULD BE LIMITED TO 640 X 480 PIXELS ONLY. Edited February 1, 2007 by Wyld Quote Link to comment
