Panglao Island Travel Forum

Hi all, the net gives some hints on what accommodation etc is available, but not much info on which places are child friendly, Family is 2 adults and 4 children 8,6,4 and 2yrs. Looking for budget package for family planing to visit July 08 stay for 3 weeks. Any suggestions? We live in Papua New Guinea so used to roughing it if need be.

I will be taking my 10-month old baby, including his nanny with me to Panglao. What resort would you recommend that's baby friendly? I understand that there may be resorts who offer separate rooms for nannys, any ideas? Although its not really necessary, I can have the nanny stay with us in the room. Just want to know if there are resorts in Panglao that offer such service. Will be leaving on the 26th of April. Thanks!

Does anyone been to amorita resort? can you help give some feedback?
regarding the room, pool and services. does the cost of the accommodation worth it? how about the alona tropical. thanks

im torn between these resorts.
bohol beach club, amorela resort, alona palm and pyramid.
bohol beach club has package from island accomodation that cost 284USD for 4D/3N with sea and land tour already. see at http://www.islandsaccommodations.com/hotels-resorts/bohol/boholbeachclub/index.htm#pack2

then on other resorts no package. but i think we can get and outsider tour guide for cheaper cost.

my question is.. where do u think we should stay nalang.. i dont see kasi pictures more sa bohol beach club lalo na the rooms they have.

please help..

I am interested in Aquatica Beach Resort, can you send me some pics regarding this aquatica beach resort especially its rooms. Is it a beach front?

Hi, i'm planning to go to bohol this summer with my family. Bohol Bee farm will sure appeal to my father as he is very interested in agriculture stuff and i also think its a nice place to stay. But i was wondering if there is a beach area where we can swim at bohol bee farm. i haven't read anything regarding the beach at the farm. Is it safe to swim there even at night? Is it also as white as the beaches from other panglao beaches? thanks!

hi,,

what mode of transporation can we use going to alona beach from tagbilaran city? there are 5 of us... are there jeepneys there that has panglao route from the city? how much? or can taxis there accomodate 5 pax and also how much is the meter rate?

i know that there are lot of beach resorts along alona beach... do they accomodate tourist who would just like to stay the whole day on their resort along the beach for picnic and swimming? do they have these cottages for us to rent and use? we are not actually going to check in their hotels or rooms cause in the afternoon were just going to leave the resort... cottages along the beach is enough for us for the whole day swimming..... anybody knows what resort offers this? how much is the entrance per person and also the cottage rate?

thanks a lot guys

Hi All!!! I find this forum very helpful. I am planning to have an island tour on my first day in Bohol and I'm looking for a cheap accommodation for 1 night in Dumaluan. I can't find one on the net. Is it ok if I just look for a place in Dumaluan after my island tour? Or should I book as early as possible? I found Citadel Alona to be the cheapest but it's in Alona. Is it too far from Dumaluan? Thanks for all your help :)

Hi,

Can anyone help me on which one is a good place to stay, I mean nice surroundings and lovely beach front, good service, clean and reasonable price wise. Not too expensive as we are going to bring my family with us, we may be a group of 6-8. These is my husband first visit to bohol, so I want it a memorable for him, to see lovely places in pinas.

Any suggestion, recommendation and ideas on the following resort or other resort you may recommend are very much appreciated.

Alona Tropical resort
Bohol Beach club
alona kew resort

Thanks alot and looking forward to your reply.

Best regards

Hello everybody

Me and my friend will be arriving in Tagbilaran pier from Cebu. Just want to ask want are our options for transportation to reach Alona Kew Resort in Panglao. We don't mind riding in a private car, van, jeepney or even a tricycle. How much should we expect to spend to reach our resort.

Thanks!

In terms of distance/convenience to Alona Beach, how bad is it to stay in Tawala?

what are the different beach in bohol? (kindly specify for me if it's public beach of private beach, thank you =) ) all i know is the alone beach.

Dumaluan beach - is this public or private beach? any feedback on this place?
Panglao island nature resort - is this public or private beach? any feedback
on this place?
Alona Beach - for February 1st-2nd week, is the beach crowded?

I'm planning to go around next February 1st or 2nd week. Is the weather okay or it's too cold for me to hang around the beach. My target is to stay in a resort that has a private beach (public beach is okay, but I hope it won't be that crowded) and a good place to relax. I don't care if the resort has no party bars.

Guys, we're staying at bohol beach club (bbc) this coming january 2008. other than the restaurant/s inside bbc, are there other restaurants in dumaluan beach? can you recomend a restaurant or some place to dine there? thanks

Thanks a lot for the replies, guys. Just read on some travel agencies' sites that there's also a tennis court at Alona Kew. Has anyone seen it there? I guess Alona Kew is closer to Alona Palm than Bohol Divers Resort?

Best regards!!!

Hello,

I found on the net that there's a tennis court at Bohol Divers Resort. Is this true? And can non-residents use it? We're planning to stay at Alona Palm, but they don't have a tennis court there. How far is Bohol Divers Resort from Alona Palm?

Thanks a lot and cheers.

Hi Everyone!

This forum is very helpful. Some of my questions were already answered just by reading the posts. I have some more though. Hope to hear from everyone as it will be my first time in Bohol this November. We're still choosing where to stay, resort in Alona or Dumaluan? Please give your feedback about these two beaches.

If we stay at Bohol Beach Club, how do we get to Alona Beach? What's the cheapest mode of transpo and how far it is from Bohol Beach Club?

Thanks in advance! :)

And last question, ok ba sa alona beach sa october?

I am working abroad and planning to go to Bohol with my family on Jan-11-14 next year when I take my vacation leave. Can anyone give me suggestions on where to stay? I've checked Bohol Beach Club and the place is great but is quite expensive so I want to know if my money would be really worth in staying there. Otherwise, can anyone suggest other places to stay? Thanks =)
