My Bohol Beach Club Experience

The Philippines is home for 7,000+ islands which explains why a lot of local and foreign tourists can't get enough of the beautiful beaches that we have. To top the lists of the most famous beaches are Boracay in Aklan, El Nido in Palawan, and to name a few that are just a couple of hours drive away from Manila are the well-known resorts in Olongapo, Batangas and Zambales.
But one of my most favorite beach resort is located in Bohol Island. About an hour and a half plane ride from Manila to Tagbilaran and just about half an hour drive from the airport to the Bohol Beach Club located in Panglao Island. You can expect courteous staff to greet you and offer their refreshing signature iced tea. The only thing that didn't pleased me is the walk from the reception to our designated rooms or maybe just because it was high noon when we arrived in the resort that's why walking in a large piece of land is not that comfortable, but the staff knows how to make a remarkable welcome experience. Ice cold towels, portable drinking water almost in every corner, and the best of it all are their sincere smiles.
The beach itself for me is average, white and pure sand and clean and shallow water which is perfect for kiddos! They will surely love castle sand building and dipping in the ocean even meters away without drowning. Banana boat ride and glass bottom boat ride are included on their 3 days and 2 nights package if you seek more adventure you can go jet skiing and scuba diving. But for a person like me that just wanted some relaxation, watching the sunset while lying on the beach is already a great reward from stress.

The resort management takes cooking seriously. The food that they serve are diet-busters especially for seafood lovers. It actually made me feel pounds heavier during our stay. The only sad thing about this resort is unlike other beaches like Boracay and Puerto Galera you can't find any club or bar to hang out at night. That means that party people in the city will love this place for letting them sleep early. Downtown tour is also included most of the time on the package that they offer. You will get to visit the tourist spots like the famous Chocolate Hills, Man-made forest, century old beautiful churches that were rebuilt after the earthquake years ago. And of course the meet and greet with the cute Tarsiers!
So the next time that you will plan to go to the beach for a vacation whether with family, friends or special someone I will recommend to put the Bohol Beach Club on your list. They offer 3 days 2 nights package that includes roundtrip from airport to the resort, downtown tour, breakfast buffet for two days, lunch or dinner buffet for two days. Kayak or banana boat ride for 15mins.
Our family had an awesome summer dip in this beautiful and serene resort. We want to thank the staff for being accommodating especially to the two gorgeous nurses that took care of my sick daughter and nephew (sorry I forgot their names, I'm bad with remembering names). I'm looking forward on spending another summer trip in the resort.
