^sis why stay in Tagbilaran? Sayang naman when you can stay in Panglao the whole time. If you were able to get the first flight to Tagbilaran pwede diretso na kayo countryside tour pagdating nyo. Then sea tour kayo on another day. Backread ka lang meron ng mga recommended tour guides na na mention dito.

[cmonilla]

Ano po maganda pasalubong and saan po pwede bumili pasalubong in Tagbilaran? Thank you

[handlewithcare]

 ^Peanut kisses. Marami dun malapit sa airport. Hindi ko lang alam kung mura yung nabili ko. Dun kasi ako sa may mini grocery bago dumating sa airport bumili.
 
Sis, try mo kay Kuya Tatsky. Look for Incredible Bohol sa fb. Yan ang page nila. Message mo na lang. Madaling kausap. Kahit 10:30pm na ko nang gabi nag-book ng tour for the next day, in-accommodate pa din ako. Ang bait pa ng tour guide/driver na na-assign sa min, si Kuya Arvin.

[mama squeak!]

Yeah okay si Arvin. Sya yung driver ko last time nung wala akong sundo.

^^backread ka lang konti sis nagpost na ako ng mga pwedeng pasalubong at kung saan okay bumili.

Just got back last Tuesday sa 4D/3N vacay namin sa Bohol. We're so lucky na napagbigyan kame ng magandang weather cause nag-uulan daw for the past few days. Medyo onti lang ang natour namin, napagod kase and nakatulog na rin ang LO ko.
Day 1: Stayed at BBF. Ok ang room, malinis and has the basic stuff. Mas mura ang mga drinks sa "bar" hehe. Sayang di lang abot wifi sa room and walang signal. We ordered honey glazed chicken and spareribs for dinner, both are good. I like the cassava lumpia na kasama. Buffet breakfast is good, though limited ang choices masarap naman. And siyempre we tried their ice cream, malungay, durian, peanut kisses and ube. I like durian the most.
Day 2: after ng tour namin sa BBF, nagcheck out na kame and sinundo kame ni Paul c/o Naldix tours. Nabalikan namin almost lahat sa countryside tour: Loboc cruise, chocolate hills, man-made forest, Python (forgot what the place was called ), Tarsier conservatory. May mass sa Baclayon Church nung dumaan kami kaya di na kame pumasok and dahil kasama namin si LO di na kame pumunta sa Hanging bridge. We started at around 10am and nakarating kame sa South Palms ng 4:30 pm. I'm not sure kung di na ko talaga sanay sa mahabang tour or may something sa pagddrive ni kuya, pero medyo nahilo ko sa biyahe Bago naman yung car and wala naman ako napansin na rough road pero parang bouncy kame sa kotse hehe. Pero friendly naman si kuya and nagbibigay ng mga info sa mga lugar.
Day 3-4: Beach relaxation at South Palms! Love this place, parang gusto bumalik agad We only had the Garden View room pero it was very spacious and I like the huuuuge bed. The staff are all friendly and accomodating. May variations din sa buffet breakfast nila aside from the usual stations like the omelet, pancakes,bread, etc.. Siguro only comment ko lang is sana may juice din. And my hubby ordered katsudon for dinner, tama lang di masyadong masarap. Medyo iba siguro kase nakahiwalay yung sauce. Pero I ordered kare-kare and i love it. Ang kulit lang ng free shuttle nila to Alona, Jeep pala hehe. Nagpunta din kame sa Alona for dinner, parang mini-Boracay nga. I still prefer Bolod Beach. and we'll definitely stay at South Palms again

Thank you sa tips and suggestions niyo. Yesterday ko lang natext si Kuya Tatsky and nakapag reply and nakapagpareserved agad ako ng tour namin. Madali kausap and hindi na ako nirequire mag downpayment to confirm my reservation. Excited na ako. Praying for good weather next week. Thank you

[mama squeak!]

Oo nga I'm also praying for good weather. I'll be back there next week too. Oh by the way, if you ladies are planning to book with Panglao Island Nature Resort (PINR) it has been renovated and re-branded as Mithi Resort and Spa. Baka di nyo na kasi mahanap under PINR.

[cmonilla]

Saan ko po kaya pwede isama sa itenerary ko ang Isola de franceso, sa countryside or sa panglao tour? We will be in Bohol this week na. Praying for good weather, since it is our first time and I have 2 kids with us.

[mama squeak!]

^sis libre lang yung boat ride sa Isola ha. Bale donation lang. Sa likod ng Saint Augustine church yung boat jetty. Pahatid na lang kayo dun siguro after your Panglao tour. Ask your tour driver kung maantay kayo while you visit the island.

[cmonilla]

^thank you po sa suggestion

[heavensent]

I'll be in Bohol tomorrow til Monday, how's the weather there right now? Also, how safe is it for solo traveler?

[mama squeak!]

^just read your post. It's been cloudy the whole day as you already know. At least it didn't rain. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow. Need good light to take pictures of our new home.

Have a good trip!

[purple_girl]

booked 1 night sa bohol bee farm and 2 nights sa south palms for this coming april. hope ma-enjoy ng daughter ko. any suggestions on tour guides? thinking of getting panglao and countryside tour + dolphin watching

[mariakristela]

My favorite place in Panglao is Amorita Resort. My husband and I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights there and we super loved our vacation. The place is super nice- we stayed at the new wing. The interiors is modern industrial. Room is very spacious and complete with everything we need- toiletries and towels. Service is exceptional! The staff gave us complimentary baked goods every night and they even greeted us with a happy anniversary note using flower petals. So sweet!

When in Pangalo, please visit Tarsier Botanika. The place is super beautiful. Food is delicious too!

Hello!

Will be visiting Bohol this October 22-24 with my hubby and 1-year-old LO. Planning to splurge a little sa hotel kasi birthday celebration ito ng baby ko. Anong recommended niyong hotels among these choices:
1. Hennan
2. Bellevue
3. Amorita
4. Bohol Beach Club
5. South Palms

Also, any recommended tour guide for the countryside tour? First time ni hubby kasi pumunta ng Bohol so request niya is bisitahin lang ang Chocolate Hills and tarsiers so looking sana ako for the affordable tour guides.

Thanks!

[purple_girl]

^okay daw ang south palms

[cinammon_swirl]

Hi sisses! We will be in Bohol on Oct 15-17 (thank you sa anniversary seat sale ng PAL). Nakarating na kami 5 years ago (March 2012) nung bf ko pa lang si hubby. Ngayon, kasama na namin ang 4 year old son namin. Favorite nya din kasi ang Bohol among others.

Questions lang po:
1. Malaki na po ba ang difference ng Bohol after ng 2013 earthquake?
2. Ok pa po ba sa DBR2? Doon kasi kami nagstay before and maganda talaga beach front, tapos nakaka sneak in pa kami sa beach front ng Bohol Beach Club since magkatabi lang naman. Mahigpit na po ba sila ngayon?

Thank you po sa sasagot!

[mindiegirl]

^^^Amorita and South Palms! Both very child friendly. 😊

[ooh-la-la]

We're excited on our Bohol trip next week! Will be there on March 21-24. Sana okay ang weather para masulit namin.
Kasama ko lang yung 11 yr old son ko. Sa Paragayo kami mag stay. ok na rin naman for a price 1,200/night yung iba kasi 1500 up ang starting.

I also booked kuya Tatsky for our countryside tour.

[purple_girl]

^how much yung rate ni kuya tatsky for countryside tour sis? i'm also looking for a tour guide na for my bohol trip with my 7 year old daughter next month. thanks!
