Panglao, Bohol in the Philippines

The Internet connection right now is just plain crazy and since I am pressed for time, I would have to post just some of the interesting photos I took in Bohol. I'll edit later.

BOHOL PROVINCE. I stayed at Panglao, the South-West part of the province.

BPI at Panglao. I was surprised because at this far and remote area was this bank.

BOHOL DIVERS RESORT

In search for the cheapest and most practical place to stay, I found myself here at Bohol Divers. It's the last resort on this side of Alona Beach which is strategically located in a peaceful environment. I only paid 500/night for a single room-fan. Well, I didn't really have to stay in an aircon. I am out most of the time.

Bohol Divers at night. The resort is spacious enough for other recreational activities like swimming, table tennis, bar, etc.

At day. You can see the wooden tables and chairs adjacent to the bar.

Cafe early in the morning. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wooden furniture. They're nice when dry but awful on rainy days.

Nipa hut rooms with aircons

Luxurious rooms for the well to do visitors

Swimming pool opens/closes at 9am - 9pm

Beautiful coconut trees lining the pool

Maintained and cleaned regularly

NEARBY HOTELS

From BOHOL DIVERS one can easily reach nearby hotels which offer competitive rates. However, what I liked most about these hotels is that they are open for everyone to try their cafes and restaurants and boy, you won't ever run out of options. It's a little pricey though. But of course you can always opt to go outside the hotel and find something cheaper.

Right most part of the beach, just beside BOHOL DIVERS.

Didn't really get the name of this hotel, but they have nice interior

WHITE BEACH. One of the posh hotels in this area.

Normal looking hotel with an upside down sign. It's a drinking pub at night.

Chairs such as these in the picture abound at the beach, but not really ideal for sun bathing

Nipa chairs and huts. These are Filipino inspired exteriors.

ISIS THAI. I passed by here at night, but not many people visit here.

OASIS CAFE. Last night for a cup of coffee in Panglao.

AROUND PANGLAO

If you are in Panglao, it is highly recommended that you rent a motorcycle and go around the city. If you have a driver's license (which I don't), you can even go beyond Panglao and visit Tagbilaran and tour the place in your time. This is something which I did and I would say worth every cent.
