Alumbung Tropical Living

Hopefully, this will be the first of many. I have recently started a survey on hotels, resorts, inns and pension houses in Bohol with the hope of getting more personalized information from them regarding their places. First to respond is Bob of Alambung Tropical Living located in Panglao. His responses clearly exemplify the kind of hospitality they offer.

The place is named after their Lumbungs, traditional native Balinese rice barns which they have constructed with Filipino touch. The place is located in Danao, Panglao Bohol, and within five-minute walk to the sea and a two-minute ride to the famous Alona Beach. For inquiries, visit their website at www.alumbungbohol.com or email info@alumbungbohol.com.

What's your place like? We have 2 villas and 1 cottage only, a small private place perfect for relaxing in a beautiful tropical garden.

What are the accommodation options and how affordable are the rates? Villa rate for 2 persons is 1700 Php starting February 1st, 1500 Php until then. For extra person, the rate is 300 PHP for maximum of 5 in a villa. Cottage rate for 2 persons is 1200 PHP starting February 1st, 1000 PHP until then.

What kind of activities can we do there? We are more on accommodation only, although we also arrange tours and island hopping, and have bikes for rent and can arrange motorbike rental.

What are your amenities? Our villas are fully furnished with kitchen, you can barbecue as well. We are more on relaxation.

What sets your place apart from the others? Comments from our guests: private, clean, tastefully arranged and decorated, quiet, romantic, away from the hustle and bustle.

How do we get in touch with you and book? Through our website at www.alumbungbohol.com.

Who is your manager/caretaker there? Me, Bob, the owner.

Why do you think should tourists visit Bohol? Everything is here: beaches, history, coutryside, flaura... and then, if guests need to go to a city, there is also Tagbilaran.

White sands of Candabong, Anda, Bohol

No doubt it was the highlight of our vacation in Bohol. Last December 30, we trooped from the mountains of Sudlon, Alicia, Bohol, where my wife hails, to the enchanting white sands of Candabong, Anda, a nearby town, for a cool Rizal Day splash. The beach was public. We paid absolutely nothing to get in. The sand was creamy white and not artificial, unlike those in other private resorts in the province. At the farthest end of the semi-oval stretch of white sand is a small rock/island shaped like a soldier's helmet. Along the shore were lines of boats and huts lying idly, as if time has stopped in that corner of the world. When we arrived (at around 9am) there was nobody there. We had the whole place to ourselves. When my 5-year old son saw the place, he smiled all the way up to his ears. Then he plunged and spent the whole day on the water. A few other groups arrived later, but there was still plenty of space run around. In fact, there was plenty of space to do our barbecue and some...

A pilgrimage to the Baclayon Church

Sometimes, when we are too close to something, we fail to see its beauty. This is probably the reason why there are still many Boholanos, especially those living at the coastal areas, who have yet to visit the viewing deck of the Chocolate Hills in Carmen, Bohol, or even the new one in Sagbayan, Bohol. Because we know it is just nearby, we sort of miss out on how extraordinary the thing is. It is exactly the same with the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon, Bohol, the second oldest stone Church in the Philippines. I don't think many really appreciate its place in the history of our country. Baclayon is a municipality which is 6 kilometers east of Tagbilaran City. It is Bohol's oldest municipality and the mother of 3 other municipalities, namely, Alburquerqe, Balilihan and Sikatuna. In Cebuano, "baclayon" means the distance that one needs to walk. This is probably the reason why the town was so named as it is located at the coast of Bohol sever...

List of Bohol Town Fiestas

They say that the island of Bohol sinks about an inch in May due to the thousands of Bol-anons who come home to attend the many town and barrio fiestas celebrated during the month. You can almost feel this once you disembark from those overloaded ships docking at the Tagbilaran Port in May. Fiestas in Bohol are occasions of great joy and merry-making, as well as lots of free food. Almost every household in town or in the barrio is on a welcome mode and, yes, you can literally go to any house, even if you do not know the owner, and eat your heart out. Experience this to believe. The following is a list of Bohol town fiestas in chronological order and with their corresponding patron saints. January 16 - Cortes - Santo Niño January 16 - Pres. Garcia - Holy Child January 16 - Valencia Sr. - Santo Niño January 17 - Carmen Saint - Anthony de Abbot January 29 - Ubay - Holy Child Last Saturday of January - Getafe - Holy Infant February 11 - Dagohoy - Our Lady of Lourdes April 27 - Corella - N...
