Bol-anon

Just to say, this blog is back. (",)

This page requires a higher version browser Here is another report on Panglao, one of the best tourist attractions of the province of Bohol. Marjorie Gorospe of Inquirer.net explores the island and discovers locals (Bol-anons) and tourists savoring the peace and quite of the island laced by beautiful white-sand beaches.

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 .

Villa rate for 2 persons is 1700 Php starting February 1st, 1500...

It is always refreshing to be able to get out of the city and spend time on the white sands of the shore of some island. One such place is Panglao, Bohol. There is unimpeded view of the blue sea, the relaxing feel of white sand, the combined effect of sunlight and sea breeze on your skin, and some shade of palm providing a bit of cover. See all that here in this photo I took at Dumaluan Beach Resort. Lovely, isn't it?
