The Beaches of Panglao Island in Bohol

During our Bohol – Cebu Trip, we stayed in Panglao Island - at Dumaluan Beach Resort.  We chose this over the Alona resorts because we preferred a more private relaxed vacation.  The price was just right for the amenities it offered and we got the atmosphere that we longed for.  This side of Panglao houses some of Bohol's 1st class resorts including Bohol Beach Club and the Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa [just next to Dumaluan Beach]

The whole stretch is made of corally-white sand and starfishes are seen along the beach.  At low tide, a wider stretch of sand is exposed ideal for beach sports and other activities.  Dipping at the warm water is another must.   The beach is open for free to anyone and is open from dawn till night.

BOHOL - CEBU TRIP

Day 1

We left Manila at about 1230pm and arrived at Tagbiliran at about 145pm.  We passed by Payag restaurant for our late lunch then headed straight to Panglao Island - Dumaluan Beach Resort where we checked in for the night.  We originally reserved for a deluxe room but unfortunately I failed to make a confirmation so I lost the slot.  Thankfully there was still an executive family room and we grabbed it immediately.  What's best is that we were given the online discounted rates which was far below their rack rates.  For best rates around Panglao, check this link.

We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the pool and the beach.  We also hired a habalhabal to visit the nearby Alona beaches.  After dinner, we dipped for a while to enjoy the lukewarm seawater then had a short “socials” for a good night sleep.
