Bohol Beach Resorts - Guide to the Best Panglao Island Resorts

Guide to picking Bohol Beach Resorts in Panglao Island 

There are numerous resorts in Bohol mainly in Panglao Island beside Bohol mainland. There are several areas in Panglao Island where these are located.

Alona Beach, the most popular albeit 'touristy' area, is a 1 kilometer long white sand beach, where you can find Amorita, Alona Tropical, Alona Pyramid, Golden Palm, Alona Kew, Isis Bungalows, and other seafront accommodations. Restaurants and resorts in Alona are close together. The beach is not as clean or clear as Bolod area but it is still a great white sand beach. From here you may go diving or dolphin watching in Balicasag Island Marine sanctuary or the many dive spots nearby. Rates range from PhP 2000-7000+ per room, good for two.

Bolod Beach area, meanwhile, is a quieter 1.5 kilometer long white sand beach, home to Amarela, Bohol Beach Club, Whites and Greens, Dumaluan, and the upscale Eskaya Resort and Spa. Resorts are far from each other unlike those in Alona beach. Bolod beach is great for swimming and snorkling as the waters are clean, clear and the sand is very fine. It also has a great sunrise. It is a jumpoff point to Pamilacan Island, playground of the dolphins. Resort rates also range from PhP 2000 - 7000+ per room, good for two.
