Panglao Island Nature Resort

Check Bohol Bee Farm entry first.

At around 2:30pm, nagpahatid na kami sa Panglao Island Nature Resort. It's also in Dauis Panglao like Bee Farm pero 30 mins ride pa din. They charged us P600 for the transfers.

Finally...

my dream to go here came true! *winks*

I discovered this place through Jamie's blog. Since then, I've been wanting to go here bago pa kami nagBoracay, Disneyland, etc. Eto talaga gusto ko mapuntahan.

I'll make kwento muna. Super nagsearch ako kung Bohol Beach Club or PINR ang pupuntahan namin. We settled for PINR kasi less crowded yung place, plus OK daw ang food compared sa isa.

Overnight rate here is P8,500. No way! That's so expensive. Tapos we can't miss Bee Farm as well. What we did, we paid for a day tour rate of P350 each, where P250 is consumable for the food. Great deal yan. Im happy!

This is the somewhere...

wow Panglao!

wow infinity pool

man-made islet

Now who says Chocolate Hills at Tarsiers lang ang attraction sa Bohol?

Before we swim sa tempting infinity pools with jacuzzi, nagpahatid muna kami sa boatman sa man-made islet. Ang ganda ng view from here.

parang station 1 ng bora

thanks sa tripod at may couple shots

colors of summer

Nagswim kami after ng pictorial. The water is cold kahit pa ang init ng araw. Mejo malalim din. And I was delighted when I saw some cutey fish! No need to go snorkeling. Yey!



We decided na bumalik na to enjoy the infinity pool naman. Btw, sa buong resort, 3 groups lang kaming bisita. Maybe this is really the advantage of PINR over Bohol Beach Club. Relaxation and privacy.

Tara balik na sa

jacuzzi infinity pools

Let's swim!

a-y-l-a-v-e-t

Oh come on, mga korni at fat people lang nagswiswimming with clothes on! (flip ng hair!)

Meron 3, 4 ,5 at 6 feet deep. And of course the jacuzzi na kami lang gumagamit.

private jacuzzi?

We really enjoyed the beach and the pool. Nag-explore kami ng resort after. Very nice talaga. Specially when you're only paying P350! ^_^

relaxation ba hanap mo?

we found it here

This is the hallway to the dining area. 2nd floor so while eating, over looking kami sa super infinity pools and the man-made islet. The best!

dining area na overlooking ang beach at infinity pool

We had dinner here. Mejo matagal i-serve pero worth the wait. I ordered for canned juice pala kasi may lasa yung tubig nila dito. I dont like!

Here's our dinner...

cream of mushroom soup

Beef Salpicao

Vegetable Curry

Super sarap! Nabusog kame. Not so pricey pa, besides, since 250 ang consumable sa day tour fee, we can consume 500 worth ng food. 250 nalang binayaran namin in excess. Sulit!


At around 7pm, nagpasundo na kami sa driver ng Bee Farm pabalik ng resort nila.

Very nice Panglao Island Nature Resort day tour, agree?

Bohol Bee Farm Review (with pictures)

I booked for PAL's Econolight, the fare type without meal. It's just an hour flight to Tagbilaran anyway. We saved some hundred pesos in doing this, unless big deal sayo ang crackers at coffee.

Econolight Fare is taking us to Tagbilaran

Delayed ang flight, supposedly 8.00 pero 8.20 ay boarding time palang. Im assigned at seat 25A while Enrico is seated at 27A. Katabi ko ang two mommies na may Fiesta Fare type so may Rebisco Crackers at Happy Peanuts sila. Binigyan nila ko so chikahan ever kame. First time din nila sa Bohol. They thought Im alone. I said my boyfriend is seated at the back, ayun nga paglingon namen sa kanya busy siya sa pagkuha ng pictures. Both of us took window seats kasi. BTW, nakasabay namen sa flight na yun ang Bamboo. 4 rows ahead sila saken.

We landed at Tagbilaran at around 9:45. Nag-aabang na yung service namen to Panglao Island.

Bohol Bee Farm

To start with, we booked for Barn, which is a room for two. Luckily they upgraded us for free to a Garden Bungalow which is bigger and overlooking the garden. We are assigned at Eggplant room and everything inside is purple. Cutey!

Garden Bungalow are Veggies/Fruits inspired rooms

Our house key is also an Eggplant!

Will post the interior of our room later so let's all ask Enrico na isend niya saken yung photo na yun. *winks*

After 48 years, here are the Bee Farm Room photos.

bathroom

We explored the place after we placed our bags inside. Ang ganda ng lugar. Not crowded. Lahat ng staff will greet you with a smile. Super relaxing ang view. Presko din dahil surrounded ng 10 million plants. Random pictures of the place...

all hallways are surrounded by plants

2 indoor pools - dito din ang breakfast area. nice!

spa area

busy

We decided na dito na sa area na to maglunch. Gutomness na kame.

Much awaited din ang food trip dito dahil they only serve organic food. Eto kinain namen...

Bohol Bee Farm Menu

Honey Glazed Chicken, Brown Rice, w/ Garden Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

Stir Fry Veggies - super healthy food

we dont have any problems in eating those flowers, unless gumamela yun!

highlight yung pagkain ng red, yellow, and blue flowers

We enjoyed this yummy lunch date by the beach.
After a very good meal, harutan na ulit; I mean exploration na ulit. Sa beach area naman.

relaxing breeze facing the beach

care to spend your siesta here?

Did you notice na nasa cliff yung Bee Farm so pababa yung beach? Yes, we are aware of this. Walang shoreline. But it's ok. You will found out later (next entry) how did we enjoy Panglao Beach. *wink*

Nagpahinga na kame then went Panglao Island Nature Resort.

At night, non-stop photoshoot it is before matulog...

buzz light year

Naalala ko na after shift ay derecho na sa airport so I have to sleep na. It was indeed a very relaxing ang enjoyable day for us.

We decided to wake up early to take sunrise shots at the beach. I went to the restroom and found this in the sink...

nangiti ako dito inferness

thanks dude, that's sweet. kaya pala di ka pa natulog agad.

Tara na sa beach!

good morning Panglao

gold yung balat ko!

At around 7am, nagpunta na kame sa breakfast area. Set breakfast is free! Yey!

Honey Glazed Ham, Mango Pancake, and Omelet

The taste is too strong for the ham. Di ko type. Im not a fan of eggs also. Pancake lang na-enjoy ko. I asked for the Herb Bread, and the three different speads. Naserve na din to as complimentary meal kahapon at super nasarapan ako! Pinakamasarap na bread and spread combo that i ever ate!

Herb Bread, spreads in Mango, Pesto, Honey; and Papaya Juice

Moving on, we continued walking and enjoyed taking photos of the place, lalo na yung mga EDIBLE flowers around.

from yellow (Enrico said it has a mint taste)

to orange

to blue

to lilac

to pink (I guess I wont dare eat this)

the red forbidden fruit?


mickey are you there?

Enough of the macro shots. Magsasawa ka sa dame ng interesting plants everywhere.

I have no regrets I chose BBF among the many resorts to stay in at Panglao island. It was a very wonderful experience for us. From service, to the smiling staff, to the cutey rooms, the fascinating view, the superb garden, the super yummy organic food; everything is worth your money. Surely someday we'll go back here.

All shots are taken from my point and shoot Canon Ixus 85.
