The Call of Bohol.

First the photos.....

THE LOBBY







THE POOL







THE ROOM





THE FOOD






THE SPA










THE CAVES








THE BEACH






THE PROS
The rooms are clean, the pool has an amazing view of the ocean, the water is calm and shallow that kids would love. There's a cave where guests can swim in (water is cold though, but refreshing). The ala carte menu has a wide variety to choose from and all that we ordered were pretty good. The SPA is wonderful! The staff are friendly and helpful. The package that we got was very reasonable. P15,000/pax inclusive of 3 days, 2 nights stay, airfare, airport transfers, welcome drink, buffet breakfast and dinner. Not bad eh? BUT.......

THE CONS
Cheffie and I would always complain to ourselves about the 5 to 8 waiters just standing around chatting to themselves for hours by the pool bar while thousands of dead leaves were being left under the bushes instead of being collected and disposed of properly, the super slow service for the food and drinks (especially if you order by the beach), the buffet is very limited, especially to foreigners). They say it is free WIFI but despite numerous attempts, even with the help of their technician, we didn't connection so we weren't able to check our precious FACEBOOK accounts.

THE JUDGEMENT
Would probably try Amorita or Bohol Beach Club next time just to see the difference but I would still recommend PANGLAO ISLAND NATURE RESORT and SPA to you guys. Hopefully after my letter to the management on how they can improve their services, you might not have anything bad to say about it. Anyway, that's what friends are for right?

So when you decide to go to Bohol.....TAKE ME ALONG WITH YOU! By the way, I don't fly Cebu Pacific. On our way back to Manila, poor passengers of CP were delayed for hours. I pity the young children who had to wait in the shoe box sized airport. It's just NOT right!

Try Ananyana next time. It's intimate, service is great and the food is superb. And Dario, the resort's driver, is a marvelous tour guide!

i really find it odd that waiters just stand there doing nothing and sometimes there services are really sooooo slow considering they are just serving 2-3 tables
