Manila Guide Online

Just two hours from Cebu is a small island filled with white sandy beaches, manmade forest, heartwarming people and a large python to look forward to.  Bohol is famous for its unique geological formation known as the Chocolate Hills, which are more than a thousand cone-shaped hills scattered in the central part of the island that assume the looks of chocolate puddings in the dry season.

Panglao,a small island in the Visayas which is virtually attached to the main island of Bohol, connected by two bridges of just 50 meters in length. All major beach resorts are located on Panglao with its pristine white beaches and clean seawater. Panglao is also the destination of choice for many divers.

Located centrally in the Philippine Archipelago, Bohol lies in the heart of the Visayas with the islands of Cebu, Leyte, Siquijor, and Negros as its neighbors. Bohol (with a land area of 4117 sq. km) is 700 km directly south of Manila, the national capital, and is about 79 km southeast of Cebu City.

What I love about this island is how you try to fit all your activities in one day. Its quite impossible because there are so many things to visit at Bohol. The Chocolate Hills which are very fascinating can’t be visited for just an hour, you need more time to appreciate it luscious colors.

First of all, one must reach the Philippines by plane, either through Manila or Cebu. From Manila, one can take a domestic flight, either direct to Tagbilaran (capital city of Bohol) with Philippine Airlines (PAL) or Cebu Pacific (CEB), or to Cebu City, again with PAL or Cebu Pacific. Please check their respective schedules, as there are frequent changes.

Aside from all this, you could also choose a whole dozen resorts to enjoy your stay at Bohol.Bohol is proud of its beautiful white sand beaches and many interesting dive spots.

Club Serena speaks of a thousand square meters of poetry – breathtaking scenery, idyllic sea, sparkling sand, amazing dive sites, and awesome sunsets dipping beyond the shoulders of Tayasan, Negros Oriental.

Its very “exclusive” atmosphere could send one planting his feet in off-white grains of sand lapped endlessly by Tañon Strait’s translucent waters. Like most of Club Serena’s visitors, one could easily become captive of its surreal charms, or could be mystified by the splaying of vibrant colors on its stupendous skyline.
