until we got there, hubby had absolutely no idea how we were going to spend our 2 week philippine vacation. i planned the itinerary on my own, made all the reservations and bookings (gotta love online bookings!), and he and jan basically just went along with my plans, hehe. and the vaca went fantabulously well, if i may say so myself. it was fully packed, but we also managed to get some serious family r&r.

the chunk of our holiday was spent in panglao island, bohol. i was able to take advantage of cebu pacific’s piso fare promotions, and after scouring the web for accommodation options, i’ve decided on booking us in bohol beach club. and i couldn’t have chosen any better. sure, there’s eskaya and ananyana for those whose prefer luxurious dwellings, but unfortunately, our pockets don’t go so deep. in bohol beach club, we had an awesome powdery white sand beach that was almost 2 km long, with shallow sandy waters that’s safe even for the most mischievous of kids (read: jan). the sprawling resort was so big we hardly felt the presence of other guests (although we were there on a lean season, there were batches of east asian tourists and company retreats). three restaurants plus a bar, three swimming pools, and the long beach for the exclusive use of the resort guests. the rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly (altho a tad bit slow sometimes), and the food was good. for those looking for a place in bohol that’s great value for money, i wouldn’t hesitate recommending the bohol beach club, particularly for families with small kids, and those who prefer peace and quiet to clubbing and nightlife. some of my favorite snapshots from bbc:
