Hotels near Bohol-Panglao International Airport - TAG, Tagbilaran City

Panglao is very nice, your camera will love it here!! I will be going back. If you like to dive, this is paradise. there is also, sandy beaches, boating, jet skiing, parasailing, skin diving... all the sea sports are here. Great Trip! Lots of sea food, Many Bars and Restaurants, as well as other entertainment, very reasonable.

I liked the vibe of Alona Beach, but it doesn't compare to Boracay. Island hopping excursions looked like they would be fun, but we opted out and just relaxed. Diving was great! Our research showed that the whaleshark tour offered to Oslob was not ethical in the treatment of the whalesharks so we did not do it.

We arrived at Panglao airport and looked for a tricycle to take us to our hotel. Our driver offered to take us on tours with his tricycle so we made arrangements with him. Day 1: country side tour (loboc river cruise, chocolate hills, tarsiers, butterfly garden). Day 2: he connected us with a group to go island hopping with (dolfin watching, snorkeling, virgin island). Day 3: Panglao island tour (we only chose to go to two places - the cave and the bee farm). We noticed that not a lot of people went round to these tourist spots using tricycles like we did; almost everyone went with vans. We just opted for the tricycle because it was cheaper, and not being a group meant we had more freedom to decide how much time we wanted to spend at each place.

Panglao has everything to offer - ease of access just 15 minutes from airport and you are on Alona beach. You have several beaches to choose from if quiet is what you need and be away from the action of Alona. There are also so many nature/adventure / cultural and historical tours to choose from that is a day tour away. Tricycles and private cars/vans are readily available. Lots of great food choices as well. Go for freshly grilled seafood!!

Panglao is an island in the north Bohol Sea, located in the Central Visayas region of the Visayas island group, in the south-central Philippines. Panglao Island is Bohol's best beach destination. It is situated southwest of Bohol and south of Cebu.

Panglao is a small island easy to navigate. We did not join any tours but utilized the local tub-tuks that took us around. It felt safe,, welcoming, people are very friendly. The beaches are so beautiful.
