Arrival:
Once we arrived in Bohol, we booked a Grab taxi to our accommodation in Panglao
We stayed at Alona Whitehouse, which we booked through booking.com
I highly recommend this place, as it was very close to the centre (5 minute walk) and was affordable. Other things we enjoyed about our stay, was the lovely and friendly staff, who helped us with airport transportation back to the airport on our last day, as it is difficult to always get grab drivers, 700PHP for transport to airport.
After arriving from the airport, we were very tired and we mainly spent our day at Alona beach. Super beautiful, with blue water and soft sand. You can also book scuba diving.
Activities:
- Alona Beach
- Scuba diving at Alona Beach
- NOTE: Add picture of beach
Restaurants:
- Lunch we had Jolibees
- Dinner: Neapolitans
Things to know:
