Visiting Hinagdanan Cave was such a great experience! The cave itself is beautiful, with stunning rock formations and a magical atmosphere. The water inside is refreshingly cold — perfect for a swim after exploring. It’s a nice place to relax, enjoy nature, and have a unique swimming experience. Definitely worth a visit! 🙋‍♀️

Hinagdanan Cave is a popular natural attraction in Bohol. We went here in a rush about almost 3pm since they are open only from morning 8:00 AM to late afternoon 4:00 PM. ​It is said the best time to visit is on a weekday and as early as possible (around opening time) to avoid crowds. The cave can get busy, especially on weekends and holidays. ​ When you go in, you'd see impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations. ​Yes, there is an entrance fee to simply enter and view the cave. ​There is a separate and additional fee if you wish to swim in the underground lagoon. I just forgot how much it did cost us when we visit. ​Also, fees can change, so it's best to check current rates before visiting. The entrance is a narrow descent with steps, and the interior can be slippery. It is generally not wheelchair accessible or recommended for individuals with reduced mobility. Watch out for your Kids as well as there are restricted areas on the cave. ​ ​The lagoon is a mix of fresh and possibly saltwater, with depths that can reach about 10 meters (32 feet). ​Life jackets are usually available for rent or provided for swimmers. Overall, we were thrilled to have experience the historic lagoon in Bohol.

The experience is unforgettable. It is my first time going to cave. I am speechless about how beautiful the cave is. So please swim on the Lagoon inside the cave for the full experience. There are entrance fee (october 2025) if you want to visit only 50 pesos and if you want to swim you will add 75 pesos and total is (125 pesos).

This is a quick trip If you're not planning on swimming. We were in an out in less than half an hour. It's inexpensive so still worth the visit however don't expect a lot. Staff are alright. Lots of aggressive and loud vendors - learn to say no and walk away. Overall a decent experience

Hinagdanan Cave in Panglao is a beautiful hidden gem walking down makes you feel like you’ve discovered a secret underground emerald pool, surrounded by dramatic stalactites and stalagmites. Sunlight filtering through the ceiling lights up the place in the most magical way, and a refreshing dip in its cool lagoon is a welcome treat. Be careful on the slippery steps and go early to avoid crowds it’s worth every bit of adventure.

For 50 pesos you will enjoy the beauty of Hinagdanan cave, it is just a walking distance in Mithi resort. You can swim for 80 pesos additional, which we did not grab. The entrance is narrow, so be careful. There is only one passageway for entrance and exit. Suggestion to improve: hard hats for every visitor for safety. God Bless.

This was one of the stops in our Bohol tour – the Hinagdanan Cave. If it’s your first time, they will ask if you need a tour guide (they also take your photos). You can decide how much to tip them. The oxygen level inside is a bit low, so I had a hard time breathing. I would’ve appreciated it more if I had prepared for swimming. It’s allowed if you want to.

Amazing church 😍 Each angle, section, even the doors and windows are expensive and luxurious works of art.

The st joseph cathedral is so beautiful and the outside is clean and the people is nice with everyday choirs

Paris in Tagbilaran was founded in 1595 by Jesuit missionaries. The original church was razed by fire in 1798. The church was reconstructed and enlarged from 1839 to 1855. The convent and the tower were constructed from 1884 to 1888. Due to the 2013 Bohol earthquake, the exterior and interior of the cathedral had undergone major reconstructions. The church was very crowded on Palm Sunday.

Visiting St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral Shrine was a spiritually enriching experience. The cathedral's stunning architecture and serene ambiance create a peaceful space for reflection and prayer. The intricate details of the shrine and the beautiful stained glass windows contribute to its sacred atmosphere. Attending a service here was a truly uplifting moment, with the community's warm welcome adding to the sense of unity. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral Shrine is a place of solace and reverence, making it a must-visit destination in Bohol.

I love to visit the Church when we travel. Its a place to thank God for bringing us to Bohol. Its one of the beautiful and old church I've visited. Some of the photos are taken on the candle lighting area of the church.

this place has a magnificent interior design. the moral on the ceiling is majestic and makes you feel like your in Rome. the place offers a car park for those who has vehicles. although the exterior part of the cathedral may look old but that is what makes the cathedral look authentic.. the candle area is loceted beside the cathedral which also has beautiful statues of Jesus, Mary, Jospeh, etc. right next to the candle area is the rest room which is clean and oderless... overall, i love the place and would plan to visit here if i ever come back to Bohol....

Historically rich and culturally beautiful church, located at the heart of the city and serves as the seat of the Diocese of Tagbilaran. Recent renovations were on going during a visit and looking forward on seeing it when it's done.

The Blood Compact Shrine in Tagbilaran is a small but meaningful historical site. It marks the first peace treaty between the Spaniards and Filipinos in 1565. The bronze statue is well-made and overlooks a nice sea view. It’s a quick stop that you can include in your tour if you have extra time. There’s no entrance fee, but there’s not much historical signage and not much else to see. It would also be great if local officials could improve the road leading to the monument.

The sculpture was transferred to a new location near the coast, few meters from the original site. The new location is much spacious with potential to accommodate more historical structures. There is now dedicated parking area, however the road created to access the site is yet to be paved. There are few shops offering quick bites, souvenirs and photography. There are lots to improve, but overall the experience is great.

It's a nice place to take in history or if you just wanna have a relaxing day at the park. I wish there were more stalls to get food though. There was one food truck when we went, but it was closed-not sure if it's permanently closed or not though. It might be cause it was already late in the afternoon when we went and it wasn't open.

This site is easily accessible and holds great historical significance. It appears they are working to develop it into more of a tourist park, with souvenir trucks and displays of statues honoring important figures in the island’s history. Unfortunately, many of the statues are poorly crafted and not well maintained, showing visible signs of decay.

a very small area containing statues and an amphitheater. place needs maintenance as some statues have fell. Just a nice place for a quick tour around.

Just a statue depicting the scene of the Blood compact. The road leading to the area was rocky and not maintained. There must be a good access to the place.

One of the classic tourist curcuit stops. They moved it from the main road to down by the amphitheater. A few flights down to reach it, or take the single lane muddy road. Decent spot for a picnic in the city.

One of the most beautiful and colorful churches ever visited and (in my opinion) the best in Bohol. It has a magical atmosphere where you can feel the Hispanic-Filipino religiosity and a deep feeling of peace 🕊️

One of the oldest churches in the Philippines. If you are a devoted Catholic or Christian, you will appreciate this church its architecture and history. It's close to the sea, and if you walk around the outside of the church, you'll see it. Overall, it's beautiful and worth visiting.

Cool church, nice beach around it. Worth a stop. Some vendors on the grounds in case you want drinks or snacks. Parking looks like it could be tough at times. Easy to access and play area for the kids. Take a quick tour

The church is good and the outside is very nice and clean

Absolutely stunning. With an imposing exterior and a beautifully painted interior, this church is worth a visit. A bonus treat is the Dauis watchtower and a small, quiet jetty, both located at the back of the church.

This parish was named a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Commission. The paintings and altars are so beautiful. Some of the artwork made me reflect on how the Holy Spirit guided the Holy Family before the birth of Jesus and how significant Jesus' life was. It was really humid tho so make sure to dress light but modest. Bring a fan also. Mass wise- there's a 4pm English Mass on Saturdays. There's usually a wedding beforehand so just be conscious about the time. The speakers arent that great either so if you want to hear Mass, choose a front pew. There's also a blessing for healing after the Mass. All in all, great parish to check out while you're in Bohol! God Bless 🤗

Beautiful 17th century Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately it was largely destroyed in an earthquake and rebuilt. Looks amazing, the interior is very beautiful compared with the rather simple exterior.

Bohol Bee Farm is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience. They offer other activities like farm tours and local product shopping, but I just came for the food, and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Their organic approach really shines through in every dish. And their homemade ice cream? Absolutely a must-try! Unique flavors and super creamy—perfect for the Bohol heat. A great stop if you're in the area, even if it’s just for a meal.

Bohol Bee Farm is one of the most memorable stays I’ve had in Bohol. The resort has a very cozy and rustic charm, surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking the sea. The rooms are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed simple yet very comfortable. The staff are exceptionally warm and accommodating, making every guest feel welcome. Their restaurant is a highlight: organic, farm to table meals with fresh flavors, and the homemade ice cream is a must-try. I especially enjoyed dining with the beautiful ocean view. Beyond the food and rooms, the farm tour and small shop add a unique touch, offering a glimpse of local culture and sustainable living. Overall, it’s a perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and experience authentic Boholano hospitality.

Great restaurant with various other handmade goods for sale at their in house shops. We are here for dinner and ribs were great, we also ordered take out via Panglao Food delivery on Facebook and the burger was amazing. Prices are reasonable and food used good quality ingredients. Portions were also a good size, would definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to eat in Panglao The homemade ice cream here came in lots of flavours and would highly recommend trying. Only improvement would be keeping the dogs away from diners as it’s a bit annoying when they say don’t feed them but the animals hang around your table waiting.

A very nice place, a fantastic restaurant. All the dishes are highly recommended! Beautifully served, very tasty, and... relatively inexpensive! And the delicious ice cream for dessert.

The place was good, serving of food was for sharing and the foods we ordered was really delicious. Their Tinola and curry is a must try specially the Ice Cream. 🤤 The view is spectacular.

Visited on October 14, 2025 Really enjoyed my visit to Bohol Bee Farm! The food was delicious and fresh, and the atmosphere was peaceful with a lovely ocean view. I especially loved their homemade ice cream served in a cassava cone — definitely a must-try! 🍦🐝 The location is great, with several small cafés and restaurants nearby, making it a nice spot to relax and explore the area after your meal.

When we arrived the staff greet us and guide us quickly going to the restaurant there dine in have plenty of tables. We are seated in front of the viewing deck facing the sea. The food is delicious and they got a complimentary food will you are waiting for your order and you can buy it on there shop. The Spreads are very tasty. They are reminding you that some of the product are not allowed on a hand carry bag when you check in at the airport. When we are about to leave the one staff so us reading the informations regarding the history of the Bee farm and tell us why there is no more bees on there captivity. He explain that during the pandemic and typhoon odette they lost the queen bee so the colony didn't strive and tried to cultivate the local bees but they are too aggressive so they are planning to restore it i hope it will succeed. Note: all of there honey products are from wild bees collected across different part of bohol.

Dumaluan Beach is definitely the most beautiful beach in Panglao, Bohol! The soft white sand, stunning blue water, and picturesque palm trees make it feel like a true tropical paradise. Peaceful, clean, and perfect for relaxing—highly recommended!

Beautiful beach, even when raining. Snorkeling is not good though. I prefer Beach of Bohol which is next to this one - follow Google maps pin and you’ll see a place with lots of tall palm trees like on these photos. 🌴🌴🌴

Go to VILLA UMI: Gorgeous little private beach section with loungers, umbrellas, local food and a warm welcome. Came just for lunch and was able to change, swim and shower. Nicer than the busier place just west of here.

Incredible beach. Not even comparable to Alona. Beautiful very long stretch of white sand and crystal turquoise waters. Lined with gorgeous palm trees and beautiful resort hotels. Incredible for sunrise this time of year. Less visible for sunsets (in January). No issues with sandflies which was a win!! Only issue is you do need to pay 100 to enter (if you’re staying along in a hotel along the beach, you can get this refunded) and you get a wristband for the day. Quite a bit of seaweed on the shore - but that’s nature! Heaps of starfish which are gorgeous! Would recommend over Alona every day! Worth the tuktuk from Alona or extra cost per night to stay along on the beach. Day pass at Oceanica is great if you’re not staying here.

Of the three beaches we visited during our Panglao Island vacation, I would rank this second to Doljo Beach by a very slim margin but way ahead of Alona Beach by a wide margin. Pros: 1. A beach with a wide span of fine white sand with not so many people walking around, maybe just because of the limited way to access them via Beach front resort like Oceanica (previously South Palm). 2. Relatively clear sea water, especially compared to the more famous Alona Beach. 3. If you go through Oceanica to gain access just just we did, you need to order either food or drinks or both to use their lounges and tables to put your things. 4. If you're the type who likes sunbathing, this is a good beach to lay down and just relax and pass the time. The sun can be really harsh at noon. 5. Breathtaking sunset viewing even if it's not directly against Dumaluan. The hues of orange and pink is really majestic. 6. Food from Oceanica was good, especially their club sandwich and pizza. 7. Great for kids as the sea is not that deep even on high tide. Cons: 1. It breaks my heart that there are so many floating plastic trash. I brought back to the shore at least ten sachets or tetra packs that I stepped on while wading in the shallow water of Dumaluan beach. Hope Oceanica or the LGUs would take action to maintain cleanliness. 2. Doljo Beach has a long stretch of sea weeds but somehow you can't see floating leaves. But here in Dumaluan, you would be wading with them. 3. Although the water look relatively clean, it's not as clear as the Doljo beach where you can see the sand while walking. 4. A little farther, and there's a short stretch of rough road before arriving at Oceanica. Tips: 1. If you are on a tight budget, you can just order drinks from Oceanica and you can stay the day and enjoy the beach (but not the pool). 2. Check out the high tide low tide schedule so you can maximize your visit.

Beautiful beach ,must visit if you want to just swim

Panglao Island boasts several of the country's finest beaches, with Alona Beach and Dumaluan Beach at the top of the list. Both feature powdery white sand, but what sets Dumaluan apart from Alona is its serene, calm, and peaceful atmosphere, free from the hustle and bustle of numerous establishments. Dumaluan Beach is home to Bohol Beach Club, the premier resort in Bohol, and Dumaluan Beach Resort, which offers both private and public sections. One of the perks of Dumaluan is the lack of strict boundaries between resorts. You can snap selfies in the scenic surroundings of Bohol Beach Club or enjoy the lively atmosphere in the public area of Dumaluan Beach Resort. However, keep in mind that the nightlife here is quieter compared to Alona Beach. While the peaceful ambiance is ideal for relaxation, finding affordable food and refreshments can be a challenge. The resorts offer options, but be prepared for higher prices that might take a toll on your budget.

Quiet place with a western style theme. Booths are the seating arrangement. Food was well presented and the beef with oyster sauce would have been excellent if served hot sizzling on a cast iron skillet! Overall the food was good.

This has been one of my faves resto in Tagbilaran, Bohol. The food is great (though a bit pricy), portioning is fair, taste good all the time. The ambiance is warm & homey and the service is always great!🥰👏👏👏

A slice of Americana in the Philippines. This place is both a good restaurant and a mini museum of cowboy artifacts. In addition to that, they train and employ hearing challenged young adults. I had the American burger and a side of fries, delicious! Others in my group had fish sandwich and spaghetti with garlic bread. All enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Will be returning soon...

Went to Bohol and made a quick dinner stop at Garden Café in Tagbilaran—but wow, it turned into something special. The food was great, and the dragon fruit juice? Easily the best I’ve ever had. But what made it unforgettable was the staff—most of them are deaf, and the café exists to give them meaningful work and a welcoming space to thrive. The vibe was warm, and they even included a basic sign language guide in the menu so you can communicate with the servers. But for me, it was extra personal. I grew up learning sign because my aunt, who lives with us, is deaf—so signing is second nature to me. When I signed with our server and saw her light up, it instantly made my day. Moments like that remind me how beautiful inclusion is when people are seen, respected, and embraced. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a reminder of the kind of world we should all be creating. Big love to this café for serving food with heart and purpose. What a beautiful experience.

I visited there all deaf worker garden Cafe restaurant.they did great service and friendly. I ate nacho very good taste Mexican yum yum awesome

I had to try Garden Café when I saw that they serve Starbucks coffee, knowing that there aren’t any Starbucks branches in Bohol. True enough, they do serve Starbucks, though it’s the Nespresso-style pre-mixed shot kind (not brewed from whole beans), but still a nice option to have. I really enjoyed their bluberry cheesecake. It wasn’t overly sweet or too cheesy, just the right balance with a nice creamy texture. The ambiance of the place is great, and I love that they employ Deaf staff — it’s wonderful to see inclusivity in action. A shout-out as well to Kuya guard at the parking area who's very helpful and friendly. Looking forward to trying more from their menu on my next visit!

Generous servings and pleasant ambience. I appreciate how you support the deaf community!

The coffee here is a solid 5/5—strong and spot-on flat white and cappuccino. Stunning sea views with lush mangroves add to the charm. It’s an al fresco setup, so with the summer heat, it can get uncomfortably warm. The wooden chairs look great but aren’t necessarily comfortable. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They offer a wide selection of vegan food, but there’s not much else on the menu—and not much in the way of desserts. We didn’t finish the mango-chocolate tart we ordered—it was just okay, not the kind of dessert that leaves you wanting more (which is the whole point, isn’t it?).

Very nice place with a fantastic view. A varied menu with some interesting food on it. Mango lassi was gorgeous. Really friendly helpful staff aswell.

My visit to Chido has always been nothing short of exceptional. The first thing you'll notice is their superb customer service--the crew is respectful and always smiling. The waiting time for service is minimal, making the experience even more enjoyable. And the food? Consistently delicious! The cherry on top is the breathtaking view, especially at sunset--it's simply dreamy. Definitely a must-visit! 😊

A peaceful place with a nice Seaview with the Dauis hills behind. Menu had a good variety of dishes with South East Asian flavours and typical Filipino choices as well. I ordered the Hidden Dragon a medium spicy dish with ground pork, noodles and a soup styled base. Overall l gave it 7 out of 10 the flavour of the noodles overpowered the liquid broth. My partner had the Chido Beef burger with French Fries, it was a very meaty burger and filling - 10/10. I do recommend trying the Vietnamese Coffee tasted great and not easy to find. Great views out in the back of the Restuarant. Do yourself a favour give Chido Cafe a try it's very close to the junction( Dauis Bridge) Tagbilaran.

Update; Another visit here. I was disappointed that the breakfast taco was not available. BUT…. I had the chili instead. So glad for the opportunity to try it. Very delicious and full of flavors. Wow! Nice cafe, great food, friendly service, and sea view to enjoy with a nice breeze. The Seoulful is fresh and delicious with a spicy kick. The beet salad is a great mix with various flavors bursting in your mouth.

This place is so underrated . They serve different foods that you cant really find elsewhere and it is absolutely stunning. The place is also very relaxing. Must try cafe in Bohol

A great place for hangouts. Nice view of the sea and the island. Only problem I had was the ventilation of the room. As soon as we entered the cafe the smell of food being cooked was overwhelming and this persisted until we left. In fact I could still smell the menu in my clothes when I got home. Coffee was okay. I didn't get to try the food but I might visit again one of these days.

If you’re looking for authentic Thai food, then Thai Basil Restaurant is the place to be. Chef Elvie makes all the curry paste from scratch, all herbs and spices are shipped from Thailand 🇹🇭 The staff is very attentive and the place has a good ambiance. They also have a big parking area. I must say when we were in Thai Basil it felt like we were in Thailand again. She also does fresh crabs every Friday just order in advance because it sells out fast, not to mention at a very decent price! In fact, all of the dishes are very Affordable. Thanks for bringing Thailand to Panglao Chef! God bless you!

We stayed in Bohol 3 nights and came here 3 times! The food is perfect. Fresh ingredients and sooo tasty. We loved the vege spring rolls, the green chicken curry and the pad Thai, and for dessert, the fried banana with coconut toffee. The best restaurant in the area! Definitely recommend.

Amazing little restaurant in Bohol. The food is extremely authentic in flavour and really tasty. We tried the Pork with Basil (Prad Ka Praw) Tom Yum Goong and Som Tum. All were well presented and super tasty! We were astonished at the pricing for such amazing food as well! The chef/owner was a chef in Chiang Mai which is where the authentic flavors come from!

The place is small and the restaurant is basically a hut by the roadside—one with simple chairs, simple simple tables, simple electric fans, simple gravel flooring (try not to drop your phones here), and simple decors and wall structures (you can see the neighbors hanging their laundry). But despite its unassuming appearance, the food here is downright delicious, the flavors definitely Thai and tasty. The best thing is that it is affordable. The owner/chef is very accommodating and friendly. It offers free WiFi connectivity. Our main concern here is that the restaurant decided to stock soda/softdrink that's in small plastic bottles instead of the regular glass bottle. The island of Panglao has a serious waste management problem, and to add more single-use plastics (like plastic bottles, bags, straws, etc.) to the equation only complicates the problem. I hope the restaurant would re-consider getting the drinks in reusable glass bottles like in the old days.

Wow! This Thai restaurant is incredible and superb. Their staffs are really friendly and what's cool is you'll have some yummy snacks to bite in while waiting for your order and it's free. Hehe. And what's Really big deal with this restaurant is the flavor they put into their foods. I can never forget that yummy seafood fried rice which I ordered twice. So if you're looking for some Thai flavors and spices never miss this place.

Great thai food. Group of all ordered different thai dishes. All decent portions for 200-250 pesos per meal. Can ofder different level of spice for each meal. One of the better spots in panglao.

Excellent and reasonably priced Thai foods! Been here twice, they have a wide array of Thai cuisine. Must try if you're in Panglao 😊

Awesome place with tasty food! Servers are fast & friendly. Food arrived fast too. Choose from seafood, vegies, meat boodle & eat with your hands for the complete experience. Foreigners: boodle fight is native food spread out on a banana leaf (rice, grilled fish/meat, fried pork, etc) and you are meant to eat it with your hands while sharing it with your companions. Costs 1500php +. They also have seperate dishes too. It can be suuuper busy, call or fb msg ahead to make a reservation for a table & ask for a parking space too or face parking 6mins away.

Upon entering TNTS Boodle Fight and Seafood Restaurant, you'll be greeted by the friendly staff and seated at a large communal table. The restaurant's boodle fight experience involves a meal served on a long banana leaf-lined table, where guests are encouraged to eat with their hands and share dishes with each other. It's a fun and interactive dining experience that's perfect for groups of friends and families. TNTS Boodle Fight and Seafood Restaurant's menu features a wide variety of dishes, including grilled and fried seafood, pork, chicken, and vegetables. The restaurant's seafood dishes are particularly popular, as they're sourced fresh from the nearby ocean. Customers have praised TNTS Boodle Fight and Seafood Restaurant for its delicious food, friendly staff, and unique dining experience. It's a great spot for anyone looking to try traditional Filipino cuisine and have a fun and memorable dining experience. If you do get a chance to visit TNTS Boodle Fight and Seafood Restaurant, I hope you enjoy the delicious food and unique dining experience!

Food was good and affordable 👍 the place was a little bit small still nice though

We had such a great time at this restaurant! The food is amazing and the portions are insanely big! We are from Canada and this was a really great experience with all beyond polite staff and great tasting food! We especially liked the pork skewers we got! And the cheesecake at the end was a cherry on top of a great night! If you want the true experience definitely order one of the platters. Even if you're just 2 people you can get them - as long as you like seafood!!

Best to come with a group of people and have the boodle fight. Be comfortable eating communally and with your hands. Though Filipino food isn’t my favourite, this place is an experience and I can imagine that the atmosphere if you come when it’s busy is a lot of fun.

Value for money and the food was really tasteful. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place that the locals eat it. Restrooms arent clean. This is not a luxurious place so manage expectations.

By far the BEST boodle fight restaurant in Tagbilaran/Panglao. Their food is tasty & fresh. They also serve pink rice for the health conscious. Price starts at 1500pesos-ish, depends on the boodle you choose from seafood to vegies, they have it. They serve separate dishes too. Call to make a reservation for table & parking space.

Quick stop at Baclayon Church - still amazed me I’m always amazed by the history and cultural importance of Baclayon Church. It’s one of those places that really makes you think how far back our history goes. There’s no big change since the last time I visited and that was 18 years ago! I remember hearing that the bell tower collapsed during the 2013 earthquake, but thankfully it has now been restored. I didn’t get to go inside this time as it was closed, but still happy to stop by even for a few minutes. The church, built in 1727, is one of the oldest in the country and you can really feel that when you’re there. Short visit, but always worth a look if you’re nearby.

Baclayon Church is a beautiful and historic landmark that’s perfect for a quick cultural stop. Its preserved Spanish-era architecture and peaceful atmosphere make it a meaningful place to pause, reflect, and snap a few photos. While it’s not a long-stay destination, it’s definitely worth visiting to appreciate a piece of Bohol’s rich heritage.

We made our usual quick stop at Baclayon Church, known as the oldest church in Bohol. The structure is rich with history and character, and every visit feels like stepping back in time. As someone who loves old and historical places, I’m always amazed by its charm and significance.

I am amazed when i got in on the church. the murals on the ceiling are eye catching and will stop to admire.

It’s old, grand, and full of history — definitely a meaningful visit. But once you’ve lit a candle and taken your pics, that’s about it. Once is enough unless you're into historic churches!

I am very blessed to have an opportunity to visit this church, to pray, praise, give thanks to our Lord God🙏

The church is well preserved, there's a museum here where you can learn more about the church's history. The main door of church is closed if they don't have a mass, and you can only access it through their museum where you need to pay for the ticket. If you have a student id, you can have a discount.

Just the usual old church in the Philippines and its fascinating that they have repaired it almost from its original form. They a museum inside and you need to wear proper clothing for the girls

Ancient churches, exquisite murals,Pious and liberated, God bao you

Nice to visit, neatly arranged artifacts from centuries ago. Entrance fee is P150 pesos

Need to have a look because you are already here. You know that.

I wasn’t expecting Baclayon Church and the Baclayon Art Museum to be this beautiful! The architecture and the atmosphere are truly stunning, and you can really feel the depth of history in every corner. Its historical importance is something that deserves great respect. Definitely a must-visit for anyone exploring Bohol. ⛪✨

The museum is informative about the rich culture of Bohol, particularly Baclayon.

So far still the same the church is closed

Surprisingly well structured museum, fully air-conditioned and even has an elevator. The museum pieces, albeit small in number, are interesting nonetheless. Free admission and friendly/knowledgeable staff. Worth a 30 minute visit!

Since I started travelling, really like to visit museums/provisions that displays anything pervaded the city. One is to know the history though I don't really read all of the artifacts but just seeing them in one depository makes my visit complete. Two is to feel connected and see what are the things to expect aside from just seeing the views. Three is to take some photos for keepsake. It was a great experience. It's just free. A must visit especially for students. Museums are very informative. ALSO, for tourist, if you are planning to buy ASIN-TIBUOK and you want to visit here, they are being sold at the entrance (front desk) and it was sold by SRP as they are direct from the maker.

A Cultural Gem in Bohol This well-maintained museum offers a compelling glimpse into Bohol’s rich history and heritage. One of the highlights is the detailed biography of Carlos P. Garcia, the 8th President of the Philippines and a proud Boholano. His legacy is thoughtfully preserved in this museum. 🌋 Exhibits Worth Exploring Visitors can also learn about the fascinating geological formation of the Chocolate Hills, along with other exhibits that showcase Bohol’s natural wonders, cultural traditions, and historical milestones. The museum provides a well-rounded experience for history buffs, curious travelers, and proud locals alike. 🎟️ Good to Know • Location: Tagbilaran City, Bohol • Entrance Fee: Free of charge • Ideal For: Families, students, solo travelers, and anyone interested in Philippine history and Boholano pride 📌 If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a visit—not just for the exhibits, but for the sense of place and identity it celebrates.

A nice place to visit when you are in Tagbilaran City, spacious for its size and is full of artifacts that are related to the province of Bohol. Very clean and the staff are very accommodating, a must-visit if you can go.

The structure of the building is amazing. Packed and filled with informative history and culture of Bohol and friendly staff. Captured the entirety and highlights of Bohol.

Title: A good museum you can spend easily 1h here. Interesting information about Bohol. A part is about the ex President of Philippines that born in Bohol and another part is about an artist, the Island and the churches + No entry fee + Air conditioned + Clean and safe + Near another attraction the Church you can visit both - Difficult to find a parking place - Mostly havy traffic because the Museum is on the main street ************************** Explanation of my votings + Pro - Contra o Only for your information 5 Stars: It was really special, you must try it 4 Stars: It was nice, you should try it 3 Stars: Nothing special, you could try it 2 Stars: Try only if you have no alternative 1 Stars: Bad, don't bother trying ->>> To understand... Why do I give 5 stars so rarely? Out of over 360 ratings, I realised that there are no businesses that are 100% perfect. I rate businesses in relation to an area, such as a city and the surrounding area. Most businesses in an area sell similar products of different qualities, and I rate these products up to a maximum of 4 stars. Therefore, I decided to give 5 stars if a business in this region has a unique selling point. This could be a unique product, an awesome view, or cosy surroundings that set them apart from other businesses in the area. Even if their products are not perfect, I can still give a five-star rating if there is something special about them. ->>>

Worth a visit! The National Museum Bohol is small but packed with information and fascinating artifacts. It made me appreciate just how rich Bohol’s history and culture are.

The service was terrible. We waited almost 2 hours for our food, even though we ordered first. Five other tables got their food before us. When our pizza was finally ready, they gave it to another table by mistake, and we had to wait another hour. We followed up five times, but the staff just kept blaming each other. I really love Buzz Restaurant, but I’ll never come back to this branch.

Although the place could use a bit of updating, it’s still a nice place after lunch service to while your time away. The AC was strong, I was able to charge my phone and no one cared I stayed for an hour and a bit more. I’ve always loved their ice cream choices, sikwate and puto were not to my liking.

The place seem to be very small looking outside the entrance but very cozy and spacious inside. It has many tables that can accommodate different group sizes. The food is great. It is very relaxing and staffs are really doing their job. But because of the goodness of the place, expect a lot of people dining during meal hours. The store is open from 7 am to 9 pm.

The restaurant now has a new look and layout, but it keeps its rustic charms and relaxed ambience. It feels a little less spacious though because the space makes room for a larger open area. The food remains great and it has significantly expanded its menu items. The restaurant also sells ice cream in scoops or in tubs, breads, spreads, and organic home products like lip balms, soaps, shampoo and conditioner. This resto remains to be a favorite among locals and tourists.

Nice food, lovely ambience resembling a farm. You also get a good view of the sea and the ferry terminal from here. Spicy beef pasta tasted better than it looks. Drinks are yummy and reasonably priced too.

The second time around but the first time around taking their precious rice meal. The food itself is unquestionable taste and surprisingly wow. The pork meat is just so tender. Perfectly cooked black rice. Fresh is fresh for lumpia. Lemon Grass for drink. Its even quite quick for the serving time. Everthing is almost perfection. #Highly recommended.

If you are a health concious person, well this place suits for you. They served a lot of healthy options from appetizer, main dish and dessert that claimed to be organic and homemade. It is a well-known for its nature-inspired plating of their food that I found really eye-catching especially those with edible flowers that I've never known. And the best I could describe is their ice cream that is way beyond compare. The fruity and milky texture of the ice cream top on a unique cone of cassava would make you ask for more. Overall, it is no wonder why it is called a Bohol's pride cafeteria...

A small, completely deserted beach. You can find a nice spot to swim, but there are many stray dogs in poor condition. Filipinos really need to start treating animals better.

Nothing particularly special about this beach. It is narrow and contains mixture of sand and rocks. However it seems quite popular among locals. It was little bit crowded when we visited on Palm Sunday. In certain area of the beach there was kind of “entertainment” with lots of laughs and loud music.

Going to Bikini Beach might be a bit tricky as it is far from the main road. Some parts are very downhill. The beach is okay when it’s low tide because a bit walk farther, you can sunbathe in peace. Very rocky place but there cottages in the shore. However, if it’s high tide, you have no choice but to stay in the cottages. There are garbages around too. No entrance fees since it’s a public beach. Theres a lady that sells food/drinks in the parking area.

Bikini Beach is no longer its changed to Biking Public Beach... but for those locals here its still Bikini Beach!!!! Best experienced ever... my daughter enjoyed and had fun a lot!!!!! During our vacation, weve been here three times!!!!!! Its her FIRST best trip ever!!!! *Oct 26-Nov 4, 2022*

Lovely White sandy beach.. But sadly no facilities,..few traditional sit in nips.. so you can enjoy some shadow or have a snack if you took some food with you. Would be Nice if someone cleaned up the place every so often..

A beaut beach for unwinding w/out entrance fee, cottages are available for renting daytime/overnight. As it is a well- known beach to the locals, proper waste disposal is being disregarded, whilst to that, it still is a worthy to dipped into.

A good place for a White beach Family Weekend Bond👌 and I soo love the sunset here .. Our Fave beach to chill 👌👍 not like the other beach that get crowded.. You can relax here

This place is absolutely wonderful all around. We decided to spend part of our honeymoon here and would highly recommend it, as it's a beautiful spot. Rooms were clean, the entire staff was great and the restaurant was tasty to boot. The property is the real highlight though, as it's right on a white sand private-ish beach, mostly shaded with a nice pool, multiple gardens, an art gallery and on a small hill overlooking the ocean. It's in a more chill spot on Panglao so it's easy to get to Alona Beach but also far enough away to have your own peace. It doesn't have a resorty feel but still a very nice hotel overall, the perfect mix of culture, authenticity and elegance.

This is perhaps my favorite relaxing resort in Panglao at the moment. I love the Filipino aesthetic on the property. They have a small pool and quiet beach access. The breakfast is also excellent. They also have a library and an art gallery. If you want a quiet resort in Panglao, I highly recommend this one.

We really had a great time there!! And the food is soooo good! Also, there's a swimming pool with a view of coconut tree and the ocean. How Wonderful! The resort is also close to the beach, pretty niiiice!!!

What a beautiful resort! The facilities are well maintained, and decorated with Filipino art. The restaurant is slow but the food is excellent and the presentation is great as well, just be prepared to wait! The staff is all very polite and attentive. The vibe is amazing, even though the resort was at capacity, it didn't feel busy or crowded at all. This is a very chill place to stay and really relax. Not a party place... Get a massage on the beach, soak in some rays while you read a book from their library... Stroll through the onsite art gallery then soak in the pool. Chill & relax.

What a gem this is! It’s a resort but it is not a massive one. The site itself is beautiful with a private beach and more tranquility then you would be able to have in the heavily touristy area. The staff is super attentive, they react very fast and adequate should you need anything. From your room you’ll have a beautiful view. The restaurant was also great. I’m also very grateful that Amarela states they don’t support old men bringing young girls.

We only spent 2 nights and wished we had spent more nights, next time. Highly recommended to anyone that appreciates quality with the rustic feel. Everything from ambiance to service and friendly approach. Not forgetting the cleanliness’s of the entire place.

Fantastic service! I called yesterday about my outlet not working, and they fixed it like pros. The electrician knew exactly what he was doing, called ahead, and arrived right when he said he would. I’m super happy with the results. Highly recommend!

I love it! I'll surely be back! The food was delicious (talk about delicious, perfect). The staffs are very accommodating and very friendly. You'll definitely enjoy a wonderful sea view. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The menu has been changing over the decades, and this time, it was just not the same anymore. Remember when they still served brewed coffee and Bicol Express and Tinomok? But I still love the service.

The service was great and the food we got was really delicious. It’s just a bit unfortunate that some of the food we wanted to try wasn’t available at that time. Hopefully next time there will be more options ready. Still, we had a lovely time, the view was absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to coming back : )

I had such a wonderful experience dining in! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, but what truly made the evening special was the surprise birthday song from the staff. It was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture — completely unexpected and truly appreciated. The team went above and beyond to make the moment memorable, and it added a personal touch that made the celebration even more special. Thank you for the excellent service, warm atmosphere, and for making the birthday celebration one to remember. Highly recommended!

This is one of my favorite Filipino restaurant chains. The food quality has been relatively well maintained through the years. Though there are dishes that are no longer available. The main thing that needs major improvement is their service: 1. The food takes longer time to be served. The waitress mentioned that food will be served in 20 minutes but it was served after 40 minutes. I think this waiting ime is unacceptable. 2. Some dishes were not served and some were served very late. In spite of several follow-ups, they've failed to serve some dishes. There are few dishes which were served very late that we were already about to leave the place. Overall, I still like the food here but their service certainly needs to be corrected.

We recently dined at Gerry’s Grill and had a wonderful experience. The food that we ordered is excellent. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable. While the prices were on the higher side, the quality and experience justified the cost. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special evening out.

Every visit to Gerry’s Grill in BQ Mall feels like a warm trip down memory lane. The food brings a comforting sense of nostalgia, the kind that reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking. It's clear that dishes are prepared with the kind of love and familiarity that makes each bite feel like home. One dish I can never skip is their Beef Kare-Kare. It's my absolute favorite and something I order every single time. The sauce is rich and flavorful, the meat is tender especially the “tuwalya”, and the blend of flavors is simply spot on just like how my lola used to make it. What makes the experience even better is the excellent service. The staff are well-trained and consistently warm and welcoming. A special shoutout to Lito, who often takes care of us when we dine. He’s incredibly attentive, polite, and always seems to know what we need even before we ask whether it's a toothpick or an extra napkin. The rest of the team shares the same hospitable vibe, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for hearty Filipino food served with genuine hospitality, Gerry’s Grill at BQ Mall is definitely worth the visit.

I had to visit here because of nostalgia. Ive known this place since I was young and I had lots of fond memories. The place and atmosphere has greatly improved. I love the ambiance as I absolutely love roosters and chicken. The food was great as always. My all time favourite is the chicken bbq paired with the fish sauce. I wish they still had the side atchara (they used to have it years back). Halo halo was great and I wish it was server on a green coconut shell as that was my all time fave and my standard for halo halo due to Payag had set the standard for me that halo halo for me can only be served in a buko shell. So many great memories. Thank you Payag

This is a very unique restaurant. The largest collection of chicken figurines, plates, pictures, and sculptures. And don’t forget to “egg” lights on the ceiling. And the wood trim and display cabinets are very artistic. While you are there, enjoy the food as well.

Payag Restaurant, a Boholano landmark, has been satisfying hungry diners for decades. Its main branch, located in the heart of Tagbilaran City, offers a taste of authentic Boholano cuisine in a casual and inviting setting. Chicken Inasal: The star of the show! Tender, marinated chicken grilled to perfection, served with a side of vinegar and chili dipping sauce. Payag Restaurant is a great option for anyone looking to experience delicious Boholano cuisine. With its extensive menu, casual atmosphere, and friendly service, it's no wonder that it has been a local favorite for so many years. I highly recommend Payag Restaurant to anyone visiting Bohol. It's a great place to try authentic Boholano food at a reasonable price.

One of the few original restaurants in the province that are opened way back in the day and are still standing—which is good. The age is showing within its interiors though, and the whole place is not as regularly crowded as before with competition sprouting everywhere. The familiarity of the place makes it comfortable, but it could definitely use a few improvements—from the paint on the walls, lighting, rest room fixtures, to overall aesthetics. It still uses plastic straws for its cold beverages. Food is fine and affordable, if you are simply looking for something that fills your appetite. We particularly loved the Sizzling Gambas and Crispy Crablets. Their Chicken Chicharon and Chicharon Bulaklak needed to be crispier because our order were slightly on the chewier side. Orders could take a long while to be served. There is no free WiFi here as well.

Went here at around 5:30 PM. The place is still empty. Great ambiance and you can see the owner's obsession with chicken. Anyway, we got their grilled chicken super combo, sinigang, chicken easol and salad. Everything was just okay. The grilled chicken however, is really good.

Discovered this place accidentally on our first day in Panglao. Good food nice place. The interior was very cosy full of chicken 🍗🐓🐔 but so refreshing taking you back to old times. Very happy to get lost and find such gem.

I enjoyed the BBQ and vegetable dishes. The people in the main branch where we ate were very nice and helpful. The place was clean and well-maintained. Location is quite central to other shopping points.

Our first time here and I’m glad we found this place on Google! The onion soup was to die for, the steak was huge and definitely decent, and the beef stroganoff was authentically done. Food takes a while to come but honestly not a problem because the staff is so nice. They also give free apps (bread and spread) which was yummy too. Will be back to try the other stuff on the menu!!

Wow! That was quite unexpected. Absolutely amazing food. That were easy the best steaks we have had in Philippines. Maybe with exception of that Wagyu steak place in Manila, but that was on a different price level (like4x). Living in Korea and traveling frequently to Japan, I have some idea about good piece of meat. Well done guys! Also, the Burger my son ordered was quite nice and the salmon my wife had was really tasty too. Finally a place we can fully recommend here.

We visited Steak Garden on our first day in Bohol and were pleasantly surprised. The beef meal we ordered was delicious and cooked just right. Prices are very reasonable, and the place has a relaxed, cool atmosphere that makes dining enjoyable. A great spot in Panglao if you’re craving a good steak—definitely worth checking out!

On my last visit to Panglao Island, I stopped in to visit the Bohol Pool store and found out the owner also has this great, highly reviewed restaurant right next door...so, being hungry, I thought I would give it a try and I was not disappointed...the food was great and the atmosphere was an authentic slice from a real Texas Styled Steakhouse! They have absolutely awesome choices of beef from Australia and Angus beef from the U.S. but I wanted to try the Ostrich Filet, supposedly a healthier option to beef. I was truly amazed. Ostrich is a very large bird from Africa, but this filet did not appear to be like bird meat, (chicken, duck or turkey), it looked like beef, cut like beef and had similar taste and texture to beef! I was amazed and truly enjoyed my dining experience at Steak Garden...I will be back again!

Very interesting place with awesome food. We had salad and steak. Salad was very tasty and the steak was done perfectly. And we return for more menu items. The chili oyster sauce is wonderful 😁 Need to update as we return many times. Most memorable is the French Onion Soup. Best I have had ANYWHERE!

All the staff was nice👍🏻 Especially our female server never stop the smile, and greeting us with kindness. After order, it took some time, but the food taste didn’t disappointing me. Steak was perfect balance with fat and lean meat. I’m willing to visit again this great resto🥩

The steak we had at the Steak Garden in Vauxhall, Philippines, was excellent overall. The meat was well aged and baked, and the flavor was deep, so I was satisfied. The sauce and the side dishes went well together, but the side dishes felt a bit normal. It was a great experience for the price and the atmosphere.

Salads and starters were good, portions are huge. Main dish - don’t know which part of chicken was that, but chicken with baked potatoe I didn’t like. ravioli with ricotta and spinach very delicious. Tiramisu was also yummy. Prices are too high for the food quality and service you get. Very limited option for non alcoholic beverages. The restaurant and the territory are big, it looks like a really proper restaurant, yet they don’t accept cards. We enjoyed the food overall, but I wouldn’t go there again.

We requested a thin crust brick oven pizza. Didn’t come thin at all. The ham in the Hawaiian was chunky and hard . The mozzarella on the salad was tasteless.

Pizza was good here, slightly more expensive meal than other local options but quality was good and price expected due to them needing to import ingredients. Would recommend if you’re in Bohol and fancy Italian.

An attempt was made at Italian food. The pizza is wood fired which was a solid plus. The sauce for the pizza had very little taste. The Parma ham was excellent but sparse. The sausage was cheap hotdogs, and haphazardly thrown on the pizza. Check the picture. The lamb ragu was sweet, tasted like they used evaporated milk. The seafood pasta was amazing, good job. Service was like anywhere else in the Philippines, it’s your job to get their attention. It’s expensive prices for sub par Italian food and sub par service. First and last time for me.

Very pleasant lunch. We chose to be seated at the open area, viewing a garden setting with soft music in the background. The food was very good. Especially the lamb shank. The tiramisu was not really tiramisu, but it was tasty. It’s a little pricey and they don’t accept credit card.

I had very high expectations for Sicily but left disappointed. It is a large property in a romantic garden with several private dining areas. The table setup was carelessly done, some chairs had no napkins, others had no silverware. Our table ordered four pizzas at the same time, three of them were fantasias. The first pizza came out within 15 minutes, the last one took almost an hour to bring to our table. All three fantasias were different, one didn't have olives, another was missing bell peppers, and the last pizza included hot sauce (would have been nice to have on the other pizzas too.) The salad was good but expensive and not big enough to share. However, the service was very polite.

The food was pretty mid. The pasta was cooked unevenly with some strands that are still raw. The sauce of the pasta was clearly microwaved as the pieces of lamb were cold in the center and you could tell that it wasn’t fresh anymore. Their pizza was good. It was bigger than expected, it’s good for 3-4 people. The place had a lot of flies also which ruined the vibe of the meal as we had to keep swatting them away. The meal was quite expensive as well. Service was quite mid as well as the staff was not very attentive to our needs.

The owner/(mean)manager of the resort better prohibited the guests/tourist bring their food wraps plastic bottles into the sea from cliff stairs. Few of guests are unresponsively throw trash into to sea. Visitors are not going there for your fruad service (they charge 100 peso for per jump for dive platform), expensive ticket and marine fee. No recommend to come here anymore.

As a freediver, I fully understand the need to pay the environmental fee. However, we were informed that each member of our group is required to pay a mandatory guide fee of 150 pesos, even though we are experienced freedivers, and the diving time is limited to just 45 minutes. If you plan to freedive or scuba dive at Napaling, I recommend heading to Domingo Café instead. There, you only need to pay the entrance and environmental fees, and you can dive for as long as you like.

Beautiful nature but the resort/guide was really bad. Rented snorkling gear that didnt work and didnt see my guide at all beside from when he tried to sell me overprised squba diving.

This is just a tourist trap now. Someone is going to charge you for everything. The sign out front says 100 pesos for environmental fee each, then you have to pay 100 pesos for a guide per person (even though it's only one guide per group and no way to avoid having a guide, even if you are a strong swimmer and understand marine conservation and not to touch corals). We assumed this was all the costs but no! They then catch you out and make you pay 100 pesos entry fee each to access to the water which is not shown anywhere. If you need to hire snorkelling equipment, that will cost you on top as well. The woman behind the counter at Molave Cliff Diving Resort was extremely unfriendly and rude when we asked why we have to pay the 100 pesos entry fee, what is it for? It is not clear at all! They will take all you are worth if they could. Feels like a big scam that ruins the experience. You are limited to 45-1 hour snorkelling time. And there are tonnes of people penned into a small area, prepare to be kicked in the face and hit by a lot of tourists that can't swim. That said the snorkelling is good by the drop off and lots of shoals of sardines but nothing spectacular and unusual. It is hard to not feel resentful about the experience as a whole. Where is all this money going?

Though shabby, it's a place where you can see sardine run in Panglao, so it's still worth visiting. You'll have to pay PHP 30 per person for the entrance fee, and you can rent a snorkels mask in PHP 150 if you don't have one.

A pretty great place to go which has a high jump in the sea, that's cool!!! People here're very enthusiastic and kind, it's a place where the free travelers can go to!

You can not jump off the cliff anymore. They said its because coral has grown underneath. It used to be 150 pesos for entrance and environmental fee. It jumped up to 300 pesos per person for entrance. They say that you have to pay a guide fee. Plus all the costs for vests and snorkel. It's not really worth it when every beach is free. Just a money grab from the tourists... I don't recommend it.

We had an amazing time exploring Bohol. Thank you Eric for the educational and informative tour of the Panglao Island and the Countryside. My family had so much fun and excitement. We had the best tour guide ever. I would highly recommend Wow Bohol Tours.

Special thanks to our driver/guide kuya June! He took great care of us and made sure we had a very enjoyable experience. He was able to tell us many things about the history and culture of Bohol. He got us everywhere on time while still giving a comfortable driving experience. His English is good and you won’t get bored during your travels with him. The tour activities themselves were also great. We went to the Bohol adventure park to do the bicycle zipline, surf zipline and climbing activities. We also went on the ATV tour, which was also great fun. It’s good to bring some spare clothes because you might be a bit dirty afterwards. The tarsier sanctuary, butterfly garden and chuch were nice quiet activities after the active adventures of the morning. The rivercruise lunch was also very nice and relaxing. Overall we had a great time!

We had a great day with WBT! The whole trip is well organised. Our driver June was friendly and professional, he told us a lot of interesting information about Bohol.

We did two separate tours with them, the countryside and island hopping tour. Can't say a bad thing. They were extremely prompt when responding. Everything was well organized and on time, plus we really enjoyed all the activities. Edmund was a great guide/driver and we saw things for the first time e.g. the Tarsier and, even dolphins and green sea turtles on the island tour. It was great!

We had an exceptional service with WBT. We were picked up from the airport and our Countryside day tour was underway. Highlights were the Chocolate Hills, River cruise lunch and seeing Bohols Wildlife. A special thanks to Bebe for his hospitality throughout the day.

We had a great time in our countryside tour and Jun were very good in giving us information on places we went. Overall it was all worth it. Thanks wow Bohol tours for fast and quick response to our request for this tour. Definitely will recommend you to our friends who are interested to come and see Bohol.

We are a group with four. Thanks our guide Berna and our driver Dodong(They use a new and clean van to transport us and this is the newest one I've seen in Cebu.) giving us an unforgettable memory! I booked "private countryside tour with DOT guide(Package 2)", so that I don't have to choose from those tour agency and tour seller on Alona beach or the pier and bargain with them. We changed our plan the day before the tour and even on the day, but our guide still make sure that we get to the Tagbilaran pier on time, our guide Berna can show you some alternative options if you delay the schedule. After all, that is the advantage of having a private tour! Of course, it is better if one can have all the fun and still stick to the plan at the same time. But it is all depend on you! Hinagdanan Cave, Tarsier Viewing and Chocolate Hills Adventure Park(We tried ATV and Bike zipline) are great! Although we skip the ruins and buffet lunch on Loboc River but we think it still worth it, we spent more time at places we wish to stay! 我們一行人有四個人，我們很感謝我們的導遊Berna和我們的司機大哥Dodong給我們如此難忘的回憶(他們用一台廂型車載我們，因為我們是訂私人行程"private countryside tour with DOT guide"，而這台廂型車是我們在宿霧看過最新的廂型車)。事先訂好行程的優勢就在於不需要到了薄荷島才決定、殺價(Alona beach跟港口上有很多人在推銷行程)。我們在出發前一天還有當天又稍微變更了我們的行程，而我們的導遊非常盡責地幫我們安排、讓我們選擇想去哪裡，最後讓我們準時到了港口。畢竟，這就是私人小團的優勢！我們最後去了Hinagdanan Cave(鐘乳石洞)、Tarsier Viewing(眼鏡猴)和Chocolate Hills Adventure Park(ATV和Bike zipline以及在園區享用自助餐)，每個點我們都很滿意(雖然跳過了遺跡跟Loboc River上的Buffet Lunch但我們覺得非常值得)！

A place to remember 💯💫

Nice

A nice little white sand beach. Fishing boats are docked there, so it's part of the view plane. There's a private beach next door that is guarded. But you can come here for a nice sunset or sunrise.

Nice white sand, quite a few boats... And lots of rubbish on the beach. Bring a garbage bag for collection if you can! Nice relaxing beach though, not too crowded. There aren't many options for refreshments there but Natura Vista just a little up the lane from the beach is an accommodation provider (looks like a cute and kind of quirky place to stay) and they have a good restaurant that includes several yummy vegetarian dishes.

Beautiful little beach area with only a few locals. Good place to swim and take pics. Palm trees provide shade in the afternoon.

The view is beautiful, but the trash everywhere is disgusting. Please someone of the government cleans it, it makes a terrible impression for tourists and locals of such an otherwise great place. I hoped it looking much better honestly.

It’s full of rubbish and plastic unfortunately, not a pretty sight and a waste of a trip

Good for swimming at high tide

The place is good and excellent people who are hospitable.

A quiet beach. Not too many people, mostly locals. But be aware of the sea urchins. Not recommended to step on. Use some kind of shoes.

Many crabs hiding in the sands, left hand of the beach is most beautiful part! but is not allow to walk through, because Mithi Resort said it’s private property??

The locals should maintain the cleanliness of this beach. Sadly, many rubbish can be seen n the shore.

The most beautiful beach I've seen. It has lovely shacks where you can just come with your family and chill. Enough seats for 15 people. The beavc is extremely salty and with the low tide it subsides drastically but it's a beauty and a must visit. They also have restaurants that give superb lechon on the beach! It's clean and secluded for most parts. The trees are beautiful and it's perfect to come with your little kids for some peace and quiet. It also has a good showers and changing rooms. It's perfect for large gatherings. I had gone with 450 people and it had enough space for all!

I've been experience this beautiful kind of quality nature, described as it best the beach, sands with their maintainance, i can't say in speaking of cleanliness, still other people, because they enjoy their job. Rooms in affordable price, foods order and it will be deliver into your room, i like this place as one of my plans to going back. but first budget plan ahead and calculate limit for some spending, whether riding in tricycle and some sort of walking or what is the most direct route to get there that's enough, taking a break at place of secular work it is joyful and we're happy..

It’s a small place, no entrance fee just donation. As you can see on the photos, some people are cleaning seaside old seaweeds and garbage. Thumbs to their community for keeping it clean.

Please clean the beach! Too many plastic and glass and other trash. It’s a beautiful beach but all this trash make it disgusting…

Common Crew Panglao Bohol has amazing coffee and delicious food. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Highly recommend for a great coffee and dining experience!

Went back two times during our stay in Panglao because it’s so goooooooood! Asin tibuok + cheese is definitely a hit! All their coffee hits all the right nodes, my cousins enjoyed their Chocnut latte and their Bohol Dark Chocolate! Their Kombucha is so good too especially the mango! Their brownie is the best though ❤️❤️❤️ Common Crew never misses ❤️🙏

For me, the best cafe around Panglao. The ambiance is very cozy and peaceful. Ordered their vanilla latte and it was perfect with an affordable price. Also bought their canvass bag haha. Will definitely recommend and be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) The place is really chill and definitely Instagram-worthy. Perfect spot if you’re after the ambiance. However, the coffee is just average—nothing particularly special or memorable. It feels like there’s something missing, and it could definitely be improved to match the vibe of the place.

The best coffee I’ve had in Panglao! The iced long black is smooth and well-balances, with blackberry taste and cocoa finish. I can feel that they truly focus on making great coffee. Highly recommended! There is also a nice coworking area with reliable wifi, perfectly for creators or remote workers. You can simply buy a pass if needed.

Went here to work and the working place is really nice. We availed the working space plus coffee and it was really worth it. The wifi is good for working. Coffee is good too. Nice place

Great coffee spot in Panglao! They serve high-quality coffee using single origins and proudly support local Filipino farms. I tried their signature drink, Asin Tibuok with cheese — not really a coffee, but definitely a must try since Asin Tibuok is a unique local product. The staff and baristas were excellent with roastery nearby. My only wish is that the place had air-conditioning.

Wow, we've been surprised from each dish we've tryed in this amazing place! They were so tasty, delicious and colorful! I've really appreciated that there is a restaurant like this in which someone like me, that try not to eat meat, could easily try texture, flavour and taste of Filipino cuisine! I suggest you to go there to try one of their proposals!

Great place if you’re looking for healthy, nutritious and tasty vegan food around Panglao. After my first visit, I came back twice and always left excited for my next time. Make sure to try their outstanding Tofu Bulgogi with Kimchi and their (no)Meatball Spaghetti! Their café is lovely too, their matcha is perfectly balanced and well prepared, as well as their delicious banana bread. Two things to note: the prices are slightly higher than shown on the menu pictures on Google and you should be ok with dogs hanging out at the café. They‘re all well behaved, well looked after and absolutely adorable 🫶

The best open-air restaurant I have ever been to in Panglao in terms of atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the coffee is excellent. What really makes this place special is the owner, a kind-hearted dog lover who cares deeply for the adorable, clean little dogs that roam freely around the space. It adds a heartwarming touch and makes the whole experience feel even more welcoming.

Vegans and foodies will rejoice in this little vegan gem! The food is delicious, the portions generous, and the service friendly and swift. I had the dumplings and the 'chicken' sisig, and both absolutely hit the spot. Their coffee is also on point - with oat and coconut milk available - and the rescue/shelter cats and dogs just add to the atmosphere and motivation for supporting the café. I only wish that I'd visited the café earlier during my stay in Panglao!

Wow!! What can I say, the food at the vegan shack was incredibly good. In fact so good that we came everyday in our three days of Bohol. I love that it’s a representation of the Philippines food culture, it incorporates natural and local ingredients. The wrap, burger, dumplings and the other dishes were all sooooo good. We almost tasted everything of the the menu and each time were blow away. Plus the owner does his work with so much passion and love, he’s also just a cool guy to talk with. Definitely will come back here!! See you soon 🤩😍

Great if you have a LOT of time to wait. The way Over priced coffee and small size is outrageous. The $3.00 soggy & extra small fries took 22 minutes? Why did it take so long ?🤔

Food is good here. I loved their vegan burrito and dumplings. Laing was best seller but somehow we didn’t like it. May be depends on people’s taste. No complain on food or service. It was really good. I loved it. We just had a problem with the dogs they have pet in this place. They were barking the whole time. It was sooo noisy and disturbing. We didn’t have a peaceful dinner because of that. Just had to quickly finish everything and leave. Just a suggestion please keep those dogs inside somewhere, not in the business area, where people are having some special time.

Nice place to unwind. You can have a breath of fresh air. Perfect to beat the summer heat since the place has lot of big trees which adds more air. You can also do physical exercises here. There is also a playground for kids However, the cemented chairs could be improved. And if u ride a tricycle to go back to bq mall or cathedral, tricycle drivers would asks high price. Thats the problem of tagbilaran.

Nice place to have a picnic though I wish their bathroom is well-maintained.

A great place to unwind. It has wide open spaces and foot paths. The trees provide shade so, it would be a good place to walk anytime of the day.

Another great place to escape to with the kids, now that they are restricted from entering the malls. Commune with nature here

Pleasant park with a lot of shade.

Trees are everywhere which gives a refreshing air. But, dry/dead leaves are everywhere but it still beautiful though.

Nice new Provincial Building :) Behold Bohol

A good place to make one's devotions. Ample parking area.

Nice ambiance, plus spacious parking area.

Regular Sunday mass every 7 am and 5 pm

Love the place

👍

Love it

This is my first time to experience Chicken Ati-Atihan restaurant and I enjoyed it. We were 18 in our group and we had lots of fun. The place is spacious to accomodate big party groups or smaller groups and solo eaters. The staff were great. Even if there were many big groups as well as small groups, they were still able to provide good and efficient service to all. The food tastes great. Chicken inasal was cooked just right. Still juicy in the inside but crunchy on the skin side. The lechon kawali was also great. Crunchy and tasty. The kilawin, pancit guisado and fish fingers were great tasting as well. All in all, it was a great first experience. Will definitely be back to try other food in the menu.

The chicken is tasty, great marinade and juicy inside. Maybe I was expecting more like a papaya salad or vibey atmosphere but these were lacking. It's a good place to get chicken but nothing special. The chicken oil is spicy and yummy. The wait staff were a bit preoccupied with their own conversations so it was difficult to get service.

Their squid is damn good, big, fresh, no overcook and everything just perfect. Chicken also yummy but rice portion abit small and their mango shake taste abit durian favor dont know why, not so rich in mango favor. Another stall got sell bubble tea in many selection and taste better. Staff just chichat not really care about customer, we hv a lunch there, vibe hot and hv a lot of flies really spoil my mood, end up i found out got many small fan put on counter table, we request then they give however we just sit in front of their counter their staff just ignore n keep talking to each other make us hv a bad image. But their food is just perfect!

Pochero – ₱480 (Good for 2–3 persons) The soup is undeniably delicious, but the serving is quite small — I can literally finish the whole bowl by myself. Sisig – ₱310 (Good for 2–3 persons) The serving size is decent, but the taste reminds me more of humba. Not sure if that’s the local style of sisig here in Bohol.

This spot might be one of the best local finds near the port. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, perfect for relaxing after a day of travel. The staff were quick, polite, and clearly take pride in their work. Prices were more than fair, and the food came out fast and fresh. If you’re looking for a hearty meal and genuine local hospitality in Tagbiliran, Chicken Ati-Atihan is an easy choice.

Order a pork sasig that didn't tasted anything! Had to add chilli 🌶️ sauce, cold rice. Expensive for very basic tasteless food. Staff have an attitude and should be more polite.

Food is so so. Ambience a bit awkward since there are a few staff who looked disrepecting to us when we arrive. You can also hear them softly whispering while looking at you. Order was not complete. I dont know if the waiter was deaf. Only good thing here was the ambiance but the people made it not good as well. Lol.

They have lot of stuff but everyone are all lazy to accommodate our needs. Their meats are bad also. It tastes awfully bad. We didn’t even cooked it all. Not gonna come back and wont recommend this place.

Quality of meat is great. Waiters are lazy as usual. No plate is placed until asked. Ordered drinks not served until asked again. They basically just stand and stare which is a common scene here tbh. Better buy meat here and take home.

I've been here more than twice already, but the staff attitudes never changed. They don't initiate service, and it shows on their faces that they don't want to serve.

I loved my experience here. First we reserved a table and good thing coz by the time we arrived, the tables were occupied. We choose unlimited samgyeop that we can choose either beef or pork! Best to come here is when you are hungry. 😁🤣 The staff is fast on their service. The place is clean also... GOOD JOB! 🥰

Ordered the unli pork samgyupsal for 363 PHP. Pork meat quality is disappointing. There is too much fat on the pork that I have to extract it before eating (photo attached). The skin part of the pork is chewy. You need to ask separately for different sauces, they don't give it first hand. Only few side dishes are included. Cleanliness of the place can be improved. Might not come back and choose other samgyupasal restaurants instead. On the other hand, service crew are approachable. Ambiance is comfortable. Other dishes might be good options but I haven't tried yet.

I always get the Shabu-shabu because they have the best cuts of meat... Super fresh and extra healthy. Their staff is super attentive and will even cook for you if you go with the KBBQ.

Awesome Korean Restaurant, conveniently located inside the Lite Port Center on the second floor. If you are craving authentic Korean cuisine prepared tableside on Korean styled grills, then you are in luck because this place will fulfill your desires for a taste of Korea, especially the Bulgogi!

took 40 mins by tricycle from alona beach the mall has total three floors and a huge supermarket is on the basement floor not much things to shop but it's still the best you can find in bohol

The only big mall in Tagbilaran City. The place is usually crowded. The grocery line is very, very long, whether it’s a weekend or a weekday. Some of the stores here close at 8 PM, and the mall closes at 9 PM. They have plenty of fast food outlets and restaurants. You can get here via tricycle.

✓The cashier's area is well placed and guarantees you fast transaction. ✓Accepts credit card and debit card. ✓The staffs are well uniformed which is a great help when you needed help. ✓May be pricy for others but the quality of it's products are only proportional to its price. ✓They have their staffs that will help you carry your baggages. ✓Has food stalls, neat rest room. ✓Well arranged sections for easy buying.

I believe this is the biggest mall in Bohol. It was my first time to get here and it has a lot of stores/shops to look at. I like the shop at the GF which sells local delicacies I just forgot the name. I got good coffee too at OTG Coffee on the second floor. Got a customized luggage card on the same floor.

the best jolibee ...very accomodating stop my son will like it to it when i go to to icm he always eating jolibee icm

If you are looking for food, then great, because the mall is 70% restaurants and supermarket. If you are looking for clothing, there's mainly one department store and a couple other shops (if you are a bigger girl, don't even bother). There's also some electronic stores but they are not well stocked.

About 20-30 mins from the airport. Perfect if you need a place to kill time before your flight. Has a shop (travel access point near lbc) where you can leave your luggage just beside the mall. Has a cinema, lots of different shops, restaurants, spa, Wellness :-)

We like to eat here, well worth it especially for larger groups. I like their crispy pata. For the scallops — I like the pan fried better, the baked ones were too fatty for me. Lots of dishes to opt from, lots of choices for seafood. Eaten here several times, and every time, we were satisfied and full. Priced reasonably in my opinion. The restaurant itself is actually nicely decorated. Since the place is popular among large groups, the atmosphere can be so loud especially on rush hours. Service is praiseworthy, especially on those busy times. Haveńt tried their buffet.

It was a lovely experience and the food is also good more so because the staff are accomodating and friendly. I was there to celebrate my friend's birthday and they made it worth the while on top of the food 🥰❤. Its a MUST VISIT! Although don't go there when you're really really hungry because the waiting time of the food is a bit long especially when your famished. Do go though if your fine with a waiting time of 20-30 minutes.

Despite its name, The Prawn Farm within Island City Mall offers a cool, casual atmosphere perfect for various dining experiences. Their delicious and fresh seafood takes center stage, with well-portioned dishes at reasonable prices. Whether you crave a solo meal, a romantic dinner, or a group gathering, The Prawn Farm's tasty food and comfortable vibe make it a must-try.

We went for the all you can eat buffet. It is 500 peso per person. The food selection is good, they have prawns, kinilaw (raw marinated fish like ceviche), fried chicken, savory pork, roast veg. There is a soup, rice of course, fries, some salad ingredients and cake and fruit. The pork was very tasty. I found a few bones in the kinilaw but it was delicious. My biggest disappointment was that the prawns were not cleaned, still had poop shoot inside. I was looking forward to prawns as it's in the name. It takes very little time to devein a prawn. They do take cards for payment. You can see the whole experience on our YouTube video of Island central mall on Bryandiscoversworld.

Super worth the price. Coming from a person with health issue. No worries of food choice. They serve healthy foods. We had a buffet for lunch. Super love it! I forgot I'm on diet. I love how fast they accomodate costumers. They had a clean and good smelling toilet. hahaha My pictures we're taken so quick coz you know I gotta eat. I don't want to disturb people getting their food from the buffet also. Everything is delicious!

It is now relocated to the far end of the mall (just a few steps away from Bo's Coffee and Buzzz Café) and is now refurbished to look more like an upscale, fine-dining restaurant. Since it is newly opened, the place looks clean and spacious, the furniture and decors well-put. The menu hasn't changed (even the literal printed menu looks the same, which means it is old and tattered; management should at least create new printed menus) but the taste of the food has significantly improved. It doesn't reach its full gastronomic potential yet, but it is going there. It got minus points for its burnt, overcooked scallops and sad, dull-looking desserts. But at least the waiters this time are quick and act professionally (unlike before when we had a really horrible experience), the place offers WiFi connectivity and has toilet rooms on both of its levels, and the buffet remains affordable.

One of our fave place to dine-in at ICM (Island City Mall, Tagbilaran City, Bohol). We usually avail their "Make Your Own Combo" since it's budget-friendly and worth the price! For only P159.00, you already have a cup of rice, a drink of your choice (iced tea or cucumber), 1 main course, 1 side dish, and a bowl of soup. Complimentary peanuts' also given while waiting for your order. I highly suggest you try their halo-halo 👍 but not their scallops 👎 Wait time will take 30-45 minutes!
