Review: Bagobo beach resort in Panglao Island, Bohol

This post was published in September 2010 and may already be outdated.

The poor Traveler had always wanted to go to Bohol as this very popular vacationer destination is one of the top 3 provinces I’d die to visit. That’s why there was really no word to describe my excitement when I was planning this trip.

Planning was easy. Initially, we wanted to check in at Bohol beach Club but I realized I was the “Poor” Traveler so I had to look for something a lot more budget-friendly. After all, it is in the core principles of this blog that I pursue searching for the least expensive yet worth-it accommodations and travel packages for the benefit of the readers.

Our boatmen waiting for us
After hours of googling and asking my pals who already had been to Bohol, I finally made a decision where to stay — Bagobo beach resort in Panglao Island. setting up it was a piece of cake. We just contacted Bagobo beach resort by means of its owner and manager Tess on Facebook and she sent us the travel plan and the quote a day later. Bagobo beach resort uses not just accommodations but also several excursions that are customizable to fit your travel needs and budget.

There would be 8 of us in the group and that’s a good thing. and we were really shocked by the quote we received from Bagobo — in a good way.

DE PRAIA

DAY 3: kick back DAY (just stay at the resort. but if you wish to go elsewhere, you can set up it with Bagobo, too.)

DAY 4: departure (since our flight was early in the morning)

The motorist picked us up at the Tagbilaran airport. He was very friendly, throwing jokes every once in a while. considering that we were already in Tagbilaran and the resort is in Panglao Island, we started the excursion even before checking in. We actually had laptops with us but the motorist didn’t leave the automobile so they were safe. We never had any problems with security. We didn’t lose anything whatsoever.

I’ll go over the different places we have checked out in separate posts. but that day was sooo long that it was already dark when we arrived at the resort. (Actually, we convinced — a lot more like forced— the motorist to stop at the market for a while so we could get a lot more food and booze. LOL.)

O resort

When we arrived, we were greeted by Tessa. We bought dinner (which was part of the package) and got the keys to our rooms.

This is the part where I have to alert you about expectations. You see, often I get sick of tourists who just keep on complaining about anything. Here’s what you must remember, this is a budget resort. budget being the operative word. Don’t expect 5-star accommodations or swimming pools with an acoustic band singing in the background.

The poor Traveler and his gang weren’t expecting anything like that because if we wanted that, we’d be checking in at Bohol beach Club and let our pockets bleed. Besides, maybe I’m the type of traveler who really doesn’t care about accommodations that much unless there’s a major major blunder. To me, the excursion weighs so much heavier than the room wherein all I would do is sleep. but that’s just me.

Restaurante
Bagobo beach resort was just ideal (and probably better) for the cost. The rooms and the bathrooms were clean, albeit small. Tessa was attentive to our needs although I felt like the resort was under-staffed. The water in the faucet was a bit salty so you must probably bring your own water.

Even the restaurant served good food for P150-P300 per meal. At first we thought it was expensive but when they were served, goodness gracious, really generous servings. like each serving is good to 2-3 people.

A praia

Since we arrived at the resort in the evening, it wasn’t until the next morninG Quando finalmente vimos a praia. Como esperado, era lindo. A melhor coisa sobre isso foi que éramos apenas nós em nossa área. Começamos a andar pela praia e vimos os outros resorts de praia lotados, muito lotados. Foi uma coisa boa que Bagobo estava no extremo da praia, longe de todo o barulho dos outros resorts da região. Na verdade, sentimos que era nosso.

A berma da praia estava cheia de pequenas pedras, seixos e conchas, mas depois de passar por ela, você será recebido pela melhor areia branca perolada que já viu em sua vida. Eles eram muito mais como giz do que areia. Foi realmente bom.

Está tudo bem!
Praia de Bagobo
A praia de skimming de água é muito, muito, muito superficial (sim, 3 realmente), o que é melhor se você tem filhos com você. Já andamos vários metros e o nível da água ainda estava no joelho. Ande mais longe e, finalmente, você pode mergulhar. Algumas partes, no entanto, são remendadas com grama do mar, onde você pode ver várias espécies de peixes se alimentando e nadando ao redor. Você pode snorkel ideal lá.

Se você gosta de mergulhar, o popular Arco Point, onde encontrará uma caverna subaquática que abriga um rico ecossistema de vida selvagem marinha fica a uma curta viagem de barco.

Como eu disse antes, se você está tentando encontrar acomodações de primeira classe, este resort não é para você. No entanto, se você é muito mais parecido com mim, sempre levando em consideração seu orçamento e não é realmente exigente, isso é melhor para você. Quero dizer, vamos lá, de 4 dias, acomodações de 3 noites, além de excursão, além de café da manhã e jantares por apenas P3200 por pessoa !!! Observe que éramos um grupo de 8. Para um viajante pobre como eu, o Bagobo Beach Resort é um verdadeiro paraíso de maneiras muito mais de um. 🙂

Como chegar lá: Voe para Tabilaran City. Entre em contato com Tessa do Bagobo Beach Resort e ela montará sua transferência para o hotel para você. Se você chegar de manhã, também poderá optar por excursão ideal após pousar e fazer check -in à noite para economizar tempo.
