~My Esplashboard ~ Eve ~: Experience A Boracay Like Beach...

Tagbilaran Terminal....on our way to BBC

~Welcome to a Boracay Like Beach~

A small shanty that welcoming the guest to the beach...

I went to Bohol Beach Club together with my husband and co-office mate last May of 2009. The Bohol Beach Club is located on the southern end of Panglao Island, roughly a ten mile taxi ride from Tagbilaran City. The Oceanjet fast ferry from Cebu City to Tagbilaran is about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

The resort grounds are lush, green and fairly well maintained. The beach is long with beautiful clear blue water. The sand is a little on the coarse side and upon entering the water the sand becomes much coarser and gets mixed with tiny rocks, pebbles and seashell remnants. Walking ankle deep in the water barefoot is definitely uncomfortable. This is a beach that is probably better for laying out in the sun rather than for activities unless you have durable feet.

There are three restaurants at BBC. One is by the front desk/bar area. Taclobo and Agotata are located by the large swimming pool on the east side of the resort (the Amihan Wing). I had nice mussel soup at Agotata. Further east along the beach beyond the BBC grounds is the outdoor DBR Grille where I visited twice for lapu lapu and BBQ pork shishkebabs.

Internet access is available at the business center and they leave the wifi on at night even when the business center is closed. A couple of times I had to go online before dawn to get some business done and was able to get a connection right outside the business center door. The BBC resort is kind of isolated which is good if you're intention

is peace, quiet and solitude. It is self sufficient enough that you could feasibly stay

for a few days and never have to leave the resort. To get to some of the more 'vibrant' tourist spots like Alona beach two miles due west or Tagbilaran City you need to take a taxi. Tours of the island can be arranged at the front desk area. I took a one day tour that covered pretty much everything: Baclayon Church & Blood Compact Monument, Chocolate Hills, Loboc River cruise w/ lunch and a visit to a tarsier sanctuary.

The Bohol Beach Club is a sprawling resort compound with beautiful, lush tropical surroundings. If the rooms and amenities like wifi were brought up to date then this could be a 4+ star resort. My brief excursion to neighboring Alona beach exposed me to many tempting resort and dining options, and if I ever return to Panglao Island I will probably try someplace there.
