Back at Ananyana Resort Bohol

By | Accomodations | One Comment

To the right of Bellevue Resort Bohol is a public beach ( not maintained ) then there’s Ananyana where we stayed in 7 years ago.  We walked towards there to check it outBack at Ananyana Resort Bohol (2)

 Ruela toured us around 🙂  That day was a Tuesday and there had zero occupancy that day.  Imaging had we stayed there we would have had the whole place to ourselves! 🙂  But maybe I would be too scared to be alone! hahaBack at Ananyana Resort Bohol (8)

This place is owned by Emma, a friend of our friend Yvonne Back at Ananyana Resort Bohol (3)

The resort can accommodate 28 people only ( not including kids who can squeeze in the rooms ) So you can imagine the privacy.  We were a group of 25 a few years back and we practically had the whole place to ourselves.  It’s really perfect for a big group and you can claim it as yours 🙂  during your stay Back at Ananyana Resort Bohol (1)

There platforms are new – they were used for a wedding reception and they kept it – it’s beautiful because you can just hang out and lounge and enjoy the beautiful viewBack at Ananyana Resort Bohol (5)

Bellevue Resort Bohol

By | Accomodations | 2 Comments

Every now and then it’s nice to just go away for a day or two.

We arrived at out destination – Bellevue Resort Bohol in just an hour and five minutes ( + 30 mins car ride ).  Thank you for hosting us Ryan Chan of Bellevue Resorts and Jane Go.  No need to travel so far to get away from it all.  So this trip is

1.)  A much needed break

2.)  A new adventure to take and

3.)  A way to celebrate  (Valentine’s Day )

 I made sure it rhymed! 🙂   Bellevue Resort Bohol (2)

Bellevue Resort Bohol is the only 5 star resort in Bohol.  It’s relatively new and they have been around for around 2 years Bellevue Resort Bohol (3)

 I went to the end of Bellevue Resort to take this shot to shoe the resort and the beach.  It’s was low tide.  I love going to places during non peak periods because you have the place practically to yourself.  That’s the secret to having a quiet and peaceful breakBellevue Resort Bohol (22)

 Love these hammocks by the beachBellevue Resort Bohol (25)

 There are security guards in different areas of the resort – In the hut is a guard and which marks also the border of the resort.  There is a security guard also on the other sideBellevue Resort Bohol (29)

The rooms are spacious considering this is just the regular room.  This is the deluxe room and it was very comfortable for us.  Each room in the resort has a balcony tooBellevue Resort Bohol (9)

As soon as I arrived, I already spotted the best rooms in the place!  It’s here in the North Wing which are Beach front rooms.  The corner ones are the best because they face the beach directly and you have no obstructing room in front/  Request for room 220 and the best best would be the highest room 320 and they are junior suitesBellevue Resort Bohol (28)

Bellevue Resort Bohol (30)

We wanted to see those rooms but they were of course occupied so we took a look at the Presidential Suite.  Bellevue Resort Bohol (34)

Pangalusian Island El Nido

By | Accomodations | No Comments

Pangalusian resort is the latest and newest resort of the El Nido group

Map of El Nido Pangalusian resortThere was a resort here before but it burnt down in 1998 and reopened in October 2012 so it’s relatively new.  It’s a good thing we were able to get a booking! In our original plan to stay in Lagen, I requested for them to let us visit Pangalusian but they have a strict policy not to allow visitors to come to the resort.  Anyone can go to Apulit, Miniloc and Lagen, but Pangalusian its more private and exclusivepangalusian island palawan bacuit bayPangalusian Island El Nido (1)

Bacuit Bay is a National reserve and El Nido makes sure they take care and preserve the environment and they have many initiatives
