Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: The most beautiful time of the beach is early morning and after 3 o'clock. It's easy to miss because you have breakfast. Snorkeling is much cleaner than Alona. It's a pity, but it's realistic ㅜㅜ There are many sea cucumbers from the middle, so be careful ~ There are many sea cucumbers to hunt ㅎㅎㅎ You can snorkell for an hour by 1500 pesos next to the hotel ~ in Philpin It's the best motorboat you can ride. I feel a bit like using coconut oils such as potato fried or bacon. Goats (I eat pretty grass in the garden ㅋㅋ), atmosphere and service in many ways. I've felt better value for money than anywhere else ~ You can take pretty skulls and toothbrushes are better than anywhere else ~ Just! There are so many Henan, here and here, and there are so many families. One thing that was uncomfortable was that she was crying at dawn, but she didn't relax for a long time ㅜㅜ 30 minutes and she was yelling at her. There was ㅎㅎㅎ This place is .. Korea .... Like ㅎㅎ Despite each country ~ Couples are gel quiet.

Hanna Louise Plaza: This place is magical to say the least. I loved our stay and just look at how picturesque the whole place is. Everywhere is instagrammable though I didn't took pictures of my room. The staff were also very friendly and I musta say I cannot walk everywhere because the property is so vast. I needed a golf caddy to tour around. Will check in here again next time.

Day 1 | Afternoon

When time permits after visiting Bohol Beach Club, don’t forget pay a visit to Alona Beach.

Alona Beach

Opening Hours: Open from 8:00am-6:00pm

Ticket Price: Free

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-2 Hours

Location: Alona Beach, Bohol, Philippines

Alona Beach is located on a small island in the southwest corner of Bohol. This white sand beach is formed by sandy coral reefs and is a great place to relax. There are no noisy paragliders, jet skis and other marine recreational activities here, all you can do is diving and resting. Alona Beach is less than 500 meters long. There are hotels, diving shops and restaurants along the beach. Tourists come from all over the world, mainly European and American tourists. It is lazy during the day. There are twos and threes on the beach, or enjoying the coconut oil body massage of the Filipino sister-in-law, or lying on the beach chair and sunbathing. Not only the people are lazy, but even the dogs are lying motionless on the beach to sleep, and the whole beach seems to be asleep. The sky was getting dark, tables were set up on the beach, candles were lit, and the seafood barbecue grill was fragrant, and the whole beach began to be a little lively. Under the cool evening breeze, eating seafood barbecue, listening to LIVEMUSIC, watching the bright moon rising from the sea in the distance, the feeling of relaxation and comfort is fascinated.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Hanna Louise Plaza: Alona Beach is a beautiful, pristine white sand beach in Bohol that's dubbed as the "mini Boracay of Bohol." It's one of my favorite places to visit in the Philippines—the water is clear and clean, and there's lots of room to spread out. There are also plenty of activities to do, like swimming, snorkeling, exploring caves, or just relaxing on the beach.

Trip.com User: Long gone, Alona Beach is still full of Koreans, Chinese and Europeans, both sightseeing and simple feeling. Just caught up with the sunset and the colored clouds, the beautiful sea and the beach. And I have to say that the Filipinos really hen will barbecue! #Mint Island #panglao #bohol #alonabeach #sunset

Balicasag Island is an equatorial coral island, located in the middle of the sea, about a 45-minute flight from Bohol. Balicasa Island is home to the world-famous Balicasa fault, which is said to have a seafloor drop of 1,000 meters and is listed as a marine protected area with a magnificent landscape. Balicasa Island is also a gathering place for many diving enthusiasts. One of its major features is that you can float in the water and overlook the Balicasa fault. From the underwater point of view, the entire coral island looks like a pillar more than a thousand meters high standing on the bottom of the sea, and the part exposed to the sea is Balicasa Island. Diving here you can see precious and rare black coral reefs, which grow around the fault, and the coral is rose-shaped, extra large and gorgeous. You can also see beautiful marine life such as groups of tropical fish and funny clown fish on the bottom of the sea. There are also colorful corals, various schools of fish, etc., which are dizzying and unforgettable.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Rosseau: we went to Balicasag from Panglao. first we did dolphin watching which I wouldn’t recommend. The boats circle the dolphins and charge after them to get a better view. Balicasag itself has a wonderful diversity of fush and sea turtles. we saw sea turtles feeding and it was great! Took a video with my phone but the quality isn’t great!

asdf8481: Even though the weather was cloudy, it was a beautiful natural scenery ㅠㅠ I don't know when I can go again because of Corona, but I want to go again
