Travel Bohol part 2 - Dumaluan Bohol beach hotel resort, Panglao Island


Dumaluan beach resort is actually right beside Bohol beach club, it is located in Panglao Island, about 30 minutes from the port and main Bohol island.
It's one of the most recommended places to stay in when you are in Bohol and if you are after the white fine sand beach that Panglao Island offers. The beach hotel resort actually have a newer and much improved hotel buildings and has extended their amenities from cottages to pingpong tables and kayaks but seeing we're on a tight budget, we opted to get the quadruple sharing room (2 queen size bed with private toilet and bath) in the older guest rooms they rent out. It is also best to arrange a pick up transport service from the port. If you're travelling in a group, it will be much convenient and cheaper.

When we arrived, we can't swim because the tides are so low that all you can do is walk around. But the view of the sea from this beach hotel is really breath-taking that I am actually not upset not being able to jump in the water right away.

At nightfall, we dine at their open air restaurant which offers mainly grilled food. They have another restaurant that offers entertainment but we opted to be on the quieter side of the resort.
