The perfect Bohol beach holiday

CEBU, Philippines – There a resort in Bohol that is touted to have the longest beach in Panglao, and guests can frolic to their hearts’ content. It is a 9.3 hectare tropical enclave within a 45-hectare beach front property. “With that amount of space, there is practically zero chance of guests bumping into one another… they get to enjoy their beach holiday in a more private setting,” says Hope Marie Uy, Managing Director of South Palms Resort Panglao.

Here, guests have the easiest access to the beach, which is mainly crystal white sand and cobalt blue waters. Once they are out of their room, they can go directly to the sand and sea – without even having to pass through a lobby or go down an elevator.

South Palms Resort Panglao has 90 guestrooms and suites, all clean and comfortable. Guests may choose from such accommodations as Deluxe Garden View, Deluxe Pool View, Deluxe Beachfront, Premium Beachfront, Beach Villa, Family Villa, and South Palms Villa. Guestroom features include a 32-inch LED TV, cable connection, free Wi-Fi internet, mini bar, coffee- and tea-making equipment, hot and cold bath, and an in-room safe vault.

There are various options available for guests, allowing them to enjoy their vacation their way. For starters, there are two pools within the property. The Coast Pool, in particular, is just a couple of steps away from Oceanic Restaurant, which serves savory local and international cuisine – all fresh all the time, from steaks to seafood. And there are water activities designed for truly appreciating the unique marine attractions of Bohol; diving, island-hopping, whale shark and dolphin viewing are just some of these.

For winding down, there’s a selection of treatments at Palm The Spa. Guests may enjoy, relax, or even doze off to a relaxing “hilot,” Swedish or hot-stone massage in a cabana by the beach or in the comfort of one’s room. Business-pleasure travelers are well-covered, too. The resort has the Green Palm function room good for up to 300 persons, theater style; while the Blue Palm can accommodate 80 people – both function rooms with modern equipment and amenities. The resort also has a fitness center, a tennis court, a business center, a dive shop and a souvenir shop.

Toping it all is the attentive, warm and friendly service by the South Palms Resort Panglao staff, men and women dedicated in helping make that dream Bohol beach holiday a reality. “At South Palms Resort Panglao, we make that happen,” Hope Marie Uy is quick to emphasize.
