Bohol’s Newest!

CEBU, Philippines - Sun-bleached sands, clear blue waters, and palm trees burnished gold by the tropical palettes of the seemingly eternal sunshine make the island of Panglao in the Western Visayan province of Bohol one of the world’s most desirable destinations for travelers who understand the rarity of what is waiting to be discovered.

The Bellevue Resort in Panglao is the newest venture of The Bellevue Hotels & Resorts (BH&R) led by its brilliant chairman Johnny Chan. Bringing the same five-star luxury that made The Bellevue Hotel Manila in Alabang, Muntinlupa the preferred home away from home by travelers all these years, The Bellevue Resort in Panglao provides a tropical oasis for weary tourists looking for ultimate comfort and pampering.

While most of Panglao’s other resorts are all crowded at the northern part of the island, The Bellevue Resort is quietly tucked away in a sliver of secluded beach at the southwestern tip of Bohol’s prized tourist getaway. John Patrick Chan, Managing Director of The Bellevue Hotels & Resorts, points out that the resort’s special location makes it an ideal sanctuary for privacy and indulgence. “The Bellevue Hotels & Resorts has always stood for dedicated service, uncompromised quality and a penchant for innovation. The opening of The Bellevue Resort is proof our commitment to provide nothing but the best for our guests.”

Situated at the inviting and serene Doljo Beach, The Bellevue Resort is just a 20-minute scenic drive from the nearby Tagbilaran Airport in the capital city of Bohol, and less than two hours away from Cebu by ferry, consisting of 159 exquisitely appointed luxury rooms and suites that maximize the spectacular views of the picturesque Doljo Beach, and the island’s lush tropical landscape.

Rooms at the resort’s north wing are specifically designed with families in mind. With two queen beds in every masterfully designed guest room, The Bellevue Resort’s spacious guest rooms can easily accommodate up to four adults. With an addition of a roll away bed, families of up to five can rest comfortably, and still have room to move about freely.

Couples on their honeymoon have an option to stay in the resort’s deluxe rooms at the east wing which range from 35 to 45 square meters, or opt to indulge in any of the resort’s luxurious suites which range from 65 to over 170 square meters. The suites are equipped with king beds and creature comforts like large LED TVs, and iPod Docks among other things.

According to Ryan Chan, Corporate Director for Marketing & Communications of The Bellevue Hotels & Resorts, “At The Bellevue Resort, we know that pampering the guest is an integral part of genuine hospitality. The resort’s team will be glad to make the arrangements to enhance your hotel experience, be it to celebrate a special occasion, enjoy a romantic interlude, host a family event or have a spa treatment to complement the sense of peace and tranquility.”

Guests can indulge in any of the several pampering therapies at the resort’s own spa, or swim in the resort’s magnificent infinity pool, which also has a kiddie area for toddlers going for a dip, with a diving area for those who want to make a splash.

There is also an indoor playing area where children can enjoy themselves while gym buffs need not worry about skipping their routine while on vacation as the resort offers a well-equipped gym for guests to work on their muscles.

Flujo offers refreshing summer cocktails, tropical shakes, and other bar chow, while Western and Filipino fusion cuisine takes center stage at Cena. Lamian offers a buffet of the best dishes from around the world, while seafood fans are in for a treat at the resort’s signature seafood restaurant Marea, where the fine dining experience is complimented by the stunning seaside ambiance.
