Amorita Resort in Panglao Island Bohol

Nestled at the far end of the famed Alona Beach in Panglao Island, on top of a seaside cliff, is Amorita Resort, a private and tranquil resort getaway which values your privacy and offers you comfort and luxury relaxation. The resort offers a breathtaking 180 degree view of the Bohol Sea.



Amorita Resort affords guests with their Ocean Villas, which gives them the most impressive amenity in the resort - a great view of the Bohol sea, its own pocket garden, private plunge pool, and a sun deck ideal for intimate moments or total relaxation; their Garden Villas, with the same amenities less the view of the sea; or their Deluxe Rooms, which offers comfort with premium on space.

Bohol: Rich in History, Culture and Island Adventure

The morning after, I was fetched by Gery, a DOT accredited tour operator, who services groups and brings them to the tourist spots around Bohol. Of course, my Bohol trip will never be complete without seeing the famous Chocolate Hills. The viewing deck is situated at Carmen, where the Chocolate Hills National Monument is located. There are approximately 1,776 hills, which are actually grass covered limestones, scattered in as much as 50 sq. kilometers covering several towns in Bohol.

Bohol: Traveling to Alona Beach in Panglao Island

Bohol, being one of the top local destinations of the Philippines, is becoming more and more known to both local and foreign travelers. One cannot help but marvel at a destination that has, what people say, "the complete tourism package" because there is something for everyone. Bohol has a provincial allure rich in history, heritage and culture, resorts of all class, best dive sites, great adventure, good food, and a lot more!



Bohol is valued to be a tropical, eco-tourism paradise - a must-see destination in Central Philippines, with the ancient limestone formations of the Chocolate Hills, the Tarsier Sanctuary, unparalleled underwater marine life, 16th century churches, and delicious native delicacies, being some of the reasons why people go to Bohol.

Lagen Island Resort of El Nido Resorts Palawan

From Apulit Island of El Nido Resorts in Taytay, Palawan, we rode an outrigger boat across Taytay Bay to the town proper, rode 2 hours in a van to El Nido Town, then we finally transferred to a boat which brought us to another haven of tranquility, Lagen Island of El Nido Resorts (as well). It is located in El Nido, in the northwestern part of Palawan, a breath-taking location known for its high biodiversity, lush forested limestone cliffs, and lagoons.



Like Apulit Island, Lagen Island is accessible by a daily 75-minute direct flight on a 19-seater Dornier aircraft from the Island Transvoyager Inc. (ITI) to the El Nido Airport in El Nido, Palawan, then a 40-minute boat ride to the island paradise itself. But for us, we came from Taytay, thus the route stated above.

Apulit Island Resort of El Nido Resorts

Apulit Island Resort, formerly known as Club Noah Isabelle, is the newest property of El Nido Resorts group of eco-island resorts in Taytay, northeastern part of Palawan, an unspoiled location that shows a wealth of wildlife and scenic landscapes. It is nestled within a pristine cove and a backdrop of limestone cliffs.



To go to Apulit Island, it only takes a 75-minute direct flight from Manila via the Island Transvoyager Inc. (ITI) 19-seater Dornier aircraft, which flies daily to Cesar Lim Rodriguez (CLR) Airport in Taytay, Palawan. After reaching the airport you have to take a boat ride from Tamisan Jetty, 10 minute or less ride away from the airport, to Apulit, which takes around an hour or less. Once you arrive at the resort, there will be a welcoming committee who will greet you with a familiar tune, if you’ve been to the other El Nido Resorts properties, the Palawan march and a Cuyonin medley, a lei and refreshments.
