The Department of Tourism and the Municipality of Malay inaugurated last Friday the Boracay Tourist Information and Assistance Centre (BTIC), located at the beach front of Station 2, formerly Boracay Boat Station 2, in Barangay Balabag, Boracay Island in Aklan, to better address the various information, safety, and security concerns of tourists.

Boholano Cuisine at Amorita Resort's Saffron Restaurant

While I really absolutely had fun and enjoyed my Bohol Country-side Tour and my fantastic Garden Villa accommodation, care of Amorita Resort in Panglao Island Bohol, my main purpose that night was to try and taste the signature Boholano Cuisine prepared by Amorita's Saffron Restaurant.



If I am to summarize the food experience and the taste in a word, it would be gingery. Bohol’s cuisine is characterized by the use of a lot of ginger, lemongrass and a turmeric. So here's what Amorita's Saffron Restaurant made for me that evening. Let's start the food adventure!

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.

El Nido Palawan's Islands, Beaches, Lagoons, and Fun Activities

El Nido in Palawan boasts of more than 45 islands, that's why it brings a lot of excitement, adventure and fun to travelers and visitors to the place. It has a lot of picturesque limestone cliffs and formations, beaches, lagoons, and islands to discover. We went and explored some of the islands, lagoons, beaches and caves, when we were there a few weeks ago.



After breakfast at Miniloc Island Resort, our group proceeded to our itinerary. First up was the Small Lagoon and Big Lagoon, where we kayaked and enjoyed the scenery and its majestic allure. The photo below is courtesy of El Nido Resorts.
