The place is so cozy and homey. It’s so quiet and peaceful place you wouldn’t even remember you are in the city. The foods are delicious also, especially the drinks. Wifi is amazing. 10/10 would recommend! 😉😉

💙Address: VP Inting Avenue,, Bool District, Tagbilaran City, 6300 Bohol, Philippines 💙Price range: From 40,000-50,000 won per night 💙Review: Introducing the 'Ocean Suites Bohol Boutique Hotel', a resort-like hotel located in Bohol, Philippines. The hotel is fully equipped with two infinity pools, a cocktail bar, and everything you need for true relaxation. Highly recommended for those looking for accommodations in Bohol :) #Emotional Accommodation #Philippines #Bohol Travel #Bohol Accommodation #Rest

Finally visited this budget-friendly and beautiful restaurant or bistro called Hangout in Bohol. For as low as PHP180, you can get a full meal! I love it here as they implemented a picturesque interior with bee-hive and retro inspired. If you came by the main city Tagbilaran in Bohol. Make sure to try it out. There are cute bee-hive style cabins where you can feel like a cozy bee and the staff are very great. Had the chance to talk to manager and even gain a new friend!

Infinity pools are overrated, but not this. This is the only place in Bohol that’s blessed with the majestic view of the beautiful Panglao island across the sea. That in itself makes your stay in Ocean Suites Bohol Boutique Hotel totally worth your bucks. What goes with that wonderful, godly view is that the two infinity pools of this hotel are open for swimming until midnight, unlike some others in the city that limits pool time at 8PM only. A worthy premium to be added are the rooms facing that grand Panglao Island View, where you can just stare at the sky, the ocean or the faraway island all at once, while chilling with a beer in hand inside your room. Perfect for every type of traveler, especially if you don’t always get to visit Bohol. What comes with their overnight stay here is a big breakfast in their poolside restaurant and cafe, that actually serves freshly brewed coffee as part of the package (not the usual instant coffee powders common in hotels here). This is also just beside the Blood Compact Shrine, a famous tourist spot in Tagbilaran City. Stay here and get this ultimate meditation place all by yourself, and when you’re ready, leave the place energized and ready to conquer your countryside day-tour around the island. #themepark #staycation #urbanexplorer #summervacation #nationalpark

#0YenTravel2025Autumn 🤝✨ Experience Philippine history—connect with a historic moment at the Blood Compact Shrine 🇵🇭🏛️ The Blood Compact Shrine is a historical monument located in the village of Tarcera, Bohol.

🌊🍫 Bellegarde-du-Loiret delivers a perfect blend of river tranquility and sweet adventures! Whether you're melting into the gentle pace of river cruising at Luay or scouting out the region's quirky Chocolate Hills, this trip is all about indulging your senses. Start your day with a relaxed cruise along the Luay River. Most local operators offer departures in the early morning when the mist hugs the banks—absolutely magical for photos! Float past charming villages and pause for riverside snacks—try the fragrant local cheese and fresh pastries. For lunch, don't miss the riverside cafés; the regional cuisine is surprisingly gourmet (the fish stew is a foodie secret!). My tip: Bring a light jacket, even in summer, as breezes can be brisk on the water. Next, make your way to the Chocolate Hills, a unique natural wonder. These undulating mounds are a chocolate lover’s dream and provide panoramic views perfect for your next travel post—snap your selfie from the east ridge for steep angles and rolling backgrounds. The hike up is gentle but wear sturdy shoes (rainfall can make paths slippery). Local stalls sell artisan chocolate—stock up on truffle bars and gift packs. ⏰ Visiting tips: River cruises book up fast on weekends, so buy your tickets the day before. The Chocolate Hills are open year-round; mornings are quieter and offer softer light for photos. ⚠️ Key precautions: For river activities, keep an eye on weather updates, and always secure your belongings on deck. At the Hills, beware loose gravel on paths and carry water, especially in warmer months. #Bellegardeduloiret #RiverCruise #ChocolateHills #FranceTravel #HiddenGems

The ocean view is really nice. The breakfast is really bad, but the restaurant in the resort is great value for money. The food is also delicious. It's not a great place when the weather is cloudy.

📍Ocean Suites Boutique Hotel, Bohol, Philippines🇵🇭 We stayed at the Ocean Suites Bohol Boutique Hotel on Bohol Island, Philippines. As the name suggests, the blue ocean stretches out before you. 🏝️ The infinity pool offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, blending seamlessly into the sky. The rooms are incredibly clean! It's also conveniently located for sightseeing, allowing you to relax at the hotel between trips to the Chocolate Hills and the Tarsier (the world's smallest tarsiers). What's even more convenient is the laundry service next door. 🧺 It's open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and can be completed in 2-3 hours, making it a breeze even during long stays or while island-hopping. This is a huge plus for travelers! The food at the hotel's cafe is also delicious, and the convenience of room service is also a plus. The staff were all friendly, and I was happy to see them greet each other with a smile. 😊 This hotel wasn't just a place to stay, but a memorable stay in itself. ✨ (Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi was unstable at times. 😢) #TravelGuide #Philippines #BoholIsland

This time, we'll introduce a plan that allowed us to fully enjoy Bohol in one day! Rather than taking a package tour, we chartered a private driver for the day and went everywhere we wanted to see. 😏 The driver fee was 3,500 pesos per day plus entrance fees (50-150 pesos each). 5:15 AM Departure from hotel in Cebu City (arrange a taxi via Grab). Arrive with plenty of time for baggage inspection. 5:30 AM Arrived at Cebu Pier 1. We recommend purchasing ferry tickets online! (800 pesos one way + 25 pesos terminal fee). 6:00 AM Ferry departure. 🚢 Bring some snacks with you might be a good idea! For a better view, reserve an open-air seat. 8:00 AM Arrived in Bohol. 🏝️ 8:30 AM Blood Compact Monument. (15-minute ride). 9:00 AM Baclayon Church. ⛪️ The inside of the church is so beautiful! (30 minutes) 10:00 Lunch on the Loboc River (approx. 1,000 pesos) Enjoy lunch on the boat while listening to local songs and dances (1 hour 30 minutes) 12:00 Tarsier Conservation Area So so cute! (1 hour) 13:30 Chocolate Hills ⛰️ Climb the 224 steps (maybe) for a spectacular view! Apparently, the hills are green in the rainy season and brown in the dry season 🧐 (30 minutes) 14:30 Python Sanctuary You can try on snakes and touch flying squirrels (1 hour) 16:30 Hinagdan Cave Small, but with beautiful water 🏊 Be careful, it closes at 17:00! (Approximately 30 minutes) 5:30 PM Takeout from Jollibee 6:00 PM Arrive at Bohol Terminal The last stop is 6:30 PM, so it's best to make a reservation online. 6:30 PM Depart Bohol 🚢 The night view was beautiful from the outdoor seats! It was cold inside with the air conditioning! 8:30 PM Arrive Cebu There were plenty of drivers waiting, so Grab was the safest option! I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, but I was exhausted after getting up at 4:30 AM. 😮💨 The whole day cost about ¥20,000! While some tours are cheaper, I think the only way to see all of this is by self-traveling! Please take a look! #TravelAdvice
