Interesting location with a beautiful beach

Some great restaurants in the area. The mall was recently built just before COVID, so unfortunately the upper levels are still desolate and empty, but there's a great bubble tea shop and a few good restaurants below. The beach is very quiet and calm, very few people, and very clean. Definitely a good location to be compared to Adona beach if you prefer a bit more seclusion

#resortstyle It’s the place where the sky kisses the sea.

You can kayak all you want, yes you read that right! It’s unlimited! You can also take a dip either on the pool or at the beach. It has access to the beach fronting the resprt. Wait for the magnificent sun to set for a romantic setting. The food is great at and the prices are so reasonable. You’ll definitely want to extend your stay for a few days or even a week. Holidays are better spent by the beach, do you agree with me?

Henann Resort Panglao Bohol

Henann is the best 🍃 After almost 2 years, nakapag travel din and the wait was worth it dahil ang ganda and unforgettable yung experience namin in Panglao, thank you Henann Resort Alona Beach, Bohol ☺️ Upon arrival at Panglao Airport (which is 10 minutes away from Henann), we were checked for safety protocols and bilis ng process sa check-in, kahit 11:30am kami dumating, they’ve let us stay na agad sa room namin. (May pa-surprise pa kasi birthday ng husband ko) And because di naman kami naka leave the entire time, syempre we checked the wifi. Tadaaaaaaa, 180mbps (mas mabilis pa sa bahay namin). Kaya WFH ready din sila, este WF beach pala, best partner with their buy 1 take 1 happy hour 🍸 Aside from best pool that you can enjoy with your friends and family, Henann is best known din sa breakfast nila and this is so true. Syempre ang famous bacon diba 😉 What I love most is they follow safety protocols, hindi crowded yung resort cause malaki yung space nila, they have direct access sa pool and soooobrang bait ng mga staff. At dahil sobrang nag enjoy kami, we booked again with family naman for Christmas 😅🖤 #staysafewithhenann #henannresortbohol #diytravelphilippines #diytravelphilippinesgoestobohol #moresmilesahead #newtravelsahead #staycation staycation #beachlife

Best place to stay when in Panglao, Bohol

Imagine you’re in the beach, fronting massive sets of inter-connected swimming pools, with sweet and sour cocktails to sip from your wine glass by the pool, talking to strangers, discovering the world around you, in the best way possible. Except you don’t need to imagine all these things. They're all here, at the Hennan Beach Resort in Panglao Island, Bohol. Nowhere else you should be but here, with the best side of the most popular beach in Panglao, just a few minutes from the international airport. The building designs are amazing, that you would almost always want to grab your camera and take a photo of yourself at every corner. Rooms are elegantly built and designed. This resort has a particularly large area and you can just loose yourself exploring all its gardens, pools and amenities. The food is also great! I have tried both the dinner and breakfast buffet. Staff are good. They live up to their 5-star rating. Highly recommended! GOLDEN TIP, THOUGH: Book via Trip.com as most of the time, the room rates here are lower than the hotel’s own direct booking. No joke here. As we will be definitely going back, see you when we see you there. #staycation #beachlife #summervacation #travelinspiration #naturalwonders

Henan, Panglao Bohol

Panglao is an island in the Philippines located in the Central Visayas, with an area of 80.5 sq. kilometers. Politically, it is divided into two municipalities: Dauis and Panglao, part of Bohol Province. Panglao is located southwest of the island of Bohol and east of Cebu. Panglao Island is one the main tourist destinations on the Philippines. Talking about Panglao most of the people immediately think about "Alona Beach". Similar to Boracay, you can find an amazing white beach and crystal clear water. About 250 new species of crustaceans and 2500 new species of mollusks were found around the island. The discovery was the work of the Panglao Marine Biodiversity Project.
