Better stay at Dao Hotel wherein you will be served by the deaf and mute people. By staying there, you will be able to help them and at the same time, you will enjoy their delicious food.GOD BLESS YOUR TRIP!!!!!!! ------

Me and my officemates went there last year for a company trip.All you need is to take a fast ferry trip Oceanjet, early travel is 6:20 am everyday. We stayed at Metrocentre Hotel in Tagbilaran City Bohol php 1, 300 per day and hired a van to tour around the tourists spots in Bohol for PHP 3,500.00 thats for 8 destinations. we started at around 8;30 in the morning and went back at around 5pm had our lunch at the floating restaurant in Loboc River. It was really fun and a long day too..Dont forget to have your dinner at Chicken Inato..Im from Cebu too. Maybe 4,000 is ok for each.. We were about 12 pax when we got there and had only PHP 18,000 as our budget.. ------

For the trip from cebu to bohol, you could get reservations for Weesam/Supercat boat rides. They last for about 45 mins and for weesam, tickets cost: P525 for first class(w/ aircon and a tv in the middle of the room) and P385 for economy class(open air yet hooded). I suggest the air conditioned one since it tends to be hot and humid when summer approaches.Bohol Beach Club is a huge resort(at the beach front). Their resort is so big that it's even divided into 2 wings(on the opposite ends of the property): the Amihan and Habagat wings. The Amihan is the newly-renovated wing but it's for those who're looking for a cheaper room(Php 3000+ per night). The Habagat wing is the older wing but has much, much better accomodations(and service) for Php4500 per night. I didn't really like the Amihan wing so it's safer to stay at the Habagat wing (better pool, better rooms, better service) for Php1500 more than the amihan one. I suggest getting a tour guide to tour you around since there are a lot of places to see namely: loboc river(where the tarsiers are), chocolate hills, sanduguan site(where Miguel Lopez de Legazpi performed the sanduguan ceremony with Rajah Soliman or Sikatuna i can't remember), hinagdanan cave, bee farm, and baclayon church(the oldest church in the Philippines!). Just be sure to visit those sights and if you have time, you can go dolphin watching (10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the glass boat tours) but the dolphins don't come out when it rains. Just be sure to get a good tour guide because bohol really is a wonderful place!*Prices may change if you book for the summer months.P.S., If you're coming from Cebu, you've gotta taste the"C&T's Cebu Lechon". Your trip wouldn't be complete without tasting it! Just be sure to get the tender parts (ribs, shoulders, thighs, legs, etc.).Good Luck and happy trip! ------

Buy your tickets to Bohol at Supercat,Pier 4. Supercat is the most experienced fastcraft going to Bohol.Try staying at Alona Beach or at Bohol Beach Club. Trip to Bohol costs 525 each.Prices at the Beach Club are not updated . We were there two years ago. You join a group for a day tour to the Tarsiers at Loboc, Bohol and have a lunch at loboc River. Along the way, you will pass the oldest church in the country. Later,you will enter the hinagdanan cave in Tagbilaran. ALSO, an uphill walk to the Chocolate Hills is an itenerary. Those who want to snorkel aare brought by boat to Balicasag, Island. Scuba divers may go to Pamilacan Island fordeep sea diving and whale watching. ------
