Bohol panglao Diver's home resort

Tucked into Panglao's quiet Binlod Looc shoreline, Bohol Panglao Diver's Home Resort pitches itself squarely at divers — on-site dive operations and snorkeling put the Balicasag Island reef corridor within easy reach of the property's beach.

Rooms are ground-floor units with tile floors, private bathrooms, balconies, and soundproofing that keeps generator and ocean noise separate. A pool sits at the courtyard center; the outdoor dining area and sun deck face the garden rather than a road.

Panglao's concentration of dive shops and seafood grills along Alona Beach is roughly ten minutes by tricycle. The resort's tour desk arranges whale-shark encounters at Oslob and the Chocolate Hills day-trip inland.
