Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
We are located on the beachfront in the village of Bacong, in the Municipality of Anda, in the south-east part of the island Province of Bohol, in the Philippines. By car, it takes a little over two hours from the Tagbilaran seaport or the Bohol-Panglao International Airport, traveling along the scenic coastal road. If you arrive in Bohol early, you could consider taking the longer inland route and visit the Tarsiers, Loboc River, and the Chocolate Hills on the way. Allow an extra 2-3 hours if you plan to take the inland option.
What amenities do you have?
We offer year-round warm weather, a serene beachfront location, and low-density modern accommodation set among lush bird-filled tropical gardens and walkways. We also offer a 20 m pool, a pétanque terrain, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, yoga classes, and professional massage. We have an award-winning restaurant and wine bar. Tours can be arranged to explore Bohol’s famous attractions, as well as the lesser-known unspoiled natural wonders of eastern Bohol.
What are the room rates?
Room rates depend on the room type, season, length of stay, number of guests, and extra bed requirements.

The cost of a car is currently P 3,500 from the port and P 4,000 from the airport. A van would cost an extra P 500 – P 1,000 depending on the number of guests. The cost is subject to change.
What are the local transport and tour arrangements?
You can walk into town along the beach at low tide, or the resort can arrange a tricycle taxi to take you to town or to other resorts. Motorcycles are available for rent. For half or full day tours the resort will arrange a car and driver and can recommend an itinerary that would suit your interests.
Are there TV and phones in the rooms?
We have no TV in the resort. This is to avoid disturbing neighbors in adjoining rooms. Television has become unnecessary as most guests prefer to use their personal devices. For similar reasons land-line phones are not installed in the rooms.
Do you have karaoke?
Sorry, we don’t. In the evenings the background music in the dining areas is timeless and jazz flavored. However, should you be a fan of karaoke, it is not hard to find in the town.
Do you allow day-use of resort facilities?
Our residential and pool areas are reserved for the exclusive use of our in-house guests. However, our restaurant, The Old Plantation, is open to the public and you may enjoy the sea views and the garden setting while dining. For non-resident guests, dinner reservations are recommended.

Food or alcohol purchased outside the resort should not be consumed or brought into public areas of the resort. Corkage on wine is P 500 on each 750 ml bottle. Corkage may be waived at the discretion of the management if the guest is also purchasing an equal amount, or more, from the bar, or offering an appropriate amount to the management.
