Hi Maarten,

Good day!

I was looking for places to go after our Camiguin trip on May when I came across your blog. Your travel tip is so on point! Bohol sounds like a really good idea. I’m curious if you know any hotels with good locations in Bohol?

Thanks!

Hi Goldie! It really depends on your budget and which location you plan to stay. Most travellers pick Panglao Island and Alona Beach so they wake up to the waves and still be near enough to the island's other attractions like Chocolate Hills. D' Backpackers' Barn (booking.com) offers good value for money. They have clean and comfy rooms and offer basic but good breakfast. Positano (booking.com) is also a good choice and it offers more amenities. These are just what comes to mind for me, but there are a lot of good choices near Alona Beach!
