Other Details/Helpful Tips:
- Alona Beach is around 30 - 40 minutes away, estimated 18 - 19 kilometers away from Bohol-Panglao International Airport.
- If you originally stay in Cebu for your vacation, you can have a Bohol Countryside Tour in for a day then get back to Cebu via ferry. Ferry transfer is approximately 2 hours travel. You need to take ferry at Pier 1 in Cebu City where some ferry operators offer Cebu-Tagbilaran-Cebu routes. (Price for fare differs based on ferry operator).
- The distance from Tagbilaran Seaport to the beach resort hotels is approximately 30-40 minutes drive / 18 kms away.
- Some known malls in Tagbilaran City are BQ Mall and Island City Mall.
- If you haven’t plan any tours for your vacation, there were a lot of people offering tours just outside the hotel.
- If you know how to ride a motorcycle, you can rent also and you can drive to anywhere you want to go (was not able to ask for the price, but on my opinion, I think it is cheap)
- Strictly "NO SMOKING IN PUBLIC AREAS" when you are in Tagbilaran City so be a good tourist and follow the rules so you won’t be paying any fine.
