Many people, including you and me, from all around the world are moving. Stuck from backlogs, paperwork, working 8-5, or under a 24-hour shift. And once in a while the relief from the city, the sound of honking cars, under the blazing sunlight on a sidewalk, ticking time-off a street light, all of these that would consume each and every corner of our brain to maximize time. We want that relief from those things, to walk by a path leading to a beach, or a less crowded city filled with café’s, or even just walking up on a room facing the sea.
Well lucky for you and me, the Philippines has those things we need! Specifically saying; one of the Philippines’ hotspot for divers and snorkelers, dubbed as the “City of Friendship” of the Philippines, and also has the crowned jewel of the Philippines’ “the Chocolate Hills”.
Bohol has many resorts and café’s in store to suit your taste either from an outdoor perspective, or an indoor-like tungsten lit ambiance, or maybe both?
One resort is located in an island that’s known to most of the locals of Bohol, That island is called “Sandingan Island” or famously called “Isla de Sandingan”. And within this island resides many resorts, and public beaches. One of these said resorts is called BOFFO Resort.
Boffo Resort is located at the seaside portion of the island to which it emphasizes its architecture to suit your comfortability and as well as their food to appease your hunger. The whole resort emphasizes on nature-to-seascape view, and maximizes without compromising the balance from aesthetic and quality based on eyesight and experience as well. You can bring your own vehicle as they offer a wide parking space.
Boffo Resort offers a whole wide range of menu options, from the very favorite of the Filipino people, the “fried chicken” to the Favorite dish of the Bol-anon people, Tuyom and Suwaki (Sea urchins), and also other sea food specialties and sliders. Other than food, you can also enjoy the wide landscape of the resort, you can do games and even have a picnic there! After that, you have the infinity pool that faces the horizon that is perfect for the sunset. And, if you are done with the pool, you have the wide shore-to-sea bonus from morning to night (the shores are perfectly lit so you all you can do is to enjoy as you see fit). And another thing is that, the resort also offers cottages for you to stay-in overnight.
