Stayed at Bohol Beach Club - Bohol, Philippines.

Don't expect alot of action here. It is difficult to move around Panglao because transportation is scarce and therefore expensive. We rented a van on the first night to bring us along the Alona beach area which they called mini-Boracay (not!). We had dinner in the area too and food was ordinary. Took our dessert at Alona Palm Beach Resort which was beautiful but may be quite too modern for some.
On the 2nd day, we hired a van for sightseeing -- which was well worth it. Historical sites, churches, the tarsier, man made forest and the chocolate hills are all must-sees. If you have a party of at least 5 or 6, it might be nice to get an exclusive boat to cruise you along Loboc River. Not bad for P800 plus meals of P175 per head.
We took the afternoon flight out of tagbilaran on the 3rd day so we were able to still swim in the morning, have an easy lunch at the Pier (cheap food) and a city tour that brought us to the mall for some peanut kisses and the Bohol Museum for some more educational inputs.
I would prefer some night life and it might be interesting to find out if Tagbilaran has one. It may be cheaper to contact a transportation company directly for your whole stay if you want to move around.

Diving in Bohol is a nice experience especially the instructor and dive master are very helpful and really doing their best. However, it's very annoying when we tried to have lunch or take a break on the beach of Balicasag because almost all women of the island came to sell souvenir and some of them even came up to our boat! It would be much better if they make some souvenir booths on the beach and visitors can go and have a look by their own free will instead of trying to escape!
