Head to Panglao Island, Bohol for Some R & R

It's summertime and practically everyone is heading to the beach or some faraway place for a much needed rest and relaxation. But one of the hassles of the summer season is the large crowds heading in the same direction. Chances are, one will be elbowing their way to the beach amongst a crowd of revelers and partygoers or standing in long lines outside a jam-packed shower room of a resort.

A better way to spend one's vacation minus the large crowds is to go out of town during off season. It is a perfect time to get away from the stressful life in the city when most people are already busy with work. One local destination that is worth visiting during off season is Panglao Island in Bohol.

In recent years, Panglao Island has slowly earned a reputation in the country as one of the not-to-be-missed destinations for local and foreign travelers. The island – known for its serene beaches, diving spots, and biodiversity – is an ideal destination for travelers looking for a quieter place to unwind. Unlike the more congested islands of Boracay or Puerto Galera come peak season, Panglao Island boasts of tranquil, less crowded beaches perfect for those who prefer a quiet time on the beach.

Vacationers planning to visit the island in the coming months need not worry about finding good accommodations as there are lots of places to stay in the area. Several resorts in the area even offer budget-friendly packages to visitors. Flushing Meadows Resort & Playground for one is offering special packages to bookers.

The resort's two current packages – the Vacation Package and Honeymoon Package – give Panglao visitors a chance to stay at its exclusive rooms in a more affordable rate and private setting. Have a look at these Bohol resort deals:

Escape to Bohol

Whenever summer comes along, most beachcombers tend to think of Boracay or Puerto Galera as the places to go to for a fun-filled time at the beach. While those places are deserving of their reputation as excellent summer vacation spots, there are lots of other places in the Philippines that are just as interesting and exciting, and are worth checking out, too. If you're the type who wants more than the usual partying nightlife by the beach, you might want to try Bohol.

Just starting to emerge as an ideal place for discovery and adventure, Bohol has lots to offer the wide-eyed child in all of us. Aside from being famous for their Chocolate Hills and cute, shy tarsiers, which are already givens as must-sees when you visit the island, Bohol has several other natural wonders just waiting to be explored.

At the many beaches alone that have yet to be fully commercialized, there are already plenty of exciting things one can do. You can go whale and dolphin watching in Pamalican Island, snorkeling and scuba-diving at the countless dive spots and see the vibrant marine life up-close, or try your hand at some water sports.

If you're in the mood for some land-based adventure, you can go island-hopping, admire the limestone hills, go through the Loboc River and marvel at the majestic falls there, or visit the numerous caves and bring out the spelunker in you. For sure, nature lovers will never run out of things to rave about in these tours around the island.

Of course, it would also be nice to have a place to relax after all that exploring all over Bohol. There are several ideal places to choose from, but if you're willing to splurge a little on your vacation, the Eskaya Beach Resort and Spa in Panglao would be a good place to take note of. This Bohol resort , located at the southern tip of the island which is known for its white sand beaches, takes pride in allowing vacationers to privately relax at their infinity pool or pamper themselves with their rejuvenating spa service after having had their fill of adventure for the day.

Should you ever feel the urge to go thrill-seeking again, they offer dive packages and sightseeing tours that you can avail of and arrange upon arrival at the resort. They also have sufficient facilities for you to play beach volleyball, badminton, pingpong, or even water sports like jet skiing. Whether it's rest and rejuvenation or adventures you're after, the Eskaya caters to both those needs.

Indeed, the possibilities are endless once you've stepped foot on Bohol. So, what are you waiting for? Get thee packin'!
