nice beach, but one thing regarding the boats they should be quayed or anchored at a designated area such that they will not be of great disturbance to the swimming area for the public. To some masahestas please beware of theme cause they will be asking after the service is done not to the pre-agreed price.

You can go to Alona Palm Beach Resort (www.alonapalmbeach.com) or Alona Kew White Beach (www.alona-kew.com) We stayed at Alona Kew last 2007 and that place was great!

I have been looking at the resort pictures of Bohol and I have to say they are gorgeous! I am planning a very simple and short christian wedding in Bohol with about 10 other family members and I was wondering if anyone can help me with regards to the venue and pastor. I want the wedding to be intimate and simple and to let the beach and sunset set the mood. Hope to hear from someone soon! Thanks!

Alona Kew is really nice. Actually the beach in Bohol is not really nice. So it is better if you're gonna stay in a resort that has also a swimming pool. I was there 3 years ago with my usband and parents in law. They really love it there. We're actually planning to go back again.

I just came from Panglao, 2 weeks ago. I stayed at ALONA CITADEL. about 5 minute walk from the beach, the rooms are very clean and the staff are very friendly. only downside is the shared Bathrooms. Very Clean Bathrooms though. the price I paid was P.640/night dbl occupancy. you can get a cheaper room for P.100 less, for a Fan room, rather than Air conditioned room, but at this time of the year... I can do w/out a/c.

I'm currently staying at Alona Beach and can recommend Peter's House, which is less than $10 per night and very nice. Share bathroom though (albeit very clean). If you prefer a private bathroom, try Hayahay which is affiliated to Peter's House, but a more upmarket option. Both are run my Genesis Divers, an excellent dive operation if you're into that, who offer discounts to divers. Check the Genesis website at http://www.genesisdivers.com/ for accommodation pices, prices and options. Hope this helps, Carrie.

Alona Beach is a nice place. Its very lively on Saturday nights, lesser on Sunday evenings. Sleepy on weekdays. Food is plentiful in the evenings. There is not much choice during breakfast only 3 or 4 restaurants are open, and they're not cheap. There is a lot of choice for accommodation from expensive to low cost. Bathroom water is slightly less salty than seawater in all. White sand on the beach is abundant. Stray dogs are plentiful too. There are too many boats on the water facing the beach.I think it is better if the boat owners park their boats on a cluster farther off the beach. Its an eyesore. I did not see any jet ski, sailing catamaran, banana boat and other water toys. Dive boats and dive shops are plentiful.

I stayed at Crystal Coast and unless there has been a 10,000 percent improvement this place is on it's last legs. No hot water, when there was water. A/C was not working in half the rooms as I changed rooms four (4) times before geting a room with working A/C. Pool had low tide (not enough water in it) Restaurant was always short on food. Did not have food on hand always going shopping. Rooms were dirty not well kept up. Over charged my credit card, I would not stay here again. Sad this place goes downhill. I looked here two years ago, and wasn't much impressed myself; the location is great, but the design of the buildings lacks atmosphere. I've heard rumours the place has been sold to a new owner, and hope he will be able to improve it. A well-designed and well-run resort on this spot could earn a fortune.--Jeroen.

My fiance and I plan to go on vacation in the Philippines and get married. I wanted a beach wedding and Bohol was suggested by one of my friends for that. Cebu and Boracay as I was told was over populated and such. If there is anybody who has done a wedding by the beach in Bohol any suggestion, comments would be greatly appreciated. I have never been to Bohol and by looking at it on the websites it looks fantastic and the beach looks perfect for my wedding dream. Any help how I can accomplish it? You may email me at joslincolumbus@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance!

All your articles on Bohol, from the Chocolates Hills, to Dolphin Watching are very informative and would come in handy when we visit Bohol this January. We shall be arriving via Cebu. How far is Crystal Coast in Panglao from the pier? Would you know of an inexpensive local tour guide who can give us a daytour of the various destinations? Crystal Coast is about 25 minutes by car from the pier in Tagbilaran. Ask around on Alona Beach for tour guides. Maybe some of the hotels have cheaper options than the booking office in the middle of the beach.--Jeroen

Re-discover the Philippines, go to Bohol! Lovely place, so much nature to offer, untouch, genuinely beautiful. If you happen to be in the island, never miss the beaches in Bohol, or you will regret it. I live in Bohol and in different cities in the Philippines, and to me, Bohol is still the best place to live in the Philippines..

I miss the time when Alona beach was so lively before the Abu Sayaff kidnappings. And the sea front was so clean. I hope you'll bring it back. Alona Palm Beach is so lovely but Alona Tropical has the best spot and one of the best resorts along the whole stretch. See you soon there. Alona Beach was never affected by kidnappings, but the happenings in Palawan did reduce the number of visitors drastically. Back in 2001, it was really quiet. Since then, things have improved considerably. The beach now is lively again, and kept clean.--Jeroen.
