BE Grand Resort Panglao Bohol
BE Grand Resort Panglao will eventually have its own blog when I get a chance to write it up. But, I thought it important to mention because Chef Fontilla has THREE restaurants here: The Monkey Bar, The Boathouse, and Lune Bar. WOW!!!
So, folks, welcome to a tropical haven where luxury meets paradise – BE Grand Resort Panglao Bohol! If you’re dreaming of a getaway that combines stunning ocean views, impeccable hospitality, and a touch of Filipino charm, you’ve come to the right place, and we sure did for our two-night stay. This resort is a top choice for travelers, and when we stayed something like 90% of those travelers were from Korea, which is just so awesome to see.
Nestled on the enchanting Panglao Island in the Philippines, BE Grand Resort Panglao Bohol offers a retreat like no other. With its lush gardens, pristine beaches, and a range of accommodation options, this resort caters to every traveler’s whims. Whether you’re seeking relaxation by the pool, water adventures, indulgent spa treatments, and of course the most exquisite food options, BE Grand Resort delivers it all.
Prepare to be captivated by the warm Filipino hospitality, and class amenities that set BE Grand Resort apart. There is one negative to call out that we feel would be remiss if we didn’t mention it: no beach. It is perched up on the cliff, but what they have done is create a man-made beach environment. Nicely done Macgyver!!!
