Silver Leaf Resort

All eyes on Bohol

THE QUIET that resides in Panglao, Bohol is strange. The island’s postcard-pretty white sand, Impressionist skies, and blue water are reminiscent of Boracay (the benchmark against which all Philippine beaches are measured), but instead of human chatter and whomping bass there is only the susurrus of wind and waves. If Boracay is Sodom and Gomorrah, then Bohol is, as one journalist put it, where “you do nothing at your own pace.” Alona beach, a strip of paradise located at the southwestern tip of Bohol, squirms with life. A dip in its waters is an Animal Planet episode populated by sea urchins, starfish, jellyfish, and a jungle of seaweed and sea grass. Bathers disinclined to socialize with these marine organisms may congregate in barren patches of sand, few and far between, or flee to the pools of the many resorts lining the shore. Henann Resort boasts the widest beachfront, a 450-square meter swimming pool, and a dozen villas (each with its own terrace). The resort’s restaurant is a branch of Boracay Regency’s Christina’s -- it bears the same name and a similar surf-and-turf menu. Examples of main entrees include generous portions of pork baby back ribs and pan-fry fillet of lapu-lapu; grilled lamb cutlet and halibut steak; grilled tiger prawn and beef fillet mignon; and chicken cordon bleu and grilled John Dory fish. When guilt at this languorous kind of life threatens to ruin a vacation, the words of polymath John Lubbock act as a balm. He reminds us in The Use of Life that “rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means a waste of time.” To lie sometimes on a firm bed in an air-conditioned room, reading a book, is by no means a waste of time either. Henry Chusuey, Boracay Regency chairman and president, who was unable to grace the media familiarization tour, called Bohol “the next big thing” in a profile published in Asian Dragon magazine. In the same article, he explained that Panglao, at 9,000 hectares, is nine times the size of Boracay; its white sand beaches are just as good as Boracay’s; and the island is only half an hour away from the airport Tagbilaran City. Furthermore, if the stalled and controversial Panglao International Airport project pushes through, the half-hour land transfer will be reduced significantly.

Last time we were there (2 years ago) there was a family of about 10 people staying above us, and they were literally RUNNING from one side of the building to the other laughing and screaming until about 2:00 AM. Ugh! On the second night of this my husband called security and asked if they could do anything about it. They came right out and made the neighbors quiet down and be still. The security guy said, "Next time don't wait so long to call us. This is our job.
