1 CHECKING VEST PENSION HOUSE IN BOHOL

It is nearly a year now when we booked the flight for Bohol. That time, we supposed to seek out return flight from Hong Kong. Though plenty of schedules but of course it would be better if we could get much affordable fare. We gazed into different airlines, clicks here and there. Pero mukhang kaakibat na yata natin ang panahon. Surprisingly, it was around 2am when Cebu Pacific matched up with our plans. They were offering piso fare which most of the people or I must stay travelers waiting for.

And the day arrived. How I missed riding an airplane kahit na makailang beses na ako nakasakay. It feels like it’s always the first time. My eyes were stuck outside an endless spectrum, nothing I can see except for white cotton ball-like thingy. No wonder I finished my two-hour ride with stiff neck soreness. Arrived in Tagbilaran Airport around 10:30am. 

My partner been to this round-shaped island a lot of time, fourth time I guess. So we decided to stay where they stayed from the past visits. They have free pick up service since the distance is just five-minutes away from the airport. Sabihin lang sila na magpapick up kayo.

In a minimum of five-day break, you must secure a very good place to stay in order to give fairness how the real vacay. So when looking at one of the best of Bohol yet affordable lodging house, Vest Pension House I would say the most recommended. I believe there are one thousand star hotels standing around the island but this yet arranged the quality of what strollers looking for. I only feel sorry more noise added on the photos, I just wish to have this "DSLR" camera before the year ends.

We were greeted by the staff with a warm welcome at nakakatuwa pa ung receptionist, talaga namang English-ish galore. In fairness to her, she’s not trying hard though mas magaling pa kamo siya saken. Nag expect lang siguro ako na magtatagalog sila dahil alam nilang galing kaming Manila pero malaking pagkakamali. And since I am pure Bisaya, hindi ko na rin natiis na hindi magsalita, how I missed talking my mother tongue.

We will be staying the island for four days so we settled everything, we chose Deluxe Twin for a rate of P1,500/day with an inclusive of breakfast for all paying guests. And not to mention this lodge won Trip Advisor as one the best place to stay in Bohol. 

This is the aisle, simple yet patterned to the typical Filipino houses. Light green color with paintings showing the island tourist locations. The floor likewise looks like a shining armor. Pedeng pede nag magsalamin. 

So here’s the room. Sobrang laki niya para sa aming dalawa. One is a double size and the other is a single. It can actually accommodate up to five people. 

And who say’s selfie is outburst no more. Nah. Ginagawa ko pa rin yan ng palihim. Maganda ung ilaw medyo yellowish so perfect for portrait shot. The problem is I don’t have this perfect camera kaya magtiis sa mababang quality.

So literally the theme for this place is kinda vintage-traditional ish. It has only four floors so it doesn’t elevator that will lift you up and down. But it doesn’t matter, it’s not too high though, it’s manageable.

And here’s the inclusive breakfast. Marami na siya but if you want something more. I must say take order their specialty – Vest Chicken Adobo. The best ansarap, gusto ko nga sana magdala nun sa manila kaso 10am pa start ng order na hindi pang breakfast. So hindi ako nakadala dahil same time din ung flight naming pabalik. 

They also have mini gift shop, small bar, dining/entertainment room. You can surprise your loved one with something Bohol souvenirs. Their hotel gift shop carries different locally made clothing and authentic jewelry created by Bohol Tribe artists.
