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.
