My Bohol vacation

My five‑day vacation felt far too short, especially knowing there are still so many places and experiences left to discover in Bohol. But as a working girl, the time I was able to spend here already felt like a luxury—made even more special by experiencing the beauty and comfort of Oceanica Resort.

It was the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and truly appreciate the moments that made this trip unforgettable.

This was a day‑tour package priced at ₱1,299 per person, which already includes access to the resort’s amenities and a family‑style lunch served with a majestic beach view.

Lunch with the view

There’s no need for advance reservations for the day tour—you can simply head straight to the front desk and let them know you’d like to avail of the day‑tour package with meals. While you won’t be able to choose the specific dishes included in the meal package, based on my experience, you won’t be disappointed.

The food served at our table was delicious and well thought out. The team clearly knows what works best for the package, and everything we had was satisfying and enjoyable. Overall, it was a great dining experience!

You’ll get to enjoy salad, barbecue, pasta, and a variety of seafood dishes, all paired with refreshing fresh buko juice—super satisfying!

I was so happy when the team set up our lunch at this spot—it felt special being right at the center, surrounded by the full beauty of the resort.

My day at Oceanica Resort didn’t end with our sumptuous lunch. Knowing it might take a while before I get the chance to return, I made sure to make the most of my remaining time. I enjoyed an hour‑long dip at the beachfront pool, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, and later treated myself to a chocolate shake at their seaside bar—the perfect way to wind down before leaving.

Even with the sunny weather, I genuinely enjoyed my time basking under the sun.

By 2.30pm we left and headed to The South Farm.
