Flight
If coming from overseas, book a flight to either MANILA (MNL - Ninoy Aquino International Airport), CLARK (CRK - Clark International Airport), or CEBU (CEB - Mactan Cebu International Airport). If you are planning on flying to Bohol on the same day, make sure to allot enough time between transfers and double check what terminal the flights are in. It can take some time between terminals as they may not be physically connected/adjacent.
Flight
From Manila, Clark, or Cebu, you will have to take a domestic flight to Panglao, Bohol (TAG - Tagbilaran International Airport). The most common airlines into Panglao are Philippine Airlines, Air Asia, and Cebu Pacific. Another option from CEBU (CEB) is to take the ferry. You can take a taxi to the seaport and board a fast ferry to Tagbilaran. Estimated travel time on the ferry from Cebu to Bohol would be 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Hotel
This resort is right next to South Palms and shares the same shore.
Hotel
Villa Umi also shares the same shore as South Palms and Bohol Beach Club. It offers more affordable rooms but is still within walking distance.
Hotel
Bluewater Panglao is where our welcome dinner will be held. It is a 12 minute drive away from South Palms Resort where the reception will be but offers more affordable rooms for those interested.
Hotel
Dumaluan Beach Resort is right next to Bohol Beach Club and is still walking distance from South Palms. It provides more affordable room rates but is still in the same shore.
Hotel
Amorita is a nice luxury hotel on a cliff with beach access located along Alona Beach which is the busier shore in Panglao. This is a few minutes away from where the Welcome Dinner or the Reception will be, but the rooms and the resort itself comes highly recommended!
Hotel
Henann is a massive resort along the busier Alona Beach. It is a few minutes away from the Welcome Dinner and Reception venues. The resort itself has an amazing pool and the rooms are very modern! Henann is a popular resort chain in the Philippines - we have stayed in their other properties in the past and we highly recommend their brand!
Travel Note
Alona Beach is the more popular beach in Bohol where a lot of hotels, restaurants, and nightlife are located. Please note that South Palms Resort (where the reception is) is not along Alona Beach and some resorts like Bluewater (where the welcome dinner is) are also a few minutes drive away by land so be aware of this when booking accommodations! Panglao does not have Uber or Grab (rideshare apps) - be prepared to use the local mode of transportation to get around - the tricycle (think tuktuk)! We have used them to go around the island and they are pretty cheap. Hotels also usually have their own shuttle services for free or for a fee if not within their schedules. Renting scooters is also pretty popular in the island, if that is something you're interested in. Please note that we plan on providing transportation to and from certain spots on the day of the wedding and details will be sent out closer to the date.
