The opening of South Palms Resort Panglao marks the beginning of an exciting reality: the way a Bohol beach holiday should be. South Palms Resort Panglao is a 9.3-hectare tropical enclave within a 45-hectare beach front property. This translates to a beach destination that boasts of crystal white sand and cobalt blue waters. Because of its size, the resort lays claims to having the longest beach in Panglao, which means that guests can frolic to their hearts' content. “With that amount of space, there is practically zero chance of guests bumping into one another. Here they will get to enjoy their beach holiday in a more private setting,” says South Palms Resort managing director Hope Marie Uy. The resort provides guests the easiest access to the beach. Once they are out of their room, they can go directly to the sand and sea. The place is designed in such a way that guests do not have to pass through a lobby nor go down an elevator to reach the beach. “This is our way of giving a no-fuss, no-hassle vacation for our guests,” Uy says.

South Palms Resort Panglao has 90 guestrooms and suites, all of them clean and comfortable. Guests can choose from such accommodations as: Deluxe Garden View, Deluxe Pool View, Deluxe Beachfront, Premium Beachfront, Beach Villa, Family Villa, and Panglao Villa. Guestroom features include a 32-inch LCD TV, cable, free Wi-Fi internet, mini car, coffee- and tea-making facilities, hot and cold bath, and in room safe. One advantage of staying at South Palms Resort Panglao is the myriad of choices that awaits guests. Yes, the resort offers options for its guests, allowing them to enjoy their vacation their way. For starters, there are two pools within the property, the East Pool and the Coast Pool. The Coast Pool is a couple of steps away from Oceanica Restaurant, which serves savory local and international cuisine.

The outlet promises top quality freshness at all times, from its steaks to its seafood. Imaginative food presentation is matched by unparalleled taste, indeed a welcome holiday treat. Speaking of treat, the resort offers a half board meals package, a special delight for guests who need not worry about their next meal. The fun also extends to the water, with activities designed to truly appreciate the unique marine attractions of Bohol. Diving, island-hopping, whale shark and dolphin viewing are just some of the must try activities. Winding down at South Palms Resort Panglao is likewise well-covered with a selection of treatments at Palm The Spa. Enjoy, relax, or even doze off to a relaxing hilot, Swedish, or hot-stone massage in a cabana by the beach or in the comfort of one's room.

Business-pleasure trips are welcome, too.

The resort has the Green Palm function room, good for up to 300 persons, theater style, while the Blue Palm can accommodate 80 people. The most modern equipment and amenities are available. Soon to come are a fitness center, a tennis court, a business center, a dive shop, and a souvenir shop.
