Tourist Spots

Here are some favorite destinations, beaches, dive spots in the Philippines:

Boracay Island, arguably the best resort in the world, is located at the northwestern tip of Panay across PALAWAN Islands, in the West Visayas Region, off the Sibuyan Sea. Boracay has managed to pack its thousand-hectare area with all the elements of a tropical paradise -- crystal blue waters, powder white sand, liberal doses of tropical palms and flowering plants, and a healthy marine life underneath the seas.

 

Dakak Park Beach Resort is located on the sunny white beach facing the exotic turquoise Sulu Sea. The 750 meter private beach is blanketed with purepowdery white sand. Natural spring water and tumbling waterfalls feed the resort's twopools, whilst the ultimate hideaway is provided at a private open-air jacuzzi where youcan relax in the sauna and whirlpool amidst an atmosphere of blissful solitary refinement.

Bohol, Philippines dubbed as “God’s Little Paradise” <http://www.bohol.ph> showcases the attractions that make Bohol a favorite summer hideaway for locals and foreigners alike. It has information about each town in Bohol, the culture, articles and press releases that featured Bohol, a business directory, a photo gallery, travel and accommodation arrangements overviews, suggested activities that can be enjoyed in the island, and downloadable screensavers of tourist attractions.

The Chocolate Hills are some 1268 eerie hillocks, ranging from 20 to 50 metres in height, which dominate the landscape for miles around. In summer months, their grass covering dries out, turning them a 'Chocolate' brown, hence their name. In the morning if you can watch the sunrise over the mysterious landscape. As it rose, it will gradually illuminate the fields exposing the awe-inspiring surroundings of Bohol; surely one of the most stunning natural backdrops in the world.
