What to expect in Bellevue Bohol

Despite the 7.2 earthquake that hit Bohol two years ago, the laid-back island continues to grow as a popular tourist destination, steadily developing as per its master plan, which includes the pending completion of a new airport in Panglao Island in 2017.

Amid the influx of new hotels, the Filipino-owned Bellevue Resort in Bohol, which established itself in the island even before the earthquake, continues to thrive. Under the BH&R group, the Bellevue Resort Bohol has the distinction of being the first five-star hotel in the island.

Designed by architects Bong Recio and Paolo Alcazaren, the hotel feels modern, with traditional Filipino touches in materials and build, giving off a luxurious yet relaxed island vibe.

Only 40 minutes from the Tagbilaran airport, the Bellevue Resort welcomes guests with a fruity welcome drink. Its lobby is spacious with numerous sitting nooks and crannies, as well as a Lobby Shop for Bohol souvenirs, and other items for sale in their version of the “honesty store” a la Batanes.
