On our recent trip to Bohol to accomplish an important family task, we paid a quick visit to Bohol Bee Farm in Dauis, Panglao Island, Bohol. It is a sprawling recreational complex where you could experience countryside living at its finest. It is famous among tourists for its bee products, enchanting surroundings and the scrumptious organic food served in its in-house restaurant. (Organic farming is an agricultural practice being promoted aggressively across Bohol province.)
Bohol Bee Farm is primarily composed of a big store (where they sell bee products, organic goodies, native bags and accessories and a lot more), a main function hall with two in-door swimming pools and sports facilities, several small function halls, barns, suites and bungalows ( for room accomodations), an in-house restaurant, spa rooms, open spaces with tables and chairs and a beach which is just a few steps away. (You know how clear Panglao water is, don't you?) It's like a small community where you can have peace and quiet away from the hustles and bustles of the city.
From the main gate where the signage is, Bohol Bee Farm is around half a kilometer away.It's best if you'll come in a private car or a hired van (a must for a whole-day Bohol tour!).Once you get there, you are welcomed by a spacious hall where various native products (hats, bags, accessories,etc.) are displayed. To the right is a quaint, little store where bee products and organic goodies line the shelves.
It was one hot Monday afternoon when Edwin, Albie, Adel, Jick2x, Jan2x and I trooped to Bohol Bee Farm. Most of us are first timers in the place so instead of just having our lunch there, we roamed around and took photos, from the corner of one of the function rooms to the beachfront and under the shady trees.
I learned that the farm accepts guests for an overnight or a three-day stay. It has room accommodations that range from P2,000 to P7,000 depending on package. All room accommodations include free breakfast, roundtrip shuttle from/to pier/airport, air condition unit, hot and cold shower, Cable TV and refrigerator. Having said that, Bohol Bee Farm is ideal for a weekend getaway, company outing, conference and even private functions.
When we had our lunch at the in-house restaurant located at the part nearest to the beach, I didn't expect to get awed. Who wouldn't if you got served with organic food that were not only healthy but also tasted great? Here are more photos to give you an idea:
Bohol Bee Farm is one of the very few places in the Philippines where you could experience sweet serenity. I said so because not only does it make you feel the unique vibes of the countryside, but it also lets you commune with nature and appreciate its wonders. Here, you could spend a day just by being your homey self. You could listen to the chirping of birds, sun-bathe by the beach, get a soothing massage at the spa center, eat gourmet organic food to your heart's content or just sit in one of the benches without a care in the world.
Definitely, I can see myself going back to Bohol Bee Farm next year. :)
