The Buzz Cafe by Bohol Bee Farm

Offering the best view when dining along Alona Beach, The Buzz Cafe is a beachfront restaurant of the famed Bohol Bee Farm. Every time we say we're dining elsewhere for variety's sake, our feet always lead us towards The Buzz Cafe which is just a mere 5-minute walk from Henann Resort. The ground floor is a shop that sells organic beauty products, spreads, dips and salad dressing, breads, pastries, ice cream and souvenirs which are mostly honey based and bee inspired.

Taking the stairs to the 2nd floor will lead you to the al fresco dining of The Buzz Cafe. Best seats in the house are by the large windows where you can have an unobstructed view of the ocean and the waves crashing to the shore. Apart from the unique yet homey interiors, I love how welcoming the staff are that you'd never feel unwanted and hurried out if you wish to stick around longer.

What we ordered

Guyabano and Mango Shake

Complimentary Bread with Pesto and Mango Spread

Fresh Lumpia

Carrot and Squash Muffins

Shrimp Pasta

Organic Fresh Salad

Seafood Lasagna

Grilled Sugpo with Red Rice

Dining at The Buzz Cafe only proves that healthy can be delicious too! Although the dishes were good enough for sharing, we make it a point to order at least two dishes per seating to try as much food as we can. To guarantee its freshness, all dishes are cooked by order so prepare to wait especially if the place is packed. Prices were a bit more expensive as compared to the menu from nearby restaurants but the view from our table is definitely worth paying for the difference.

Goodbye Bohol, see you again soon!

How Henann Panglao Turns Magical at Night

Henann Resort Alona Beach surely is a lovely place during the day (click here) but wait until you see it at night time. I had to make a separate post to feature how the resort turns magical once the sun sets down and the lights take over to transform Henann to a place you only see in magazines.

The biggest convention center in Bohol, I can just imagine how many companies will flock Henann in the coming days being the perfect place to work during the day then play and relax at night fall.

CS and I had dinner at the resort's beachfront restaurant, Sea Breeze Beach Club on day one. Apart from breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet, they also offer ala carte Asian and Western food at affordable prices. Budget per person ranges from Php300 to Php500 per person.

Mango Shake

Choco Banana Shake

Mushroom and Cheese Pizza

Honey-mustard Chicken Pasta

And now, I will let the photos speak for themselves -- the stunning Henann Panglao at night.

Besides the world-class facilities and topnotch service, Henann Resort's location is one major draw why I consider it to be the best resort in Panglao. Conveniently located along Alona Beach, a 5-minute walk will get you to rows of more affordable resorts, shops and restaurants if you wish to dine by the beach. As majority of tourists and shop owners in Panglao are foreign nationals, cuisine is as diverse as their culture giving travelers more options to choose from.

Grilled Sugpo

Roast Pork Loin

Bohol is truly an underrated destination. This is just my second time in Bohol and I must admit that before this particular trip, my appreciation to its beauty is bordering minimal. I thought I'd seen it all when I first traveled back in 2010 but Henann Resort showed me how wonderful and amazing this side of Panglao is. It is really more fun to travel in the Philippines!
