Bohol Island Get-a-Way at Eskaya Resort
In October we had a date night to attend the American Women’s Club of the Philippines annual Hoedown. There we won a free two-night stay at the resort Eskaya. Since we knew that we were relocating the beginning of January, we only had one weekend when we could use this vacation. Our kids skipped the last day of school, which was just a half day, so we could catch a flight to head to the island of Bohol and use our voucher at the resort. The shuttle ride from the airport was about 20 minutes and the resort was nice. Each villa had it’s own private pool, plus the main pool and the beach front. This was the third time that we were at Bohol, so we didn’t do the normal tourist sight-seeing things. Instead we hung out at the resort one day and went scuba diving the second day. On the third day we went to Church and then flew home. We don’t have many photos of this vacation since we were using our GoPro…and on our last dive the GoPro broke off the stick and fell to the bottom of the ocean. Good times.
Boarding the plane looked like this since they had the AirCon blasting, but it was hot and humid outside.
Getting ready to land in Bohol.
Eskaya Resort is on Panglao island of Bohol.
Blake liked the golf carts that we came across often and had to sit in them and “drive” for a while.
The main pool at Eskaya had a kiddie pool in front of the main pool. Basically our family was the only one using it during our stay.
If we didn’t want to be in the main pool, we could use our private pool that was just outside of our villa.
Mosquitos were a problem at the resort. We all slept under mosquito nets and the resort burned mosquito coils for all of the villas.
Before leaving the island, we found a local LDS church and attended their sacrament meeting, which happened to be the Children’s Primary Program, which was fantastic.
