Bohol Bee Farm

If you are expecting a shiny, sterile environment like you get in some hotels, you will be disappointed in the Bee Farm. If you enjoy more rustic and organic areas surrounded by nature, you will definitely enjoy this place. The room we had was very large, with a deck overlooking the sea. It was incredible to sit on the deck at night and watch the fireflies (not a huge amount, but enough to keep us happy). The hotel really tries to keep with the reduce / reuse / recycle theme. They have a beautiful organic herb garden, a bakery on-site that makes great bread and muffins, and coconut ice-cream of various flavors. Even the rooms follow this theme - the soap tray was made from coconut shell, and the towel rack was made from driftwood. Our favorite activity was getting up early and beachcombing in the tide pools below the cliffs. After an hour of looking at fossil corals in the cliff face and various marine animals, we would head up to the restaurant for a delightful breakfast of waffles, fresh fruit and squash muffins. And at the end of the day, the super comfortable king-size bed was waiting for us. Occasionally, you may hear the geckos but otherwise it was extremely quiet.
