You can find budget, mid range, luxury hotels in the Philippines.
Budget hotels offer little more than a bed, four walls and a fan or small air-conditioning unit, although if
you’re by the beach, with a pleasant sea breeze blowing and the windows open, air conditioning isn’t
really necessary. If you do get a private bathroom it will only have cold water, and the “shower” is
sometimes little more than a tap sticking out of the wall producing a mere trickle of water. Breakfast is
unlikely to be included in the rate, though there may be a canteen or coffee shop on the premises where
you can buy food. At the higher end of the budget range, rooms are usually simple but can be
reasonably spacious, perhaps – if they are on or near a beach – with a small balcony.
Mid range hotels – There are plenty of mid-range hotels, mostly in towns and cities. The rooms typically
have air conditioning and a private bathroom with hot water, but they may not boast a TV or other frills.
Beach cottages in this bracket are usually quite spacious and will often have a decent-sized veranda too.
Most mid-range accommodation will feature a small coffee shop or restaurant with a choice of Filipino
and Western breakfasts that may be included in the rate; if it’s not expect to pay around P100–150.
Luxury – In Manila and Cebu as well as the most popular beach destinations such as Boracay you can
splash out on five-star comfort at hotels and beach resorts owned and operated by international chains.
The cottages at the most expensive resorts are more like chic apartments, often with a separate living
area. Many of these establishments include a buffet breakfast in the rate, and sports facilities and
outdoor activities are on offer, though you’ll have to pay extra to partake.

Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa is a beautiful resort-spa in Panglao Island which is at the southernmost tip of Bohol, Philippines. It is located halfway through Panglao along its coast facing Bohol Sea. It is a sprawling property which covers 16 hectares. Topography of the resort is varied. It has a gradually descending cliff, flat land, a ravine, caves and has a commanding view of the sea. On the higher ground of the resort, you can view a mountain with lush vegetation. The name Eskaya refers to the only known indigenous people of Bohol.
The resort is boutique in style which accounts for its exclusivity. Architecture of the building is decidedly Filipino with a splash of modern amenities. The thatched villas or “balai” in the dialect, are single-detached. These are built with sturdy construction materials, but the ample use of indigenous materials
for finishing like bamboo, cogon, and wood is emphasized. All of the villas have individual private swimming pools. The focal point of the resort is the infinity swimming pool which definitely blends with the sea at its bluest.
