Blue green waters slowly flowed along the Loboc River. I emerged from one of the tropical rooms of Loboc River Resort and sat on a chair similar in design to rocking chairs of old. I took a moment in that shaded corner of the elevated veranda; the view was serene, a perfect sanctuary for tourists wanting to have a quiet time while in the land of the Chocolate Hills.

It was only our first day in Bohol, but our group was hopping like crazy across the municipalities of the province. From Tagbilaran to Baclayon (Astoria Bohol Resort), Corella (Philippines Tarsier Wildlife Sanctuary), and Alburquerque (Sta. Monica Church), we were now at Loboc, a town famous for its river cruise. We weren’t here for that though, we visited to check one of the most uniquely situated resorts this side of Bohol.
