Baclayon Bed and Breakfast Inn
If you’re a traveler with the South on your mind, most of the time you have Cebu or Bacolod or Tacloban in your mind. It’s only of late that people started looking at Bohol and it’s not just because of the chocolate hills.
The most interesting of places are actually those that are quite off the (beaten) tourist path. Baclayon , Bohol proved to be one of those good discoveries while on a seemingly tourist area.
Lodging has to be the first in all travel itineraries and Baclayon Bed and Breakfast was just perfect. The quaint little inn is situated in a nondescript place, quietly tucked away within an inner street – perfect for those who hate the sound of cars and other motorized machines outside their bedroom window. The inn has six rooms in total – making for a peaceful and relaxing yet very intimate environment. There are family rooms with two beds (One queen and a single) and double occupancy rooms. Each room has a balcony with a very nice view of the nearby beach.
The inn has a common dining area and a very “angled” pool that the guests can use anytime. 
If you’re not into pool dipping and sunbathing, you can just stay in the common area and enjoy their free wifi. (Although, seriously, you’re in another place vacationing, I hardly think that surfing the internet is a worthwhile thing to do.)
Breakfast comes with the accommodation and they can even plan trips for you during your stay – just be specific with what you want to see and do. I suggest you steer clear of the usual tourist activities (like the tarsier sightings, chocolate hills, etc) and just go see the Balicasag Marine sanctuary. Another suggestion would be the “Adrenaline” tripping. I’m not going to say much about that and just let you find out for yourself.

Take a walk round back and you’ll discover a quiet secluded tide beach. The mangroves growing there prevent the tide from coming in, making it a perfect wading ground for kids. The small tide pools reveal starfishes and other sea creatures caught in the low tide. Fishes play freely and if you’re up for it; you can bring small pieces of bread with you so you can feed them.
For lunch, you can ask the staff to go to the market and get fresh seafood for them to cook in any which way you want, for a minimal extra fee of course. Nothing beats eating fresh seafood with your hands. Call me uncivilized if you want but there’s something very primal and invigorating about eating with your hands.
The staff is friendly and accommodating and the ambiance is intimate and relaxed. Personally, I’d rather be here than in any high priced hotel.

Thanks for the post.
You’re welcome! Hope you visit the inn. It’s really lovely. A must see in Bohol would be the old convent and the church. Here’s a bit of Philippine history trivia: The Dauis church in Bohol is probably one of the few Catholic churches in Asia that still delivers mass in Latin. And get this, it’s actually an African American priest who does it: Father Joseph Skelton.
I’ve bookmarked this because I found it interesting. I would be very keen to hear more information on this. Excellent!

Thank you for your article! I think I know where to go when I visit Bohol now.
What other hotels can you recommend that we stay in that is low to mid range?
You can click on our categories for hotels and you’ll find some that we stayed in that are low to mid range in terms of price but they’re in Manila. There are a number of low to mid range hotels/inns in Bohol but we like BBB because if its very homey feel.

How you find ideas for articles, I am always lack of new ideas for articles. Some tips would be great

Thanks for the great ideas in this post! I’m glad to see that I’m doing several things right. I hadn’t thought about putting an interactive question in a post – nice tip. I’m pretty new at blogging and your site helped encourage me to get into some group writing contests, projects and carnivals – which I have thoroughly enjoyed! I can always count on your blog for some great ideas for taking things up a notch. It will be fun to think of some ideas for non-family related universal post topics. Thanks for such an informative post!
I really enjoy wine. I remember the first time I tried some when I was just 13 years old. My mom let me taste a bit of her red on Thankgiving. Right then and there I became a wine drinker. lol I would guess that I have tried quite a few hundred different wines over the years. It’s kind of fun tasting a new one and learning about how and where it was grown. I’ve been thinking about joining a wine club lately and I’ve been thinking about this 4 Seasons club. I read a review about it there. Have you had any experience with it, or would you recommend any other wine tasting club?
Hello Robert!
I absolutely agree with you when it comes to wine. I love wine and I personally gravitate to Pinot Noir and Shiraz. I know, it’s absolutely different wines with distinct personalities but I love them.
I did a post recently about The Wine Museum and they have wine tastings every first and third Thursdays of the month. Check it here.
I’ll research on more wine clubs for you.
Thanks for visiting and hope to see you here again soon!

Normally I find blogs through the comments that other blogger leaves on those blogs, and so it adds to it.
Hello, I found your blog in a new directory of blogs. I don’t know how your blog came up, must have been a typo. Your blog looks good, have a nice day.
Great job on the post! I’ll be visiting Bohol in a couple of months and will definitely go to Baclayon. I’ll be definitely staying over this place! Thanks!
