An idyllic retreat in Bohol

There are idyllic places that simply take your breath away, where luxury beautifully blends with nature, and the impeccable service is incomparable.

Exquisitely built along a white beach marine sanctuary on an island dramatically bounded by massive rocks and interesting coral flowers, Flushing Meadows Resort and Playground in Dauis, Panglao Island, Bohol is such a place, a seventh heaven beyond compare.

True to resort life, water plays a prominent role in its landscape. Pleasurable pastimes include moments at the beach soaking up the sun or keeping cool on the infinity pool overlooking the breathtaking view of Mindanao Sea.

Meandering in such a blissful atmosphere, one finds peace and joy, relaxation and healing.

A secluded private domain with 35 bungalow-style accommodations that complement the natural settings, the rooms are spacious with dark wood furniture offset by rich floral draperies. They are equipped with all the latest amenities one can possibly wish for.

Flushing Meadows is without a doubt one of the most authentic expressions of beauty and natural diversity where the pace of life still reflects the small towns that populate the region.

At the recent blessing and formal opening, the resort’s managing director Bernadette Jingco, manager Owen Ares, and sales/marketing communications officer Marcie Abesamis warmly welcomed with genuine smiles all the invitees that were a merry mix of the business, tourism and social sectors.

Guests of honor were Bohol Governor Erico Aumentado, Representative Edgar Chatto, Dauis Mayor Luciano Bongola, popular movie actor and accomplished cinema director Cesar Montano, Grand Hope Travel general sales agent Nelson Dy, consultant Patrick Gregorio, and enterprising lady Joy Uy.

Well-wishers from the neighboring island of Cebu also attended the much-awaited event. They included top tour specialists, such as Mario and Alice Queblatin of Southwinds, Audie and Cecile Saa of Blue Horizon, Jenny Franco of Travelvision, Andrew Te of Globalink, and Marisol Barria of Marist Royal Holidays.

Manila celebrities like Tirso Cruz III, Cesar and Sunshine Montano, and Rustom Padilla provided all-night fun entertainment, treating everyone to a medley of old-time favorites, Filipino classics and popular tunes. Indeed it was a fabulous party.

Whenever you decide to visit the resort, you will certainly be captivated by its many charms, trust me.
