The birthplace of 5-star luxury in Panglao, The Bellevue Resort is the perfect fusion of a tropical island hideaway and undeniable luxury. Opened in 2012, The Bellevue Resort in Panglao, Bohol, was the first 5-star luxury resort at the time. Setting the standard on the island for the best service and the best amenities on its beautiful shorelines, The Bellevue Resort has continued to fulfill its mission of bringing you absolute island getaway perfection.
Beautiful Spot on a Beautiful Island
One of the resort’s highlights is its location. Situated right on the beach with its fine white sand, The Bellevue Resort boasts of a 250-meter shoreline. Offering endless views of the turquoise waters and the wide horizon, it is an absolute tropical paradise. The resort is a 3.5-hectare property on Doljo Beach, which is only minutes away from the newly opened Bohol-Panglao International Airport. Conveniently close to all of life’s modern comforts, yet isolated enough to give you a little bit of private paradise.

There are 7 different types of rooms at the resort, with a total of 155 rooms catering to different needs. Each room features WiFi access, LED TV with satellite/cable TV, Pod deck speaker, a minibar, in-room safe, private bath and shower with complete toiletries, as well as services that include room service, babysitting service, and laundry.
The Superior Twin Room
The smallest of all rooms, it features two twin beds, a private bathroom with bathtub, and floor to ceiling glass windows to give you beautiful views of coconut trees and the island. Despite being the smallest of all the rooms, the resort has made sure that every room is spacious and grand, with high ceilings and glass windows.

Bohol is known to be an island of culinary wonders but you won’t have to leave the resort to have a taste of world-class cuisine. The Lamian World Cuisine Restaurant serves up international and local dishes, both buffet and ala carte options. Daily buffet breakfast is also served here each morning from 7 am to 10 am, concocting a feast with endless options of international and local food to your liking. Don’t forget to get a taste of the local chocolate drink called “tablea,” and pair it with the restaurant’s soft ensaymada bread for a taste of local breakfast food.
The Bellevue also has a second restaurant, with a beautiful alfresco dining area where you get to enjoy the warm breeze from the sea. But if it gets too hot outside, the restaurant also features an indoor air-conditioned area. Whether you stay indoors or outdoors, dining at this restaurant will give you that whole beachside dining experience.
