Compared to Boracay, Panglao is much more sober with a few bars and restaurants in Alona Beach. The recent tourism boom led to the construction of a handful of inns and hotels in Panglao, suited to almost any budget. The recent surge of tourist arrivals, Panglao may just be headed in the same direction as Boracay.
Panglao Island may not be exactly Bohol’s answer to Aklan’s Boracay. What Panglao lacks in the number of bars and restaurants it makes up in the astounding marine species in its waters.The recent Panglao Marine Biodiversity Project yielded 250 new species of crustaceans and 2500 species of mollusks, to add to the great range of biodiversity present in Panglao’s waters.
It is known that the number of marine species in Panglao is greater than the number found in Japan and in the Mediterranean Sea.
