Going Around Eskaya Beach Resort in Bohol: The Infinity Pool

Previously, I shared a post on the villa we stayed in at Eskaya Beach Resort in Bohol. The resort is really not huge at all. As mentioned before, it consists of only fifteen villas, a majority of which are made for two. Of course, this kind of privacy and serenity is something that you’d need […]

Escape and luxury: these are the two most fitting words to describe Eskaya Beach Resort in Panglao Island, Bohol. This is exactly the type of resort you thought you’d only ever see in magazines.

What Did I Miss On Twitter?

There are four things that I missed today, on my fourth day without social media consumption: That Tito Sotto made an interesting speech about the RH Bill. I will need to research on that.

Anvaya Cove, Bataan: The Beach in May
