Good evening first of all.
I am a resident foreigner living here in Bohol and I can say with in the past 6 years of my existence here on this lovely fault plume called Bohol the physically beauty of the place is nindote puro coming here as a tourist to stay in Bohol for a night or more it is heard time over time again that the two complaints that are heard are about the night life which is almost a zero and the prices of some of the resorts is steep indeed!
Even a foreigner may often complain about the prices that are being charged at these tourist destination places? "Grabi jyud" "Mahal Kayo"?
I have stayed in those resorts with these so called prices and you would expect to find the rooms clean and none smelling of cigarettes, or alcohol or yet alone often not even been aired out to allow the other occupancy's ahead of you to gawas their hot and heavy breath remnants that are still stagnating in the air that you can taste what they were up too?
uhg!
One place where I stayed in Panglao was amazing my shower drain had jet black (I will keep it clean) kinky hairs from the people before me and a partial of their condom wrapper still remained in the corner of our shower from the renters before us.
If your going to be paying these kind of prices as you normally would in an American resort and also expected to pay the same here most indefinably your room had better be down right clean and sanitized and smelling fresh.
Made my skin crawl even wondering about if the bed sheets had been changed before we paid for our room?
If Bohol really wants to become a full blown tourist destination they need to get more serious and offer more for their visitors to want to keep coming back here and also at reasonable with rates not price gouging rates.For example just because you see a foreigner and it causes you to have dollar bill signs "chinging" in your eyeballs it does not mean they are are loaded!
Do you think the one working in the hotel is getting paid American wages to keep your room clean? In America the hotel laborer's are making a minimum of $72.00 a day at 9 hour shifts. (P3,504,00) thats per day.
With charging the same rates as some of the resorts here. do you get my point?
Pay the Philippine workers what they are worth, treat them as real people and not just robots, what you put out reflects on the end result!
Love All! INGAT!!!
