Mike is promoting Bohol. And I'm interested to visit Panglao. I have heard about Panglao Nature Island Resort. How many rooms does this resort have. How much is the cost for each room. i am planning to bring some friends. Will someone please tell me how much it will cost if I occupy the whole resort  for one day. I know the prices are seasonal. Just give me the average approximate amount. Thank you very much.

Thank you sea princess. I sent an email to one of the sales agents. Let us see if she will entertain me. Because until now, I havent got any reply to my email at Panglao Island Nature Resort. Everything is relative. $15,000 is good for just 1 suite here in the states. While if you spend it in Bohol, you can have the whole resort. Anyway, I am not in a hurry. For now, I'm just scouting.

Sea Princess,

Now I know what you mean what a hassle it is to reserve rooms. So I am sharing this with you

In a message dated 2/15/2008 3:27:17 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Different rooms have different rates so please refer to the rate sheet.

I answered

Oh my GOD. Do you understand english. You make me feel stupid. I know that different rooms have different rates. If you were my employee, I would fire you. I did not ask for room rates. I am not reserving one room. I want to occupy the whole resort. Now please tell me how many rooms you have in all. And give me the total price of all the rooms. If you don't know your math, then don't bother answering me.

I know I am being rude. But she made me feel so stupid. I made it clear to her that I want to reserve the whole resort not just one room. Was I right to send her this reply?

Hello Mr. Fortune,

As noticed you really need much privacy for that scheduled holidays in Bohol. We have lot of luxus/expensive hotels offered in Panglao island same as what PrincessasaDagat recommended to you.  Had heard from reliable source of informations that Flushing Meadows got a reasonable prices equivalent to their offered services.  You can also contact Escaya SPA Resort that if you really needs more mental meditation and physical relaxation. Of course, they have a sky-high prices too.  I've been staying before in Bohol Beach Club, the white beach sorrounds is perfect for sun bathing  and some business interruptions.  Hence, money is not a problem for you Mr. Lucky man then there could be no incovenience in your part to find the best of all in which your heart desired, right?

In the future, to avoid unwanted  stress due to gap of communications....Sir, why not hiring a Secretary to make some hotel verifications and reservations? Happy Holidays!

Here are some photos taken last Dec. '07 - Jan. '08 home vacation for proper info.

Dear Fortune,

Many businesses in the Philippines lack customer care. They have not realized that the existence of a business solely depends on the patronage by its customers. Many times a business would treat you rudely and you had to beg first before they pay you attention.

I remember booking a ticket in a travel agency in Tagbilaran. I was ignored. I tried to speak but no one entertained my inquiry.

Was it because I was just wearing shorts when I came in their travel office?

Personally, I admire the business firms in America. The server of Tubag Bohol is located in California. Whenever I have a problem that I can't fix myself, the company would always come to rescue me. I asked many questions and they always answered my email promptly. At the end of every email, the customer care representative would always say: "Mike... should there be any other concern, please don't hesitate to contact us again."

I hope our Philippine businesses would improve the way they handle clients/customers.

Everyone is intrigued by Balong. And now my friend BK thinks Balong is me. I would love to meet this guy Balong. Anyway, I consciously imitate Balong's style of writing . He is a "fun" guy. Always funny. A ladies man. I would love to be a ladies man also but I don't have much time. I hope through this website I can find the girl of my dreams.

sakto jud ka Mike, I personally had that experienced, niuli ko sa Bohol 3 years ago, I went to BPI kay naa ko account sa pinas sa una nga nahimong dormant account since there was no activity on that account for 3 years. so dli ma withdraw ang kwarta sa ATM. So I talked to this lady at the bank nya ipasa na pod ko sa lain, bottomline is gipasa pasa ra ko hantud ni abut ko sa manager. unya ang manager gibasa-basahan ra tawn ta newspaper dugay kaayu hantud gipangayu-an ko akoa accout number istrikto pa kaayu.. nya pina-ingun dayun " aw dong, dli mi katabang nmu ani. dapat adtu ka sa cebu kadtu gi-openan nmu ani nga account kay sila ra pwede mo lift sa dormant status ani nga account".  sus ti-aw mo na mura tingali ug 3 ka oras ko ddtu nya wla diay abut akoa paghuwat-huwat. or tungud ba kaha kay yano ra ko kaayu. abi ba kay nka tshirt , cargo pants ug tsinelas ra ko ingnun ana nalang diay nila pagtagad.
that was a very frustrating experience.

so niadtu ko sa Cebu, ddtu akoa gi withdraw tanan imbes kay akoa ra ipa activate balik ang account arun magamit ang ATM. gibalhin nalang nko ug lain nga bank. nasayangan ang bangko kay pwera buyag  busog pod to nga account.  akoa ingnan ang manager na wla man gud ayu inyu pagserbisyu sa inyuha customer. disappointed kaayu ko sa BPI sa bohol. mao ya ko ingnan i could write daw a complaint if i wanted to. pero kapoi na..usik usik lang na akoa oras.

Bol_anon ko, your experience has been reechoed by many other Filipinos. Ang nakaparat ani kay kung foreigner gani ang customer lami kaajo ug tinagdan ang office.

Kinsa tong mag-business sa Pilipinas ug gusto mong mo-asenso, invest on customer care, and you will wipe out all your competition. For now, that's the secret in gaining dominance over any niche market under Philippine scenario.

in regards to Customer Service most pinas businesses dont recognize the value of proper and fair customer service.

  - naa pod koy kaila.. nga dri na gud to cya sa US. He owns one of the farmlands sa California. i would say kwartahan jdu pod. i think this happen way back 1994-96. highschool pako adtu. he was building a house for his parents. nya ni adtu cya sa robert malmis ba to?..bsta kay one of the big hardware store sa tagbilaran, nya naka tsinelas ug short ra cya.. pag abut nya ddtu ubay -ubay sad ang customer hantud naghuwat ra jdu cya sa iyahang turno.. iya nalang na notice nga diha jud ay 2 person nga sure cya na una jdu cya.. pero one of that person was a known political figure sa tagbilaran, and the other one was kanang may dating sa porma daw..kwartahan ug dating ba.. nahibung nalang cya nga gi atiman na ang order sa duha ag cya gilabay-labayan pa gihapon...  sa iyang kapungot iyang gihuwat jud nga atimanun cya...sa dihang gi atiman na cya he placed his orders but before he paying it he cancelled his  orders.  nya ingun ang baye nganu man sir.. ingun cya " yaya kaayu mo serve ug customer nya pili-an pa jud mo. abi ba kay naka short ug tsinelas ra ko" he cancelled his orders worth 700,000 pesos worth of materials.. mao tong ang manager mismo ni anha nya gi abi abi cya nganu daw.. mao sulti cya wla ayu ni imu employees dri mamili ug kinsay unhan ug atiman. suya kaayu ang manager daw... maayu ra pod arun katilaw cla ba..

Since Bohol is heading for a full blast Tourism Industry, we Boholanos should anticipate this event by exposing ourselves to its technicalities and gather ideas about how this industry works.

I have a very important marketing lesson to teach you folks.

The hotels Fortune has inquired in Panglao are trying to “create buzz”. They are imitating a formula from world renowned resorts/hotels, “jacking up prices”, in hope of getting attention from Forbes Magazine and other travel magazines. They are targeting the niche market such as Dignitaries, CEOs, Celebrities,…etc.
But neither Forbes is buying their trap. None of Philippine’s best resorts are listed among the top 50 worlds most luxurious. According to Forbes, the most expensive hotels range from $1,395 (benchmark) to $5,000 a night (food and alcohol charged separately).

So, what do you get from $15,000 besides vintage French wine, food and laundry? PGMA performing a striptease? Obviously this price is too extreme and unrealistic?
At this price, you should be surrounded by staff that never says no. But I doubt if our Panglao resorts could meet the standards, because according to our friend “Fortune”, they are not even answering emails.

One time, I booked an exclusive suite for our VP’s meeting in one of the hotels in Italy. The next day, I received a welcome note with catalogues, calendar & diary set, couriered to our door-step.

Below are some of the most expensive hotels/resorts:
1. Frégate Island Private in the Seychelles where Bill Gates was once a guest – Price withheld.
2. The Wakaya Club in Fiji, also Bill Gates was once a guest – Price withheld.
3. The Mansion at the MGM Grand in Florida Keys  - $5,000 room rate only.
4. Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys - $1,395 inclusive laundry.

If you want to rent an entire resort, try Musha Keys of the Bahamas or Richard Branson’s Necker Island.

Mike and all,

Kaning customer care or good customer service mao gyod ni ang dakong kulang sa atoang nasod. Kon makapuyo kana dire sa Europa ug sa America anha nimo manoticed kaayo ang diprensia. Kon naa kapa sa Pinas di kaayo ni nimo manoticed or morag accepted naba nga ingon anaon kara pagtagad. Pero kon nakaexperience kana nga dire sa laing nasod bisan unsa pa imo gisout ug bisan wa pakay panudlay or panotbrush ila ka tagdon tinood kay dire mao niy key sa ilang success.

Kusog kaayo ang competition dire and most of the business firms are doing their very best to serve every customer the best care.

Ang mga bangko dire dunay kape, capuccino, tea, cookies, playroom sa mga bata..naa tanang service para mafeel comfortable ka sa imong pagsulod ug paghulat.

Pwede ra gani bisan wa kay tuyo mosod karas bangko para mangsnacks.:-)

Maayo gyod ilang service dire kay kon wala, na walay mosod nimo nga customer.
Ug dire di ka nila tan-awon head to foot kon kaaford kaba. Bisan pag mora kag nawong wakwak ila ka tagdon. ha..ha..

I just discovered this while browsing. This is at the low end of the spectrum . VERY CHEAP . I'll consider it if they will give good service. So anyone who has a favorite resort, please give me more info. I dont care too much about the prices. Everything in Bohol is well within my price range.

My budget for a 1 day stay in a resort in Bohol is a million pesos. I think Panglao Island Nature resort and Flushing Meadows are at the top. It's still very much within my price range. So anyone here who has a resort to promote, just tell me. I'll take everything into consideration. Thank you.

grazie tungud cguro kay nka tsinelas ug tshirt ug short rako.. huna-huna cguro sa manager 100 pesos ra sulod or minimum...   mao wla na cya maghago pa... 

oh i had another experience.. this one made me realize how impractical some of us are...  3 years ago niuli ko since my grandma died..  nya tungud kay verizon paman akoa fone adtu.. so dli magamit ddtu ang akoa fone..   timing sad my brother still has his old 3210... niadtu ko tagbilaran..  palit ko bag-o na sim nya pa load ko.. sa dhang ngpaload nko.. murag eload man cguro to akoa gipalit..  ang nagbaligya adtu  was a cashier or sales lady sa isa sa mag pawnshop.. murag sideline man cguro to nya...  when she saw my good old 3210 .. ingun sya "mao na imoha cellphone? daan naman kaayu na oi?" so i peeked at her window and look at her fone.. she had 2 cellphones.. one was a NOKIA N92 or 91... bsta top of the line to sya during that time and the other one wa a SONY Ericson phone.. mga mahalon ug fone.. so i jokingly said.. "dli ko ka afford palit ug new fone" and she replied "pwede bya ka kuha nindot nga fones nya bayad lang ka monthly or ipadeduct sa imoha monthly salary.. bsta kay naa ka work sad"? i think one of the establishments in tagbilaran offered this type of loan..

what im getting at is.. mao dghan maglisud sa atua tungud kay most people are impractical.. i dont think so working as a cashier or sales lady gets u paid that much to buy such high end phones..  2 pa kabuok.. i dont mean to discriminate but obviously she was living beyond her means...

Jez, I had the same experience with Metrobank. I had enough money sa bank pero na dormant siya after 2yrs. Then sa time nga akong gipa update akong passbook, na shock nalang ko nga ang akong money sa bangko nga sobra sa maintaining balance perte nang gamaya. Kay tungod diay nga gi sigehan ug deduct ang akong kuarta kay na dormant na kuno. I was so angry kay wala gyud ko ka receive ug letter or email to warn about the deduction of my money. Or bisan namang lang updates or follow-up letter if I still want to continue my account aron man lang masalbar ang akong kuarta.

What I did was I sent a complaint letter, unya na refund ang uban amount pero nakuhaan gihapon ug dako sa uban charges. After adto akong gipa withdraw tanan ang kuarta and nag transfer ko ug lain nga bangko.

Haze, naa jud na bank charge for dormant accounts and if it reached to a certain period, i award nang imong balance sa government, which is what we call Escheat Account  but after 10 years pa.  (Notice the word cheat in that term? )  Anyhow, you should have had received the monthly statement kay system generated man na sya.  They don't email clients or give special letters but there's that system generated bank statement and notification that your account is dormant na and that they are gonna charge you monthly fees.

I haven't received any of those monthly statement, Graz. Not even once. That's why I felt cheated.
