Local knowledge for Panglao
Where to stay
Most budget hostels cluster around Alona Beach in Barangay Tawala, on the southwestern tip of Panglao Island. The strip running behind the beach has the densest mix of guesthouses and cheap restaurants, and since the dive shops and boat tours all leave from here, staying close means you skip extra transport costs.
Getting around
- Withdraw cash in Tagbilaran before crossing the bridge to Panglao. The few ATMs on the island run out on busy weekends and long holidays.
- Habal-habal motorbike taxis are the standard way to get around the island. Agree on a price before you get on, typically 50 to 100 PHP for short trips, and they will take you anywhere tricycles won't bother going.
- For a Balicasag Island snorkel trip, compare posted rates at two or three dive shops on Alona Beach before committing. Prices are fairly standardized and you will avoid paying a premium to the first person who approaches you on the sand.
When to go
June through September brings lower prices and fewer crowds as the rains arrive, while Holy Week in March or April and the Christmas-to-New-Year stretch push rates up sharply and beds in the Alona Beach area fill well in advance.
