Flushing Meadows: Bohol's Newest Attraction

One of the best parts of any getaway is the prospect of discovering something new with every place you visit. A classic example is Bohol, a convenient short ferryboat ride from Cebu that is simply a world unto itself.

Just 20 minutes from the airport and the pier of Tagbilaran City is Flushing Meadows Resort and Playground, a one of a kind paradise located in one of the most beautiful beaches in Dao, Dauis, Panglao Island.

At the recent blessing and formal opening of the luxurious resort, Managing Director Bernadette Jingco, Resort Manager Owen Ares, and Sales/Marketing Communications officer Marcie Abesamis warmly welcomed the guests of honor that included Governor Erico Aumentado, Bohol First District Representative Edgar Chatto, Mayor of Dauis Luciano Bongola, consultant Patrick Gregorio, Nelson Dy of Grand Hope Travel Cebu, popular movie star Cesar Montano who incidentally is a Boholano, and businesswoman Joy Uy.

The island's prominent members of the business, civic and social sectors who saw and experienced the resort's unparallel level of style and service attended the fabulous affair.

Keeping the party swinging all night were guests from Cebu such as Baby and Nelson Dy of Grand Hope Travel, Mario and Alice Queblatin of Southwinds Travel, Jenny Franco of Travelvision, Cecile and Odie Sa-a of Blue Horizon, Caloy and Sheila Colmenares of Leisure Travel, Marisol Barria of Marist Royal and my colleagues Mayen Tan, Nelia Neri and Mila Espina.

The fantastic celebration was a collaboration of an event planner and consultant with a tour specialist. The meeting of minds produced an evening of many superlatives, from ambiance, food and entertainment and perhaps best of all Flushing Meadows is the culmination of the finest amenities and superior accommodations.

And now, let us discover a little more about Flushing Meadows Resort and Playground. From the moment guests arrive, they become enchanted by the striking natural beauty and subtle blending of modern enchantments this unique resort offers.

With a breathtaking view of the Mindanao Sea and Pamilacan Island, where dolphins abound and whales occasionally surface, Flushing Meadows is a rare private domain with white sandy beach and landscaped gardens that are filled with exotic color, scent and sound.

Bungalow-style accommodations compliment the natural settings. Rooms are spacious and trimmed with dark wood furniture offset by rich floral curtains. The bathrooms feature extra deep baths with a glass enclosed mini garden. All rooms have air conditioning and interactive TV with selected satellite and local television channels, as well as radio stations. Flushing Meadows Resort and Playground is all about new standards. It is what a resort should be, with genuine service and hospitality.
