“We continue the Henann legacy of providing world-class accommodations and top-notch service. As the province celebrates ‘Visit Bohol 2015,’ it is only fitting we formally open our doors to the public this year,” said Dr. Henry Chusuey, chair of the Henann Group of Resorts.

Natural beauty
Chusuey chanced upon the Panglao property during one of his ocular visits in Bohol in November 2010. He was captivated by its natural beauty and saw its potential to be the next big tourist destination in the country. This led him to quickly strike a deal with the former Swiss owner.
The province of Bohol is centrally located in the Visayas region and is only an hour away by plane from Manila. Land transfers from provincial capital Tagbilaran City to Henann Resort Alona Beach takes 30 minutes.
Aside from the Chocolate Hills and the Philippine Tarsier, Bohol is also famous for landmarks and attractions such as the Dauis Church, Blood Compact Shrine, Magsaysay Camp, and Loboc River. Popular tourist activities include bird spotting in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, diving in Panglao Island and whale and dolphin watching in Bohol Sea.
