We chose to stay in Bohol Bee Farm based on the recommendation of a friend. Also, there were hardly any negative comments about it in travel blogs.
We first stayed in Beehive Suite 1 (Php3000/night). Try to get another room if you end up with this one cuz the ambiance is a little off - dark, musty, damp (upstairs sink was dripping).
After two nights, we got transferred to another room- the Langka room (Php2500/night). This one's much better because it's very spacious. Two queen size beds. Airy and sunlight streaming in through the windows.
Trees shade a small verandah.
Breakfast was always good. This one's my favorite: waffle, ham and omelette. It comes with a choice of brewed coffee/ kapeng mais/ tsokolate and a glass of fresh juice.
Other meals were ok. Prices start from Php180. We tried the honey glazed chicken, spareribs, grilled fish, pasta. They usually give a complimentary serving of kamote bread with the bee farm spreads.
Bee farm has a viewing deck. Nice to stay here early in the morning when the sun isn't so hot. It's pretty quiet. I don't think swimming is a good idea but you can wade. Aqua shoes recommended because of sea urchins.
Overall, Bee Farm is a good concept. It's a place to relax and be still. It would be nicer to stay here when it's not raining too much. Keep in mind that it's a farm concept, so be prepared for mosquitoes, creepy crawlies and the like. If you have kids, I would recommend a day visit only or an overnight stay. If you plan to go out of the farm, transportation may be arranged at the front desk for a fee of Php500/vehicle - just a bring-to/ fetch-from arrangement. Tours start at Php2500.
At the end of our stay, Bee Farm was kind enough to charge us only Php2500 for the Beehive Suite.
