It was about 6 PM. I was alone, naked in a huge, fancy, and comfortable room at Amorita Resort in Bohol when someone knocked on the door. I quickly put on my robe (sosyal robe! haha) to check it out. I saw one of the hotel staff with a smile and said “Good evening sir, complimentary from our chef.”
Then he handed me a small box with nice decorations and prints. When I opened it, I saw four square-shaped brownies. Our dinner with my fellow bloggers and TPB staff was scheduled at 7:30 PM. The brownies looked and smelled so good, that I ate it all. haha!
That was so nice of Amorita. That was something different.
So it was time for our dinner. Amorita has set up a long table with lit candles, under the trees filled with lights like fireflies in the night. It could’ve been a romantic dinner for a couple, but we were a group.
It was the first dinner of the group. Our chance to really talk, bond, and get to know one another. I was part of the TBEX tour organized by the Tourism Promotions Board with travel bloggers from around the world. Our itinerary on our first day in Bohol was jam-packed so the ambiance was perfect for relaxing.
A few minutes later food was served. I couldn’t quite pronounce the names of some of the food haha! but it was delicious, from the appetizer to the main dish which was Paella Negra. The dessert was also good.
We finished our dinner with red wine and whisky. How about that? It was a nice evening filled with thoughts and experiences shared with fellow bloggers.

The Breakfast and the Pool
My favorite part of our stay happened the next day when we had our breakfast. Haha!
I love breakfast, so I really enjoyed Amorita’s wide array of dishes of longganisa, danggit, sausages, fried rice, and all. There were also some Western dishes and the soup was great.
After my breakfast, it was time to explore the resort, especially its pool which was just in front of the resort’s dining area. The amenities of Amorita are superb. Imagine lounging in front of this pool overlooking the view of the azure sea.
That day we explored Balicasag Island in Panglao, and after the snorkeling experience, it was such a refreshing feeling to dip and swim!
On our second night, someone knocked again on the door. Don’t worry I wasn’t naked at that time hahaha! Another box was delivered and I saw cookies inside. I ate all of it again. Haha!
Oh, Amorita Resort is one of the best resorts in Bohol. With its amenities and fantastic rooms, no doubt it is on the top when it comes to luxury.
Travel bloggers from different parts of the world.
But service is what Amorita sets apart from the rest. Those little things make guests feel extra special and well cared for. For some, the complimentary brownies delivered every night was just something expected from a high-end resort but the truth is, it was really special, something that will last and creates a good impression.
Service beyond the extra mile. Something that will make you feel that you would love to come back.
