Bluewater Panglao Beach Resort

The Resort & Setting

Bluewater Panglao Beach Resort is a beachfront property on Panglao Island, part of the long-established Bluewater Resorts group in the Philippines. The resort is built around rooms and villas finished to a high standard, with some villas offering a private plunge pool, alongside two shared outdoor pools and an on-site spa. Guests consistently rate the property highly — it currently holds 4.7 out of 5 from well over 2,000 Google reviews, reflecting a strong, consistent standard across the rooms, grounds and service.

Panglao Island and the Wider Bohol Area

Panglao is one of the Philippines' best-known beach destinations, prized for fine white sand and clear, calm water right at the resort's doorstep. It's also a launch point for some of the country's best diving and snorkelling: Balicasag Island, around 7 km offshore, is a well-known marine sanctuary reached by a short boat trip and popular for its coral walls and sea turtles. Inland, Bohol province offers a completely different side of the Philippines — the cone-shaped Chocolate Hills, roughly 50 km away, and the centuries-old Baclayon Church, one of the country's oldest stone churches, both make easy day trips. Tagbilaran City, Bohol's provincial capital, is about 25 km from the resort and is where most visitors land, as well as a good spot for shopping, dining and errands.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Bluewater Panglao Beach Resort and are considering a change, BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. No commission is taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to post their ad.

Because Bluewater Resorts has not published verified figures for transfer fees, resale administration costs, or any right of first refusal on this property, we can't quote numbers here. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort's owners' association or management what the current transfer fee is, whether the resort or developer holds a right of first refusal, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and what the current annual maintenance fee is. A resale buyer should also clarify in writing exactly what they'll receive — usage rights at the home resort, any banked or deferred weeks, and whether any exchange network affiliation (if applicable) transfers with the week or needs to be re-registered separately.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for confirmed dates, clarity on which room or villa category they're booking (a standard room versus a villa with a private pool, for example), and a seller who can answer questions about the resort's pools, spa and beach access before they commit.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Most international visitors fly into Tagbilaran City Airport, then continue to Panglao by taxi, shuttle or rental car. December to February is Bohol's peak season, so rooms and rental weeks at the resort tend to go fastest in the months leading up to that window — worth bearing in mind if you're timing a listing. Outside peak months, the shoulder season from March to May and again from October to November can suit owners looking to rent out a week at a more flexible price point, as the weather is still favourable but demand is calmer.
