Fox & the Firefly Cottages

Top choice in Bohol


From humble beginnings, this place has evolved into a legitimate river resort, with a dozen classy stand-alone and split-level cottages, well-manicured grounds and a lovely shoes-off restaurant. It's very much a base for paddleboarding on the Loboc River with SUP Tours, but birdwatching walks and mountain-biking trips (from P500) are also offered. It's a little southwest of Loboc's centre.
