CLIMATE
Panglao Island is shielded from the harsh effects of tropical cyclones by mainland Bohol and the neighboring islands of Cebu, Mindanao and Siquijor. As in most parts of Bohol, it has a very nice, tropical climate without many variaions. The nicest period to stay in Bohol is from November to February, when the climate is slightly cooler, while during summer, which lasts March to May, the climate is slightly hotter than normal. Bohol does not have a very clear-cut dry season. It can rain any day of the year, but you can only experience heavy downpour from June to November.
CLOTHING
Lightweight cottons and linens are worm mostly throughout the year, but warmer clothes are useful on cooler evenings. It could be windy at times in the resort especially in the evening. A hat and shades help a lot especially during summer. Rainwear or umbrellas are advisable for the rainy season.
LANGUAGE
Filipino (Tagalog) is the official language. The local dialect is Visayan. Most Filipinos use English when speaking to foreigners.
