Trip to a Tropical Paradise: Philippe Tarsier

Visited a beautiful place in Panglao Island, Bohol, Philippines-- Philippe Tarsier. It has a botanical garden, animal sanctuary, art museum, and cafe. We went on a tour around the area where we were shown around by our guide, May (who was a great guide), for just 300 pesos per person. Since we are locals, we get to pay lesser; for non-residents of Bohol it costs 500 pesos. I tell you, the fee is worth it. Not only will you feast on the beautiful sights of the place, you get to learn a lot of things the guide will be telling you along the way during the tour. The Philippe Tarsier has three areas-- Tarsier Botanika, Tarsier Exotika, and Tarsier Artistika.  Tarsier Botanika is a lush garden with many species of plants and and animals found locally and from different parts of the world. Tarsier Exotika is the resort's very own cafe with a menu which specializes in European recipes, particularly French pastry and bread making. Tarsier Artistika is a gallery of Asian, European and African artworks ranging from tribal, classical and modern movements. A restaurant is to open soon which is overlooking the seascape of Panglao which will be called Tarsier Paprika. There is also an arena where you can go horseback riding. The Tarsier Boutik is the  reception area cum boutique where you can choose from a variety of souvenir items and collectible trinkets.
One more thing, the service is excellent. The personnel are very courteous and polite. They will give you their warmest welcome with their best smiles and greetings.
The sights to see will get you leaving in awe with the eagerness to come visit again. Get your cameras ready, you won't stop clicking at every turn because it is a photographer's haven as well. This place is a must-go-to for locals and tourists alike. It will be an escape in a tropical paradise.
