Bohol's BEST Luxury Suite: New Horizon's Super Deluxe Duo-A Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the deep blue of Bohol's BEST Luxury Suite: New Horizon's Super Deluxe Duo-A Awaits! And let me tell you, after spending a week pretending I had the budget of a tech mogul, I’ve got opinions. Real, messy, human opinions.
First Impressions (and a Confession!)
Okay, full disclosure: I’m not a luxury-suite kinda gal. I'm usually wrangling a backpack and a questionable budget. But, hey, life is short! So, I went in expecting… well, pretentiousness. And maybe a touch of boredom. I was so wrong.
Accessibility (and My Clumsy Adventure!)
Right off the bat, Accessibility is key here. The whole place felt surprisingly navigable, even for someone who spent half her time tripping over air. Elevators whirring, ramps where you'd expect staircases…it felt genuinely designed for everyone, not just the able-bodied. I even saw a wheelchair user effortlessly zipping around the pool area – a definite win. Kudos, New Horizon. You made this klutz feel… well, at least not completely out of place.
The Suite Itself: Oh. My. God.
Let’s get to the good stuff, the Super Deluxe Duo-A. Okay, picture this: I walk in. Giant, sweeping windows. The ocean is practically in the room. My jaw literally dropped. I’m talking blackout curtains for when you need a nap after too much sun (needed that every day, truth be told).
- Available in all rooms: Air conditioning? Check. Alarm clock? Check. Oh, and a mini-bar stocked with… wait for it… my favorite sparkling water! (Important stuff here, people).
- Bathroom Bliss: The private bathroom was… well, it had a separate shower/bathtub. The bathtub? Huge. The bathrobes? Fluffy heaven. I spent a solid hour just existing in that tub. Just, floating. It was glorious.
Internet and Tech Stuff: Keeping up with the Joneses (or Not!)
- Internet access – wireless: Free Wi-Fi throughout the suite? YES! More importantly, it actually worked. I’m a sucker for a good episode of something on Netflix, and I needed to keep up with my clients.
- Internet access – LAN: They have Internet [LAN]. But, who am I to know what's that?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Foodie's Fairytale (Mostly!)
Alright, let's talk food. Because let's be honest, that's half the fun, right?
- Breakfast [buffet]: The buffet in restaurant was massive and actually decent. Good coffee/tea in restaurant. Plus, I'd order breakfast in room as a special treat a couple of times.
- Restaurants: Multiple restaurants with a variety of cuisines, including Asian cuisine in restaurant and Western cuisine in restaurant. They even had a Vegetarian restaurant!
- Snack bar & Poolside bar: The Snack bar saved my midday cravings, and the Poolside bar…well, let's just say I developed a healthy relationship with their cocktails. Happy hour? I was there. The bottle of water, constantly supplied, a godsend in Boracay's heat.
- Room service [24-hour]: Room service? YES! You can order everything you need!
Now, here’s a confession: The desserts in restaurant… I might have sampled everything. My waistline is still recovering. (Worth it!)
Relaxation and Rejuvenation: Spa Days and Beyond!
Spa, Gyms and Stuff: The Spa was divine. Forget the world for a few hours. The Gym/fitness was pretty high-tech (and, ahem, underutilized by yours truly).
Pool with View: The swimming pool [outdoor]? Absolutely stunning. Pool with view is right! I felt like a movie star.
My Favorite Thing: The Massages: The massage was absolute heaven, the kind that melts away all your stresses.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Deep Breath of Relief
I'm a germaphobe, so this was HUGE for me. Seriously, the Anti-viral cleaning products, the rooms sanitized between stays made me feel safe and relaxed.
- Safety and Security: CCTV in common areas and Security [24-hour] made me feel safe.
- Hand Sanitizer: Hand sanitizer everywhere!
Services and Conveniences: Little Touches, Big Impact
- Facilities for disabled guests: They have Facilities for disabled guests!
- Daily housekeeping: Daily housekeeping was a lifesaver.
- Concierge: The Concierge were a godsend, organizing everything from transport to giving me insider tips on where to find the best… well, everything.
- Cashless payment service: Cashless payment service! So convenient.
Things To Do & Getting Around
- Airport transfer: Airport transfer so easy.
- Taxis: Taxi service available.
What Could Be Better (Because, Let's Be Honest!)
- Pet Woes: I would've loved to bring my furry friend, but Pets allowed unavailable. Disappointing for the pet lovers among us.
- Getting Overwhelmed The sheer vastness of everything. I'm not saying it's a problem, I just felt a bit like I was in a different universe for a few days.

Bohol Blowout: New Horizon and Existential Dread (and Deliciousness!) – A Messy Itinerary
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-pressed travel brochure itinerary. This is the real deal. I'm talking sweat, sunburn (inevitable), questionable food choices, and the existential dread that always creeps in when you actually stop to enjoy life. We’re heading to Bohol, Philippines, and specifically, the glorious (hopefully) New Horizon Studio Type Super Deluxe Duo-A. Emphasis on the "Super Deluxe," because, honey, after the life I've been living, I deserve a decent bed.
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and Adobo Dreams
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The airport. Oh, the airport. Endless queues, questionable air conditioning, and the silent judgement radiating from every perfectly coiffed traveler. After a flight that felt longer than the reign of Queen Victoria, finally landed in Tagbilaran. Finding the pre-booked shuttle was surprisingly easy. The driver, bless his heart, had a perpetual smile and smelled faintly of coconuts. Always a good sign, right? The drive to New Horizon was… scenic. Mango trees, rice paddies, and the occasional brightly painted jeepney battling for road supremacy. My inner monologue: "Am I really doing this? Am I going to eat too much and then regret it? Will I remember to pack my sunscreen?"
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Check-in. New Horizon. The "Super Deluxe Duo-A" looked… promising. More importantly, it had air conditioning. I collapsed onto the bed, which thankfully wasn't lumpy, and briefly considered staying there forever. But hunger pangs, the relentless enemy, dragged me from my blissful inertia.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Lunch! Found a little carinderia (local eatery) nearby. Decided to go native and ordered adobo. People, let me tell you, it was a religious experience. Tender pork, rich savory sauce, rice… I ate until I thought I might explode. My brain was screaming, "This is life! This is what it's all about!" My stomach was gently pleading for mercy.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Exploring the local area. Aimlessly wandered around, got slightly lost, sweated profusely, but eventually found a mini-mart. The local ice cream flavors were… interesting. I went with the ube (purple yam), which was as vibrantly colored as my rapidly fading tan. Sat on the porch of my "Super Deluxe" digs, people-watching and feeling a weird mix of contentment and simmering anxiety.
Day 2: Chocolate Hills, Tarsiers, and the Trauma of Tourist Traps
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The Chocolate Hills. Ah, the Chocolate Hills. They're… hills. Chocolate-colored. Pretty. The photos don’t lie. The drive there? Scenic, albeit a little jarring as we weaved through the bumpy roads . Then came the observation deck. Packed. Swarming with selfie-stick wielding tourists. A wave of mild panic washed over me. Did I really need to see this? Yes, I did. But, ugh, the crowds. Took some obligatory photos, avoided eye contact with anyone, and retreated to the relative serenity of our van.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Lunch at a restaurant near the Chocolate Hills. Food was… okay. The view, however, was excellent. Overpriced, but excellent. Ordered something vaguely resembling chicken. Ate it. Moved on.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Tarsier sanctuary. The little primates! So cute. So tiny. Felt a surge of protective instinct. Watching them cling to the branches, blinking their enormous eyes, was surprisingly moving. It felt like I was watching a tiny, furry version of my own existential crisis (minus the cuteness).
- Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Dinner and a questionable massage. Found a restaurant that promised "authentic Filipino cuisine." It was… edible. The massage afterward? Intense. The masseuse seemed to be trying to knead the very life force out of me. I may or may not have yelped. Regretted over-tipping. Walked back to the "Super Deluxe" room and crashed.
Day 3: The River Cruise, Waterfalls, and Deep Fried Delights
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Loboc River Cruise. Finally, a decent idea! The boat ride was pleasant, the scenery stunning, and the buffet, despite my initial skepticism, was actually pretty good. Food, music, and all-around good vibes. For an hour, I was genuinely relaxed. Then came the karaoke. Everyone takes a turn on the Mic, but the songs were, by and large, just a bit too “pop” for my taste. I contemplated leaping overboard. I didn't. Instead, I ate another lump of rice.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Waterfalls. The cascading water was beautiful, the air thick with humidity. Chatted to some people at the site about everything and nothing. It's moments like this that remind me why I love traveling.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): The pursuit of the perfect fried banana. It consumed me. It was all I thought about. I stopped at three different vendors, each promising the ultimate fried banana experience. Each one was… okay. Not life-altering, but definitely satisfying. I ate three. My stomach, by this point, was a battlefield.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Return to the “Super Deluxe”. Order room service. Consume it in bed. Watch trash TV. Wonder if this is what "peak vacation" looks like. The conclusion: It's pretty damn good.
Day 4: Panglao Island, Beaches, and the Bitter Taste of Leaving
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Panglao Island. The beach. The sand! The turquoise water! I feel like this is what paradise is supposed to feel like. Spent the morning swimming, sunbathing… mostly just staring at the ocean and contemplating the vastness of existence. The perfect antidote to my overthinking.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): More beach time. Lunch at a beachside shack; Fresh seafood! Sunburnt, sandy, and blissfully content.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Packing. The dreaded task. Did I buy enough souvenirs? Did I get enough "me time?" Probably not, but what's new? A wave of sadness washed over me as I looked at the "Super Deluxe" room for the last time. It had become a temporary sanctuary.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Farewell dinner. Ate at a fancy restaurant; I ordered a proper meal for one reason and one reason only: to savor the last flavors of Bohol before I embarked on the long journey back to the airport. My final thought: “Bohol, you glorious mess, I’ll miss you.”
Day 5: Departure and the Aftermath of Memories
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 AM): The airport. The endless wait. Contemplating life.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): On the plane. Remembering. Planning my next adventure.
Overall Rating: Bohol: 8/10. A definite improvement from my last vacation.
Final Thought: Despite the crowds, the questionable food choices, and the persistent anxiety, Bohol was a triumph. I needed the escape, the solitude of staring at the ocean, and the reminder that sometimes, all you need is deep fried banana. And a "Super Deluxe" room. Obviously.
Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Namhae Pool Villa Awaits!
Okay, spill! Is this "New Horizon's Super Deluxe Duo-A" suite in Bohol REALLY worth it? I'm used to the Ritz, you know?
Tell me about the *actual* room. What's the vibe? Cleanliness? Is it stuffy?
Food! Is the in-room dining any good? I'm a foodie. Also, what about breakfast? Please tell me they have pancakes!
Let's talk about the staff. Are they friendly? Helpful? Annoying? (Be honest!)
