Our honest first look at Alona Beach, Panglao

Everyone says Alona Beach is the place to be in Panglao, but is it the paradise you’re picturing? We just arrived after the chaos of Cebu’s Sinulog festival to start our six-week island-hopping adventure in the Philippines. We’re keeping it real: from the reality of travel-day costs to the construction work along the seawall and the actual vibe of the beach, we’re showing you exactly what it's like to land in Panglao for the first time. 💳 Get your Free WISE Currency Card: https://wise.com/invite/dic/scottj584 🛡️ SafetyWing Nomad Insurance: https://safetywing.com/nomad-insuranc... 🛡️ SafetyWing Nomad Insurance Complete:https://explore.safetywing.com/Nomad-... 🏨 Where We Stayed — Panglao Agoda https://agoda.tpo.mx/NCnUZqpL Booking.com https://maps.app.goo.gl/KAbXcE7DyYz86...
