Loboc sits on the river that carries its name, the departure point for Bohol's floating-restaurant river cruises and a stop on most countryside-circuit itineraries. Staying here rather than day-tripping through puts you closer to the river after the cruise boats clear out, and closer to the Chocolate Hills the next morning. None of the properties in this list have a pool — the river and its surrounding greenery are the draw.

Read our full review of Loboc River Resort
Why choose this? Loboc River Resort is one of the more distinctive properties in Bohol — a riverside resort on the Loboc River with rooms raised on stilts and linked by wooden bridges, rather than a beach or city hotel.
The setting is the entire appeal: river views, a lazy river, and on-site firefly and river-boat activities, in the green interior near the countryside loop.

Why choose this? Fox & The Firefly Cottages is a row of eleven native-style cottages on the Loboc River at Purok 2, Barangay Road, Brgy. Valladolid, Loboc — a short way upstream from the main river-cruise wharf and town centre.
The property runs its own stand-up paddleboard tours on the Loboc and cooks from its own kitchen, Food & Fables, a farm-table operation; fireflies gather in the riverbank trees after dark, which the property is named for.

The Loboc River and its floating-restaurant cruises, plus its position as a stop on Bohol's inland countryside circuit alongside the Chocolate Hills and the tarsier sanctuary.
Generally no — most riverside and eco-stays here lean on the river and surrounding greenery rather than a pool as the main draw.
Yes — it sits centrally on the circuit, within reasonable reach of the Chocolate Hills, the Tarsier Conservation Area, and the river cruise itself.
Loboc is inland; Panglao's beaches are roughly 45-60 minutes away by road, making it more practical as a one- or two-night countryside stop than a full-trip base.
