Is Tagbilaran close to the airport?

Bohol-Panglao International Airport is on neighboring Panglao island, about 20-30 minutes from central Tagbilaran by road.

Are Tagbilaran City hotels good for a beach holiday?

Not directly — they work better as a transport or budget base. Panglao's resorts are the better choice if beachfront access is the priority.

What's near Tagbilaran City for day trips?

The Chocolate Hills, Loboc River cruise, and Tarsier Conservation Area are all feasible half-day trips from a Tagbilaran base.
