It is the most convenient — restaurants, dive shops, and nightlife are all walkable. Quieter, cheaper options exist a short tricycle ride further along the coast.
Panglao and Tagbilaran are connected by a short bridge — most resorts are 15-30 minutes from Bohol-Panglao International Airport, which is on Panglao island itself.
