Amorita Resort question

[edpdiver]

I am planning a trip to the Bohol area next month, and I was looking into the Amorita resort. However, I was not sure if it will be suitable for my wife, who has multiple sclerosis. I see from pictures that the resort is on a cliff, and I do not know how many steps there are down to the beach. A friend of mine who was there thought that there were a lot of steps (maybe 60 or so). From the pictures on the website, it does not look like the cliff is that high. My wife can handle 15 or 20 steps a couple of times a day without any problem, but 60 sounds like a lot for her (maybe me, too). Has anyone been there who can give me an idea of how much of a vertical hike this may be? Thanks in advance.

I think you'll be fine. If memory serves me well (questionable!) there are maybe 15 to 20 steps max, maybe as few as 10. The path slopes until the last minute and finishes with steps over a small distance.

Thanks for the reply. That is the way the pictures look, but I wanted to check.

From what I remember from 3 years ago the path from the main hall/dining area down to the beach is quite steep with lots of steps. The cottages are also far apart. I think you should contact the resort just to be sure. It is also at the far end of Alona beach and I remember that it was an effort to lug my gear from the dive shop (phil fun divers) to the resort especially under the hot sun.

Thanks Richard. I appreciate the feedback. I do plan to contact them in any case, just to be safe. With respect to dive operators, I heard that Sea Explorers recently got that concession. Perhaps they will help with lugging gear, but I will see.

You will have to use the stairs to the beach to get to all the businesses along the beach. The street that leads to Amorita is a dead end one called Ester A. Lim Dr. To go anyplace outside that road you have to take a tricycle taxi or other means of transportation or WALK.
Check out MY MAP of the Alona Beach area and see if it helps you.

Amorita is #8 on my map and Sea Explorers is #14. It's on the beach within a reasonable walking distance but not sure if your wife wants to do it going and coming considering her MS?

Getting someone to carry your gear for a tip is no problem.

Thanks for the information, Jim. I think that all things considered, Alona Vida will be the best bet for us. The only problem with that is the noise, but I am hoping I can request a room far from the bar to take care of that. That way we will be closer to more restaurants, and no steps to contend with.

Thanks also for your map, incidentally. It is really helpful.
