Committed to its promise
Best Western Plus The Ivywall Resort has reinforced its dedication to sustainability by actively minimizing ecological footprints, supporting local communities, and preserving Bohol’s natural beauty.

This cohesive involvement of stakeholders highlights the resort’s holistic approach to environmental stewardship and community engagement.
The property urged its guests and partners to reflect on the impact on our planet and the steps we can take to make a difference. In his welcome speech, Escoto added, “Let this hour of darkness illuminate the path to a brighter, more sustainable future. Let us carry the spirit of Earth Hour with us every day; in every decision we make, big or small, let us make every hour an Earth hour.”
Leaving a Green Mark
The night was more than just a simple lights-off event; it was a memorable evening for resort guests and walk-in diners as they departed the island. While indulging in the buffet of international cuisine, sourced from the province itself and specially crafted by Chef Archie’s team, guests also enjoyed the flavorful tunes of Jam 403 as they serenaded the Earth Hour. Leaving a lasting impression and urging commitment to greener deeds moving forward.
Collaborative Effort in Sustainable Tourism
As part of the greener effort of the Bohol Association of Hotels, Resorts, and Restaurants (BAHRR), employees of Best Western Plus The Ivywall Resort, along with employees from Bohol Beach Club, gathered outside the new Bohol Panglao International Airport to conduct a clean-up drive a few hours before the Earth Hour event at their respective properties.
Both resorts, as members of the Bohol Association of Hotels, Resorts, and Restaurants (BAHRR), are steadfast in their commitment to bolstering tourism, upholding international standards, and solidifying Bohol’s status as the premier destination of choice.
