Equipped an international standard tennis court, Play ground for kids,eternity pool and Spa, the resort offers an alternative destination for vacationers and tourists. However, why go to Bohol when you just want to stay in a resort? The Island of Bohol in itself is a tourist attraction, full of History and mysteries to the past.

Cosy rooms and warm decors make for a well rested stay.

A play ground for kids while passing the time...

A spa to soothe the senses...

A chapel that conducts masses for guests who don't want to miss-out on their religious obligations.

Facility wise the Flushing Meadows resort is a nice place to visit. However, great facility is just half of the equation. No matter how great the facility is, if Customer Service is sub-par, the resort will remain average. To provide the best quality of Service, Excellent Customer Service must always be practiced regardless of gender or nationality.

Overall, we may consider revisiting this place, provided that new attractions are added and customer service improves dramatically.
