Yes, Panglao was certainly the place i would have chosen to Steve, gated community ? No they dont do anything for me personally Steve, when i was there early last year there was a house for sale near to Bikini Beach, and it looked amazing backed down and overlooked the Beach, i did text an enquiry i think it was much around the 4 million your sister in law paid, French Kiss resort was up for sale at around 8 million, now i dont know your finances but for sure the Bikini Beach House would have been well within your budget, ask Fred to drive around the shoreline there, see if its still for sale, and get you some Pics..
