Other Tips:

I would have revised this if possible

There is really nothing in Island City Mall as it is very small compared to the ones in Manila and Cebu.
Why don't you take the Ferry early and arrive earlier before lunch and mebbe do the Day 2 tour but start with floating restaurant and then the rest
Stay at the Alona Beach resort or some other restort for 2 nights then at least you are are the at beach for 2 nights.

Near the Bohol Pier and Island City Mall. Pretty basic amenties, but clean and good. Very close to McDonalds :) and just right in front of their City Hall.

Breakfast

Alona Beach Resort

Costs: around 3K Pesos ($60) for a normal room for 2 person (without breakfast which costs like around 250 Pesos or ~$5 per person)

Address: Ester A. Lim Drive, Alona Beach, Barangay, Tawala, Panglao Island 6340 map

We had rooms at the beach front area but TV wasn't working nor is WIFI working in the rooms (only in the lobby and restaurant).
Pretty basic amenities and shower didn't really turn out hot.
I think for basic amenities this is OK but don't expect a lot.
Has a small beach resort and just beside Hennan hotel. Good thing is that this is a corner resort.

Day 1 - Island City Mall

It's is just a 5-10 minute walk from Kew Hotel
pretty Small and has basic shops and amenities

Day 2 - Bohol Tour

Chocolate Hills

Apparently there are more than 1700 Hills covering 50 sq km and the name comes from the fact that the grass turns brown during the dry season looking like chocolate.
