It was only a strip of level land along the coast belonging to the town of Inabanga. The rich fishing grounds in the shallow waters around the neighboring little islands attracted people from Cebu and other nearby places to settle on the strip of level land. The community grew and flourished but during the 18th century marauding muslims used to come to the place so the community transferred to the top of a hill so that they could watch the coming of marauders. The decision of the Spaniards to give them protection made them return to the old site. In 1874, this barrio which was once called Ambacon became a municipality and was named Jetafe.

Experience GOD-Given gifts at its best Whether you are an overworked employee longing to take that much needed vacation where you can frolic in the pool all day without having to pay a king’s ransom for it, an event planner looking for a birthday or a wedding venue, a budget-conscious homemaker who needs a fun place to take the kids out over the weekend, a local resident who wants to sing to the tune of the latest hits, a traveler who wants to drench his dry throat with ice-cold beer, or perhaps someone who simply wants a little bit of everything at an affordable price, there is always something in store for you at Corte Paradise Resort. Corte Paradise Resort is a riverside and beachside resort conveniently situated in Barangay Corte-Baud, Getafe, Bohol. The resort is embraced with the winding brackish river, century old mangrove jungle, sandy shoreline and its romantic tropical gardens. In addition to its tropical gardens and native amenities, the resort also boasts of its spring water swimming pool for being the only pool within the area that gets direct freshwater replenishment from a subterranean spring water basin located at approximately 100 meters above sea level within the slopes of Mt. Corte. For the continued satisfaction of its valued customers, the resort continues to add more nature inspired gardens and amenities that are worth looking forward to. No visit to Getafe would ever be complete without relishing the Corte Nature Garden Resort experience.

Happened to pass by here with my family during our bohol tour, and discovered a little paradise just a few minutes away from the town centre. Thanks to victor and family for your warm hospitality and providing a place to escape from the stress of our daily lives. Truly, CORTE PARADISE RESORT is a place I'll always want to come back to.

There's a lovely swimming pool resort just 10-15 minutes away from the town centre called CORTE PARADISE RESORT. You'll never have trouble finding it because it's located along the national highway and locals will be happy to give you directions. It's particularly good for both international and local tourists who are on a tight budget. Feel free to visit their facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Corte-Paradise/186863917062
