Panglao hotels

Pros: Good beach, close to Alona beach area and reasonable price.

Cons: Limited choice of breakfast. Too much service of changing linen. Even at 9am! Small swimming pool. Shower water is a bit salty! Maybe because they filtered sea water.

Pros: 1. The property is very spacious and does not feel crowded at all. 2. Beach is nice & clean. 3. There are lots of activities to choose from at the resort. 4. Our villa is clean, well maintained and properly appointed. The actual unit is way better than what it looks like in photos. 5. All of the staff were very courteous, warm, and always willing to help! The staff and driver who met us at the airport, the receptionist, the waiters, masseuse, the life guards, the bell boys, the maintenance personnel, the housekeeping staff - every single one of them were nice! 6. Located near the airport, which is really convenient. 7. Property has a lot of nice spots one can take photos 8. Staff responded promptly to all of our email inquiries during the booking process.

Cons: Staff did not know that we had the room extended beyond the normal check out time of 12 noon so we received a couple of check out reminder & follow up calls while we were having our lunch which I found to be slightly annoying. After realizing the mistake though, we received a call from the reception staff apologizing for the mix up.

Pros: Amazing staff, extremely efficient and make everything easy. The private beach of the hotel is never crowded, beautiful and clean, you always feel like you own it! The first sight of those palms, that white sand and the birds on the beach is unforgettable. Sunset wordless.

Cons: Expected more seafood choice for a seafood restaurant (but still the food is good) and the design of the room is not high as the standard of the hotel.

Pros: I particularly liked the private beachside dinner I requested the resort to arrange for my mother's 70th birthday celebration. The preparation was all perfectly executed and the food spread was excellent. I also admired the staff for their commitment to serve (especially the one who was assigned to attend to us during the private dinner). Everyone was just helpful and accommodating. The rooms were also very clean and nicely kept to ensure that we were all comfortable. This resort provides a peaceful and sweet escape from deafening noise and pollution of the city. It's a perfect place to hibernate and recharge our souls.

Cons: The resort has only one (1) restaurant and a bar with limited dining options. The food they serve are overly priced (let me repeat -- extremely overpriced!). It cost me a fortune to feed my family for 4 days. Here's one tip: Never order live seafood! It's a complete rip-off. You will lose an arm if you order a serving of fresh crab or lapu-lapu. Since this resort is secluded and far from the town center, you'll have no choice but to keep on dining at their restaurant. Prepare a bucket of money. However, I was told by one of the staff to walk towards Dumaluan (past Bohol Beach Club) by the shoreline for other dining options. I've checked out the place but seems like the food they serve are not hygienic. It's dining at your own risk. Since I was with my parents, I refused to take such risk. The resort's swimming pools are not fantastic. Considering the massive estate they occupy, their two swimming pools are just way too small. Anyway, their beautiful beach compensates all that! Their shoreline is the best I've seen in Panglao so far. Make use of your time swimming at the beach. Don't bother about the pools. One more thing, I believe the resort does not offer complimentary shuttle service to/from the airport or ferry terminal. This is something that they must consider for value-added service in the future knowing that their location is not easily accessible by public transport.

Pros: Comfortable bed. Friendly and helpful staff. Food is good.

Pros: Food is great and good value. Pools are clean.

Cons: The beachside/shore has a lot of seaweeds/plants that need to be cleaned up

Pros: The receptionist was friendly, courteous and accommodating. The chef, too. The beach is exclusive to its guests. Very private! The resort is serene. The photos in the website accurately describes the place.

Cons: The transpo is very costly.

Pros: The rooms were spacious, palm trees everywhere! Beautiful for pictures!

Cons: The food was just okay. Nothing really wowed me with the food especially paying what we paid per night. It wasn’t bad it was just okay. Other than that, our whole hotel experience was amazing!

Pros: Cleanliness is well maintained, staffs were friendly esp to staff AJ who provided great service during our dinner and arranged surprise bday greeting to my mom with a complimentary cake from the resort. thankyou!

Cons: could be more better if they have other sea sports activity aside from the kayaking. but everything else was good..

Pros: Lay out, easy access to all amenities and areas to with.

Cons: Water... awful smell... needs to chk and improved asap

Pros: The staff were courteous and warm - from the Front Desk to the F&B staff. Nathali from Front Desk upgraded my room to an Ocean View room which I really appreciated!

Cons: The location is far from the tourist spots but if your vacation goal is not to leave the property for some relaxation then this resort is perfect for you

Pros: The rooms are spacious. Their staff are very friendly and accommodating. Their beach and pool are awesome.

Cons: Their food are a bit pricy. Since their location is far from the city there are no nearby resto you can go so there is no other place to eat other than their indoor resto. But the food is good.

Pros: The rooms were large, bed was confortable to sleep in

Pros: The room was amazing with a splendide view.

Cons: The gym wasn't available and the breakfasts and food in general were not so good.

Pros: Excellent location if you want a real stress free vacation.The infinity pool gives a superb view of sky and sea.The beach is relaxing, a true communion with nature. All the staff are friendly.They will treat you as a real VIP.Aside from the hotel itself, I think their service will make you feel you are in a 5 star resort.

Pros: The rooms are lovely The beach beside the hotel is beautiful

Cons: Everything was nice, however my only complaint would be that the bar prices are far too high, even compared to other 5 star resorts in Panglao

Pros: We keep coming back! It is perfect in every way! They upgraded our room to Jr. Suite and I just want to live here forever! The breakfast is amazing, the views spectacular and the service fantastic including room service. Wonderful meals al a carte. This is my favorite resort!

Cons: It was perfect! What's not to like when you have perfection.

Pros: See above

Cons: It was great.

Cons: We book 8 rooms and after check out the front desk charge us bed sheets cost due to dirty mark. They say it comes from Tatto but we don’t do it. After they take the bed sheets for our clearly reference and we found it comes from cleaning issue. It’s very dirty sheets and they want to charge us cost. And also request us to sign the dirty sheets cost for their initial using. It’s really not good experience for this stay.

Pros: The villa room is so spacious and the bed so comfortable

Pros: The staff are very respecful Place was quiet and clean Enjoyed the massage and breakfast Good pools

Cons: It was hard to go around bohol as there was no service van. The transpo rate to Alona was 250 pesos whuch wss too much. But there was no ither choice. Addl pax for the room was advised during the reservation but arrangements were not made. The addl bed was not comfortable. Food was priced too high for the serving size. The beach front was not good, too rocky and very small Observed birds earing food exposed during biffet breakfast. Staff are aware.

Pros: We stay in family loft.. it was so nice.. my mom really likes it.. it was quite expensive but it was worth it. And buffet breakfast is really good.

Pros: the structure of the hotel is nice. Good customer service by all the personnel of the hotel from reception down to security.

Cons: the cleanliness of the room and towels must be improved. The color of the towel is no longer white. The floor has so many stains. We asked to clean the room, yes they did, but just arranged the bedding and other stuffs, however, the sticky stains on the floor was still there and dusty.

Pros: The beds were amazing and the villa rooms were great as shown in the photos! The staff was very accommodating and tried to help us with all our requests. The breakfast buffet was also a delight!

Cons: The beachfront wasn't the same as with the photos. It was rocky and hard to get to during low tide. It'd have to be high tide to enjoy the beach well at the hotel. Too bad as well that there was a construction at the resort at the time of our stay.

Pros: Everything about the resort was up to international standards. Our experience from the pier transfer, to check in, to our stay was exceptional. The staff are all very friendly and helpful - from the security guard, front desk, life guards,room service, bar staff, spa staff and restaurant staff. The grounds and facilities are very good, especially the pools. The room was big, modern and had all the things that we needed. We were fortunate enough to be at the resort when they had their cultural night, where there were local dancers doing cultural dance while we had dinner. The location is good. It was very private, and yet close enough to Alona beach which you can access by tricycle.

Pros: This the best place for rest and relaxation. Not crowded, accommodating staff, big beds, good food. A bit pricey but worth it and more.

Pros: Courteous and attentive staff

Cons: Beach in front. Not so good to swim due to sea plants and rocks.

Pros: Wonderful staff, accommodate all our needs. Room very clean

Cons: Unexpected brownout but recovered less than a minute.

Pros: Cosy and quiet place at the doorstep of a nice beach. Beautiful surrounding area. Placed further away from the range of restaurants and bars, but on site cuisine is pretty good

Cons: The bathroom area, while fits in the style of the cottage, and is clean, looks a bit unappealing

Pros: Amazing property with lovely garden, swimming pool and private beach. The staff is very helpful. Before the trip I have emailed us several times and they responded with plenty of information. They had several toys on the beach for my baby which he loved. The decor is traditional and just incredible, perfect for pictures with plenty of romantic spots. We love our food and the restaurant was not bad at all, especially for the price. I would 100% go back there! Super relaxing place!

Cons: The rooms next to the pool unfortunately are a bit dark. Consistency in service would make this place great. Some members of staff are really good and others only average which is a shame.

Pros: The service was incredible, very attentive and sense of details for everything. The atmosphere feels very intimate and calm, with a very beautiful house and garden, swimming pool, the access on the beach is heaven-like. The food at the restaurant also impressed us, we tried all the local specialties and everything was excellent ! The hotel grows their own vegetables and has a very attentive policy regarding the environment. I warmly recommend !!

Pros: the staff was great. the place is amazing!!! so green and peacful. very close to the beach. just go down the stairs and you'r there. the room was fine. shower was fine also. hot water alweys.

Cons: a bit far from the bars and shop area. we had to take trycical evry time. it cost 150 peso for each side. not too bad.

Pros: Very relaxing and friendly staff

Pros: -The staff were super friendly and helpful -The beach was amazing, much better than Alona! -Beautiful, lush grounds -Beautiful beach access with hammocks, ping-pong table -Food was good -Beds were comfortable -Great massage by the beach arranged by the resort. -Happy hour at the beach bar -Lovely pool -The library was super cosy and had great views from the terrace -Prepacked breakfast for early check out -Complimentary pier pick up

Cons: -The room was quite small. -The toilet could have done with some upgrading: the shower head holder looked really cheap and plasticy and was attached by only one screw which meant the shower head kept falling off. A few broken and cracked tiles. -The aircon was very noisy. -Service at the pool area took very long and there was no sign of staff after they had brought the order so it was not possible to order more drinks or food without having to walk all the way to the restaurant. -Sound proofing in the room could be better

Pros: If you like being secluded and far away from any night life then this is the place

Cons: Location not convenient to any of the bars or night life in Alona

Pros: Great service, wonderfully artsy boutique and personal feel to this entire place. Attention to detail. Friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much. Food at restaurant (open 6am-10pm) was excellent, even the coffee! Pool lovely and crystal clear. Wonderful library of books and DVDs to borrow on site. Grounds gorgeous, romantic, Oceanside and lovely gardens. Table tennis and kayak/snorkeling gear available. Not on a busy strip, a quiet place for a relaxing stay. Tours can be arranged. Would gladly return. Would highly recommend!! Thanks!

Cons: Only complaint was toilet leaked a little on bathroom floor, safe didn't work in room and bedside light kept blinking on/off, but these are minor issues.

Pros: The style of the resort decorate

Cons: The flying when have breakfast

Pros: We LOVED our stay here. We didn’t want for anything, the food was amazing and the staff so helpful and friendly. They even have a DVD library that is so charming. For those looking for a quiet paradise, this is perfect.

Pros: The vibe and atmosphere there was lovely and staff was really kind. Kudos to the owner and his staff for having such a beautiful place! Also the dogs there are beautiful ❤️

Pros: From the facilities, to the food, and the staff, everything was top notch! Will definitely go back and bring my friends. ++common area and the exploding kittens game

Cons: Overall there’s nothing not to like about the property. Would love to request a guitar we can borrow while killing some time?

Pros: Great staff, very cozy forest like setting away from the loud touristy area, but still close enough if you want to have both worlds. There was one hot shower, which for my stay I did not have to wait in line for. I would definitely stay there again.

Cons: No wifi in rooms, only the common area.

Pros: 1. Hostel itself- Lovely! It has a very relaxing atmosphere especially the music, lighting and the hammock where we can just lounge around ans take a nap. It's cold at night! 2. Food - TO DIE FOR. I didn't expect that it would wow me! My ferry the next morning is pretty early so I asked them if they could pack me some light breakfast. They packed me an egg sandwich. Oh God. I didn't expect that it would be so delicious! Also, they grow their own food. How great is that? 3. Their advocacy in supporting to grow your own food, local farmers, being environment friendly really shows! 4. Very witty displays and menu :) 5. Open air showers! So refreshing :) I would love to come back there in the near future.

Cons: 1. I think it comes with the place but I think I heard a rat once scratching on the roof. Well, the location is a farm but it's kinda expected. 2. To sustain the environmetal friendly thing in all items, for guests who wasn't able to bring their own soap or shampoo, you could trying sourcing out and sell shampoo bars and bar soaps instead of selling satchet ones.

Pros: loved being right in the middle of nature and all its beauty. staff were nice & helpful. good food onsite. very cute dogs. the hostel has good tours on offer.

Cons: bit out of the way but only 150peso each way in a trike to the local town.

Pros: Original place. Good breakfast.

Pros: Everything!

Cons: The shower and the toilet are separate..

Pros: Delicious breakfast, great location into the jungle, awesome staff. I highly recommend this place.

Pros: BOSS very friendly and cute，you must be love this

Pros: Overall look of the place. Restaurant. BBQ night.

Cons: There is nothing comfortable for two people to sit or lay down together outside

Cons: sorry, but the restaurant is not even 3 star worth of. I ordered steak medium rare, and I got steak well done. The mashed potatos was cold served. The Fish and the shrimps was not fresh. All in all, the food was not delicious. Even the selection for the breakfast was very small -> 3-star the jacuzzi tub was not clean at the bottom (brown stains at the bottom), they should change it after some years of use, or clean it every day

Pros: Nice staff and both private and public swimming pools are great

Cons: The cleanliness of the villa was not so good, the floor was dusty and pests were everywhere. I even found a flock of ants on the massage table beneath my neck when I was having the massage because I felt itchy on my neck and face. Besides that, the staff were nice and helpful. But the overall experience was not match to the price we paid.

Pros: i like all the crews they are so hospitable and accomodating

Cons: sounds far from the beach i thought it was near but its worth it

Pros: The room itself was spacious and the bed was comfy and clean. The pool area was nice and peaceful. The staff including Judith and Joy were so friendly and helpful - couldn't have done more for us. Lovely little hotel.

Cons: The location is a little off the beaten track, but the free shuttle to Alona Beach was good for getting out and about. Room could have been cleaner - some dust and dead bugs.

Pros: The staff at G's was amazing, went out of their way to make my stay great. I really did not expect free shuttle service to and from the seaport at this price. Room was clean, and comfortable and the location was off the main areas and very quiet and relaxing.

Cons: Shower hot water was a little spotty.

Pros: Everything else. Clean room. Nice staffs. Good food. The whole place is just beautiful.

Cons: Its far. From everywhere. But if you want a quiet stay. The place is perfect

Pros: Location far of everything, but nice and quiet!

Cons: The whole surrounding.Its relaxing.

Pros: excellent customer service and staff; beyond from what i usually expect. food was a bit pricey but the quality does compensate for it.

Cons: the heater in the shower could've been better; takes some time heat up then cools down again.

Pros: The room was amazing comfortable bed and great views free shuttle pickup and drop off from seaport or airport. Amazing food at a very good price

Cons: Bathroom could do with a little upgrade like a toilet seat would be good and hot water that works and stays warm and breakfast service could have been on time and the 10% surcharge to have dinner in the room wasn’t so good

Pros: The swimming pool

Cons: The road along the way

Pros: I like the no prepayment scheme. And that the staff answers immediately their cellphone number given. I like tthat the staff are very kind and considerate. I like the peace and quiet.

Cons: The location. Its on top of the mountain and there is no nearby fastfood.

Pros: The room and the bathroom are spacious, confortable and clean. If it wasn’t for the construction inconvenience it would be a pleasant stay. The staff also is very kind.

Cons: If you want to relax, don’t come this days (end of April 2019). They are building a swimming pool and the noise from the construction work is super annoying. They didn’t inform us that this would happen, so we were just surprised that in the middle of our staying the construction started. When we complained with the manager, she wasn’t helpful, saying she couldn’t stop the construction. We had to argue to have some kind of compensation and in the end she just gave 15% discount over the days we got disturbed, which in my opinion is not enough for the inconvenience as you are in holidays and want some relax time. The breakfast was a bit disappointing, not many diversity, no fruits at all, and if you don’t arrive the first, you will have to wait 20+ minutes to be served because the kitchen is small and when there is more than one table they get overwhelmed.

Pros: The place so nice and quite good place to stay and relax

Pros: Staff very helpful

Cons: Very bad breakfast Very noisy (construction around)

Pros: The staff were nice especially Gina. The location is good and the room looks like the pictures.

Cons: Needs renovation

Pros: We had a great time here at Alona42, it served as our base while diving and enjoying Panglao and Bohol over the Easter week. The staff are helpful (particularly Gina) in assisting us with organizing various things, e.g. renting a car with driver to go to the Chocolate Hills. The hotel is about 10 minutes walking from the main sections of Alona Beach, and offers nice air conditioned rooms that are clean and functional. The food and drinks are fine and reasonably priced. Do not the put off by the entrance from the road, it changes once you turn a corner and arrive at it's somewhat secluded location.

Cons: The only issue is that the breakfast took quite some time to arrive in the morning, since the kitchen is small, and has only 1 chef working. It was excellent, cooked to order, but the issue was that often we had to leave at a certain time (to go to the dive center or sightseeing trip), and then would have to leave without everyone getting their food. It's not the staffs fault, they tried their best to remedy this, but the hotel shouldn't except guest to have half an hour to wait on getting breakfast.

Pros: Service. People very helpful

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff very so nice

Cons: Breakfast menu could be better

Pros: The rooms are really nice, with new appliances. The little luxuries like a hand towel and bathing products were such a nice touch. The staff were great but Gina just made our stay perfect. She was so welcoming and helpful. It was like staying with friends. The coffee machine was a real treat as well.

Cons: Nothing it was fantastic

Pros: Very clean

Pros: The staff was friendly and did their best to help me.

Cons: The bed sheets were not replaced the whole time for four days. I had bugs in my room which was not the most pleasant experience.

Pros: This is a very lovely place that is well kept. The staff are excellent, so helpful and friendly. The only small concern is that the water in the toilet in our room kept, kept running 24/7, so it’s a little annoying. So I just kept the bathroom door closed so I didn’t have to hear it. But for the reader of this review, if you are traveling to the Philippines for the 1st time, expect toilet problems. It seems to be the norm everywhere. But still, this is a lovely place. It was my second time there, and I will go again :)

Pros: The atmospher is nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful , the staff are also enjoying there works. The location is nearby to the alona beach, they have there shuttle but is not necesarry to wait coz you can walk by . We are very satisfied our short stay ..

Cons: Our room dnt have towels rack and soap holder for our Comfortabily and easy for us...

Pros: Our son loved the pool. He refused to go out and explore because he wanted to stay in the pool.

Cons: The beds have very sharp edges and my one year old kept hitting his head. The food was okay. My son loved the pancit while the burger was extremely over cooked.

Pros: Relaxed athmosphere. Enthousiastic / helpfull staff.

Cons: Ride to town is fine, but benches sometimes dirty. Bathroom light.

Pros: Very quiet, aside from the main roads, though Alona beach is easily reachable using the free hotel shuttle. And super nice staff :)

Cons: The bathroom would need a little renovation, but not much of an issue

Pros: Ambience.

Cons: Water.

Pros: The property is spotless and well maintained. Breakfast is very good and following a quick training they have been able to master the making of an excellent expresso. The pool is great, as well as the rooms. Great service of the free shuttle bus (resort-beach) available every thirty minutes. Good WiFi. Fast communication with the front desk, they are able to accomodate the transfer to Tagbilaran port for a complete hassle free experience (at a fee). Wonderful staff.

Cons: Rooms were not replenished every day (shampoo, soap, water) but this seems to be endemic to the whole country. The lock in the room did not work properly, however it was not a big deal (there was a safety box in the room).

Pros: Great staff , clean and big rooms , good restaurant.

Cons: Far from the center but doing free shuttles all day long

Pros: Great pool and rooms

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Pool and the enviornment was good. in every 30 mins there is a free shuttle to go to city center so this is good.

Cons: Although I made the reservation for 2 adults and one kid (3 years old) they refused to give a free breakfast for the 3 years old kid due to she is not over 6 :)) I told them that under 6 years old kids do not make breakfast?? On our second day we found a 4cm spider in the room and it did escape under the bed and 2 staff tried to get it from under the bad. they got it finally.

Pros: Excellent value.

Cons: Very good value. Easy walk to beach, shops, restaurants, & bars. Not a lot of frills, but very good WiFi. Very clean. Built & run by a friendly German expat. House rules are written in German & English.

Pros: The location was great as was the value. As many others have said, it’s a place to lay your head after a long day. The staff was also super friendly.

Cons: The bed was not comfortable at all. Flimsy mattress that could definitely use replacing.

Pros: The staff was so friendly and helpful. Always ready to call a tricycle for us or help us with logistics of getting around.

Cons: The bathroom was a little shabby but was cleaned well. The breakfast wasn't what we are used to but I was glad that it was included and nicely presented. Try the Gnocchi with Pomodoro sauce for dinner, that is so delicious!

Pros: Very responsive and customer oriented staff. Tasty Italian style food in the restaurant.

Cons: Bad condition of the room (broken furniture, smudges on the bathroom walls, broken shower)

Pros: We love the place. It is like little oasis.

Pros: Nearby dive shop

Cons: No shampoos and bath

Pros: Very attentive and friendly staff, nice room (needs refurbishment, but that did not influence the stay, just the overall impression would be better). A swimming pool was clean and an excellent addition in the heat

Cons: The room needs refurbishment. Gray ceilings in the bathroom

Pros: The resort is close to the beach (a short walk from Alona beach), but far enough from the messy and overcrowded Alona Beach Road that hosts many resorts/hotels, restaurants and shops. If you want peace and tranquillity, Vanilla sky is the right place to stay. The structure itself is small but cosy: It comprises 12 rooms that overlook the swimming pool, and a big open space used as reception and dining hall. Rooms are big, well lit and clean. It was a pleasant surprise to find towels and bed linen smelling fresh and clean - it made us feel at home. Internet connection is very good too - we didn't have any problems connecting to the WiFi during our stay. Staff are courteous and professional - smiles are never a problem here :) Food is excellent and we advise trying their homemade burrata (mozzarella), yogurt, pizza (cooked in wood fire oven) and ravioli. The menu includes many Italian dishes which were executed excellently using quality ingredients. Overall, we are highly satisfied with our stay at Vanilla Sky and would love to go back there again. Our rate: 10/10.

Cons: Nothing related to the resort and its services. However, visitors/guests should know that neighbours own roosters that go off frequently at night and might wake you up. This is a widespread issue in the Philippines as cock fighting is one of the major pastime in the country. If you suffer from light sleep, do yourself a favour: bring earplugs :)

Pros: Great location just next to Prama diving school Pool view is beautiful and the room deco is clean and pretty Restaurant provides good food and staff is nice

Pros: Very nice rooms The kitchen is excellent Very friendly staff

Pros: beautiful place, away from noise but still in a great location- 5 min to the beach and all the restaurant\ bars staff were simply perfect, always smiling and helping. breakfast was very nice, the day we had an early tour the packed sandwiches for us! really amazing service! resutrant on site super tasty and nice prices as well. hot water, good wifi, clean and comfy. deferentially recommend and would stay again!

Pros: The beach front property was very nice. Beautiful beach with lots of shaded beach to stay on and relax. The resort itself is very beautiful and has an incredible tropical beauty to it. Well maintained grounds

Cons: The staff never did check on the room. There was no house keeping done during our whole stay. I had to keep getting my own clean towels. We asked for shuttle service on the morning of check out, and that morning there was no one to be found, we had to find a worker slerring on a bench to make calls to find out where our shuttle service was. Dissatisfied with that part .

Pros: The room had a large sliding door facing the ocean, pool, and the restaurant. The staff was quite friendly and responsive. There is plenty of space for beach chilling. The area is not very crowded.

Cons: The food at the restaurant was very salty, as is a lot of food in the Philippines. You need to rent a motorbike or get a ride on a trike or taxi in order to get to Alona Beach which will add to your expenses.

Pros: Most amazing sunsets ar the beach. Comfortable beds. Great tours of Bohol available at the hotel reception.

Cons: Restaurant was extremely slow in service (1 hour wait for a salad) and found the food disappointing in general. I reported to reception my entrance light was not working on arrival, three nights later it was still not working when I left. But in general Philippines is very relaxed and assume it will be fixed sometime in the next year. Also laundry took a long time to be returned.

Pros: Very lovely place Nice staff Good restaurant Excellent facilities (pool and other games like table tennis, good for kids) Very quiet Would stay there again Top dive center nearby (Equation diving)

Cons: Sole negative point, when we checked out, the lady at the reception forgot to make us pay as the payment is not automatic ;) So, not much to say !

Pros: We stayed on the 2nd floor Ocean view room. The view was perfect and the pearl restaurant was fantastic. Food was excellent with a large variety to choose from. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Cons: The beach wasn't the best. There is lots of seaweed that would wash up at low tide, but it's not really the resorts fault. It is more of a natural occurrence which is out of their power.

Pros: Very nice and quiet resort. Good food. If you have transport easy to get around.

Cons: Breakfast took very long on 2 of my 4 day stay (45 minutes).

Pros: Nice food and service.

Cons: Nothing to mention.

Pros: Staff, restaurant, pool

Cons: They will have huge building next to it soon but for now very boutique type of resort. The beach could be more clean but with the seaweed not much to do...

Pros: Everything was great Friendly staff Quiet secluded location Easy access to tours and transport Standard of hotel

Cons: Dogs in the restaurant area

Pros: Quiet location and the staff was really great. Especially Ricki was amazing: always smiling and can probably greet you in any language. Dinner at sunset was amazing! And the food taste awesome!

Cons: There are some dogs walking around. But if the staff sees you don’t want them near you, they make sure the dogs stay away. As feedback: on arrival some information on how to handle these dogs (as unknown tourist)

Pros: Our room is very nice. Spacious and the view is spectacular! My partner really loved our stay in this hotel. The beach is not as amazing as the beaches we’ve been to but it’s quiet and relaxing. The sunset was really nice. Good food and staffs were very accommodating.

Cons: There’s a construction going on and we can hear the planes but we had a wonderful stay and we will go back again.

Pros: Staff are friendly & approachable. Room rates is at reasonable price. Room is big & Bed is so comfy. Location

Cons: The food in the restaurant is awful, they need to hire a good chef. The shower head holder in our bathroom is missing. Couldn't connect to the wifi in our villa, poor connection. They charge too much in the massage service (it's cheaper in Manila)

Pros: The grounds are beautiful and the pool is fun.

Cons: It was advertised they had a fitness room, that is why we booked this hotel. We had to go find a gym to pay for daily use.

Pros: the staff are friendly

Pros: It was delightful.

Cons: The lighting at night was dim. There could be more lights installed. But everything was awesome.

Pros: The staff and location were both very good.

Cons: The fixed menu, especially for breakfast is a bit boring. It would be nice to have a buffet from which to pick and choose.

Pros: The facilities are great and their grounds are well-maintained.

Cons: The location is good if guests want to be isolated from all the other tourists in Panglao, as it is quite a distance to Alona beach.

Pros: The staff is very friendly , the beds are comfortable, the pool that you can go inside till 10pm,

Cons: Hot water were not fluently.. come and goes. Location is quite far from Alona beach by foot The quality of the food isn’t good enough

Pros: From the moment we arrived to the day we left, we had no difficulty whatsoever in the hotel facilities or with the staff. We were super well hosted by the staff in every way possible. Any question I had about how to get around and about were easily answered by anyone there. Through the diving team, at the hotel, we were able to schedule tours to visit islands close by, including snorkeling with whale sharks. We had breakfast a la cart and some drinks from the restaurant and it was great in terms of size, price and freshness. My family had a great time there and we most probably will book it again on our next trip.

Cons: To be frank, we had no complains whatsoever on what concerns the staff and the facility. The only low key of our trip was that we arrived in Bohol in the middle of a Typhoon and we didn't know. So when we reached the beach area, there was no bathing area and the sea was stormy. Again, that has nothing to do with the Hotel, but it is something guests may take in consideration when planning their trips to the Philippines.

Pros: Location was great. Very quiet but you close enough to Alona beach if you want to go for food and drinks.

Cons: Some teabags would be good as we don't drink coffee.

Pros: Location was just right for our group of 9. We were picked up from ferry and dropped off airport for a reasonable fee. Quiet place which we needed but close enough to walk to Alona (busier place). Pool was great. Connectivity/ wifi works well. Food was not bad. Great coffee!! The staff were all great and very accommodating.

Cons: Bathroom smells and radiates throughout the small room we were in. Apparently, property was in middle of digging another septic tank and it is quite close to where I am at. Would have like to know this before I accepted the room I have. Management did clean the room and I requested it cleaned everyday but once I smelt super grossness, it stayed it my head. Beach was a big disappointment. Good for sunbathing and lounging but not suitable for swimming at all!!

Pros: Very spacious and clean room.

Pros: Staff and meals, comfortable bed

Cons: Little bit of maintenance required, just starting to show age of structure

Pros: Nothing at all.

Cons: The owner n the daughter are terrible people who made our stay very unwelcoming. I would never come back here again.

Pros: The place is clean. My cousin's family enjoyed the pool and restaurant too.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The place is so nice.

Cons: We need to walk like half kilometer to get to the beach because Henan hotel bought the property which was supposed to be the fastest way to get to the beach.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was great. We ate there most days. We requested a pick-up from the airport and someone was there waiting for us even though our flight arrived much earlier than expected. There were tours and scooters available close by.

Cons: It was a little far from the main area of town although it was walkable. For more active people it would probably have been no problem, but we were happy to relax at the property most of the time anyway.

Pros: The pool

Cons: The staff and the accessibility and also the amenities

Pros: Location is good, few minutes walk to Alona beach . Place looks nice (more than the pictures show) and clean. Stuff is friendly and helpful (they helped me celebrate my daughter's birthday). Restaurant is great, we had one breakfast and two dinners and all was very good, highly recommended.

Cons: Nothing - all good

Pros: The rooms were really spacious and the beds were of good size.

Cons: It had no access to the beach.
