Panglao hotels

Pros: The room, especially the bathroom, is spacious. Love the design of the hotel. The little path leading to the restaurant is beautiful and we had a great time playing frisbee at the large pool. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: We were disappointed at the beach. I learnt from the hotel that it is a man-made beach. The sand is coarse and you would not really want to swim at that beach. The food at the restaurant was okay (don't try the oysters) but I think there would be better options out there in town.

Pros: Nice and spacious room, amazing pools and a beach, breakfast was good and staffs were soo friendly and helpful.

Cons: I stayed at family loft and hot water didnt work well in the bathroom on second floor. But it wasn’t a big problem.

Cons: No gutter on roof.noisy when raining

Pros: The staff was outstanding! Service was unbelievably awesome.

Cons: Showers had scale on it and the spray was poor. Staff quickly fixed it when brought to their attention.

Pros: Amazing place and felt very at home

Pros: The hotel condition and facilities were excellent. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and really made us feel very comfortable our entire stay. Would highly recommend!

Cons: More simple lunch options would be good ie baked potato, nachos, toasted sandwiches. Salad to have option washed with bottled water for us western people

Pros: Peace full resort

Cons: Beach part and check in process.

Pros: Beautiful resort and beach

Pros: Very nice staff and location.

Pros: Very beautiful beachfront. Accommodating staff. Free drinks inside the fridge

Cons: We weren't told that the drinks inside the fridge were free. Only found out after spending in the restaurant.

Pros: Loved the beach and my son enjoyed walking in the garden and running after the doves...

Pros: Nice beachfront and swimming pool

Cons: The food can be improved

Pros: Villa- good location, private territory

Cons: Staff- all requests with mistakes- asked beach towels- they bring bath towels... bottle of white wine- they bring red...and everything you should wait like half an hour. Last day staff came at 9 am and started clean private pool outside... we were laying and taking sunburn near and asking to finish it and went out. They were very disappointed... very strange service

Pros: Location excellent with a lovely, clean, white sand beach. All the staff were very polite and helpful at all times. Buffet Breakfasts were quite good. The Bar on the beach was very good and between 3-5pm 50% off (alcoholic drinks only). Bed was huge and comfortable.

Cons: Dinner in the restaurant was poor quality, served warm in temperature, at best, (my wife was ill during the night following her meal there) and was way overpriced as were all the drinks (eg Corona Lager 355ml bottle is 95 peso in supermarkets but here was 380 peso per bottle a 4X increase). The furniture in the room is dated as is the shower and water pressure for both the shower and toilet is too low. Apart from paying the resort's exorbitant price for a car the only way to get out of the resort is by using the rickety tricycles that reception will arrange for you if requested.

Pros: Great services , staff is so friendly and the vieuw is awsume , beautiful beach , food is great !

Cons: Well, lot of Chinese whit kids who terrorize the pool!

Pros: Beautiful hotel territory. Very friendly staff! Additional thanks to Jane .

Pros: We got a great rest in Amarela！Our skin got darker and we look healthier! Appreciate all you guys！Staff here are very friendly and always ready to help. I tried to remember their names , Jane,Alwin,Jesse,Mike,Nelson...A BIG THANK YOU! They remember that i‘d like to have omelet with everything & banana juice at breakfast, their is always a big smile on their face. I also enjoyed the swimming pool, the white beach and the lovely sunshine! Amarela, see you next time!

Pros: 3rd time to stay in this resort. We love the location, 15 minutes only from Panglao Airport. We love the place - it’s like coming home to an ancestral place in the province. We love the food although pricey. The staff are all nice and helpful.

Cons: The food in the resto for the serving size is overpriced. There are no nearby restaurants outside the resort and so you would have to travel to Tagbilaran to have other options.

Pros: The beach is great, very intimate resort with a genuine feel to it. The design is very rustic Filipino.

Cons: The food could use a bit of an upgrade.

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: Staffs are all attentive to our needs and helpful.

Pros: It is amazing hotel! We decided come back during the same trip in Philippines! It is very well designed, has amazingly huge library, nice spaces not only around pool and beach. Great service too!

Cons: All was amazing!

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: Expectations met! Good location, away from the noisy, boisterous crowds,, with private beach front, huge well-appointed bedooms, good security, fantastic well trained staff!. Special mention to the lady Asst. Manager (name escapes me at the moment) and Mr. Doer Escoto who did a fabulous job of preparing a surprise 75th birthday celebration for my husband. The set-up on the beach that looked like a movie set with flamingoes and strung lights, the one-man band who provided music to sing along with and to dance, the delicious food. It was a night to remember! All these made our stay truly memorable. We were a party of 9 family members and each one extends sincerest appreciation to the efficient and caring staff. Thank you!

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Misled on accommodation.

Pros: Breakfast, location and amenities.

Pros: The privacy of the beach and the area is very nice.

Pros: The hotel has a great pool outdoors with a private beach, which makes staying at the resort nice. The breakfast buffet is very nice, but other than that the other food selections for lunch and dinner is very average and quite pricey for the quality so i would recommend eating at restaurants around the hotel for lunch/dinner. Overall the staff is very attentive and nice! Great place to stay in Panglao Island :)

Pros: everything was amazing starting from checking in, was instantly received by hand towel and a drink

Cons: the weather was horrible during our stay but the service in the resort made our stay better

Pros: Its a perfect place to stay in Bohol. Value for money. Everything is awesome, though its a little bit pricey, but worthit.

Cons: I did a special request in advance, but i havent receive any reply.

Pros: There was really nothing for me to not like! I loved our stay, the room was beyond expectations, the staff was amazingly helpful and cheery, the facilities were truly luxurious! I would come back over and over again. This resort is really the place to go for relaxing and winding down!

Cons: Perhaps the fact that there was a bit of seaweed on the beach area? Also, it wasn't as big of a stretch as I thought it would be. But still as beautiful as I hoped it would be!

Pros: The overall design The confort of the rooms The intimacy of the balcony Transportation to Alona Beach, complimentary bike rental

Cons: There is just one open restaurant Far from attractions Overpriced food, specially breakfast Very little flexibility. The hotel was empty due to coronavirus. We were charged to have a pool view. We weren't lucky about weather. We needed to leave on the only sunny day. When we asked if we could make a late check out, it was difficult to get...

Pros: The ambiance.

Cons: The hot shower was flooded.

Pros: It had such a nice setting, huts amidst the trees and nature. The bed comes with a mosquito net, so no worries about critters while sleeping. The BBQ party was a blast. Nice food at the restaurant. The staff were friendly and responsive to text questions.

Cons: It was hard to get to from the airport without spending a lot on a private trike. Other than this, great place!

Pros: Great hostel, especially the BBQ evening.

Cons: You always have to take a trycicle or scooter to get to the town or beach. Otherwise it‘s at least a 15 min walk. I don‘t get how a ECO Hostel can recommend these tours to their guests!!! They just squeeze people in a tourist van and drive them to the worst plazes on the island! Like the not ethical at all tarsier place, where animals are put in tiny unnatural cages!!!

Pros: Staff, breakfast, room, really nice and quiet place

Cons: Nothing, perfect for that price

Pros: Comfy large space, Wi-Fi work perfect.

Cons: Strange breakfast.

Pros: I loved the farm,it's close to the best beach in panglao

Cons: The food wasn't the best but everything else was great

Cons: Theres no private comfort room, so u have to get out in the middle of the night and look for the nearest cr

Pros: Most of it, location was perfect

Cons: Pillows gave me a neck ache

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: It was clean, there was a fridge in the room and a kettle. Coffee and tea was an additional charge. You also have to pay a 1,000 php deposit when you arrive

Pros: Location is great. Close enough to walk to Alona beach, restaurants and bars but far enough away to avoid the noise

Pros: Lovely apartment, amazing air conditioning which was needed! Friendly staff, great facilities and good to have space outside to chill out. Travelled as a solo female and felt completely safe staying here. Will stay there again if I ever go back!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: For me the location was just right food cleanliness and the way the resort is set out excellent only thing I could say is That the staff were very good but what let them down was the shouting and the clowning around at breakfast time and during the day but otherwise excellent

Cons: Really that I did not like about the result was lovely and clean actually well kept and stuff was good apart from the clowning around her breakfast time and during the day

Pros: Great place to stay; clean, comfortable and quiet. Pool was lovely and there are several choices for breakfast. A free shuttle goes every half hour to take you into Alona beach as it is too far out to walk but only takes about 4-5mins. Would definitely stay here again. They also have a refillable water station which is great!

Cons: If you are picky with food the breakfast may not be the best for you but you can get pancakes or a croissant or cooked eggs and bacon.

Pros: Staff were very friendly, free breakfast everyday, very comfortable bed, the food, the place and staff make you feel home away from home.

Cons: The hot water system in the shower, end up having cold shower everyday, fortunately the weather is not too cold.

Pros: We liked everything!! The location is not central but they have a shuttle bus going to Alona every half an hour till 10.40 pm. The hotel and room were clean every day and the breakfast is great! The staff is also super friendly and the hotel has a really nice atmosphere. They also have a restaurant for guests.

Cons: We liked everything!

Pros: The room was spacious and great pool and bar.

Cons: A little bit out of Alona Beach, they provide regular free shuttle going and coming to Alona Beach which is great. Bathroom needs some work as we experienced smell every time we run the water.

Pros: clean place, friendly staff and good food.

Pros: Very good resort,good breakfast, clean room, nice pool.The staff is very helpfull and since they provide free shuttle to Alona Beach the location isn't a problem. I would definitely recommend it.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: welcome drink, was so comfortable, we could print our ferry tickets there, nice location, would come back!

Pros: Quiet and clean. Good food

Cons: Weak internet

Pros: The staff are lovely and the food was good

Cons: Little bit away from the town but only a short bike ride! There was ants everywhere by the pool who bite so couldnt relax

Pros: Room is clean, bed comfortable, hot water in bathroom. WIFI is ok. Garden is nice. Good swimming pool.

Cons: Breakfast is just so so. Service is not enough

Pros: Pleasant and helpful staff

Cons: Putting toilet paper in a bin instead of flushing.

Pros: Room comfortable, food was good, the gardens were beautiful and well kept. Easy to get a ride into town and inexpensive.

Cons: One thing we noticed which is very unhygienic practice... the girl behind the bar was making fresh fruit juices, she tasted the juice with a spoon, added more sugar and then used the same spoon to re-taste. I have never seen this an any other restaurant anywhere. And she did it not only once.

Pros: Nice place on the beach with good facilities

Cons: There is a new building being built next door which made the place noisey

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: The restaurant, staff, our room and the poll were excellent.

Cons: The beach is not suitable for swimming and the construction work next door was annoying.

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: 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: Was clean in a sense that they cleaned the room regularly. Had good reception area that catered to requests for trips,transportation and etc.

Cons: The photos were deceiving. The place was old and dilapidated...Too many stray dogs around the hotel area and they were lounging around common areas and even inside the lobby hallway.

Pros: The views from the balcony were great and the pool was fantastic!

Cons: The squeaky bed and the shower wasn’t strong enough pressure wise!

Pros: Beautiful hotel , staff were really helpful , food and was good

Cons: As other reviews mention the location is quite far out so not possible to walk anywhere

Pros: location good, but way to hotel horrible. personal perfect.

Cons: way to hotel horrible, so far from town - center.

Pros: The room was comfortable and staff was really nice

Cons: The free toiletries were very small for one person

Pros: Great food. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful view and relaxed atmosphere.

Cons: Access road was bumpy.

Pros: The location! We were hoping for a quiet place and definitely found that. Being a couple hundred meters away from Alona beach makes it quiet place with some privacy. As their description says; it doesn't have a beach, but the pool on the cliff makes up for this. You drop down to the ocean with stairs, with pretty good snorkeling (be careful with the sea urchins in the beginning). Friendly staff, good food.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Bar next to the pool was great ! Service and staff were excellent , view was lovely. Room was neat and clean , food was lovely .

Cons: Bunch of noisy and rude Chinese came , stood next to me having breakfast and started yelling/talking to their friends probably about the view , They just don't get manners at all . Not the property's fault at all and glad I was leaving that day because of them .

Pros: The view was spectacular and very rejuvenating. Food is outstanding and so was the service.

Pros: The staff are incredibly nice and accomodating. The facilities are clean and well maintained. Wide variety of food in the menu and it taste good too as well as reasonably priced. Will definitely be back here again☺

Pros: I enjoyed the sea view from the room. It was really unforgettable.

Cons: wifi is weak. no hot water in the room. We took cold shower during the stay. Already feedback to the front desk yet no positive feedback. Hope the resort can improve on this.
