Panglao hotellia

Plussat: fantastic view kind staff

Miinukset: more menu at restaurant

Plussat: Beach with a tropical settings is so relaxing!

Plussat: Wonderful hotel amazing staff, we really enjoy our time , special thanks to Charmaine , virgenia and glex We will come back again definitely.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The resort hosts a row of serene outdoor massage huts by the beach, the masseuses were very professional and the overall experience was great with the infinity sea view and sea breeze. Only bummer was the poor time management, we had to wait in the grass with ants crawling onto our feet for 15mins as the previous guest overran. Would have been better if the staff allowed us to wait somewhere else instead of insisting it’ll be quick when it couldn’t be.

Miinukset: The overall hygiene is concerning given how I woke up with 13 rows of bed bug bites. The resort tried to blame in on mosquitoes that could have been from the beach. However, all the bug bites form lines which was typical of bed bugs. This is a shocker as bed bugs were the last thing I’d expect from a resort that brands itself for a luxurious experience. The shower also broke when we first used it.

Plussat: Cozy and dreamy place. Nice services, well trained staffs. Food was great. You can forget everything which stresses you out when you're lying on a hammock listening to the sound of ocean. The sea was crystal clear. When you snorkel there, you can meet some corals, fish, and some sea urchins. I would definitely choose this resort if I come back to panglao.

Miinukset: The room was a bit small and old

Plussat: The large white quiet beach

Miinukset: The check in time. Chances are visitors will be coming from other places so to wait upon arriving is highly inconvenient.

Plussat: From the start to the end of our stay, five stars all around. Punctual pick-up from the airport - with both hotel staff and our tour guide already waiting and eager to take us around Panglao. The welcome was warm and check-in process was smooth. Our villa was exactly how it was shown in their website and here on booking.com - if not better, in person. It was well-kept and well-designed; I especially liked the use of Philippine materials. Their beach rendered me speechless, it was paradise; mum and I appreciated the efforts of the staff keeping the beachfront clean. The restaurant served delectable dishes - our family tried their breakfast buffet and dinner service and we were beyond satisfied. Lastly, the staff - everyone we have encountered has made our stay that much more memorable. They were polite, more than willing to answer our questions and respond to our requests, and thoughtful enough to remember that it was my mum's 60th birthday (even if we just casually inquired about availble arrangements during check-in) and gave her a simple but sweet surprise. To cap this off, I would definitely stay at this property again and recommend it to anyone thinking of going to Bohol.

Plussat: everything

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: It has the most clean beach in Panglao. The premium beach front room is very nice.

Miinukset: Hope they will have more options of food.

Plussat: Kaunis paikka. Hyvä ruoka. Kiva allas.

Miinukset: Heikko wifi. Kallis pesula ja juomat.

Plussat: Hotel staff were polite and very accommodating. Resort had scheduled activities (e.g. yoga, archery) that guests can avail of for free. Nice pool (albeit a bit shallow) with complimentary mango popsicles while you lounge.

Miinukset: Saffron (restaurant) fell short of expectations. Read reviews raving about the food but in our experience, food was ok but not great. Risotto in particular was very salty and the service was quite slow. Waited for an hour before our food was served, even the cocktails took a while. Breakfast selection was not as plentiful given the quality of the resort. Filipino viand was limited to just 1.

Plussat: What an amazing place , specially the manager of the villas BRAYAN.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The équipement outside and the location is perfect.food is nice

Miinukset: We ask for a king bed with notice but only tell us not available the day we check in

Plussat: Accommodation is exceptional. Hospitality at its finest! Worth every penny. Staff are very polite and service is exceptional.

Plussat: Great pool & fantastic F&B staff, Rob, Leo & Andrew looked after us really well throughout the weekend.

Miinukset: The beach is noisy, overcrowded with far too many leaving their plastic footprint behind. I wouldn’t recommend

Plussat: Perfect location,awesome swimming pool,all staffs are so nice and kind ,the food at restaurant is tasty and price is reasonable,room is clean and comfortable,

Plussat: Uima-altaat. Huone. Aurinkotuolit. Sunset coctails. Wifi.

Miinukset: Henkilökunta. Palvelu. Siivous. Ei huomioitu pyytämättä häämatkaa. Vastaanoton ja housekeepingin välillä kommunikaatio ei toimi. Huono hinta-laatusuhde. Palvelut ja ruoka kallista.

Plussat: Not only the service is in place, but all the staff are very friendly and treat you like friends. The facilities are also very good. We spent a pleasant time in the two pools, the restaurant and the lobby. Alona beach is very close. I will stay here for a few days next time.

Miinukset: Restaurant food is mediocre.

Plussat: Tranquil. Second time to the hotel and it did not disappoint. Nice to be overlooking the beach and away from the selfie taking crowds. Beach is now sadly busy and Alona town has changed and not for the better (Mc Donalds on the way). Still cannot fault the hotel tbf

Miinukset: Hotel is going for luxury but catering for the buffet crowds. Restaurant was bit overrun in the evening with all you can eat mentality, felt bit understaffed with food and dirty plates mounting up.

Plussat: Food is okay staff were so friendly and courteous facilities clean

Miinukset: Difficulty in locking off and on the door knob of the room

Plussat: Worth relaxing and staff are very courteous

Miinukset: Difficult to open the door

Plussat: Food needs improvement

Miinukset: Better food and better security at the sea side because our companions lost their shirts while swimming

Plussat: The staff were very attentive and well trained. They were courteous and friendly. The pool bar staff were exceptionally helpful. The entire hotel experience is top notch and a well deserved five-star rating.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The whole experience to the resort was awesome. We've been there twice, awesome!

Plussat: 1.Very kind and nice stuffs with thoughtful service 2. Many pools for different kinds of guests. 3. Beautiful swimming with cool bar

Miinukset: High price but not luxury enough

Plussat: Breakfast was so good but a littel bit crowded. The best thing in this hote is absolutely swimming pool with verious depth from 1.2m to 3.0m.

Miinukset: The room cleaning was not done when I came back to the room even I gave sign them during morning time.

Plussat: Convenient location, very clean and complete services. Excellent staff !

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I like the staff that were very corteuos

Plussat: The swimming pool

Miinukset: The location of our room was at the side of the public road. It was so noisy at night. The motor cycles were too loud. So uncomfortable! The location of our room was terrible.

Plussat: Breakfast buffet was great, hotel location is excellent. The Spa is the place to be! The receptionist and the massage therapists are the best! They are doing an excellent job. Their services went beyond my expectation.

Miinukset: Front desk employees just keep on what they are doing instead of calling the guest while standing and wait for the employees attention. Servers at the restaurant call be more accommodating and come to the table and ask how we are doing.

Plussat: The wonderful pool was connected to our room and it was so cool. I loved the color of this place. All the agents were kind and nice.

Miinukset: We got back to room around 11am but room has not been cleaned up yet. We waited around 1 hour for cleaning service. From the Ferry port we should have paid extra fee. It would be better to have complementary shuttle service from the port.

Plussat: Good swimming pool. Clean and big room.

Miinukset: 1. exchange rate is too high commission. 2. we arranged transfer to ferry terminal. When we arrive, all ferry has been cancelled before our departure time in hotel. It should be informed to the guests as it is only way to out from Bohol. 3. Smocking is not allowd on the swimming pool bar and smocking area is not from the bar. No staff stop smocking people even children on side.

Plussat: Nice hotel, great beach, pool, restaurants and bars

Miinukset: Various activities such as a whale-shark watching trip was cancelled supposedly due to the weather although the weather was fine and other operators were running boat trips. Also, the hotel charge an absurd amount to allow taxis or tricycles to pickup from the hotel (which is daft since the public road is only around 100m away).

Plussat: Place was good for relaxation

Miinukset: Non

Plussat: Staff are very helpful, they go extra mile to meet the needs of the guest. One example was when my family had breakfast buffet and they did not have garlic rice from the selection, the staff offered to have the chef make garlic rice for me. I really appreciated.One small gesture like this makes a huge impact to guest satisfaction.

Miinukset: They only have 2 restaurants and one was usually closed.

Plussat: Beach was clean not like other beaches in the area. Staff were excellent they have shatel to Alona beach, nice restaurant

Miinukset: Pillows were a bit stiff

Plussat: Good was good. Staff was friendly.

Miinukset: I think the quality of the swimming pool water was not very good.

Plussat: Interiors

Miinukset: Can get a little boring there

Plussat: The amenities are wonderful and the rooms are spacious and clean . Staff are very friendly and pool and beach are great.

Miinukset: It’s far away from other places to eat and you don’t want to venture out anywhere and just eat hotel restaurant food which is quite pricey. But other than that we had a wonderful stay and we had so much fun.

Plussat: Great food

Plussat: Friendly staff, wonderful location, excellent landscaping and amenities

Miinukset: Food was slightly above average

Plussat: The staff specially the front desk people were so accomodating. I would also like to conpliment the hotel's FB Manager.

Miinukset: The porch of my room could do a little cleaning or a spark. Another thing is that the room service person was knocking at our door even if the DO NOT DISTURB sign was being lit.

Plussat: A beautiful hotel, amazingly decorated. Very friendly staff. Excellent to spend a few relaxing days!

Miinukset: The food portions at the restaurant are very small. The food is nice though!

Plussat: Very relaxing and friendly staff

Plussat: The hospitality, friendliness, attentiveness and quick services of the staff. The room is beautiful and clean Location is great, relaxing and clean. Beach front! Food is delicious! I love Amarela Resort and will surely go back

Miinukset: Unexpected brownout but recovered less than a minute.

Plussat: 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

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

Plussat: Pretty much everything

Miinukset: The room interior looked a little dated

Plussat: 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!

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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!

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: The style of the resort decorate

Miinukset: The flying when have breakfast

Plussat: Has a pool & beachfront. Staff was friendly & helpful. Clean hotel. Good breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: Hidden charges. Check your bill. Lots of extra charges upon paying.

Plussat: 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.

Plussat: 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 ❤️

Plussat: I liked the vibe of the Farm. It was nicely done, it was really back to basics! It was really quite at night. Friendly dogs at the property.

Miinukset: Mattress and pillows were a bit humid, it’s pretty far from everything. But then again “pretty far” is relative on a small island. 15 minutes motorbike ride and you are at Alone Beach.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.

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

Plussat: Original place. Good breakfast.

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

Plussat: Very good food with lovely vegetarian options and reasonable prices. Lovely free breakfast as well. Staff were very friendly and made an active effort to learn our names. Lots of toilets and showers with hot water. Good WiFi though it was only available in the communal area. Very good communal area. Staff were very helpful for booking tours. Close to a nice beach. Met very nice people there! Really lovely dogs - special mention for Simba.

Miinukset: Only 1 power socket in the room. Not many food places nearby but thankfully the hostel food was good. 15 minute walk to the beach but this wasn't too bad. No WiFi in the rooms which was a bit annoying.

Plussat: Epic bbq on Saturday’s. Great property and you can hire scooters to get around the island easily.

Plussat: The staff are lovely and the puppy Simba is great to hang out with. Good breakfast with free coffee and comfy hammocks.

Miinukset: It's a bit far from everything so renting a bike is pretty essental.

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

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

Miinukset: 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

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Staff very helpful

Miinukset: Very bad breakfast Very noisy (construction around)

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

Miinukset: Needs renovation

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Miellyttävä ympäristö rauhallinen paikka , ranta kuitenkin kävelymatkan päässä

Plussat: Service. People very helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very clean

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: The hotel apartments and the whole property are well maintained. The bed is so comfortable and the air condition is quality. We liked the restaurant/bar in the middle where we can relax and hang out in the evening. We liked the lovely plants and beautiful flowers around the property. We especially liked the staff in this hotel who are always so kind to help us out with our daily trips and needs as well as serving us super breakfast. We love the Filipino breakfast being served by ate Gina.. Kuya Edwin is so helpful and genuine in giving us advise on our daily trips. And the rest of the staff at the reception and restaurants are all super helpful and serves always with a smile. Thank you Alona team and Keep it up!!!

Miinukset: Location can be of a problem esp if you have to walk in the heat and with kids. And if you take tricycle or van for a transfer they can get pricey each time you leave the hotel. The streets have no walking pavement and makes it a bit uncomfortable to walk next to motorists. Nothing to do with the hotel. But things I dislike is the short walk to the beach. Its sad that residents along the way seemed to not care about their place, its sad to see plastics lying around empty lots. They could make the place so much better.. if kept clean, more visitors will come and everybody will be happy.

Plussat: The room is quite good. The woman in the restaurant is very nice and friendly. Location: although the way to go to hotel is a bit dark at night (just a bit), it is about 100 m from the main road where you can find most of the restaurants.

Miinukset: The bathroom is old fashioned comparing with the room. It should be reformed. We had a little problem during check out as our booking.com reservation said that the payment would be done in the 60 days before the arrival by the credit card informed when we made the reservation but they told us that we had to pay it. We did not have cash enough because we only changed what we were supposed to spend but we could make the payment by credit card, although this option made us pay an extra 4% of the balance.

Plussat: Extremely friendly staff with a lot of attention to details. Location was 10min walk to the beach and in a really quiet area

Miinukset: A lot of mosquitoes and maybe missing a pool.

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

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

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

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

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

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

Plussat: Most of all the exceptional and accommodating staff and the outstanding rooms..so clean n so good..

Miinukset: The whole surrounding.Its relaxing.

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

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

Plussat: 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

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: The swimming pool

Miinukset: The road along the way

Plussat: 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.

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

Plussat: Location is peaceful given it is removed from the busy touristy area. The pool is nice. The staff are very friendly.

Miinukset: A bit of a walk from places. They have a free mini bus transfer, but it was not always at the pick up point at alona beach. The breakfast was not the best. Not a great selection. Mainly just eggs and toasted sandwich (with the sliced processed cheese and strange looking ham, which I'm not a fan of).

Plussat: Relaxed athmosphere. Enthousiastic / helpfull staff.

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

Plussat: The location is not good. Too far from the beach although a shuttle is provided.

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

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

Plussat: Our room was located on the ground floor and near the pool which was nice.. Room is clean and we always get fresh towels. Staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. Breakfast was good and there's a free shuttle to Alona Beach every half an hour.

Miinukset: Smell of water from shower was bad. Also, it would be nice yo have a complimentary coffee and tea in the room instead of going out. Can't bring food in the room as it's not allowed.

Plussat: Room size ideal, two pools, nice restaurant, quiet location, shuttle bus every 30 mins and very nice staff

Miinukset: Not a lot to dislike, the property is a bit isolated but that’s what makes it a perfect place to stay away from crowded Alona beach

Plussat: Ambience.

Miinukset: Water.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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).

Plussat: The staff were amazing! The food was excellent we ate at the hotel many times the pool was beautiful shuttle to town was great and timely

Miinukset: Loved it all

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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)

Miinukset: 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 !

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

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

Plussat: Beautiful sunsets. The restaurant was exceptional, probably the best food we ate in the Philippines. The room was very large and we had a lovely patio.

Miinukset: The room was tired. A fresh coat of paint would help. Older bathroom, but it was adequate. Matteress was foam, and sheets were old. New towels would also help.

Plussat: Nice food and service.

Miinukset: Nothing to mention.

Plussat: Staff, restaurant, pool

Miinukset: 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...

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

Miinukset: Dogs in the restaurant area

Plussat: 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!

Miinukset: 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)

Plussat: 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.

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

Plussat: Great pool. Excellent room. Good restauramt and pool staff. Room was great value for the price. Well maintained grounds.

Miinukset: As always in Philippines, staff could be more responsive to guest's needs. Check out was unnecessay long.

Plussat: Siisti ja hyvin hoidettu Resort.

Miinukset: Sivussa palveluista, ravintoloista ja sukelluskeskuksista. Jos Villa ei ole rannalla, niin näkymä on huono. Käytännössä katsot seuraavan talon seinää. Jos haluat polttaa esim. sikarin tai tupakkaa, niin sinun pitää mennä vastaanottoalueen lähelle tupakointipaikalle. Melko kolkko paikka. Hinta/laatu ei kohtaa.

Plussat: Brand new hotel - nice rooms and facilities

Miinukset: The pool is in a bad position: after 3 PM comes the shade of the main building!

Plussat: The staff did exceptionally well, however, I felt they had limited authority to make even the smallest decisions. I had to wait until they spoke to someone higher and when I was given an answer it was not complete and they had to get back with me again later. Otherwise, they were friendly and very helpful.

Miinukset: Our rooms were not fixed. Room 420 had a musty smell and room 418 had a leaky shower room. I asked for a rental car and I was given a car that was old. I expected a newer car from a first class resort.

Plussat: Excellent customer service from the hotel staff, well done! Free use of kayak and SUP boards. Good breakfast with plenty of choices. Room was comfortable and clean.

Miinukset: The beach was rocky and not the sandy beach front we were expecting. There should be more frequent shuttle service to and from Alona because there were too many people crammed in one vehicle. We took a bus to the hotel and would have liked it if the hotel could have sent a buggy to pick us up from the guard house. The bidet hose in the bathroom was too short to use comfortably.

Plussat: The place is clean and its staffs are wonderful. They’ve attended immediately of the guests request and need. They’re so polite and helpful in many ways. The swimming pool areas are exceptionally clean!

Miinukset: The beach area is not what I’m expecting in Panglao Beaches.

Plussat: The rooms are spacious.

Miinukset: The coffee mug inside the room was dirty. Upon coming in, the toilet was not cleaned / flushed properly which I immediately highlighted yo the staff who helped us with our luggage.

Plussat: The location of my room.. And I like the pizza very much.

Miinukset: When we entered the comfort room there's a little bad smell..I don't know where it came from.

Plussat: The bed is firm and comfortable

Miinukset: The price of food

Plussat: The rooms and facility were very clean, and the promptness was excellent. It was hard to get through for Room service. The Staff was great except for the Reception desk, one person need to be replaced!

Miinukset: I didn't like the seafood buffet that cost me an astronomical amount for the quality of the food. Some of the seafood was very old, dead crabs, dead mussels that were so old that the mussels became pasty, as well as the crabs meat, the only thing that was fresh was the shrimp and a fish whose eyes were not sunkened in, I selected that one fish. It was pathetic. I ordered some Bufallo wings on the first day of my arrival at the Bridge that was so old the meat was dark and old, I complained the to manger and nothing happened. By the way, I was the only one at the seafood Buffet that night, the only one stupid enough to pay such a high price thinking it would be a great time. It was the worst in my entire life I had ever seen !

Plussat: I like the decor of the rooms. I really like the big bathrooms.

Miinukset: I didn't like that we couldnt use all the pools. The beach front was disappointing. I didn't like the timing of the bus in Panglao.

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

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

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

Plussat: 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

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

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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 :)

Plussat: The location is excellent for travellers who are joining dive tour there. It is just about 10-minute walk to the beach and about 15-minute walk to the central area of the city. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and efficient, breakfast and gardens were lovely. Would definitely recommend Vanilla Sky :)

Plussat: The ocean view

Plussat: First off, the staff are awesome! Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and went the extra mile when we misplaced our room key. The double room is a great value, and the bed was comfy. The grounds themselves are really nice with a lovely pool area, and the location is great. Alona Beach is a 5-minute bike taxi away, and the area the resort is located in is calm and peaceful with a legit convenience store across the street.

Miinukset: The restaurant was quite expensive for the quality we felt, so eating at other places was a necessity after a couple days. The tour took through the resort to go to Balicasag island was great (we had a private boat and took off from the resort beach), but definitely quite a bit more expensive than booking elsewhere. Lastly, the shower pressure is very weak, and there's a bit of a funky smell that I thought was coming from the drain (this is relatively common in the Philippines from what I gathered).

Plussat: The staff and location were both very good.

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

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Everything. Staff were happy helpful and enthusiastic and nothing was problem. Food was great too!!

Miinukset: Nothing.

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

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

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

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

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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!!

Plussat: Palvelu oli hyvää, huoneet oli siistejä, uima-allas oli hyvä koska oma uimaranta on uimakelvoton (tammikuu 2019). Kyytien tilaaminen kävi kätevästi respan kautta. Hotellin puolesta tarjottiin paljon retkiä ja mm sukellusta.

Miinukset: Ruoka ja juoma oli kallista verrattuna yleiseen hintatasoon. Hotelli sijaitsi keskustan palveluja syrjemmässä jonka vuoksi kulkemiseen meni rahaa enemmän.

Plussat: They really surprised us when they make our bed extra nice and special. We are a newly weeded couple and we are having a honeymoon i am so happy for making our bed so special and memorable :)
