Panglao hotellia

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

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

Miinukset: 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.

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

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

Plussat: 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.

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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!

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Amazing place and felt very at home

Plussat: The location is absolutely wonderful. Our villa was right on the beach and breathtaking. There was a lovely pool and massage cabins on the beach which were excellent.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very good. However, despite many things on offer, yogurt was basic and sweetened and there was no honey the first day. Not what I would really expect from a hotel at this level. There was a mix up with one of my massage bookings and the reception staff blamed the masseuse which was unreasonable of them. The most disappointing fact was that there were loungers all over the beach, but none of them had any kind of mattresses on them. As I have a bad back, this meant that none of them were usable. There were also loungers a bit like short bean bags, but again with a bad back, no support for the head and neck or long legs. The furniture was also very shabby and looked as though it badly needed replacing. This is not what I expect at a beach resort of this calibre. We also felt that the concierge and his support team were wearing uniforms which weren't clean and also looked very shabby. Considering the amazing location of this hotel, this is all very easy to remedy, but a great shame that the management haven't done something about it earlier.

Plussat: the pool

Miinukset: the extra charge for kids breakfast

Plussat: The beach is private and beautiful. We came across a romantic wedding party. The restaurant is great!

Miinukset: It would be better if this hotel can organize more diving projects. We just hang around the beach while we stay there.

Plussat: The service is exceptional and location is perfect. Not crowded.

Plussat: I highly recommend South Palms resort. The entire resort was tastefully decorated with an array of facilities. The staff were very helpful. The beds were extremely comfortable. There was a great range of food and drinks available. Breakfast buffet outstanding.

Miinukset: Liked everything about the property but would suggest a variation in the dinner menu. Some dishes were a little too expensive. A dinner buffet would have been nice.

Plussat: The team individuals and his management was very supportive and remarkable in solving issues that are related to their costumers. We had myself and my family very good time in this resort. The breakfast was excellent has all the choices you need, also the resort was having enough workforce to comply with all customers needs and inquiries. Wish them all the good luck and sustainability to provide more remarkable services.

Miinukset: Every thing was ok in which I found that ‘ The airport to the resort is 9-10 minutes, recommend for them at least pick up the new arrival guests coming to their resort from any place.

Plussat: Great beachfront location with excellent facilities and service

Miinukset: A bit isolated so you have to travel a bit to eat if you want to try something else

Plussat: See full of star fish.

Miinukset: See is to shallow for swimming.

Plussat: The breakfast was good with sufficient variety. Transfer arrangement from and to the Tagbilaran city port was seamless even though I had to move up our arrival time. I initially advised I would be taking a different speedboat and the property was proactive to confirm that there is no such boat arriving on that day so they wanted to confirm I would not get stranded without pickup if I arrive earlier or later. I had confirmation minutes before the boat departed Cebu City so my entire ride to Bohol I was relaxed knowing the driver will be there to greet us.

Miinukset: If you want beach for swimming, don't stay on the west side of the resort otherwise you will have to walk far to the premium beach adjacent to the Bohol Beach Club. Watch out for sea urchins, they are indeed present there, so swim shoes are highly advisable.

Plussat: Resort grounds were clean and beautiful. Rooms were comfortable. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Pools were clean, sanitary and safe.

Miinukset: The room could have used a little more lighting.

Plussat: Truely the best option at Alona Beach, best location (quiet yet close to all the actions), intimate service, fabulous breakfast, killer view at the pool.

Miinukset: some problems with the phone first, then problems with noise and water leak coming from fixing the AC upstairs at 9pm (my parents already went to bed and were quite mad), but I thought 9pm was still reasonably early and both problems were resolved in a timely manner and no complaints. We were moved upstairs for the phone problem and then to a larger suite for the water leak.

Plussat: Best hotel and service so far in the most beautiful location. Decor is beautiful, room very clean and pools are amazing. Attention to detail is perfect. My favourite hotel so far in Philippines. Staff were very efficient in organising our tours whilst we were in the pool. Staff are very attentive. Breakfast was good with lots of choices even for vegetarians. Dinner at Saffron was delicious.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: It was a really nice and relaxing stay

Plussat: Amazing resort with a stunning view of the Alona beach, two swimming pools, very good Restaurant, big and cozy rooms, warm and friendly staff. Quiet and warm atmosphere. A perfect place to stay for a few days or longer

Miinukset: Maybe the bed was a bit too hard for me but this cannot be a minus as that is too personal

Plussat: They allowed early check in, really appreciate that.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. But it needs more variety. Can't eat the same stuff every morning. Swimming pools were very nice. We enjoyed that a lot! They add extras like cookies in your room everyday, popsicles, cold towels etc which we really appreciated.

Miinukset: Five days before we arrived, I called Amorita Resort and requested an airport pick up since we were arriving at 8:05pm. I gave our round trip flight details, (since I wanted a shuttle to and from the resort to the airport).how many we were etc. I was told to look for someone with an Amorita sign when we arrive at the airport. I was also informed of the price and to just settle at the resort. When we arrived at Panglao airport there was no Amorita shuttle for us. I called the resort and was told there was no booking and to just take a cab. This was really stupid advice since there are no cabs at the airport at that time. I called resort again and they said they would call a driver. A kind policeman said his neighbor had a van for hire and would be at the airport in 5 minutes. What a godsend. I called resort and told them to forget it, we already had a ride. I also booked the van for our ride to the airport. Our ride cost a fraction of what Amorita was charging us. I told Amorita I would write a bad review of my experience. They offered me a free shuttle to the airport. I refused. I would rather pay than take their offer and not be sure if they'll even show up. Also, Amorita does not have it's own beach.

Plussat: Food needs improvement

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

Plussat: Allas-alueista, aamupalasta, viihtyisä kaikin puolin

Miinukset: Minibaari tyhjä, tämän luokan hotellissa luulisi olevan täytettynä

Plussat: Great 5* hotel in front of Alona beach. Many pools and well maintained; towels for pool use! People very nice and always helpful. Breakfast great at both three restaurants with a great variety and quality. Room big enough with balcony and spacious. Could easily arrange transport from Ferry boat with the hotel.

Miinukset: I would expect restaurants to have more local food for dinner and not so western/european dishes. Forgotten to replace used bathroom amenities. Necessary deposit 3000PHP/day (a nit excessive the more days you stay!!)

Plussat: Beachfront,lots of pools,clean

Plussat: Overall!Thumbs up This is my 2nd time in the resort! First was 2years ago and 2nd is this year,

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

Plussat: Beach

Miinukset: staff was unprofessional and made excuses for everything

Plussat: Perfectly designed and managed. Wonderful ambience and staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The multiple swimming pools are a good attraction and hotel amenity. Service and room amenities and services are provided without shortcut. They meet a high standard the reason guests like to stay.

Miinukset: I like the beach,it was clean, except for Sea weeds that were present, the kind rooted at the bottom potential for sea urchin,& the kind that moves around the ocean. Saw dogs around beach leaving animal dirt, which affect an environmental healh issu

Plussat: Everything...we enjoyed our stay

Miinukset: Pricey but worth it

Plussat: Buffet breakfast was great. Well maintained building, rooms and facilities.

Miinukset: Lobby design could have been made better burn overall experience was still great.

Plussat: Henann Resort is a very big resort with amazing pools and beach front facilities. The staff are very kind and accommodating to your needs. It’s perfectly located on the waterfront and within walking distance to anything you need

Miinukset: For being a 5 star resort it’s the little things that could be improved, such as supplying water in the bathrooms for cleaning your teeth. Compared to other resorts/hotels we stayed in the Philippines, Henann felt like it missed the little touches that people remember.

Plussat: Nice massage, although spa is in the basement and doesn't look amazing. Very friendly staff. Food quality was good. They refill your water glass all the time for free when eating. Nice breakfast with plenty of options. Wonderful pool and view of the beach. Very calm. Very nice and modern rooms.

Miinukset: Prices for food and drinks very expensive. Their snorkel tour was twice the price for exactly the same tour we found at Alona Beach (private boat, same stops and timing). Feels a bit like being ripped off by your hotel :( The tour operator they work with was also not very good in explaining us the tours... Im happy we didn't book the tour with them. Bathtub was still a bit dirty when we moved in. Rest was clean. Gym is ok, there's cardio machines and weight. Nothing around to buy food /water or have dinner. No free airport transfer if you book via booking.com

Plussat: The resort is beautiful - the private beach is amazing. The staff are very considerate and try their best to ensure you feel accommodated. The koi fish in the lobby are really cool too, you have the opportunity to feed them upon request. They also have a little games room and play area for kids.

Miinukset: The gym room doesn't have much to it. It would be perfect if they could add more equipment to work on different area's of the body.

Plussat: Parempi, kuin odotin kuvien perusteella. Tykkäsin kovasti. Suosittelen.

Plussat: Beautiful location, a little further away from the main attractions but it is easy to book day trips and be picked up from the airport. Also there were shuttle buses available to go to places like Alona beach. It was great that they had free activities every day. Overall very enjoyable stay, amazing staff.

Plussat: The ambiance, the environment, the place and everything on it. It was beyond amazing!

Plussat: Fine otherwise.

Miinukset: Noisy, lots of small children and music around the pool area, beach not very attractive.

Plussat: The room is amazing and really comfortable. The people from the restaurant were so nice, kind and helpfull. We rented scooters from the concierge and they helped us to maken an amazing route around the island.

Miinukset: The only member of staff who was not as kind as we would have liked, was the lady checking us in. We came at the hotel around 13:00 and asked if we could check in. This took quite some time, which of course can happen if no rooms were available. Eventually we sat down to go through check in proceedings, we were asked if we wanted an upgrade to an ocean view room, which we did not want, then we declined an included breakfast. We however did get a room at that point but got the feeling because we declined both upsell attempts, we got the least appealing room of the hotel. It was situated at the ground floor, across from a maintance entrance and our outside view was over barbed wire firstly and beyond that a stone quarry like, demolition ground. It did not take away any joy from our amazing trip from to this amazing country, however we would have liked it it we had not gotten the feeling that the frontdesk employee was pushing us for buying upgrades.

Plussat: The room is spacious. Staff were really nice and pleasant. Amenities is nice. They have plotted activities everyday.

Miinukset: Bathroom needs renovation. Given that it’s lean season and as disclosed prior checking in, the number of guest is pretty low. Staff could atleast give the guest the best available room they can give. We were entertained like they’re fully booked even if they’re not. The room assigned to us has the ugliest view and I think the least being used because of the location. No free shuttle from Hotel to Airport (vice versa).

Plussat: The staff and facilities are always amazing. Such a stunning property, with great facilities and friendly, helpful staff.

Plussat: The hotels location was great. Right on the beach but also nice and quiet. The staff were fantastic and were very helpful in everything we needed. The food menu is very good, a nice variety of dishes so you won't get bored of the food if you're staying for more than a few days. The room was extremely comfortable. Loved the place

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: From your room it’s a stones throw to the pool, and from there a stones throw to the beach. The staff are wonderful and welcoming, the food is delicious!

Miinukset: Not the fault of the property but there was construction noise from the place next door, and lots of mosquitos at night.

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: Very quiet and beautiful setting

Miinukset: Fairly small rooms and no buffet breakfast

Plussat: Very nice hotel by the sea. Comfortable room with a nice view. Good restaurant. Very friendly staff.

Miinukset: The location is good because it is by the beach, but a bit remote from everything. Motorbike or car is a must.

Plussat: 1.nice private beach 2.nice staff 3.nice food

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: It’s a very quirky property. If you want to get off the beaten track this is a good option. Unfortunately no air con & the fans are pretty loud so others turn them off so I found it quite difficult to sleep. Mosquito nets are provided which is great given the location. Nice outside areas with hammocks - perfect place to read a book & chill - just make sure you put the your mosquito spray on. You can buy home made & grown food there at very reasonable prices - unfortunately does not cover lunch time. I dropped a top in the bathroom & it was brown with dirt when I picked it up - I guess that’s due to being outside as id seen someone already cleaning. Tried to organise transport when I left as it’s quite a remote location & was told to go onto the road (10 min walk in the rain) & hail someone - I found that pretty unhelpful.

Plussat: The rustic set up at the farm, the cleanliness, the very helpful staff that goes beyond to make sure you have a great stay and is here to assist in case of any issues and the breakfast

Plussat: The place looks nice kind of in the middle of the jungle with good common areas. Breakfast is included (not common in the Phillipines) and quite good and complete. Restaurant is very cheap and good. Overall good value for money, clean and cheap.

Miinukset: Rooms are very small. For the showers you have the choice between cold water with some flow or extremely hot (too hot) water with few droplets. Fan in the room was super noisy and the first night there was a party going on close by and could hear everything the DJ was saying from the bedroom. We dealt with 2 guys from staff, one was super nice but the other was really not nice or enthusiastic. You definitely need to rent a motorbike or pay a tricycle to go anywhere.

Plussat: Amazing breakfast and people

Plussat: If you want to feel like camping in the middle of nature this place is great for youm exactly what I needed. The staff are very helpfull too. However, this place is pretty far from Alona beach ( 3 usd for tricycle each way ) but it's abt 25 min walk from a better beach where u can have a great swim. They offer some day trips and we really appreciated the level of details they give you before you sign up for any of the trips so you will go with right expectations. And finally the breakfast is made up of rice, shredded coconuts, some veggies and a banana

Plussat: Staff were very attentive

Miinukset: Short walk to beach down unlit lane

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

Plussat: Friendly staff and accomodating

Plussat: Miellyttävä ympäristö rauhallinen paikka , ranta kuitenkin kävelymatkan päässä

Plussat: Good place with a nice pool and very helpful Reception staff. Aircon is new and work perfectly. We rent a bike to go around.

Miinukset: Furniture starts to need a change, breakfast doesnt seem to include local products, and cleaning need to improve

Plussat: The staff very so nice

Miinukset: Breakfast menu could be better

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: Nothing it was fantastic

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: 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: 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.

Miinukset: Shower hot water was a little spotty.

Plussat: Lovely accommodation and pool.

Miinukset: Shower runs cold but if you run the hot tap in the wash hand basin whilst the shower is on the shower temperature stabilises. One small thing. If you wish to have a drink before dinner, staff want you to order food.

Plussat: - perfect location for visiting Bohol island - wonderful staff, would do anything to help - pickup by van from the ferry port - rent motorcycle - great restaurant and bar in the hotel after a long day exploring the island - quiet

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: Clean, spacious, friendly and helpful staff, great air conditioning.

Miinukset: Woken up every night due to loud speaker from main strip.

Plussat: Excellent value.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.

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