“Pros & Cons”

Pros: Our stay here was part of a package deal. Hotel is stones throw away from the airport. Approx 1 to 2 minute drive by car (not sure if they offered a shuttle). Walkable but I do not recommend. The airport is also very nice, i might add. Very quiet side of town if that is your thing. Hot… Plus

Pros: Our stay here was part of a package deal. Hotel is stones throw away from the airport. Approx 1 to 2 minute drive by car (not sure if they offered a shuttle). Walkable but I do not recommend. The airport is also very nice, i might add. Very quiet side of town if that is your thing. Hotel is very much family oriented; lots of kids during our stay. Our room sliding door walks right out to the pool; very nice patio/balcony to lounge relax and read. Staff are nice & welcoming (especially the friendly people in the laundry room that always greet you with a smile when you pass by). The restaurant staff are also attentive. Tip: There is an amazing laundrymat across the street where you can drop off your dirties & they will deliver it back to your hotel folded & packed. Cons: Location might be great for an early morning flight, but stuck @ this area with not much to do. You will need a tricycle/tuk-tuk 150pesos to Alona Beach where all the action is. Being a family oriented hotel, can't enjoy the pool during our stay - too crowded with kids! Our room had a few maintenance issues: it was dark; needs illuminating with brighter bulbs. The toilet seat was wobbling & needed to be tightened. The air condition was not cooling; dirty filter overdue (bad unhealthy moldy smell!). The small sink faucet (no knob control) jets out water that splashes and everywhere around you gets instantly wet. The shower head needs to be replaced because water was projecting towards the outside window (this is funny because people that walk alongside the hallway will get drenched!). I informed the front desk about this during check out but she did not take notes like it didn't matter - oh well. Restaurant was hit or miss - they ran out of ingredients or a specific breakfast item (is anyone responsible for taking inventory?). I suggest going to Alona Beach where all the restaurants are.

“Wonderful Stay”

We initially booked for 1 night, but after seeing the hotel, we decided to extend for additional 2 nights. My family enjoyed the room with pool access. The place is decent, quiet, and comfortable enough. Good hotel! Wonderful receptionist!

“Plutot bien”

Un hôtel charmant et atypique, avec des chambres dotées de terrasses donnant directement sur la piscine, et un personnel très accueillant.

Un hôtel charmant et atypique, avec des chambres dotées de terrasses donnant directement sur la piscine, et un personnel très accueillant. Cependant, quelques aspects pourraient être améliorés : la climatisation est assez bruyante, il n’y a pas d’eau chaude, et l’insonorisation des chambres est limitée, ce qui peut rendre les bruits extérieurs un peu gênants. Par ailleurs, bien que l’hôtel indique que la plage se trouve à 9 minutes à pied, le trajet est plutôt d’une trentaine de minutes (mais il est facile de trouver un tuktuk pour s’y rendre).

“Pleasant Stay in Panglao, Bohol”

Very pleasant resort to stay at on budget. Poolside rooms are a nice touch. Our room was clean and the bathroom was a nice size. The water pressure was good and you had hot water too. Would recommend if you are on a budget. Just a little further out but near the airport.
