Disappointing stay at Hennan Tawala. Chose this place because it mentioned kids stay free, the pool…read morelooked inviting in pictures and thought we were allowed to visit the other Hennan pools in the same compound but were we wrong! Hennan Tawala pool appears large but is actually 4 pools divided in 4 sections that doesn't even connect. Our room was far from the beach and still had some walking distance. Had issues connecting my devices to their WiFi. The pool water was cold. They have 2 jacuzzis but all had cold water too. This place charge more than the other hotels in the area for sub-par service. I was charged extra for my 8year old who is considered an adult in their perspective. We were also charged extra for towels we never redeemed. This place will find every reason to charge their customers extra. They will charge you extra if you try to bring food from outside to your room too. I must say the best part of our stay was breakfast & the worst part was the extra charges, cold showers, cold water, and COLD treatment from their manager specifically the front staff/manager Jonabelle when trying to reason regarding extra charges. This place was definitely EXTRA (charges) and so OVER-rated. Not too kid friendly as they charged extra for 6years and older. They do not offer anything for the kids except to take a dip in their frigid pools. We will not be returning nor will we recommend. Save yourself the money & headache because the pictures shown on their sites are all just sugar coating. Note:. Had I known Hennan Tawala would be so shady, we wouldn't have stayed there at all. we are getting far better treatment, shown more honesty, and feel more relaxed at a 3 star actual beachfront hotel in Panglao. Do better Hennan Tawala!!

Well, this time I went for broke at Henann and rented a Villa that had a private mini pool and…read morepatio. The Villa has extra security and a cart service to drive you around the resort. It is not located on the beach, but it's in the center of the resort. You have three Henann hotels here's side by side. The service here at At Henann Alona, I think, is much better than any of the Henanns that I've stayed at in Boracay. The main negative here is that if you stayed at Henann before, you know they have some of the worst non-HD flat screen TV's of any major hotel chain in the Philippines. Also, the lighting in the bathroom is in need of more brightness at the mirrors, especially if you need to be looking at yourself shaving. Other than that, I think having a mini pool I didn't have to share was a plus.

When I was booking for a hotel in Alona Beach , Panglao Island Bohol, I got several recommendations…read morefrom former work colleague who are also from Bohol but most of their recommendations where booked already or a little bit out of my budget. I found Panglao Regents Park , it was still pricey but compared to most resort in the area, it was the better alternative. The resort specifically stress that they are not a beach front resort, it takes about 10 minutes walk to reach the beach area which is fine with since it gets a little bit noisy near the beach at night. Rooms : Spacious enough. We booked the room in the main building with a pool view. The little boy who was with us was very happy to know that there is a pool right outside the room. Food/Drinks: Decent enough. My parents found it a little pricey so we usually eat outside. We did try some of their drinks and side dishes. Pinacolada definitely needs some more improvement. Staff : Very polite and friendly. The whole place is very well maintained. The rooms are cleaned everyday, so we get fresh sheets and towels. The water in the shower smells a little bit weird but nobody got any allergic reaction so it might just be the water treatment. Will I ever go there again ? Maybe. But for those who are planning to visit Alona Beach, I think this is a good and affordable place to stay.

I got this hotel through Expedia.com. The reviews was quite interesting and seem very legit…read more Although I don't usually go through the reviews but the feedback from the previous traveller was pretty engaging. I gotta be honest it was little expensive in my budget however it was one of the hotel in the area that has swimming pool. Thought it was a great amenities to relax after a long day at the beach. The hotel is located right at the heart of Brgy. Tawala and it's 5 minutes walk to the beach. I absolutely love where this place situated because its far from chaos and tourist. As much as I wanted to stay right in front of the beach I also like my quite time. The hotel is divided into two buildings. Its also has a gym and restaurant. Unfortunately the gym is not free. If you fancy dining in and feel tired; you can dine in at the pool area. The hotel also offers relaxation and tours. Convenient store and restaurants are just few steps away from the hotel. It was busy when I arrive at the hotel but the front desk was fast and efficient. I thought the room was clean and spacious. The bathroom and shower was fine. The bed was comfortable. Overall, the entire room was standard and it's exactly what you pay. What I loved the most about this hotel was the staffs are honest and polite. I like how they interact with their guest, the treated you like your at home. I love every single minute of it. For sure, I will definitely come back.

This place is way overpriced for everything. Omg. No shuttle bus to anywhere and very boring…read moreactivities at the resort. For 1500 dollars a night you would think there would be better things to do. Only nice thing I can say is the room was nice. It had a private swimming pool and jet spa which was nice and fancy. What I didn't like was that the tiki let and the shower was outside which made it weird and creepy. The lock to the front door was very flimsy and weak. It wasn't very secure, anyone could push the door open with little or no force. The bathroom doors which led to the showers were weak as well. Overpriced jet skis Overpriced food Overpriced drinks.

I didn't want to do any sight seeing in Bohol. I never wanted to leave but we were visiting and should do some touristy things. The pool was gorgeous. Not that many villas were booked so it was nice. Felt like we were the only ones there. I knew it was a fancy place but after being picked up I was surprised to see the staff waiting at the front with leis. Such an amazing warm welcome! Yes I don't know how to act in such a fancy place. It was such a nice treat. During the entire stay in Eskaya, every staff would stop what they are doing while we walk by to greet us a friendly "hello" and "good morning." So friendly! Our first night we had an amazing night eating on the beach! It was so beautiful. They also had a quartet of guitar players singing us fun songs and my aunts got up to dance. Breakfast was included so we ate a delicious meal every morning. Everything in the restaurant was so good! I loved swimming and getting a fresh mango or watermelon shake everytime. My aunt loved getting the fresh buko juice. I had an amazing time in Bohol and a wonderful stay at Eskaya. 5 star stay and 5 star experience!

Bohol Beach Club was the third resort I stayed at during my Philippines trip, and this spot is completely gorgeous. From the white sand on the beach to the crystal blue water and the tall palm trees, this is true paradise. I really enjoyed staying here. Being so close to the picturesque beach was wonderful. It truly felt like a vacation with the fresh air and ocean breeze. The resort room was spacious and comfortable, and I loved how it was conveniently located near the beach and the resort's restaurant. The resort's restaurant was great as well! They offer an awesome complimentary breakfast buffet featuring rotating Filipino favorites like pancit, longanisa and adobo. For lunch and dinner, there is sit down service with a menu that had various Filipino dishes, along with other Asian and Western entrees. I absolutely loved that they featured native cuisine and drinks. One of the waiters even offered me a complimentary native hot chocolate and I also got to try an ube tart made of Bohol's famous kinampay. On the weekends, the resort's restaurant host acoustic sessions right in front of the beach. Enjoying live singing while having a delicious dinner was such a lovely touch. Last but not least, customer service here was excellent. One day, it started raining and one of the resort employees noticed us without an umbrella and trying to take cover under a building. He personally ran over and gave us an umbrella to borrow. I truly appreciated his kindness. If I ever find myself in Bohol again, I would definitely choose Bohol Beach Club to stay at. From a beautiful beach front to delicious food and exceptional customer service, this place truly is beachside bliss.

The gym is decently sized, the pools are beautiful and warm water, the wash up showers outside are stocked, the secret beach is a plus, the Alina beach is literally walking distance, and their free breakfast buffet is sooooo good! Wish I could go back soon, highly recommend!

Upon getting there, they give you welcome drinks and some moist towel to freshen up. We had the Jr Suite, and it was spacious. The room came with a welcome fruit basket (with 2 sweet mangoes and banana) and a bottle of water that they always change. The staff are excellent, which makes me proud to be a filipino. The facility is well kept, updated, and clean. The Saffron Restaurant offers good food which we got to try throughout our stay. Some items on the menu are meh and some were good. We also went for a massage at the Sea Tree Spa. The massage was relaxing. They worked on our backs and felt relieved after. Overall, we will be back. It was a good first stay at Amorita. I HIGHLY recommend this resort to anyone wanting to go to Bohol

I used a tour company to book our time in the Philippines as there is a lot of coordination with Island hopping. I trusted all their choices and this one surely didn't disappoint. Located in a gated area with multiple levels of security, it was quiet and peaceful. We stayed during ESEAN, and even with extra events going on, the place was incredibly relaxing. Our room had its own pool. It 2as shared with 3 other rooms, but pretty much private and open 24 hrs. The room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. A refillable water station was right outside our door. The food here is delicious. Breakfast was included with our stay and had so much variety. We ate seven meals on site and enjoyed it all. The grounds were fantastic! A big pool that never felt crowded, a couple restaurants, pool bar/restaurant, nightly welcome show, and more. A quick 5 minute tuktuk into town to enjoy an evening out was easy and convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

After my experience…read moreat Alona Beach I asked my hostel receptionist where would she recommend I go for a calm and chill relaxing beach. She recommended South Palms Resort. At first u was hesitant because I thought I would have to pay for a day pass or something. She assured me that it's housed on a public beach and that the resort lets non guest enter. I spent an entire day here and I was in awe. The workers were so nice and kind. You can use their beach chairs too! You are encouraged to order something but it's not forced upon you. Honestly I wish I knew about this place before. I recommend everyone to come here. very relaxing with a real wide beach and space to move around unlike Alona. Also no beach sellers! Just pure perfection.

This resort was amazing and great for everyone!…read more I came here in February with the majority of my family. We were a group of 10, My Aunt, two cousins, my cousin's girl friend, My mom, my sister, my brother, my brother's fiancé, and my daughter and I. Despite our age gaps, we all enjoyed our time here! The ENTIRE staff was very welcoming and friendly! Our rooms were GORGEOUS... especially our bathroom which was partly outdoors. We had a beautiful tub and a rainforest shower head next to it. I LOOOOVE that they had a pool right in front of our room (and the bar) and that it was open late! After our adventure throughout Bohol, we had 4 hours until dinner (which was also at the resort). There were chairs between the pool and the bar so we left our stuff there while we played in the (huge) pool and went back to get snacks and drinks. For people who don't drink alcohol, their watermelon and mango shakes were AMAZING. Definitely a must have to sip on while sitting pool side. The snacks are also pretty good as well! We finally got to try qwek-qwek and we LOVED IT! What I loved about the pool was the middle section. There's a bridge that leads from one side of the resort to the other and in the middle of the bridge it leads down to the middle of the pool where they have chairs to it on (the water for this section goes above the ankle. My mom and aunt got to sit there and gossip while the rest of us were playing around in the pool with my daughter. We had Dinner and breakfast there and both were amazing. We didn't have enough time to get massages or check out the beach part of the resort. 10/10 would recommend staying here! I am definitely coming back next time I'm in Bohol!

We had a team building event here in addition to staying here. The whole resort is very well maintained especially the landscaping. I was impressed because there was large area of green area! Drawback is that there is no soft Sandy beach, they have this beach area where you can get on the kayak waterboard but because of the sand and the tide you can't use it for sun tanning but they have lots of chairs and pools for you. We spent our time in the pools and had a great day. The room is VERY NICE. Love the floating beds, first time ever seeing it. There is natural light coming into bathroom and rock floor shower and jacuzzi bath tube. I always go for a bubble bath when they have this in the hotel rooms. Also great desk for office work. As for the team building they served us a lot of meals and food, had a great room to facilitate our team building exercises. Thank you! Everyone really enjoyed it! Will be going back next time I'm in Bohol!

Recently enjoyed my stay at the Bellevue Resort for our recent family reunion…read more I remembered a much different Bohol when we would visit as kids growing up, but with the new airport on Panglao... it's super convenient to fly in and just a quick ride to this resort. Hotel has a gate (w/guard) but you can easily walk out and find local laundry services (other than what is offered at the hotel). There's also a small shopping center that is walking distance with a few restaurants and shops. Staff and service were fantastic as everyone is super friendly and they almost seem to go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and are enjoying your stay. The infinity pool is fantastic (for kids and adults)..... nice to also have the beach option but this part of the island is more remote... as the other reviews state, you can find better beaches at other resorts, but here it is more quiet and family oriented. Breakfast Buffet was superb with a rotation of offerings for vegetarians and omnivores alike. Special request items (eggs cooked to order, etc.) are just an ask away.

The Hotel is poorly connected to the beach.

As for the infrastructure of the hotel, this has a pool and a very small green area. The Bar/restaurant, poolside, serves no meals and breakfast which is not included in the price, I found it expensive and scarce.
