Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish, and we would absolutely stay here again.

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.

Had a dinner served beach side with the family and it was one of the best meals during our Phillipines trip. Great place to unwind and feel the cool ocean breeze. While we were here there were not many other guests, it often felt like we had the place to ourselves. A little difficult to get to, hire a driver that knows the lay of the land, I would not recommend driving there yourself if you are not familiar with the area. Overall we enjoyed our time here a lot and I would definitely recommend it.

I was told to visit Bohol so I did some research and chose to stay in the Alona Beach area. This…read moreproperty had excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and Booking.com, so I took a chance and stayed here. I was weirded out by the booking process, which required submitting half the total cost of the stay via wire transfer or PayPal, which is something scammers do. Even more disturbing was that I messaged them via booking.com to accept that they recieved the deposit thru PayPal and they did not respond. In the US, this is discouraging for travelers since it is common practice to use credit cards since they are safer for the consumer. Luckily, it was not a scam and I was able to check in with no problem. It's worth noting that this property is cash only in every regard. They only accept cash, which means you need to bring a big wad of pesos with you. The bill on checkout is also paid via cash, as is the restaurant tab or any expenses you may incur. They should probably look into accepting at least Mastercard or Visa, since no credit card especially when reserving is a dealbreaker for cautious people. The resort is very small but very nice, with only a few bungalows. That meant we didn't really see many other guests for the duration of our stay. There is an onsite restaurant and a small but nice pool. There is a laundry service (3rd party, but handled by the property). They are also able to help you arrange tours and rides to and from the airport. They also rent motorbikes, if you are so inclined. I think the best way to describe this resort is, for private people who want to be left alone. The room itself was half of a duplex, with a nice bathroom and functional design. The air conditioner worked wonderfully, and I was able to have many nights of good sleep. The property itself is nicely maintained. We ate at the restaurant quite a bit, for breakfast and for dinner. The food is excellent quality and the prices are fair for the area. My only reservations about this property were that 1- It can be difficult to find, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area. Even some drivers had no idea where it was (across the FilOil gas station). 2- It's at the end of a dirt road, and the road can be difficult to walk especially when it rains 3- The property has some strange rules, but they're obviously in place because some guests did something crazy and made a need for the rules. I personally had no problem with the rules, because I have common courtesy, but I can see some people getting offended by them. 4- Only handsoap and shampoo (had to ask) for toiletries. The only resort out of 5 I stayed in during my trip with incomplete amenities. The front desk person told me that they're having an issue with the vendor regarding it, so it was unavailable.

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.

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

Four of us siblings stayed at the grand villa while my brother and his wife stayed at the dream villa, just across the man made lagoon from us. These lagoons surround all the villas. Each villa had high standard furnishings, and a terrace that leads to a lagoon. Our Grand Villa had two bedrooms, one with a king bed downstairs and two twin beds upstairs, each with a huge well-appointed bathrooms, and a large family room and a kitchenette complete with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, plates and utensils. Just as soon as we were settled in, after check-in, fresh juice in a real coconut along with a welcome platter of snacks was delivered to our respective villas. Snack plates were delivered to us every day. The entire resort is surrounded with lush vegetation, lots of flowers and remarkable landscaping. We had lunch at one of their five restaurants, this one with a cozy ambiance just a short walk from our villas with views of larger pools and the ocean. Lunch consisted of traditional Filipino dishes which were not only well presented but were delicious as expected of a top rated resort as well. The room service dinner we had was no different. We then explored the scenic white sand beach with a great view of the ocean. I actually spent some alone time in one of the many lounge chairs under the trees. Just like BE resort in Mactan, Cebu, the best feature of this resort are the tireless, friendliest, professional, helpful and most efficient people that worked there, specially the resort manager, Pearl Yang and staff member Uriel and others who we were lucky enough to be attended too, or who gave us a friendly hi. Thank you for pampering us!. We never had to wait long for anything we requested. I had high expectations when we planned this trip, and BE Grand resort not only surpassed all of them, we got more: we were treated like royalty!

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 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!

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!
