Hotels near Bohol–Panglao International Airport, Panglao

The reception was friendly even though we arrived at dawn, not bad for staying There was a cutie in the room. I didn't care much because it wasn't a common and harmful animal in the Philippines. It's very close to the airport, so it's not very difficult to get back and forth

Reservations team was so responsive and accommodating. Front desk staffs were more transactional. They can't seem to like interacting with guests since by the time we arrived until we checked out. F and B staffs were more courteous like saying Hi and hello. Housekeeping was helpful. Aircon works well. Room is clean. I love the hot and cold shower as well. We love the easy access to the pool. We had the room on the ground floor which is good for us. Minor issues : - they don't provide extra bed for extra person. Room towel as well. Very limited. However, we managed to ask pool towels from Hk team since we are mostly swimming and we really need extra towels. - front desk is just until 10pm so if you need anything, you have to check it before reception closes. But actually they have guard at night who was so helpful as well. I requested a bath mat from front desk and nothing came until i met a guy from Hk and he sent one. - though the front desk was not so helpful. Other team was able to fulfill their lapses. So its okay. We are not demanding people. its just that we lacked those in our room which are basic. Housekeeping must to check on this before check in time so we can reduce our time and effort. But overall, we had a great stay. We felt at home and we enjoyed the big pool. My son had a great time at the pool. The resort is like 5 minutes drive away from the beach. But theres tricycle outside. Kuya driver was so nice to us. Didnt demand for a high price unlike other tricycle drivers. If you need good tricycle driver. His plate number is #357.

I stayed there 5 days. They only serve breakfast, but with real brewed coffee and real Milk (no cream powder). The staff and the service are excellent. You ask for something and they almost run. They are always very happy to serve you and accomodate you in any request you have. They deserve 5 stars, but I gave 4 for the following reason : One day, as I was sitting quietly and reasing, 4 young guys around 18 years old came in and sit not too far from me. They were talking lound and using the wifi. I asked them if they had a room here and they said no. So I asked them to leave, but I had to ask them 3 times before they finally left. The manager was not there. There was only the maintenance man and 1 lady busy cleaning the rooms. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED. I hope future guest wont have to live that. Besides this non necessary event during my 5 days stay, I do recommend this hotel because everything else was more than perfect.

As someone who is conscious of his travel spending, it has dawned in me that we really do not need much money for us to become a more eco-friendly traveler. And one action I frequently do is by staying at a hostel. I’ll save for another post the reasons why I love staying at hostels. Moon Fools Hostel caught my attention when I was looking for a place to stay at prior to my Bohol trip. It wasn’t there yet when I last visited Panglao in 2015. Without much information about this hostel, I relied on my instinct that it’s probably one of those few accommodations I’d love. And boy I was right… The moment I entered the hostel, I already knew that it was my kind of hostel – an eco-friendly one. I was happy to have had a great conversation with one of the owners, Mari. That is when I have learned that she and her husband are very passionate about the environment. So it isn’t surprising that the materials used in the construction of their hostel are mostly recycled. It is very admirable as to how they have made use of recycled materials from their curtains (coffee sack) to pillowcases, bedsheet, plastic cups turned into plant pots, lamps from old jars, and even recycled wood materials turned into chairs and tables. Moon Fools Hostel shows that the very essence of recycling is re-using. My stay at Moon Fools also comes with a simple breakfast that you get to prepare on your own. It usually consists of oats, raisins, mallows, some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg plus your choice of drinks (coffee, tea, or chocolate). Plus bananas too! I also like the fact that they have these little ecotourist reminders all over their place – from the bathroom to the dining area. The local staff of Moon Fools is the usual endearing and respectful Boholano people. During my 2-night stay, I have noticed that I was the only Filipino. What else to expect with Moon Fools Hostel: All rooms have air conditioning. Free WiFi is available from the lounge area to the rooms. The hostel offers airport shuttle services at an extra charge. The hostel has a shared communal bathroom. A 24-hour convenience store, a cafe and a restaurant are found on the 1st floor of the hostel. There are motorcycles and bicycles for rent. Water sports facilities are also available.

The rice dishes are indeed very affordable, thumbs up. Good points: The transportation is really convenient. There are all kinds of famous restaurants right away. You don’t need to take a taxi when you go out. You only have at least 500p left in the taxi fare every day. The bed is great and comfortable. Most hotels in the Philippines are really not that good. The air conditioning is sufficient and super quiet. Wi-Fi is independent in each room, so friends who have network requirements must be OK. The disadvantage is: the breakfast is relatively simple, only sandwiches, but it is delicious and there is free juice. When I first moved in, there was not enough hot water. But after telling the waiter, the waiter took a needle and poked it a few times, and it was cured immediately. There was enough hot water later. It is a very cost-effective hotel and highly recommended.

We stayed as a family of three—two adults and a toddler—for five days at Abraham Bohol. The hotel is located in Dao, Panglao Island. It’s situated a couple of minutes away by motorized vehicle (about fifteen minutes by foot) from Alona Beach. Abraham Bohol is actually a combination of a hostel and a resort hotel, we stayed at the latter, lodging at their Family Room with Direct Pool access, which as the title say, opens directly to the pool area. The room is extremely spacious and can bed up to five guests. I love how large the smart TV is (even if it’s quite hard to operate), the comfy beds, the poolside balcony, and the drinking water station right outside our door. The toilet and bath is also very spacious and is equipped with a bidet, a telephone and rainshower-type showerheads. The main dining hall, which also acts as a lounge and lobby, sits right between the hostel area and the hotel resort area. It has a pool table, board games, a lounge area, and a working ATM machine. This is also where we have the complimentary breakfast buffet. Their buffet isn’t as grand as those at upscale resorts, offering fruits, breads, rice, egg, and a choice viand for the day. It’s actually not that bad if you manage your expectations. Coffee and juice are free throughout the day, so is the use of the full kitchen—yes, you can actually cook here. For those in Bohol for only a couple of days, spending their days outside their room on tours, I highly recommend staying at their dorm rooms—which are super affordable. If you want to have a more luxurious stay, consider the resort hotel.

We had a very pleasant stay at Henann Alona Beach. The hotel is big, and it was very busy during checkin, however they have so many pools that you don’t notice the amount of people. We had a great time in the poolbar at happy hour, and spent all our time at the resort! Restaurants could use a bit more healthy options and breakfast some more vegetarian (there wasn’t even a plain yoghurt or granola bar, and more unhealthy choices) options. If you go out of the resort you directly walk into a street full of bars and restaurants! Gym was very well equipped and rooms where good. Please improve the curtains, since they were not blacking out the room.

This is potentially a great place but when I was there there was only 1/3rd water in the pool (guess for repairs or something, people were vague about it) Of course this can happen, but both hotel and Trip.com should mention this on the website. So, you can book this hotel, but check about the pool. Also just try to rent a place next to the beach at Dumaluan for example. The staff is friendly. But I have the feeling that the manager is a bit lazy about the place. The toaster broke and next day it still was not replaced. First world problems, I know, but still.. Wifi is good, but not 100% reliable for important online meetings. For that you can go to Loom coworking on the main island.

Truly the best - the room reminds me of some luxury hotels, very nice and comfortable. It is the first hotel on Philippines with a good shower pressure. The pool is just a step away, so sometimes it can be a little loud - there are children and divers training. The staff is very helpful, provided me with a bike rent and showed me a hospital. The only thing - it was out of the electricity almost the whole day, and the ants ate everything I left unpacked.
