Panglao Municipality Spa Hotels

An impeccable hotel in a quiet yet central location. It's a ten-minute walk to a lively restaurant street, and you can book island excursions right from the beach. The rooms have a lovely tropical vibe, and the breakfast is fantastic. Haidee and Marlon at the front desk were very welcoming and helpful.

This was by far the most comfortable hotel I stayed at during the May Day holiday. The common areas on the first floor are really well-decorated, and the hotel offers a wide range of activities and things to do. The food was just okay; breakfast was mediocre, and lunch, dinner, and drinks were all pretty average. But then again, I didn't have high hopes for Filipino food in general. The hotel's service and cleanliness were top-notch, and the beach was beautiful with options like sailing and kayaking. The biggest surprise was the scuba diving experience – the two masters were genuinely lovely, and we had an amazing time over four to five hours for 4000 pesos, seeing so much marine life. I'll definitely be back to stay here next time!

Definitely one of the better hotel/resorts that I've encountered during my travels in the Philippines. The hotel itself is located in a beautifully secluded lot that's surrounded by vegetation & conveniently placed a stones throw away from the main commercial centre which hosts a supermarket & even a DIY shop. The rooms are very comfortable, clean & all come with a balcony & modern AC as standard. But the best part is the large pool which lights up at night & is by the restaurant which serves good coffee, pizza & an excellent Thai curry. If you have transport then i would highly recommend staying here.

This hotel is located on Doljo Beach, and it's wonderfully quiet. The water is crystal clear and calm, perfect for a relaxing vacation 🏖️. In the mornings, during low tide, you can go beachcombing and find lots of starfish, sea urchins, blue crabs, hermit crabs, and small fish. From midday onwards, it's an excellent spot for snorkeling, with plenty of clownfish to see. The hotel itself is great, both in terms of facilities and service. The decor is new and features a stylish Nordic design. The staff are all incredibly nice, very responsive to any requests, and they offer a delicious welcome drink. While the breakfast isn't extensive, it covers all the basic essentials. Getting to Alona Beach by 'tutu' (tricycle) costs 200P and takes about 15 minutes. I absolutely love this hotel.

Overall a normal hotel, the most adequate in price of all on the first line, breakfasts are small, but always different. BUT there is a big minus, this is the beach, Alona Beach is a beach for divers, you will not get a beach holiday here, the whole beach is in boats and yachts, even if you go to the beach of the Henana hotel, there is also not super beautiful water and sand. We did not know that this is a divers' beach. Otherwise we would have stayed in Cebu to continue our holiday.

We had a pleasant stay at Cliffside Resort, a place that truly stands out for its stunning view and its very peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The room was clean, although a few small details could be improved, such as the drawers, which were not properly cleaned. Most of the staff were very welcoming and smiling, which created a warm and friendly environment. A few team members were a bit less friendly, so the experience felt slightly inconsistent, but overall the staff were lovely. The food was very good, and so were the cocktails, which made our meals enjoyable. However, the timing of the service really needs improvement. It became almost funny: one of us would get their meal, eat it calmly… and the other would be served 30 minutes later — sometimes almost an hour later. It’s a strange and quite awkward situation, because you don’t really get to eat together. Back in France, this would never happen, so it was really surprising. Despite this issue, we overall had a positive stay, with an exceptional setting and lots of potential for an even better experience.

The location is a pleasant 10-minute walk (straight down the road) to Dumaluan Beach. The grounds are green and well-maintained. Beach towels and hygiene kits (soap, brush, toothpaste) are provided. The room has a safe, refrigerator, kettle, and TV. The Wi-Fi works well. There's a clothes rack with plenty of hangers. On the room's porch, there's a table and a couple of chairs. The hotel team is amazing, the best out of the five hotels we stayed at in the Philippines: all issues were resolved instantly. They even escorted us to our pre-booked airport transfer at 5 AM, which we arranged through reception. They also organized a Bohol tour for us in a private car with a driver for 3000 pesos (there are many tour and transfer options available, all information is displayed in the reception area). There's a cafe on site. Service is fast, and everything is delicious. Massage services are also available. As for the downsides: the room provided didn't match the photos in the booking. What was most disappointing was the air conditioning (the photo showed a split AC, but in reality, it was a wall-mounted unit that roared so loudly for the first two nights that even earplugs didn't help. They cleaned it later, and it got quieter, but it still blows very loudly – on the upside, you can't hear the neighbors or the roosters outside!). The beds are uncomfortable (a hard plywood base with a rather thin mattress covered in faux leather and a sheet. The feeling is exactly as you'd imagine). There were also issues with the toilet flush. There are a lot of mosquitoes, because of them, we only used the cafe once, it's difficult to be outside. In summary: for the price offered, it's a great option. The question is whether to overlook the negatives or pay more for comfort.

The furniture and bedding were comfortable and the accommodation was very tasteful. It was in a location where I didn't have to worry about food, and I was able to enjoy the day and night to the fullest even without any activities. Anyway, the location is good, and if you walk down a little path you will find Alona Pawikan. A rich place where you can wake up to the sound of roosters in the morning. It's a comfortable place with no noise from motorbikes or horns. I would like to use it again if I come to Panglao Island. When I asked about it at checkout, I was told that it was made by a Swede.

We needed a seamless place to stay for a single night, and this hotel exceeded all expectations. Check-in was incredibly fast, and the staff was welcoming from the moment I walked through the door.The Room: Immensely clean, quiet, and equipped with a very comfortable bed for a great night's sleep.The Location: Superb and highly accessible, which maximized my limited time in the area.The Service: Efficient and professional, making checkout just as smooth as arrival.The Value: Excellent quality and comfort, even for a brief visit.Though it was just a quick one-night stop, the experience was memorable. I would absolutely stay here again!

The hotel is located in an isolated place, so it is very convenient to rent a bike or a tricycle to get to the town or to the nearest restaurant. There is a small private beach, but there are a lot of plants and a lot of boats. I loved the service - you can call the massage or manicure master, grab a drink at the beach bar, lie down near the beach and enjoy the service. They also provided me a bike rent with delivery. The room is in zebra style - very nice and comfy. The only thing I disliked - the room is very small, it is basically tiny, though it had a terrace which a view of the hotel stairs which I found useless.
