Hotel 3 Bintang di Pulau Bohol

We really enjoyed our stay at Loboc river resort. The place is full of character and charm. The staff are so lovely, special mention and thanks to Christy and Doy who looked after us so well. We rented the wooden banca one day and canoed up the river towards Loboc - a lot of fun. We also went on a firefly watching tour which was magical. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because the Wi-Fi could have been better but this is a minor complaint and understandable given it’s rural location.

I regularly stay in the Hotel , ten times or more in fact , the rooms are clean , and the front desk staff are effective however the staff turnover in this property is incredibly high for some reason and it’s always staffed with new people whenever we visit , NIkko is the star employee of this property . The hotel is located in a quiet area but the security should be more effective keeping the beach hawkers away from the property bothering guests . The big downfall of this property is the consistent terrible quality of food , they ask for a preorder for breakfast the night before cook it and then reheat it when you arrive , how can you reheat a fried egg , the cooks don’t even know how to cook potatoes, my wife eats fried rice for breakfast it tasteless , Putting unsupervised school age kids in the kitchen is not working out for this property when it comes to food quality so I normally skip breakfast and eat it elsewhere (honestly Mac Donald’s is better ) I hope someone from management reads this and replies to my helpful feedback as I do generally want to see improvements in my favorite hotel in Bohol

Very nice hotel with friendly service minded staff made this a great stay. The accept laundy at laundy prices (not hotel prices 5X higher). And when my white shirts were destryed because they washed it with red towels and came out pink they even managed to get it white again :-) Great breakfast at the pool and great pool!. Room was modern and spacy, good shower. Good aircon. Good beds. No elevator though. Notice: On the map it looks close to beach but you need to walk around the hotel and cross the best western hotel to get to the beach. Not very far but notice it.

DO NOT BOOK ! Hotel made us sign a disclaimer that we would pay 2500pesos for stained sheets and given us dirty sheets to start with. The room is rundown and the hotel kept in bad condition. You also can not use towels to clean your feet or penalty wi be applied. Beach is 20min walk and not 5. Pictures are nothing as in reality. I attached them here for you to see

We had a pleasant stay at the Metro Centre. Rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was fine, although I’m not a big fan of Filipino food. Hopefully the swimming pool will re open before too long.

We considered several hotels in Bohol and finally opted for Vanilla Sky Dive Resort, and our 4D3N stay exceeded our expectations and was faultless!! We would highly recommend Vanilla Sky for several reasons and would absolutely stay here again with no hesitation if we have the opportunity to return to Bohol in the future: - Firstly and foremost, Alessandro (Owner) and his team including Gretchen and Maria were very knowledgeable and extremely accommodating, with no request or question an inconvenience or too much to ask - Our group stayed in a combination of all room types (double, double suite and family loft) and all were very clean and spacious - The hotel facilities were great and we certainly made good use during our stay, most notably the swimming pool and football table - The food in the restaurant was very good, especially the homemade pasta and pizza - the homemade buffalo mozzarella and quality ingredients used was noticeable and the Filipino dishes was equally as good - Gretchen and Maria arranged the Countryside Tour and Island Hopping Tours for us which were throughly enjoyable, and also coordinated Scooters at short notice - The location of Vanilla Sky is perfect for visiting Alona Beach and the many local shops and restaurants If you are considering staying at Vanilla Sky, then consider no more and just go ahead and make the reservation - you will not be disappointed!!

Ananyana is a gem. If you like a quiet and serene atmosphere, then this is an excellent place to stay in Panglao. They might not have a 5-star rating in amenities, but I find our room and bathroom clean. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. If you like to party and shop, Bellevue and Moadto ***** Mall is only a 15-20 min. stroll away along the beach. I personally like going to Bellevue and Moadto Mall for drinks or dinner and then go back to my quiet and serene place away from the hustle and bustle of a touristy area.

The reception staff were very helpful and pleasant. They arranged a tricycle driver to take us on the countryside tour. We also appreciated the breakfast staff preparing a takeaway version, bacon and scrambled egg sandwiches, when we had a very early morning start for the island hopping tour. One slight issue we found on entering our room for the first time was there were no towels and a unclean sink but this was not a major and quickly addressed when we pointed it out. The landscape and gardens were immaculate and serene. It was interesting to see a collection of bonsai trees there, which I assume are a passion of the owner and there was also a display of shells in the waiting area to look at. There is a nice and deep pool just out front of the accomodation building. This is aside from the main pool area, which appeared very nice but we didn’t get around to using. There is a bit of a walk to get to the main beach area with no short cut through that I’m aware of. The positive side is that it feels detached from the throng. The driveway which is shared with other nearby hotels is in quite a bad state, I’m not sure why no-one is fixing that up, perhaps everyone considers it to be someone else’s responsibility. All in all it’s a beautiful and serene resort with great staff for a very reasonable price and I would absolutely recommend it to someone looking for accommodation near Alona Beach.

Their pool looks so lovely. The rooms have features of Balinese style (?). Our room has an outdoor-ish bathroom so there can be mosquitos at night and you can hear vehicles passing by but you wont hear anything in the room once bathroom door is closed. TV has Netflix and Youtube. Breakfast is not included in the booking but they offer breakfast and there is also a pool bar. Rooms/villas are few which means less crowded pool and less noise. Location is great, it is a few mins walk to restaurants/shops/banks along the road.

The resort was quite quiet which is what we wanted, but felt like off season. There was some renovation and the restaurant closed a little earlier than we would have liked. (there was no information about renovation when we booked the resort) Having said that, the resort was very clean and well looked after.
