Sorry Alona you don't come even close to Boracay Whitebeach or their sand boardwalk. Here at Alona the sand is full of broken sea shells especially at the shadow water line. They need to have a sand sweeper here to regularly remove debris from the sand like they do in Botacay. I was staying at Henann Alona resort and they maintained the section of the beach as private with beach chairs you can use, which I didn't see any on the other side of the beach. I would say go to the Ocenana Resort , they take care of the beach there much better at that place and offer beach chairs, drinks and food to eat for a day fee.

The restaurant food and quality was very good with reasonable prices. The room was nice, but the bathroom did have a smell that we couldn't get rid of, I think the whole thing needed to be bleached. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The resort pool was very pretty and they offer a few activities on the resort. I did not get to do monkey feeding since we were very busy with outings and would have rather done that than going to see the tarsiers - total tourist trap. There's also kayaking, paddle boarding, firefly tour. The resort was less than a mile to the Loboc River Cruise, the town plaza, church, and the Man-Made Forest. The only problem was that there was no signal in the area. When the Wi-Fi worked, it was great, but on our last day and a half the Wi-Fi went out and it was difficult to get connected.

Highly recommended! It was a great spot to make plans to travel to Bohol, Philippines catch the…read moredirect flight from LAX to Incheon International Airport to Bohol-Panglao and catch a driver to a 15 miles to destination.

It's not even the distance but the road in front of the hotel has a ditch at the end of the end of the intersection. It is surprising to me as the street has several hotels. You have to walk over a slippery surface and through an unpleasant narrow street. Also, there are not much eating options nearby unless you go towards the main road. The hotel restaurant is closed, but serves breakfast, which was not very appetizing one. Staff is pleasant, but you have to request housekeeping if you want room cleaned. The pool courtyard looks nice, but they have a lot of storage areas which should be hidden. Also, the pool water is overly chlorinated.

Our rooms (we booked two) are beautiful, comfortable, and pretty clean! The amenities are great, especially the free ones! And although we didn't make use of all of the free resort activities, I'm sure it would've been fun! 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

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.

Our room was easily one of the best on the property, offering a breathtaking, sweeping view of the beach, ocean, pool, and parts of the courtyard garden--simply unforgettable. 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.

One of the best sand Beaches in Panglao, much better and better maintained than Alona Beach…read more The beach is referred to as Oceania, or South Palm, or one of the other resorts located along the beach. But the name is actually called the Beach of Bohol, but due to a lack of signage, it has taken on the names of the resorts located in that section of the beach to the point that if you wanted to go to this beach, your toktok will know it by the resort name than the real beach name. The beach is free, but if you want to sit at a resort table or beach chair, they expect you to order food or refreshments for the privilege.

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.

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.
