Hotels Near Balicasag Island in Panglao

Having our wedding at Bellevue Resort was definitely the best choice! Our wedding was delayed by Covid for 3 years and there were a few staff changes and Sheila Baldo has picked up where the last events manager left off without a hitch. She was always available, polite and open to ideas. We looked around at other venue options and the beach front privacy and luxe experience Bellevue offers are incomparable. What we love most about the event was the food which was above and beyond the expectation for a buffet - it certainly tasted like fine dining, the attention to details and the execution of everything we have agreed on. My family and I have had such a great time spending our wedding and holiday/reunion in Bellevue. The daily breakfast buffet options were always exciting and cater to locals and foreigners alike. The koi pond is always a hit - you can do fish feeding, and I never tire walking past them. During our 5 day stay, they always have a quiet event at their beach front which says a lot about them being a very good choice as an events space for your important occasions. Some nights they had a live band to serenade diners at the restaurant. The staff - they are unbelievable! They were quick, accommodating, friendly and always at your service. What needs improvement on, however, was their spa and their massage therapists. We spoke to Drew, the manager, and plans to remedy this were actually on the way! I guess next time, we will have to try this out!

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.

Villa level enjoyment 😋, you can play in the water when you open the door... It's very relaxing, especially you can have free popsicles, you can eat from the freezer at the door... Both adults and children love it.

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.

The hotel was newly built, so the room condition was great, and the infinity pool and swimming pool felt smaller than Alona. The breakfast didn't have many options, but it was okay, and the room cleaning was very slow. It was nice that I could walk to the city center and get around in about 10 minutes.

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.

Positive side: The hotel is close to the Alona beach via the second hotel of the same brand. You can access to sunbed of the second hotel but not of the beach pool. Room was clean. Breakfast was good. Improvement side: The noise isolation is low but remains acceptable. Buffet quality could be improved despite of a large range of food. For the same price, we think that we can discover others restaurants in the area. Next time. Final, we recommend

We stayed here for the seventh time while visiting relatives nearby. We understand the resort is in new ownership and regrettably standards have dropped. Our room was very clean, but, unlike previous visits, lacked an easy chair in the room and only had a blanket with no top sheet on the bed, which we found very unsatisfactory. The pool which has previously been sparkling clean on each visit, was cloudy throughout our stay and with the surrounds was getting quite rundown. The menu now offers a significantly reduced range of unexciting food although the quality was good. The staff, as usual, were exceptional - very friendly, well presented and efficient. Despite these drawbacks, the resort offers good value and the location a short walk to Alona Beach is very convenient.

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.
