Hotels Near Baliho Cave in Panglao

Seven of us, all hailing from Bangladesh, had a three-day stay at Solea Resort and Hotel in Bohol, commencing on September 21st. Our visit was official in nature, as we were accompanied by the esteemed Governor of Bohol Mr. Erico Aris Aumentado. During this visit, I had the privilege of receiving a gift from the governor intended for my German boss, which I later brought back to Solea Resort. However, on the morning of the 23rd, as I was preparing to check out of the hotel and packing my belongings, I made a distressing discovery. Two bottles of wine had mysteriously vanished from my room. Swiftly, I reported the incident to the front desk and the duty manager. They promptly conducted a thorough investigation, which included reviewing the CCTV footage, examining my room, and inspecting my luggage. Their scrutiny revealed that, apart from carrying an umbrella once, I had never taken anything from the room. Throughout my stay, my room was diligently cleaned every day by the hotel's cleaning staff, whom we were familiar with. This made the disappearance of the wine bottles all the more baffling. After three days of inquiries and discussions, I decided to approach the duty manager once more today. To my astonishment, he mentioned that they had seen me carrying bottles on the 22nd at the lodge, as per a WhatsApp chat he provided as evidence. However, when I challenged this assertion, he swiftly retracted his statement, admitting it was a mistake. In light of this unsettling experience, I feel compelled to caution fellow travellers about the security of their belongings while staying at this hotel.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

The staffs were friendly and helpful. There are things missing like the TV, Bidet in the bathroom. The bathroom overflows with water and gets a lil bit messy. The breakfast is great and the pool. The room is big. Also the only cons there is no phone when you need something you need to go down every time and inform the front desk. They offered free service to bring us to airport since we stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. The experience is great.

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!

It was our third time in Bohol and stayed at South Palms before which we had a very good experience. This year, we decided to stay at Modala Resort to celebrate our wedding anniversart as I have heard that it is one of the newest hotel in Panglao. And yes! This is now my most favorite hotel around the country! We were allowed to do an early check-in (we waited for almost 2 hrs for this as they have to prepare the room but totally fine with us as we enjoyed strolling around the resort). Everybody was welcoming and we loved how approachable they were. Totally adored our room (Tawhay Garden room) and just perfect for the 4 of us (2 queen bed). It was very neat when we arrived, bedsheets and pillows were on point equipped with toiletries, bathrobes and coffee fix (with electric kettle). I also appreciate the ”Happy Anniversary” bed design + small cake (all complimentary) that they have prepped for us. Cold Cucumber drinks were also available during check in which were very refreshing. They also have a free photoshoot +1 hard copy during your stay (additional payment if ever you decide to avail the whole photoshoot package). The hotel is situated beside a mall called Moadto *****, perfect if you want to try other restos and there was also 711 for your quick needs. Front beach was super nice with fine sand and my son really enjoyed swimming to both swimming pool and beach. It was very clean and you can already see a lot of fish swimming around. Water in the pool was lukewarm, just perfect if you get cold swimming at the beach. They also have a kiddie pool and jacuzzi area. Breakfast buffet spread was sumptous and filling. Everyone was very pleasant to talk to and attentive whenever we needed something. Special mention to Jasper who had been my 18 month old son's playmate all throughout our 4D3N stay at Modala. He was very charming and my baby boy loved him so much. Thank you once again, Modala! We are very satisfied with the hotel's topnotch customer service and superb facilities. Food was really great and we enjoyed every ala carte orders that we made. We will definitely be back.
