Hotels Near Virgin Island in Panglao

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.

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 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.

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.

Excellent location. Amazing sunsets. The service is excellent. We enjoyed the free cocktails on Wednesdays and Fridays. And we enjoyed the free popsicles and juice when you lounge at the pool. The staff will go out of your way to take care of you. Very large rooms

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.

We recently stayed at the Mithi for one week on November and it was a beautiful hotel to stay at, the pool and views are beautiful, we did snorkelling just off the beach the hotel has a boat and they will take you out to the reef which is really good, the rooms are cleaned great, all of the staff were so friendly and helpful they are all great, the food is very nice but you do need to add a few more vegetarian options to the menu, there is not much around so you do need to rent a motor bike or pay for a tuk tuk to see the island, I would definitely recommend staying here, Thankyou for a great holiday!
