Hotels near Punta Cruz Watch Tower, Bohol Island

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.

Very beautiful and tranquil location. Room was pretty basic, with one mattress and a wall fan. Could be quite hot during the day but fan does the job pretty well at night. You have to bring your own toiletries ‘cause they don’t provide any but bath towels. Service was really nice, the owner was very friendly and accommodating. Even gave us discounts on some of the river activities. You could also rent a motorcycle which is a must to tour Bohol. Wifi only works at the lobby/dining area, which is fine, cause mobile data works pretty well. Overall, very good stay, very beautiful river which is right in front of your accommodation.

I have traveled all over the world and the Manager and other workers at Cesar's Place make this hotel my home away from home while in Bohol. They consistently go above and beyond what you would expect for service for such a reasonable price! They are not mind readers so occasionally if I have a special request I do have to ask but they are always very accommodating and super friendly. If you are traveling to Bohol contact them directly. They also have longer stays with and without breakfast. I have seen on some other booking sites they say some rooms are NO CHILDREN under 13 - but definitely contact the hotel directly as they said this was not really their policy.

 First if all, the place is located right on the main street leading to Alona beach, and it's very noisy day and night (for those who might care). Second, no Wi-Fi in the room, and barely working one on the porch, so you have to sit on a hard wooden bench in the pool area if you want to use internet. Third, when we arrived and checked in into our room with ”garden view” we found out that our view is the wall of the room in front, shared ”porch”, which is more like a narrow alley filled with hanging laundry. When we asked the staff politely about the ”garden view” mismatch, the two receptionists instead of offering a solution directly started to blame it on us, saying that we (I quote) ”didn't request a garden view”. In my understanding, if it's written in the room description, it's included, and there was no note about requesting it anywhere. Clearly, they just wanted to get rid of me without fixing anything. All I wanted is to be moved to another room. They didn't propose that, so I asked if they had another room with a proper porch available, they rudely said no, that's all we have and turned away. After I asked again if there is anything available tomorrow or the day after, or even a different type of room, finally with very annoyed attitude admitted that there is one tomorrow that we could move to. Clearly, my trust is already shaken, so I asked them to see the room first. They made a whole scene about this, but finally showed me the room next to ours, which was better. The restaurant has similar service. We ordered 3 dishes, it took 40 minutes for them to bring one of them, and it was wrong. We sent it back, waited another 15 minutes and finally got all our food, which was very mediocre. Really not with the price and the waiting. After all this we really didn't want to stay in this place, so we booked another hotel, and went to tell them that we will be checking out. Got shouted at again saying that our booking is not refundable. Forget it. Even the swimming pool, the only nice thing about this hotel, couldn't be enjoyed because of the construction next door. The workers would stare from the roof and one even got down and was peeping over the fence...

Purely. The bed is comfortable. Nice blanket. We asked for a kettle in our room and they brought it to us along with mugs and water. Friendly girls. There is a bakery on the ground floor. One bad thing - it was very noisy on the last night, and some cat was screaming every night and it was impossible to sleep.

We stayed here during our family summer vacation and the room that we got was a steal for its price. The room was clean and it could accommodate 5 people. We had a slight problem with the restroom since the drainage was clogged but they were able to fix it when we reported it. I just don’t know why they designed the comfort room in such a way where you won’t be able to face the mirror when you brush your teeth because the toilet is in the way. So, if you would brush your teeth, you would have to do it from the side. Probably one of the reasons why this room was discounted. In any case, the location of the hotel was beach front and the crew was very dependable and attentive to our needs. So, if you want an affordable beach front accommodation and just a clean and homey place to stay, you may want to consider booking here. Our stay was just ok I guess.

Came to stay for three nights, first day we put in three complaints about our bedding and towels being unclean. Was told they would change it however when we went back to our room it was the same bedding they just made up the bed instead. Third time telling them they came into the room and apologised said they would change it. After changing the bedding the pillow was still dirty, took it to reception and they changed it again. Our shower was absolutely terrible, complained about that twice which they fixed. Had two cockroaches in our bathroom 🤮 Food is ok however having about 5 restaurant staff hanging around just staring wasn’t appealing. Ordered room service and wasn’t given cutlery, the bowl of rice I had was also dirty. Swimming pool on the lower level had no atmosphere, no music, no pillows on the loungers. Overall wouldn’t recommend, photos were deceiving, staff were friendly and tried to help resolve our issues.

The environment is very good, the yard, swimming pool, roof, etc., the location is superior, the street is out, and the beach is opposite. The biggest problem is that the air conditioner window machine is like a diesel engine, it is super noisy, and the noise is super loud. I do n’t understand why not change the air conditioner. There are many mosquitoes anyway, just apply medicine.

We enjoy the place.. The staff are friendly

The room is clean and tidy, and the service is very good. It's just a few minutes' walk to Dumalan Beach. The beach is very clean. There are also Korean restaurants and Italian restaurants nearby... There is a golf course in the hotel grounds where you can practice for free~ There are also many entertainment projects, and there is a lot of space for activities. Open~ I am very satisfied~
