Hotels near Island Girl, Panglao

The place is fantastic, located right beside Alona Beach with a small road leading directly to the beach. The hotel's food is very nice, and the two swimming pools are great for families. The studio room can accommodate a family of four, and there are many complimentary activities such as kayaking, paddling, and archery. Highly recommended for families. However, there is no lift to the third level, which is not friendly for the elderly.

We stayed at Henann Tawala Hotel for a week upon arriving in Bohol, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel is spotlessly clean, living up to its 4-star rating. Upon arrival, the staff were very attentive—our bags were handled, and we were offered breakfast while our early check-in was expedited. One thing to be aware of is the 3,000 pesos per night damage deposit. If paid by credit card, any charges, such as room service or drinks at the swim-up bar, are deducted from it, with the balance refunded after checkout. The breakfast area is beautifully presented, with friendly staff who greet you warmly. After giving your room number and surname, you’re escorted to a table. However, we noticed some inconsistency in service—on some days we were offered coffee or tea, while on others we weren’t. There were also times when water wasn’t provided, so we ended up with double servings after fetching it ourselves. Consistency in service would enhance the experience, but the self-service station for coffee, water, and juices was convenient. Breakfast options were excellent, with plenty of variety to suit all preferences. Everything was well-prepared and delicious. One small issue was being asked to leave a yogurt behind when I tried to take it out of the breakfast area. I understand the rule to prevent excessive takeaway, but I felt a little flexibility could be applied for small items. The rooms at Henann Tawala are impressive—spacious with great bathrooms and lovely balconies. Among the best we’ve stayed in, they’re comparable to high-end hotels like Radisson Blu in Cebu or Seda Ayala Central Block. The reception staff were incredibly helpful. They arranged a reasonably priced van for our trip to Tagbilaran, and the driver was punctual, providing a comfortable ride. He even dropped us off at the right spot for catching a van to Anda at the Dao Bus Terminal. One nice perk of staying here is the short walk to Henann's beachfront property, where you can use the sun loungers shaded by palm trees and enjoy drinks served by the staff. However, you can’t use the pool there, and you need to pick up towels from Henann Tawala before heading to the beach. The beach is beautiful, but there are quite a few hawkers selling tours, which can be a bit of a nuisance. We found better deals on Facebook. The sea is warm, though there’s a fair amount of seaweed. I’d recommend snorkeling to watch your step, as there are starfish and possibly sea urchins. We only swam once. If you buy mangosteen from beach vendors (150-200 pesos), check for ants, as one of our bags was full of them! Just outside the hotel’s main gates, there’s an ATM and a laundry shop that charges around 400 pesos for 5 kg, returning clothes washed, dried, and folded by 5 pm. It’s much cheaper than the hotel’s laundry service. We also tried the Kajun Restaurant nearby, which offers excellent chicken sandwiches, fries, and milkshakes in an American diner style. On the beachfront, our favorite restaurant was the Oasis Resort’s upstairs bar and restaurant, which has a cooling breeze and a great view of the beach. Every dish we tried was fantastic, and we highly recommend it. While our stay at Henann Tawala was wonderful, Panglao itself felt quite touristy. There were many Korean tourists, and a lot of locals trying to sell tours and services, which sometimes felt overwhelming. Prices were higher than we expected, especially for things like tricycles, which cost 150 pesos per person compared to the 12 pesos we paid in the provinces. Restaurant prices were also inflated, and even basic supplies came at a premium. If you prefer a quieter, more authentic experience, I’d recommend visiting somewhere like Anda. It has a more laid-back, provincial vibe, with friendlier locals and a slower pace of life, making it a peaceful alternative to the busy, touristy atmosphere of Panglao.

The resort is very good overall. However there's a few niggles. Check in took way too long. 2 people serving? When you have a long queue in the heat of the lobby this isn't a great first impression. The lobby on arrival was so busy. When I've checked into other hotels I've usually been impressed with the smoothness of check in. This wasn't a pleasant experience or environment especially if you're traveling with children. We couldn't get a massage. We wanted to confirm the time the next day and they wouldn't give us this option.? The lift? One lift in the main area? For a resort this big and expensive they should have more lifts The stairs at the pool are stony. This will really hurt your feet when you're not expecting it The breakfast is good for Filipinos however for Westerners like myself there should be more choice. Not just bread and egg. The beach is small. You get hassled by people trying to sell you stuff. Protect your belongings. Doesn't feel safe, look out for algae in the water. Not pleasant to swim through. The resort restaurants are very expensive. The lobby isn't air conditioned? Why not make it a pleasure to be in the lobby and serve coffee to guests? Not everyone wants ice tea. We were told to pay 6000php on arrival which luckily we had but we didn't know about this deposit for incidentals ahead of time. The positives are. They gave us umbrellas when we walked outside for the shade. The shower in our room was excellent. The warm water in the pool. And swimming till late is lovely. The staff are very good and attentive and professional. They served us with care and attention and nothing was too much trouble. I got looked after by the nurse at 10pm.

My stay at Diving Addiction Resort was truly delightful. The hotel service is outstanding, and the staff deserves special praise for their friendliness and professionalism. They were always attentive to our needs and made sure we felt comfortable throughout our visit. Their warm and welcoming attitude added a personal touch to the experience. If you’re looking for a place with excellent service and a team that genuinely cares about their guests, this is the perfect choice on Bohol Island!

I really liked the hotel! They checked me in quickly, Djudith at the reception was a very nice girl!!! The room overlooked the pool. They cleaned well, the linen was clean. The staff was very friendly! The pool is deep, the water is cool and that's great! The breakfasts are boring, but you won't go hungry. I really liked the dinners at the hotel!!! The hotel is on the first coastline, an ideal location on Alona Beach. I have great memories of Panglao and jpark!!! Thank you for the mood Jpark island resort!!!!

Overall, the hotel is not bad. Cleaning on request. There is a kettle, no bottled water. There is a refrigerator. The furniture needs repair. The safe did not work, we asked to repair it, they promised, but they never did. The tap in the bathroom was poorly screwed, it wobbled. The bed, mattress, pillows are good, there is a blanket. The hotel territory is pleasant, there is a swimming pool. Breakfasts are a la carte, good. If you go on an excursion early, they give you a lunch box. You need to ask. You can get to the sea through the Westen Hotel. Guests of our hotel are allowed through. Overall, the hotel is not bad. You can spend several days.

This is a mixed review as at first it was terrible. I selected the resort for my birthday the room I got the shower and toilet seat were broken. There was no hot water and the room was very small. The restaurant food wasn't good, neither were the drinks. I complained bitterly and was upgraded to a deluxe room which was far superior. I recommend only to choose a deluxe room as the others are old and too compact.

Our stay at Henann Premier Coast in Bohol was absolutely delightful. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every detail of our visit was perfect. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering a luxurious and comfortable experience. The resort’s location is stunning, with breathtaking views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. We loved lounging by the pristine pools and indulging in the delicious food at the on-site restaurants. The breakfast buffet had an extensive selection of both local and international dishes, and each meal was a treat. What truly set Henann Premier Coast apart was the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, always greeting us with a smile and ready to assist with any request. Overall, Henann Premier Coast exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the perfect destination for a relaxing and luxurious getaway in Bohol. Highly recommended! --- Hope this helps!
