Hotels near St. Augustine Parish Church, 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.

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 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.

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

Great view, breakfast, clean, neat, good for taking pictures at the beach after breakfast, and the sky pool on the 4th floor is nice and clean, perfect for taking pictures. And the pool on the 1st floor is also clean and nice.

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.

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.

Expensive, but worth it. Hospitality is top notch, never met so many nice people in my life, bed was very comfortable, everything was clean, and food was good. Massages were the best I’ve ever had in my life. If we ever came back to Panglao again, the ONLY reason we wouldn’t stay at Amorita again would be due to the price. Everything else was top notch.
