Panglao: hotel sulla spiaggia

We had a wonderful time at Solea! The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Upon arrival, we were greeted with complimentary welcome drinks for two, and the breakfast buffet was absolutely superb! I really felt like I got great value for my money, both of my kids enjoyed the breakfast buffet for free (I believe kids under 7 eat free). Although it's a bit of a drive from Alona, we’re from Bohol and had our own car, so getting there was a breeze. For those without a vehicle, Solea offers a free shuttle service. They even provide a handy voucher with the pick-up and drop-off schedule. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway!

Had a wonderful stay at Hotel Begonia for 6 nights and 5 days. The room was simply elegant, comfortable and clean and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating making us feel right at home. Buffet breakfast was delicious with a variety of options to choose from Asian and Filipino foods. I love the free tote bag. Thank you so much Hotel Begonia❤️ I would highly recommend Begonia Hotel for my family and friend. Definitely stay here again…❤️❤️❤️

I went to Bohol on a Solo trip. I booked this hotel because it’s the only available beachfront hotel at the time i booked. I find the Facility good when checking photos. When i finally came to Bohol, everyone is friendly! The staffs from this Hotel’s restaurant which is located a few meters away from their hotel, approached me already. They have a bar and there’s a live band. They are just beside the public massage area so i took a massage while drinking while listening to the band. And the most special thing for me is the beach. It really surprised me that Bohol has really many good beaches. It was just sad that i wanted to extend my stay with them but it’s fully booked. Plan your trip ahead of time and book right away. Their food and drinks is not expensive. 😉

L'hotel non è stato ancora completamente rinnovato e il prezzo dovrebbe aumentare una volta completata la ristrutturazione. Questo hotel è pubblicizzato su ogni volo che prendi. La piscina è una caratteristica speciale. Ci sono piscine ovunque e ci sono ancora piscine in costruzione in futuro. Non vi è alcun difetto nella tipologia della camera, come la mancanza del bagno. C'è una vasca da bagno e una doccia. La stanza è grande e ha un balcone. Il ristorante è attualmente condiviso con la porta accanto della Vecchia Hannah. La spiaggia viene mantenuta ogni giorno. Ci sono molti coreani. Non ho ancora visto strutture per bambini e non so se verranno costruite in seguito.

Tutto era perfetto, ma poi durante la brisa di mare si è riempito di acqua perche' anche il gruppo privato ha dovuto cenare al buffet e erano aloooottitt!!! Spero solo che lo organizzano separatamente fuori, perché le loro tavole erano fuori. L'atmosfera all'interno era come nel supermercato. Tuttavia, la spiaggia, la piscina, le camere, il personale sono tutti grandi! Sicuramente ritornerà.

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.

My stay at the hotel was great. The staff were so nice and friendly, and while there was only one restaurant on site, there was a ***** mall next door with multiple dining options and several souvenir shops. There were some empty storefronts, but these appear to be the lingering effects of the long pandemic shutdown. The grounds and beachfront were pretty and well-maintained, and there is a looong beachfront to walk. The nearby town and Alona Beach were accessible, but aside from doing a city tour and a countryside tour, the latter of which included visiting the Chocolate Hills and the Tarsier Sanctuary, my friends and I felt no need to leave the resort for the rest of our stay. I know the rating should just be on our stay, but the reason I rated Modala less than excellent was because my pre-trip preparations were less than ideal. We needed information on airport transfers and tours in advance of our stay, and communications were an ordeal. So much follow-up was needed, with multiple communications repeating the same questions trying to get responses, and I used phone calls, e-mails, and texts. Phone calls were best, if only you could get someone to answer the phone, as e-mails and texts were mostly ignored. Responses tended to be incomplete, but at least on a phone call you can keep ”clarifying” your question. In the end, some questions were left till we arrived at the resort, and could speak to them face to face.

We had a great experience and the staff were very accommodating! Highly recommend dining at the restaurant as they have quality dishes

la stanza aveva molte molle nel bagno che potevano essere facilmente pulite con un liquido di pulizia del bagno. il cabinetto aveva un pezzo di qualcosa come un termite. il carro usato per il servizio in camera era molto polveroso. il vento dell'aria condizionata chiaramente non è stato pulito per anni dal accumulo di polvere grigia di 0.25 pollici nel vento. La stanza che abbiamo soggiornato era vicino alla spiaggia pubblica. Era rumoroso nel giorno a causa dei gordi di spiaggia con altoparlanti karaoke Il personale è stato esemplificativo, ma occorre migliorare la pulizia

Era pieno della sensazione di un resort. Dato che è un posto tradizionale, potrebbe non avere la pulizia e la raffinatezza di un nuovo resort, ma... La meravigliosa vista della piscina di fronte al mare era un luogo dove potevi sentirti guarito solo guardandola, anche se c'era molto vento. Tutto il personale si è preso cura del nostro programma fino alla fine e si è persino offerto di permetterci un check-out posticipato. Tutta la mia famiglia era felice mentre ero lì ^^ Visiterò di nuovo quando visiterò di nuovo Bohol.
