I paid total of $174 plus with the tax but told no breakfast was included on the booking . When I booked via expedia I chose with breakfast. It was disappointing because it only cost less than a hundred dollars if I booked directly to the hotel with breakfast already. That’s the only part I I may not book again with expedia, more expensive. The hotel facility I recommend.

Very pretty location, the resort itself is really nice, especially the rooms and the pools. It's far from any outside dining and the restaurant at the resort seemed to be overpriced to me.

Great family stay
The family loft room was very comfortable for our family of five. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet spread had enough variety. Alona beach is just a short tricycle journey away.

Close to the airport/ 2 big sized pool
Resort is 10 minutes away from Panglao International Airport. Oversized pool is surrounded by the resort rooms and another nice sized pool close to the beach and restaurant pavilion. Good buffet breakfast selection. Beach is small. We saw an inflatable water obstacle course on the beach but due to time constraint, we were not able to explore it. Great hospitality from all the resort staff.

We loved the relaxing atmosphere and native decorations and feel. It wasn’t too far from the downtown Alona beach and yet it was set away so it wasn’t loud around us. The grounds were nice and the staff were all exceptional. Breakfast buffet was delicious although I didn’t like the birds flying on all the silverware but what can you do if you’re an outdoor restaurant. The beach was relaxing to sit at and look out at the water. Beautiful sunrises.

Nice hotel with private beach.
We booked 2 family rooms and the rooms themselves were wonderful. Up and down with spacious bathrooms. The issue we faced was that some of the linens in one room did not smell or feel clean at all. We contacted the lobby and they resolved the issue quickly, even though it was just past midnight when we contacted them. New sheets, no problem, good night's sleep. There are 2 pools, one by the lobby and one near the beach/breakfast area. Both are great. The pool by the lobby was just outside both our rooms and the kids loved it. Plenty of stuff to do around the property. Though they removed their ATV attraction, there is still some activities to do.

Beautiful hotel grounds and private beach.
The rooms were very nice and had a large free standing bath tub, shower and toilet that were clean and well maintained. The garder and grounds were very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The road going to the hotel was not so nice but not difficult to get to.

Transportation shuttle is not available and poorly communicated. Wifi and cable were both not reliable. Technician had came several times and attempted to fixed. Front desk receptionist has no urgency to follow up your concerns/request. Kitchen staff was not available to answer the phone and with poor customer service. Room in service is not reliable.

The beach is nothing special at this property. The sandbox had better sand than the beach. Main reason why I booked this property. Nice grounds. Two pools but the pool by the rooms closes early. Food is ok. Staff was very good. Pricey

Best Place To Stay In Panglao!
The moment you arrive, you're greeted by wonderful front office staff with cold beverage and cold towels to freshen you from your long travel. The room is wonderful and aminities are great! The location is perfect if you want to have a relaxing vacation away from other tourists and locals.. The place is very close to other local points of interest and public beach. No problem getting transportation, the Front Desk Staff can assist you with that. Its quite, clean, food is great, staff are very friendly and always there to assist you. We afe difinitely coming back!

We had a wonderful time staying in this hotel for 2 nights. The family room was perfect for 4 of us and I love it's lay out. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The pool is huge, clean and inviting. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Their free WiFi works great! And most of all, the staff were very friendly and efficient. Would definitely come back!

No beach, dated facilities
Amazing customer service and friendly, very helpful staff. However, there's no beach and the facilities are quite dated. Compared to Bohol Beach Club, this is not as good a deal. Upon walking into room, a dank smell hung in the air. The bathrooms smelled like sewage. Stains on furniture, old, cracked floors. Had to ask for extra pillow - the king bed had only two small pillows.

Okay. If you like quiet.
Nice hotel. Staff are very friendly and nice. Room is nice but beds are only a western double..bathroom shower and tub were great...especially with a baby. Pools are great. Beach is poor. 50 ft wide with white sand poured over top of rock. A couple cabanas. Breakfast was great. Food is very good and tasty. Prices were a tad expensive. Marriott type pricing. Only sad part was the hotel is empty. Maybe 10 other rooms booked? Otherwise would be nice if it was busy with other families and children.

Our reservation included buffet breakfast but since the hotel had low occupancy they served us a la carte instead. It wasn't a big deal since it was still comp but they should not include buffet breakfast included on their expedia deal because people would expect.

Nice Hotel
A nice hotel with a great restaurant area. The only downside is it hasn't been fully repaired since the earthquake. There were several cracks and a couple of places where plaster was hanging off the wall in our room. Otherwise good service, very nice rooms and good breakfasts.

Great for sloths!
Pricey and pretty luxurious. A five minute ride away from the happening bit of Panglao, so not ideal for my funky 20 year old. Two lovely pools. There is a short distance between the hotel/pool area and the beach/pool2/dining area, so you can't jump out the main pool into the sea. In fact, I'm not sure places that are great for diving are great for running into the sea at all. This had its own little private beach, but like the other places I went nearby, the beach is shallow and turns to corally sea grass after a few strides. Free snorkel, free little kayak - all useful additions. They were very kind when my daughter was ill. Good for lovey dovey couples, families with young children, and very lazy people with money.

Private and Visually Pleasing
This was a nice resort, though I'd expect more for a 4.5 star rated hotel. Staff is excellent and very hospitable. They offer a shuttle to Alona Beach which is an added convenience. The food is decent. It would be nice if transportation to and from the hotel was included in the price of the hotel. While they offer hotel amenities, due to the check-in time, it's not feasible for single overnight stays.
