Very terrible room and service. The room we got is totally different from Expedia (sofa beds in living room vs. single beds in loving room). The GM and staff refused to offer any help, but asked us to coordinate with Expedia ourselves. Plus, we made the booking (non refundable) and then got email for "compulsory" nye dinner of usd 170 per person. The service attitude is "patient but useless", and GM basically said they dunt care about social media reviews. The entire experience is very disappointing and I'm feeling cheated / trapped.

Short of Expectations
The staff was outstanding and the villa beautifully located with spectacular views. Attention to details prevents a more positive review. Our under the sink cabinet door was hanging loose; tiles in the infinity pool cracked and some missing; pool deck tiles broken, etc. The little things that add up and cause a less than rave review.

A perfect place to relax
Hands down one of the best resorts I've been to! Each private villa comes with its own balcony lounge area, private pool, and my favorite, a very relaxing open air 2 person jacuzzi bath tub. Best of all is the warm hospitality and first class service of the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They anticipate your needs before you even ask. With a limited number of villas, it is never crowded. Eskaya is a perfect place to relax.

One of the Best!
The staff are pleasant, and very accommodating. We just have a few comments, there was no welcome fruits when we arrived just what was written on there web page, the bar was not refilled my kids are looking for chips and chocolates... Needs improvement on the cleanliness of the Villas.The main pool also needs improvement. They should add choices of food during breakfast . But my kids enjoy the pool and the whole villa itself. It was a fun filled weekend for all of us. Thank you Eskaya staff. We loved to stay again :)

True haven
Of all the places I've visited, and all the hotels I've stayed at, Eskaya in Bohol is one I would call a true haven. There's something special in a place where anything is possible, any request is granted. Wholeheartedly granted. It was as if my friends and I were their only guests! When the staff knows you by your first name soon as you arrive, they know you prefer warm water rather than iced and they serve it soon as you sit for your meal without you asking, and they stand outside and wave goodbye when you leave as if they stand at their own front steps waiting for your return...you know you've found a home away from home. Once inside your private villa (we stayed in GV16), you can't help but feel the opulence. They have crossed their T's and dotted their I's. It felt like home. There's so much to see and do in Bohol, but at the end of the day, coming "home" is something we looked forward to. Having around Andrew Fernandes, their resident manager; Manuel, the front office manager; Jun, the restaurant manager; Nash, the driver who picked us up and set the tone of what to expect not just from the resort but of the entire island, Nash gave meaning to "when first impressions last"; Reggie with one G we called him, who was present anywhere you turn as if he was your sidekick ready to help; and the rest of the staff: Lorna, Antonio, the housekeepers, the staff at the spa, the trainees... they all made our first visit to Bohol hopefully, one of many more.

8.5/10 for Eskaya
Beautiful resort..great location... amazing villas ..many with a private pool. Staff very helpful ..Food in restaurant was ok..filipino food was excellent ..western style dishes need to be improved though ... melted cheese on everything. During our stay ... typhoon knocked out main electric ... which is common in phils ..but Eskaya generator then failed ...leaving us with no power for whole day... unacceptable for a resort charging over 20k php per night. Just as we checked out it happened again.... Aside of this i would certainly stay at Eskaya again .... out of typhoon season tho lol ... its a luxury resort ...that costs ...but on balance its worth it.

Romantic dinner by the sea
The staff and F&B manager were very accommodating and service-oriented. But, we were disappointed with the maintenance of the resort's landscaping /gardens. Being the most high-end resort in panglao, we expected that there's attention to details. Weeds were growing in the grass and it obviously looked like the grass was not regularly maintained. However, we did enjoy our quiet, romantic dinner watching the sunset in the sea view deck. It was worth celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary there.

Best boutique hotel in Panglao Island
My husband stayed at Eskaya for 5 days. We had a Villa with a private infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Stunning room and view. Loves the outside bathrooms. Very attentive staff. The spa for massage was excellent. It was very quiet and so relaxing. This Villa made the trip excuse it has thre pool AND the ocean a few steps away. It was perfect. We will go back and stay here! Also, the town area is a 5 minute ride away!

The staff at Eskaya were fantastic and truly care that everyone has an enjoyable visit, not just to their resort, but to Bohol. The food at the restaurant was incredibly flavorful. Spa services, trust me I used all of them, were a delight. The location and privacy of the villas were peaceful and I look forward to the day I return.

Great resort with good service
What a place. The infinity pool is amazing, the room is big and luxurious. To be honest, this is way out of our normal league, but we got this on an amazing promotion, so my impration is that of someone who is not used to this level of hotel. With this accounted for, the hotel has great service and attention to details is top notch.

Great place for peace of mind
All the staff at Eskaya were extremely friendly! They cared about our stay and made us feel special. The beach at Eskaya is very tranquil, away from the bustling crowd which is great if you are looking for some seclusion. And the resort is only 10 mind tricycle ride away from Alona Beach, so it is not too far away from entertainment and food either!! We loved the resort! It does come with a high price tag! But the reward is absolutely wonderful!!!

安静的度假村
度假村的接送机服务很好，让人难忘，从用车到人员，都有别于其他酒店、度假村。 度假村很大，很安静，适合在村里休息。海滩没人，但是水草很多，不太适合游泳，不过，无边泳池很美而且人很少，大人孩子很喜欢。 早餐有美式、菲式和日式，量很大，吃过早餐后基本不用考虑午餐了。菲式早餐是我的首选，尤其是那个牛肉,好像叫Beef Tapa，和烤鱼，接近中餐。晚餐也不错，有乐队，点了著名的Anak,很美好的晚餐体验。 度假村比较贴近自然，所以免不了有蚊虫蚂蚁骚扰，适合喜欢安静、自然的人度假。

Hôtel avec une super situation, mais vieillissant.
Hôtel très bien conçu, au calme idéal pour des séjours reposants loin de l'excitation de grands clubs. Le personnel est sympa, la nourriture correcte et les villas originales. Cependant deux ombres viennent ternir le tableau : une infrastructure vieillissante non rénovée (avec de plus une plage qui ne correspond plus aux photos...) et un déficit de services (bar de la piscine fermée, sports nautiques discrets et services du lobby restreints). Bref, un tarif haut qui ne se justifie plus...

전동카트사고
가족여행 5박을 예약하고 처음으로 필리핀보홀 에스카야리조트(그랜드빌라)을 가게 되었습니다. 삼일째 되던 날 아이들은 룸에 있고 남편과 인근 마트에 다녀오다가 호텔입구에서 전동카트(버기/골프카트)를 탔는데 커브를 돌다 제가 카트에서 떨어졌습니다. 운전하던 분은 당황스러워하며 스파실로 데려갔고 거기서 너무나 엉망인 응급처치를 했습니다. 왼발이 접질리고 왼발에 아스팔트에 떨어져 상처가 세군데가 났죠. ㅠ ㅠ 늦은 시간이라 일단 마무리하고 그 다음날 호텔매니져의 사과라든지 직원의 사과는 전혀 없었습니다. 여러곳의 여행을 다녀봤지만 이러한 태도의 호텔은 처음입니다. 서울에 돌아오자마자 너무 화가나서 글 올립니다. 다시는 가고 싶지 않고 추천하고 싶지 않은 리조트입니다. 가게되시면 꼭 여행자보험에 가입하시고 안전에 유의 하시기 바랍니다.
