Nice but noisy
Nice hotel. Far from town or restaurants. Noisy from other guests and staff. Breakfast only sweet Philippines food. Toaster for sweet bread was very slow. Staff was very nice. Clean. Towels were well used. No beach. Nice view.

Very nice hotel with a fantastic view and clean, comfortable rooms. Staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and made arrangements for tours and travel connections. Would definitely stay there again!

The hotel is ok. We had 3 rooms. Two of them were on the bottom floor and looked kind of like concrete boxes with beds. Hot or warm water was an issue in all 3 rooms. The 3rd room was great but the hotel staff camped outside of the room every evening. It was rather invasive for my girlfriend and myself to hear them talking and their music right outside of the door. Not a lot of privacy.

This is my third visit here and honestly it is my "go to" place to stay when visiting Bolhol. I enjoy the pools and breakfast, as well as the regular menu. It is a great place to relax or to provide a starting point for day tours. This was my first time staying in one of the rooms with direct pool access and I would do so again.

Pleasant Surprise
Very nice small hotel with everything you need if you don't what to leave. i.e. Coffee Café, 2 kid friendly infinity swimming pools, beautiful view from the balcony (sea side), Live band and buffet BBQ on Friday nights, Great buffet/cook to order breakfast also. Really enjoy the atmosphere and our stay!!

it was very nice overall. the breakfast was good and the pools and room were very clean and nice. but during our 4 day stay, the pipe under the sink burst and our room flooded so we had to change rooms. the hotel, however, did not try to make for this and the counter staff only apologized, which was a little disppointing

Never Again
Don't stay here the pictures are deceiving. The owner has no appreciation for his customers.The owner and his wife took our van we waited on for 45 min's, right in front of us. We were told he has priority. Never bite the hand that feeds you, unless you don't appreciate your customers or respect them. The staff has a few good people but there are some that are worthless. Half the things in the room don't work right the TV, TOILET, AC. Never again will i stay here

A lot of things need to be fixed in this hotel
For the price we paid for a premier suite room, the facilities and services are definitely not worth it. For one, there is no wifi internet in the topmost room where we stayed at (which is the most expensive room in the hotel). However, my sister and her family who stayed in the lower level of the hotel and paid a cheaper price had internet working in their room. The bidet was not working, the blockout curtain roller fell, there were a lot dead insects in the hallway (which were not cleaned even if it was already late in the morning) and the water dispenser was empty (we had to inform the receptionist to fill it up). Our experience during the buffet dinner was also bad - food was less than average and the wait staff had to ask me twice for my room number even though I already signed up the receipt on the first instance (considering also that there was not a lot of new people who came in to dine - in fact it was just our family who were new). I hope they improve the facilities and services.

False advertising- not even close to the beach
I don't know where to start. Out of 3 nights spent only had lukewarm shower once after many complaints. TV the first night had 3 bright spots on it so they switched us to another room with a correctly working TV. Free breakfast was worth what was paid. Rancid bacon, eggs barely cooked and a mango juice that was mostly water. Mango flavored water was more accurate. Twin beds pushed together so one party was always falling through the crack. Hotel is a long way from almost everything so cab rides everywhere were required. We would not stay there again on a bet.

Amazing ocean view
Room is clean and comfortable( except water from shower wasn't hot) and staff are nice. View is relaxing and food at the restaurant is good. It's quite far from the seaport (~20-30mins by motor) but close to the city. Would recommend if you spend time around that part of the island instead of short stopover for water tours.

The view!
Entire family stay here for few days.. place has a great view and infinity pool just love it. Staff are friendly except we deal with some little bugs in the room. I think that's normal because the country is tropical. But over all we have a good time.

Nice hotel with a fantastic ocean view.
Loved the view from the room(s). Staff are great and they take care of all your requests. Free breakfast is limited but not bad. However there is absolutely nothing nearby to even buy a coffee. You will sendup paying "tourist" prices for everything that is available at hotel restaurant. Getting transportation to go to the city centre is not easy after 6 pm should you want to buy your dinner from somewhere else.

Great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here. If you have the time, I highly recommend the lunch on the hidden beach for 300 peso per person. It was such a nice little spot, and a yummy lunch of traditional Filipino food. Nice quiet little spot to relax in for a few hours. The hotel itself was very nice, very clean. Only issue was it's a ways away from the actual city of Tagbilaran, so if you're interested in exploring by foot in the thick of the city you have a ways to go. Staff were all great and the in house restaurant was good with lots of options ranging from Western to traditional Filipino, to some international dishes as well. The portions are huge so you can often split a dish with someone else. Breakfast buffet was simple but good enough for a free breakfast. Pools are really nice with lots of spots to sit and relax. Right beside the Blood Pact Memorial which is neat to see, however if you stand outside the hotel for too long, the people selling things to the tourists start to hassle you.

They overbooked and gave us a different room
We booked this hotel to be near the airport on our last day because our flight was too early. They did not give us the room that we reserved. Their reason was because they overbooked. Other guests had to be transferred to another resort which was far and old. Also, there was no wifi. They told us it was under repair. No free water. Will never come back. This hotel is overpriced.

An okay stay
We chose this hotel as a compromise between the beach and the mountains. While the view and pool are great the hotel is definitely starting to show it's age and lack of upkeep. I would strongly recommend paying more for a superior or delux room as standard rooms are right on the highway and extremely noisy. The bed was very hard and we had to pay for extra pillows.
