Nice little spot
Nice people run the place. Can easily walk to Alona beach, but unfortunately the path is through a lot of trash (not the hotel's fault). The water has a strong smell. But if you want a bed at a good price, this is a value for money place. Wifi only from common area--doesn't reach all rooms.

Good value for money
The place is cheap but will provide you with all that you need. The water pressure was low but the location is the key. The road to beach was narrow and dark at night but given the price and good service from the staff this place is awesome.

Clean room and shower. Super close to Alona Beach. Cute exterior as well. Staff was very friendly. They even let us keep our baggage there after we checked out. We went on a snorkeling and island hopping tour and came back for our stuff later. The owner even offered to let us use the restroom before we left.

We stayed there on 2 non-consecutive nights and stayed in 2 different deluxe double rooms. Both were super clean and comfortable with air con. Don’t expect sea view but it’s 2 min walk from the beach and nearby restaurants. The only thing is that in the bathroom of the first room, the floor was not well built so the shower water did not drain properly, and the curtain was see-through. Breakfast was limited to Filipino option for 100php. The hotel kept our luggage for 2 days while we explored Bohol. When we came back, the staff was confused about the booking! WiFi not in range of room. Recommended for comfort and convenient location.

Can find a better room at lower price.
Hired staff very friendly and helpful, not so much the owner. Upon arrival I was told that standard rooms do not have hot water showers, yet the exposed wiring is there for a heater, and this is not mentioned in ad. Four ceiling lights have on and dim switch but no off position, so they are lit 24/7. Wifi is virtually non-existant, even in the common area.

Great Value Just a Few Steps to Pangalo Beach
Great value for this resort. Short walk to Panglao beach. Room was very clean, spacious, good aircon. Hot water worked for us without issue and WiFi was reliable. Staff/Management on the grounds were very friendly and helpful. To get to the beach you do need to walk down a narrow path (about 2-4 minutes) and anyone with walking issues (elderly or disabled) may not be comfortable with the path. Overall great value and recommend to others.

I experienced that there were bedbugs in our beds that make us uncomfortable and irritated going to sleep. Though the room is well maintained and cleaned but bedbugs... gosh! They don't have enough toiletries to provide with u, we pay for four pax and they only provide 2 towels.

Goede locatie
Locatie is goed. Dichtbij de leuke winkeltjes en een supermarkt op loopafstand. Strand is dichtbij maar geen echt strand.dit is de plek om opgehaald te worden met de boot voor de excursies. Kamer is prima alleen geen haken of plekken om kleding op te hangen in de badkamer.

安さ>質
安いです。部屋はシンプルで、必要最小限のものだけ置かれています。バスルームエリアがとても汚く、初日に巨大なゴキブリを発見しました…。シャワーを浴びると水が流れず床にすぐ溜まってしまうため、バスルームの床は常に濡れている状態です。また、蚊が多いので寝てる間にかなり刺されました。

딱 가격만큼
자세히 보지 않았는데 드라이기가 없어서 당황했어요 화장실은 꽤 습한 편이고 매일 하우스키핑은 딱히 이루어지는거 같진 않습니다 비치에서 가까운 거리이긴 하나 지금은 숙소 올라가는 길이 공사중이어서 매우 좁고 후미져요 밤에 여자끼리만 간다면 좀 무서운 거리입니다 대신 가격이 싸고 가격대비로 본다면 나쁘지는 않습니다

Bara glada miner efter vår vistelse på Alona Groove! Nära och bra till allt, litet mysigt hotell. Ja. Duschen va kanske inte på topp, och aircon lät ibland ganska mycket. Men om man inte är så kräsen kan jag garantera att ni skulle trivas här! :-)

숙소 위치와 침구류는 매우 만족이었으나 부대서비스가 없어서 많이 아쉬웠습니다. 방안에 냉장고도 없고 화장실도 작은점이 아쉬웠습니다.

Hotel más que aceptable muy cerca de la playa
Mi estancia fue corta solo 36 horas, pero muy práctica y placentera, el único problema era que no había control de temperatura en la ducha, aunque tampoco se necesitaba demasiado. Hotel recomendable, buena ubicación.

Впечатления остались положительные! Приветливый персонал, ухоженная территория, номер просторный, терасса уютная, минус что не было горячей воды в номере, забывали постоянно положить полотенца и туалетную бумагу! Приходилось постоянно ходить просить , от пляжа 3 минуты. Завтраки вкусные и очень бюджетные!

Nær Alona beach
Vi bodde 6netter her og trivdes godt. Hyggelig personale. Vi hadde wifi på rommet, men de lover bare at det skal være i resepsjonen. Vårt rom lå nærmest resepsjonen. Kort vei til Alona Beach der det ligger mange restauranter, barer og dykkesjapper langs hele stranda. Ville bodd her igjen.

위치적인 장점
선풍기만 있는 방인지, 에어컨 방인지 따로 표시가 없었어요 너무 싸다 생각하고 갔는데 에어컨은 있지만 선풍기만 사용할 수 있다고 하더라구요. 선풍기만 가능한 방인지 에어컨 방인지 꼭 확인하시구요. 화장실에 뜨거운 물은 안나오고 벌레가 많습니다(특히 모기)ㅋㅋ 대신 알로나비치와 가까워서 밤늦게 놀고 몸 뉘일 곳만 필요하다 하시는 분들에겐 추천이에요. 남편과 갔는데.. 엄청 싸웠습니다
