If you want spectacular views of the ocean, this place has it. The cost is very modest and the accommodations are decent. I have stayed at many resorts in this area but none have these views. The road to the resort is very bad but otherwise the most bang for the buck for what you get.

The place was peaceful and quite. Nice ambiance, however, the road going to the property is not paved. The room was quite outdated and the bathroom stinks like mothballs and water leaks around the toiled bowl. I can not connect to WiFi when inside the room. The food needs to be improved because it tasted terrible. However, they make the best coffee.
Response from Cliffside Resort on 6 Jan 2023
Hello Shiarah Mae, Thank you very much for taking the time and leaving a review here. The road is a municipality road and we can't just pave it by ourselves, also a certain part is privately owned and the owner does not allow proper paving. Nevertheless, we are doing some improvement there at the moment with Anapog. I am sorry the room was smelly. There is nothing we can do about it now but we would have been able to do something about it while you were here - if we would've known. Same for the toilet bowl. Why you cannot connect to the wifi must be a setting problem with your phone as other guests can connect without a problem. I am also sorry that you did not like the food here, but we have a very good reputation around Alona, all our dishes are made freshly and we pay attention to detail. I am very sad you could not appreciate that. Again, Shiarah Mae, thank you for your review and we shall work on your notes. Your Cliffside Team

People were friendly, Mark, MaryJane to name just a few The house reef in front of the property is very good better than paying to go out to Balicasag island. Someone needs to take a spear an snorkel equipment and go into shallows and kill spinny sea urchines too many of them and they kill the reef.

Cliffside Panglao is probably one of Panglao's best kept secrets. I managed to stumble on this resort a few days before my trip to Bohol. I was only staying in one spot and I found this gem. I had the honor of meeting the owners during my stay there. They were kind and very hospitable and have owned the resort for three years after taking it over from the previous tennants. They have renovated the pool, eating area, and are continuing to renovate the front entrance and are creating a beautiful lobby. The main rooms are the original structure, but the suites are additions. This spot was absolutely perfect. I stayed by myself for a nice quiet getaway and was very content in the pool (with swim up bar), happy hour, affordable and tasty Filipino breakfasts, friendly staff and of course the view. You can rent just about anything from the resort, such as snorkels (with snorkeling right off the cliffs), vacation packages and whatnot, and I highly recommend grabbing a bike. It's not the most affordable (apparently) compared to some other options, but I liked the convenience. They also got another bike for me since I only wanted to ride the 110cc motor. The staff always went above and beyond for me. There are so many wonderful things that I could say about this spot, but the best part is the calm. Best believe you can easily head over to Alona any time you want, but the quiet at Cliffside is unbeatable.

Very cozy priv place magnif sea view from a cliff
We stayed with the family for a full week. The place is a bit aside from Alona beach, but I do not know if one really needs to be at Alona beach at all :) I would prefer not to go to Alona beach if one asks a recommendation. Especially because the hotel restaurant provides very good food and restaurant staff is superb pleasant. We had all our meals only at the hotel and enjoyed it every time. The hotel has access to the sea where boats can come to pick you. The hotel also has scuba diving partners shop at the hotel, so you get all diving services without any need to go anywhere else. The owners are always at your service and they will treat you very very well. They treated us very kindly: got suit upgrade, did all their best when electricity was cut, provided free breakfast as a courtesy, etc. The only thing for improvement is room maintenance (apart from suits, which are in perfect condition). Have a wonderful stay at Cliff Side Resort! You will enjoy it!

Good hotel in Panglao away from the crowd in Alona
Good wifi. Room was big, toilet was clean, but need to be retiled. Place is quiet, away from the noisy crowd. However, there are portions of rough roads, quite far from the national road. It would be best if there is a tricycle, exclusive to the hotel guests, waiting near the national road. Food can be ordered at the place.
Thank you for the review. Was nice to have you at our place. Looking forward to see you again. Best regards Guido

Great hotel outside Alona Beacch
Hotel was in a really nice quiet area, but outside Of Alona beach, so best option is to hire a scooter/motorbike at hotel instead of trikes to save some $$.

The hotel was overbooked and the manager/owner was seated at the front desk when I arrived and she never even looked at me or interacted with me. She allowed the Philippine worker to take care of the mess! I was sent to a very subpar accommodation and was never offered any compensation for the amount of money I lost. HOtels.com was the one that gave some compensation for the loss I suffered from their overbooking. The pool is small and one side is used for divers to practice. There were not enough chairs for the amount of guests around the pool. I would never go back to Cliffside Resort.

my family and I booked a trip here and it is cozy and relaxing. We just had minor issues with tv which constantly goes on mute and the high priced food. Since the place is quite isolated you can order food nearby and get the number of AtiAtihan for a good chicken inasal with sweet sauce. Food at the hotel costs 250 per person for one serving. also the activities seemed to center only on diving good thing we were able to contact someone to show us around

too quiet, dull, and pretty basic
The room was pretty basic. it is not worth what they are asking for. The hotel is located in a very isolated area and they do not have much amenities to offer. The swimming pool was clean but the bar they have in the picture has not been used for awhile. There's not much for a beach either. So if you are looking for ABSOLUTE peace and quite, this may be your place. But if you're looking for a nice balance of peace and a little bit of entertainment, this is not for you. The town is quite a bit away and it costs quite a bit for a tricycle ride. The staff are pretty awesome though.

Chilled and quiet place close to Alona
We booked 2 days in cliffside with my wife and my son since the place looked like so beautiful on the website. And the place really worth a visit ! The view is awesome everywhere in the resort and we felt really chilled in it. All the staff was atentionned with us and the bungalow we had was large enought and clean. We just had to ask for some glasses in the room since we didn't had ones. We enjoyed the restaurant (and the view one again) except that we waited a little bit long to get what we ordered... I would say the price is really fair compared to the services and moreover we got a promotional price for our stay. So I hightly recommend !

For a calm holiday
This resort is not for everyone, it is a little far from the beach. But the reception arrange you transport there and back in a few minutes or you can take a tricycle back for a few PHP. If you prefer nightlife you should looking for another accommodation closer to Alona Beach. If you prefer peaceful sleeping, nice sea view this could be the right place. We had a realy nice and spacious sea view suite. Wi-Fi worked fine, prices at bar are reasonable. Staff is helpful and very kind. The only bothersome thing at our stay was a very low water pressure in bathroom.

Great View but expensive F&B
We really liked the amazing view from the top of the cliffs and the tasty pizza at the restaurant, from where one can also have a breathtaking view of the ocean below. Unfortunately, the prices for food and drinks were ridiculously high and the quality was below average (except the pizza). The so called "infinity pool" could be much nicer if management would actually put enough water into it so it overflows, thereby creating the (currently non-existing) "infinity" effect. Location is a bit far from any other places of interest, so motor bike or car rental is an absolute MUST. Management and staff are all very friendly but some lack professionalism. We found our rooms had not been cleaned on 3 separate days and had to remind the front desk everyday (not acceptable for the room rate that is charged on the Sea View Suite). There are only 5 sun beds at the pool (falling apart), of which only 2 had covers on them and these covers looked like they could have come from a landfill side - this left a very bad impression. The Sea View Suite is equipped nicely with a big TV and all the Pay TV channels you need. Though the actual "sea view" is partially obstructed. Overall, it was still a nice stay but we would not stay there again. The place has great potential but more attention to detail is needed.

If ever a guest is wrongfully placed into a room they did not reserve, possibly due to an oversite by reception or even by one of the outside agencies, we always accommodate them with cheaper prices, free lunch or dinner, free transportation to Alona Beach and back to the resort and try to make their stay more enjoyable and less expensive. We always bend over backwards for our guests if we feel we made an error in their booking.

New management has a long way to go
PROS: the cliffs and sea right in front are indeed beautiful, food is decent but a little pricey, free welcome drink, daily happy hour, Prana diving and yoga is located on-site (they are awesome and highly recommended) CONS: Overpriced, poor service and management (apparently new as of Dec 2014), incorrect billing, broken toilet that made our room smell of sewage, no longer includes free motorcycles so you have to pay 150P each way for a tricycle ride into town (too far to walk), all of this could be overlooked if it only cost ~$20USD per night, but it is def not with what they are charging We wanted this to be a nice splurge (by far the most expensive place we stayed at in 3 weeks) but it was the worst hotel we stayed at in the Philippines. Don't waste your time or money here.

Apparently this guy/couple did not take advantage of our transportation into Alona Beach and back during 8 hours of the day for only 25 pesos per head. Our driver even drives on his off time to accommodate guests. No foul orders were reported to me about his toilet. The food is outstanding here and priced just right - especially for the view that you get. We also DO NOT charge a 10% surcharge or 12% VAT like some finer restaurants or resorts do.

Avoid this hotel!!
Don't believe prior good reviews, avoid this hotel. Service is terrible, they overcharge for everything! We booked a suite for extra $$ and they took us to a cheaper deluxe room. When I questioned why the room looked different from the pictures they explained that the suites were overbooked and we'd have to stay in the deluxe until a suite was available. Deluxe rooms are terrible, bad a/c, noisy and mattress is like a rock. They offer no access to Alona Beach, no bikes, shuttle costs 50php each way but was in shop most of the week so you have to hire a car for 300php each way. You'll be stranded at cliff side with NOTHING to do! Food was cold, slow and expensive. Want a towel, pay 50 php. Want a cup of instant coffee, pay 65php. Bottle of water 60php. Shower in room has no water pressure. They Dont service your room unless you hunt them down and demand it. They charge you 150php to change your bedsheets! No toilet paper for bathrooms. Don't book trip through hotel either because they overcharge for all trips. Hire an outside car...you'll save a lot. John the manager said owners have fallen on hard times.....it shows! AVOID THIS HOTEL!!!
Response from Manager on 23 May 2015
i was not the manager during this time period and I can not refute what the guest experienced. I do know that if the Cliffside Resort made a mistake in booking or room reservation then the guest was sufficiently compensated for in one way or another. Transportation to Alona beach and back is provided for many convenient hours of the day at the cost of 25 pesos per person per trip. This has always been the policy. Some of our pool beds are currently being replaced. As for the suite rooms being cleaned, it is up to the guests to inform the reception area for a cleaning of the room. All of the other rooms that we have, Standard and Deluxe rooms, have a sign to put on the door to let our house keeping staff know to clean the room. People come to our resort for the peace and quite, tranquility and of course maybe the best view Panglao has to offer. Those that want to go to Alona Beach for the day are transported there and also picked up for a nominal fee. Prices of food are very competitive with the area resorts. Food is usually served warm or hot and in a timely fashion. I am sorry that this guest had a bad experience with that. Come see for yourself! Read the other many positive comments about Cliffside. Not all guests are going to be happy and certainly a bad experience can lead to a bad review.

Nice place
We were there for 3 nights in one of the Ocean View suite type rooms. The room itself was great with a nice king sized bed, front sitting room, big tv, etc. But during our stay, our room wasn't cleaned once (no made bed, towels, etc.). We aren't too messy so we just lived with it, but fresh towels would have been nice (especially after swimming in the ocean and such. The food was pretty good at their restaurant too, but a few times they were out of ingredients for the things we ordered so we had to pick other foods. Not the end of the world, but would have been good to know before ordering too. The location was great up on the cliff, and our island hopping boat was able to pick us up at the bottom of the stairs which worked out nice (one less taxi to take). The pool looked nice (we sat next to it, but didn't actually swim in it).
Response from Dave on 5 Apr 2015
As the manager of the Cliffside Resort I know that for our suite rooms at that time the guest were informed to come to the reception desk to ask if they need to have their room cleaned. Since this incident, however, we have changed our system to now have a sign to put on the outside of each suite indicating to our housekeeping whether the guests want their attention. All of our other types of rooms, Standard and Deluxe, had the signs for their rooms and now there will be no excuses for housekeeping not to clean any room and also no reason for a guest to come to the reception area to request a room change.
