Find 5-Star Hotels in Panglao Municipality

"The scenery is beautiful, the rooms are clean and well-designed, the facilities are complete, and the breakfast is abundant. The swimming pool is fantastic. For breakfast, you can order à la carte, and the coffee and fruits are especially great. For lunch and dinner, the food at the adjacent MANJA restaurant is also excellent. At the sunset bar, cocktails have a happy hour before 6 PM. You can snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak at the beach, and even walk to the beach of the neighboring hotel. The staff are very warm and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience, and I've already recommended this hotel to my friends."

"The location is very convenient, right near Alona Beach, so you can just step out and be there. It's also a relatively private hotel. The facilities are great, with two swimming pools and a gym. Other activities need to be booked in advance. It's very close to the airport, and round-trip transfers cost 1600 pesos. Breakfast was quite mediocre, without many options, mostly Filipino dishes. It has a private beach, which is small and not very high quality, mostly rocky, but it's perfect for a relaxing vacation if you're just looking for a quiet place to lie down."

"The hotel is grand and spotlessly clean. Although check-in is at 3 PM, the staff were very polite. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, served until 10 AM. The hotel's pool wasn't crowded, and there were many sports facilities available."

"There is nothing like this on Panglao, when you live in the silence of the jungle, surrounded by nature and excellent service. Excellent breakfasts, when you order exactly what you want, and do not choose from the buffet from the leftovers. We did not have time to try all the breakfast options in a week. The Paprika restaurant itself is one of the best on the island, located on a cliff with a beautiful view of the sea. The service is ideal - you can correspond with the staff via WhatsApp, without having to call. Free transfer to Alona beach, for an additional price we took a trip to the fireflies, a tour of the island of Bohol and a boat for snorkeling. Meeting at the airport and return transfer to the airport was also for money (Attention! Now, to fly from the island, you need to have 900 pesos in cash per person, prepare this money in advance!). The villa itself looks luxurious and spacious, the ceiling made of many crossbars emphasizes the ethnic orientation, and the surrounding of each house with a dense forest with birds singing creates coziness and unity with nature. Of the minuses - I did not like the excursion to the island of Balikasag for snorkeling - early in the morning you swim trying to see dolphins, but the chance to see them is very small, on the island of Balikasag itself they let you swim only 1 hour, and then take you back to the hotel, although the hotel said that the boat is at our disposal and we can swim everywhere and as much as we want. I would also call the hotel's somewhat abandoned state a minus - the stable and spa center look sad, some villas from the outside look abandoned and covered with dry leaves. Since we were in the dry season, the area around the villa was dry, it would be nice if the lawn near the houses was watered, but this may possibly attract extra insects, which, by the way, were almost non-existent, despite the jungle surroundings. The staff speaks excellent English, is smiling and friendly. Thank you for an unforgettable week in a paradise!"

"After severe disappointment in Alona Beach area and the hotel we were in, we rolled the dice and payed more for this room than we ever have anywhere else. It was absolutely amazing, every single second of it. Stunning scenery, beautiful food, good entertainment, incredible room. Bliss "

"The hotel left a very pleasant impression. The grounds are beautifully decorated for the New Year holidays, and the atmosphere is calm and cozy. The staff are attentive and friendly; check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The room has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Slippers, bathrobes, a small hairdryer, a tea set, a mini-bar, and toothbrushes are provided. All amenities are replenished daily, and housekeeping is regular and thorough. Breakfasts are substantial and varied. There are seasonal fruits, good coffee, scrambled eggs, as well as some Filipino national dishes. Vegetarian options and separate items for children are available, which is very convenient. The location is unique. There's practically nothing nearby, but that's a big plus. Thanks to this, the beach is quiet, uncrowded, and very peaceful, perfect for a relaxed and secluded getaway."

"This is a decent resort with good value for money, perfect if you're using it as your sole base in Bohol. It's a notch below a typical resort in Sanya, China, but still offers standard five-star hotel amenities. What sets it apart from Sanya hotels is the excellent snorkeling right off the shore. The hotel provides free life vests, so even kids can enjoy it (safety first!). There are plenty of fish in the water, and you can easily find starfish – in fact, we later realized starfish are quite common around Bohol. If you're looking for more diverse marine life, you'll need to take a boat further out. The breakfast buffet is standard, with a good variety, and always features at least one roasted meat daily. The lunch and dinner restaurants are a bit pricey for what you get, though the dining environment is lovely. There's also a quiet rooftop restaurant on the fourth floor above the guest rooms. Given its location near Alona Beach, a fairly bustling area, you can easily order food delivery to the hotel lobby via apps, and there's a shuttle service to Alona. Being close to both the airport and Alona makes it an ideal first hotel in Bohol. You can then use it as a base to book sardine snorkeling and island hopping tours, even directly through Ctrip."
