Panglao Municipality Hotels with Gym

Definitely one of the better hotel/resorts that I've encountered during my travels in the Philippines. The hotel itself is located in a beautifully secluded lot that's surrounded by vegetation & conveniently placed a stones throw away from the main commercial centre which hosts a supermarket & even a DIY shop. The rooms are very comfortable, clean & all come with a balcony & modern AC as standard. But the best part is the large pool which lights up at night & is by the restaurant which serves good coffee, pizza & an excellent Thai curry. If you have transport then i would highly recommend staying here.

I was really worried after seeing some negative reviews online, but my experience here totally exceeded my expectations! Right from the entrance, there's a dedicated security guard with a firearm, and they check your reservation details every time you come in. The views are absolutely unbeatable. The BBC rooms are quieter than the Ocean and Thomas room types because there are fewer of them. The staff are also fantastic and very welcoming! If you walk a few hundred meters from the hotel entrance, you can take a tuk-tuk or just walk to the main road outside where there's a 7-Eleven and some local street food restaurants. A tuk-tuk to Alona Beach costs 200 pesos. If you have some space in your luggage, I recommend bringing some instant noodles, just in case you don't fancy the restaurant food – it's a good backup! 😁 Walking along the beach towards the Ocean and Thomas resorts, they both have security guards who will ask for your room number. Every time I went there and met a guard, they were all really nice and let me look around. The beach in front of Thomas has a lot of seaweed, the Ocean's beach is decent, but BBC's is absolutely stunning! Everyone's experience is different, of course.

It’s very close to Alona Beach, it’s very safe, and it’s very convenient to call a tutu car at the door. I ordered breakfast included, and I was full of energy every day to eat freshly made breakfast. Looking at the swimming pool inside the resort, the sun is shining, especially Comfortable, the manager, the proprietress, and the waiters are very careful to take care of everything and respond to requests. The room environment has basic needs, but it cannot be compared with domestic hotels. After all, Bohol Island is a semi-developed island, and the surrounding environment is relatively natural and simple

Conveniently located close enough to Alona beach to easily access all the restaurants, beaches, shops etc by scooter or tuktuk but also far away enough to not constantly be bothered by loud motors, tons of roosters and all that other noise. Rooms are spacious and clean, equipped with safe, fridge, hair dryer and plenty of racks and hooks to hang and dry your clothes. There's also an outdoor gym area and the pool is big and good for swimming. Plus the wifi is very stable and great for working remotely. Service is friendly and helpful, the restaurant is good too. Can recommend the hotel

The taxi to Alona Beach is 50-100p. We arrived a few hours early, and they kindly allowed us to check in. The service was warm and welcoming. There are several Korean restaurants, a 7-Eleven, and a coffee shop right outside the hotel. The hotel's exterior is quite attractive, and the rooms are spacious with relatively new facilities. The bathroom even has a bucket and basin for washing clothes, and the balcony comes with a drying rack. It's also very quiet at night, and the bedding smells fresh. The only downside is the lack of stable hot water.

The moment I stepped into Bohol Dolphin Bay Resort, I was enveloped in a strong vacation vibe. All the buildings are blue, and the swimming pool is crystal clear. While the room's decor and facilities are basic, it was clean and tidy. You get what you pay for, and at this price point, it's practical and budget-friendly. I spent my days out and about, returning around 3-4 PM daily for a shower, then heading downstairs promptly at 5:55 PM for the 6 PM shuttle. After dinner, the stroll back to Bohol Dolphin Bay Resort from the beach, which took a little over ten minutes, was very pleasant.

The owner is Chinese, it is very convenient for communication, it is very convenient to have diving experience, and it is also very convenient to eat, but it needs to be booked, it is a bit slow, and everything else is good. He also arranged for us to go out to sea and island hopping, which is really a good travel experience.
