“Great hotel and location”
It was an amazing property. Every single one of the staff said hello every time our paths crossed. There was so much attention to detail and it was all beautifully crafted. The beachfront was idyllic and as well as the beds and umbrellas there was also table tennis, badminton and pétanque The pool was beautifully sited and a great temperature The restaurant had an equally great view and the breakfast was simple and well-presented. The grounds were lovely.

“Would recommend if visiting Panglao, without a doubt.”
Hotel was really well maintained and staff was super helpful. The breakfast was amazing! They even made us a breakfast-to-go on the morning of our early checkout. Really nice addition with art gallery and library. We enjoyed that the location was outside of the main town, and direct access to the beach (with no entrance fee as some of the resorts had).

We loved the small boutique resort feel, no crowds around the pool or at breakfast, very personal and incredibly friendly service from the staff. Restaurant view of the sea is amazing, grounds and gardens are beautiful and the direct beach access is great. Resort was away from the busy noisy touristy area and very secure. Felt safe letting our 9 and 12yr old children have some freedom within the resort.

“Stunning property and grounds.”
We were a family of two adults and two kids. I booked 2 x rooms and without being asked they used their initiative and put us into interconnecting rooms. Thank you.

“a little paradise location with so many tour options at your door”
boutique Spanish styled resort close to town but far enough away from the noisy clubs. Amazing staff, breakfasts were incredible, cocktails lunch and dinner.... smallish pool but adequate... beach lounges and hammocks. Fire flies around the pool at night too....

Wish repeat client like myself would get discount as incentive. Stayed here for at least 3 or 4 times but again no discount whatsoever. However, that would be a nice gesture

“A quiet and peaceful stay at a beautiful resort”
Breakfast was great. It was simple continental but it did the job nicely and kept us satisfied. There was a morning where we went dolphin watching super early and they packed breakfast for us thoughtfully.

“I would go back to Amarela on my next Bohol trip”
Everything…the service, the staff, the location, the food and the room. It’s quiet, relaxing place to stay. And if you want to go to Alona it’s just a short tricycle ride for just 200 pesos. I highly recommend the resort
