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.

Amazing staff made us feel very welcome!

The employees are very kind and authentic. They did everything to make us comfortable and they are very caring and hospitable. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. There was also a lot of hot water and great shower pressure. Beautiful view of the sea and the pool.

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

Beautiful stay with great food and friendly staff

We had a great stay! The property is beautiful, with a lovely garden, a nice pool, and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and always helpful.

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
