“Perfect perfect perfect”
The location was a perfect 15min walk from Alona beach. Staff are very welcoming friendly and helpful in dealing with requests but also helping to book excursions and recommend activities in the area. The place was very clean and tidy. Bar and restaurant have a variety of nice options. The pool area is very peaceful with little mosquitoes. The rooms are spacious and clean with frequent changing of towels and bedding and daily housekeeping. I got a massage there too which was lovely. I loved that they also had a water refill station so that you could fill your own bottles as many times as you like. Couldn’t recommend enough!

“Overall, a beautiful and welcoming stay with excellent staff and amenities, but slightly let down by its remote location”
Scent Green Papaya Hotel in Bohol was a lovely stay overall. I really loved the place—the staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, the breakfast was delicious, and the food and bar prices were very reasonable. The pool was also well maintained, clean, and very enjoyable.

Loved it here! The pool is so nice to relax by, the staff so friendly and helpful. Bike hire very easy, and the walk into town also easy - we didn’t end up using the free shuttle. Bar extremely well priced!

“Great value, nice staff”
Pool was nice and clean, restaurant was cheap and cheerful, with better meals than you could find in most of the beach area cafes. regular shuttle to beach for free. very comfy rooms with good TV ( netflix ect ). Consistent staff policies, eg, regarding making sure people didn't smoke or vape in the restaurant, which is great if you don't appreciate someone else's stale smoke with your food.

“Nice "Standard" hotel near to the main street of Alona Beach”
Nice and clean hotel in Alona Beach. Everything was quiet fine. In the middle of the hotel was a swimming pool and the (hotel) buildings are quiet modern. We were happy to stay here. Important to mention: the hotel offers each hour a ride (and later a pick-up) to the beach. Thanks for this!

“Home away from home! Fabulous relaxing holiday”
Great staff, great value for money, lovely pool. We enjoyed the breakfast and being a little away from Alona. We would happily stay here again! We booked a snorkeling trip through the hotel and really enjoyed it too!

“Hidden Jungle Escape near Alona Beach”
A peaceful, charming resort tucked away in a jungle setting in Panglao. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and a relaxed vibe make it perfect for unwinding, with easy access to nearby beaches and nature spots.
