Bantolinao hotel rooms a the Independent

"I would highly recommend staying here! I think it’s one of the best resorts I have stayed at. The ambience of the cultural heritage incorporated here very beautifully and also the staff here are very courteous. The small, thoughtful gestures by all the staff here are remarkable and memorable. I will definitely come back and hope to have the same experience. "

"Spacious and beautiful room, surroundings beautiful, staff friendly, food options amazing, views amazing, one of the best places I've stayed"

"The whole staff was welcoming and very friendly. The resort was beautiful and well cleaned. It’s beautiful and I enjoyed my time. I highly recommend this resort for anyone."

"Highly enjoyed staying in this resort. We wanted a place that is away from noise and a party atmosphere and we got it. The staff are great, room is fantastic, beach amenities are awesome (they offer kayak and gears for free). I would return again. I miss it already. Wifi can be weak at some spots, breakfast prep can be a little loud but its only for a short moment. "

"Located within the city, the resort is a perfect place for families with kids like us and we stayed for 12 days straight. It is an expansive property with 3 pools that gave us choice of where and when we go for a swim. The property is gated and secured. My 2 kids on another room could walk around safely around the property. The food is good and the daily night time entertainment is fantastic. The staff are also friendly. This place is a good base to explore the island province of Bohol. I recommend this place."

"Wonderful peaceful place that overlooks the ocean. Nice pool, good food, bar, it’s off the beaten path a bit so get a scooter. They are very accommodating for anything you need. Brought me a scooter for 500php a day. Nice little Honda. Laura who runs the place and her boyfriend are really great people. You will feel like an old friend. Reasonably priced compared to every one else around. Not necessarily a beach but access to the water for snorkeling. I spent a week and would definitely stay again. "

"Nice quiet place and the staff are very friendly and helpful!"

"Great Staff "

"It is situated nicely and tucked in a quiet neighborhood. The way it was designed the villas and rooms has walk ways and outside nature you could enjoy. The pool is a plus. The cafe and restaurant had a relaxing and quiet feel. It is a reasonable price including breakfast. Also we met a neighbor Alfred who took us a nice private tour. Good job Secret Garden Resort. Keep up the good work! When I visited Bohol again. This is a place to stay. Staff on restaurant was all wonderful and very attentive. "
