Bantolinao hotel rooms a the Independent

"Friendly and helpful staff. "

"We found exactly what we are looking for at Villa Umi. Beachfront and tranquility were achieved. We are extremely thankful to all the staff, they are very friendly and warm. We enjoyed the sunrise for 2 days, and all resorts (neighbor) are walkable if you want to see some crowds and try other foods and check other souvenirs or activities. Again, Villa Umi is kinda private and quiet, so if you want to avoid crowds, this is the exact hotel you want to stay. Also, they said its not the peak season, so we're good. In addition, They don't have private drive, you will share entrance with other guests entering Dumaluan beach resort/ pavilions, it's only a 3 to 4 min walk to Villa Umi. It's not a big issue at all, the staff carried all our luggage to the hotel. For all activites, you just need to ask the staff at front desk, we did our private tour around Bohol (like zipline, Loboc cruise, Tarsier viewing, Chocolate Hills) first before we checked in, so our 2nd day is all about the sea, sunrise viewing, swimming, snorkeling, walk, eat, take pictures, sleep. "

"Staff was great and very friendly especially Julielyn who remembered our omelette orders. It was so easy to book a massage and a day tour at the front desk with Alex. We even used the gym and the pool and ate at the bar lounge. "

"We stayed at South Palms, now Oceanica, 8 years ago and enjoyed our stay then and still loved the place. Every staff were friendly and professional and were always willing to assist no matter what it was we needed. Due to the paying public being allowed access during the day, it was busier than normal. However, it wasn’t a deterrent for us enjoying ourselves. The location is amazing with long stretch of white sand beach for everyone to enjoy! Definitely will be returning to this place when we visit Bohol. "

"We loved the place very spacious. So relaxing and easy access going to alona beach. "

"Nice staff. Pretty room and pool. In the middle of nowhere really. Nothing in the area. Restaurant nice but limited. "

"Food was inedible except for breakfast and many items not available on menu. Staff where good. Just eat at other restaurants "

"Everything about this place is beautiful and the staff are very friendly and welcoming to us. Our Presidential Suite was the best place to be and we were very impressed. Room is very clean, roomy and very well maintained."

"We always stay in this hotel due to its location and value. The free breakfast is always a plus."
