Nice but far from anything to do.
Posted 17 May 2019 on HotelsThe hotel itself is nice for the price, aircon works great and clean with nice staff.
However, the location isnt walking distance to anything (not even a place to get water/snacks), so you have to hail a tricycle on the road to go anywhere. 300P to alona beach where there is things to do.
Internet was 10 - MBPs, and GLOBE Cell service is great there.
so if you have your own motorbike (rental) or driver service its a good budget hotel.

Staff was very friendly. Hotel is old and we had a lot of ants in the room - especially the shower. Breakfast was like deep fried eggs. Hotel is too far away from the main area but if you rent a scooter it’s totally okay.

Quiet place at Panglao
Posted 23 May 2016 on HotelsNice place but too far from Alona Beach. Size of the room was bigger than expected.
No restaurants around so visitors need some kind of transport to do anything they like unless they hang out by the pool all day long.

Neat Little Resort
Posted 16 Feb 2016 on HotelsThe room is spacious and clean. Staff is always very helpful and friendly. However, i wish they would change the shower rod in the bathroom which is rusty. The pool was refreshing for a quick dip if you dont feel like going out. Location is 10mins by tricycle to Alona Beach, 20mins walk to Dumaluan Beach, which is much quieter and cleaner than Alona. The only nearest food place is Binalot which is a local restaurant just next door to the hotel, surprisingly good local food although it always looks empty. The fried banana fritters was nice. I would recommend going to DBA Grill (local hawker on the beach) just right next to Dumaluan Beach Resort for tasty grilled seafood, very reasonable pricing compared to all those resort food on that beach. Stay here if you want some peace and quiet from Alona Beach and dont mind taking the tricyle to Alona Beach.
by Felix from Beside a busy road, which I think is good, since it's easy to get tricycles and habal-habals. Trafic noise is very manageable.
Nice affordable place to stay
Posted 26 Jan 2016 on HotelsWe paid 27€/night and I think this was quite good value. Location was a bit remote with most services situated in Alona Beach where you will need to take a ride (about 40 pesos) though we rather liked it this way rather then being right in the hustle and bustle. The place could really use a couple of sun beds since there aren't any. Service was extremely kind and helpful.
If you don't mind the location and the lack of sun beds I would definitely recommend.

Deteriorado y MUY ruidoso
Posted 3 Jan 2019 on HotelsHotel con pretensiones, intentan cuidar los detalles, quizá en la media de la isla, pero las instalaciones están muy deterioradas, hay hormigas por todas partes, es bastante sucio y lo peor, muy ruidoso. Todas las habitaciones dan a la piscina central (pequeña pero limpia) y a las zonas de paso, eso quiere decir que desde primera hora de la mañana (6h) escuchas las voces que dan los trabajadores del hotel y otros huéspedes. Desayuno incluido, pero muy escaso ....plato a elegir que se suele basar en huevos, arroz y bacon, pollo o salchicha + café. Está situado a 10 min en moto o triciclo (así llaman a los TukTuk en la isla) de Alona Beach y de White Beach (ambas playas en direcciones contratias). Deberás alquilar una moto (es la mejor opción, 600 pesos por día) o moverte en taxi triciclo (100 pesos a cualquiera de las dos playas)....andando está todo alejado. Personal amable, pero no repetiría una segunda vez.

Missed chance
Posted 17 Aug 2016
Pros: The place looks very nice overall from outside. The garden style is very pretty. Mostly relaxed staff and friendly atmosphere.
Cons: Food services.
Direct route/road to beach, it's just 200 meters away directly, but you need to go long route (2km) if you want beach.
Location: Location is a bit distant from Alona beach, which is mostly tourist trap. Dumaluan beach is closer, but you need to pay to enter the dirty beach.
Not all went very smooth, but that's life. I hope they have fixed the problems with expedia about the matters. For short, do not expect cooking utensils in family room if they still advertise as such. Staff was nice to help with issues we had and overall stay was pleasant. Problem is that there's no place to eat if you're vegetarian, closest place is near-by (1000meters) restaurant in a way to Dumaluan beach around with limited menu. The fast-food joint next to Natsu offers food only for meat eaters, you can get rice+egg in case of urgent need for protein from it anyhow. Or go and eat at Alona beach, but then it's already wiser to book closer from Alona beach to save travel expenses. Rooms had slight problems with friendly ants, those did not bother too much but some might find them rather unpleasant guests. price:quality ratio is still ok, but I would not book again just because of my diet. For short: Vegetarians and such avoid, and for rest of humanity: might be good place to book in. Just improving breakfast menu would do magic.

Fint til prisen, men ærgelig misforståelse
Posted 29 Apr 2016 on HotelsOkay hotel med fin pool og fine værelser. Hoteller ligger 3-4 km fra Alona Beach, og det er nemt at tage dertil med tricycle for 100peso eller for 30peso pr person bagpå en motorcykel/scooter. Servicen på hotellet var ok - dog med enkelte mangler. For det første var der ikke noget toiletpapir elle sæbe på værelset. Det var ikke så slemt, og personalet skaffede det til os indenfor en time. Det største problem var, at hotellet bestilte en tricycle til færgehavnen uden at vi havde bedt dem om det (vi understregede at vi selv skaffede en). Det betød, at der var 2 tricycles, der ventede på os om morgenen, og vi stod derfor i en møgsiturarion, da begge chauffører var stået tidligt op kun for at hente os. Vi valgte selfølgelig at køre med ham, vi selv havde lavet en aftale med, men det var ærgerligt for ham, som hotellet havde bestilt til os (uden vi havde bedt om det). Den slags misforståelser bør ikke ske.
