Panglao | Where to Stay
|
|
For those who would like to stay in luxury resorts in Panglao, I have created a list of the premium accommodations offered in the island which are highly rated and recommended by previous guests. Obviously, the prices would be higher but it comes with it the convenience and comfort of staying in 5-star resorts. In terms of pricing, I have provided the links of Agoda, Booking.com as well as the official website of the resort where you can book. Based on my experience and the researches I do before booking, I find that Agoda offers the cheapest rates across most hotel booking websites, followed by Booking.com. However, there are times when booking directly with the hotel is cheaper than these third party booking apps. So as I've always mentioned here in my website, it pays to do some research to compare rates before you book. Three (3) things I do before booking:
And then, of course, I would book through which of these choices offers me the best price. I don't always choose the lowest price because there are still other things to consider such as whether the rate includes free airport transfer or free breakfast. Sometimes, the other option is cheaper only because it doesn't have these perks so you just have to weigh each one and go with the option which gives you the best value. So here is a list of the best luxury resorts in Panglao which you can choose from, along with the necessary links to compare prices and other necessary information that will help with your decision. In case there are luxury hotels which you think I might have missed to include, don't hesitate to contact me using this contact form. Photos posted below are not mine and were taken from the resort's official website or from the photos they've submitted in Agoda/Booking.com. Amarela ResortAmarela Resort is located along Libaong White Beach and is further away from Alona, which gives you a little more privacy and serenity. They have different kinds of rooms: Superior Room, Deluxe Queen, Deluxe Twin and their specialty rooms (Antequera, Samia and Amarela). They also have Bohol House which has its own private pool and can accommodate up to 4 guests. The resort however, is not actively selling this type of room as of now (2019) due to the noise coming from the construction of the adjacent resort. The resort does not have a lot of guests based on the few days I've stayed there so it's really nice and quiet. They also have a mini-bar by the beach where you can order fruit shakes and cocktails. From pictures, they might also seem far away from the beach but the ocean is actually just a 2-minute walk down an exclusive pathway.

The resort stands on a 6.5-hectare property with 3 swimming pools, cafe and beach club, pool bars, spa, gym and fitness center, mini souvenir shop and a 120-meter beachfront. Although I would say the beachfront is not private and will be shared by other travelers in Alona Beach. And normally, the beach fronting Henann is where most people would swim because it's the only place with no boats parked. Breakfast buffet and access to resort facilities are free but airport transfer will be an additional charge. Guests will have to pay P400 per way good for 1-2 persons and P200 per pax for the third person onwards (prices as of September 2019).
