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 also comes with it the convenience and comfort of staying in 5-star resorts. Most of these resorts have infinity pools which are great for photo ops, and they normally have more than one pool in the resort premises. Some of them also have private pool rooms and all-exclusive packages that you can avail of. In terms of pricing, I have provided the links of both Agoda 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. However, there are times when booking directly with the hotel is cheaper than Agoda. 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 3 offer me the lowest price per night. There are however, 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. Photos posted below are not mine and were taken from the resort's official website or from the photos they've submitted in Agoda. 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 that they offer: 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.
Budget: P7,000 to P17,000 per night per room
Package inclusion: Airport transfer, breakfast buffet, welcome drinks, access to pool, library and art gallery, Wifi access and use of water sports/activities Website: https://www.amarelaresort.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmarelaResort Number: +63-38-5029497, +63-38-5029498, +63-917-623-0557 Email: reservations@amarelaresort.com Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (as of January 2020 in Tripadvisor) See more reviews here: Tripadvisor Reviews of Amarela Resort Compare prices or book here: Henann ResortHenann Resort is located right along Alona Beach but nestled towards the end of the beach where it's less crowded and less noisy. 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).
Budget: P8,000 to P23,000 per night per room
Package inclusion: Breakfast buffet, welcome drinks, access to the resort swimming pools, Wifi access and use of gym and fitness center Website: https://www.henann.com/bohol/henannalonabeach Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/henannbohol Number: +63-917-317-0868, +63-939-927-9921, +63-38-502-9141 to 44 Email: manila.hbl@henann.com and bohol.booking@henann.com Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (as of January 2020 in Tripadvisor) See more reviews here: Tripadvisor Reviews of Henann Resort Compare prices or book here:

Eskaya Beach Resort
Eskaya Beach Resort is the most exclusive and most expensive resort in Panglao. Interestingly, its name is derived from the indigenous tribe which can be found in the hinterlands of Duero, Pilar, Sierra Bullones and Guindulman. It is located in area in Panglao called Tawala, which is somewhere in between Alona Beach and Dumuluan Beach. This resort has its own small private beach and all its rooms have their own private pools -- the cheapest and smallest of all is the Deluxe Villa. Deal Grocer used to sell a promo package for this resort but it has been removed earlier in 2019 but you can always book for slightly cheaper rates through Agoda and the resort also offers promo packages on their website, especially during lean season.

And while portions of the resort offers a panoramic view of the ocean, they also have a small private beach which is only a few steps away.

South Palms Resort
South Palms is located along Dumaluan Beach but on a very exclusive stretch beside Bohol Beach Club. Travelers have several room choices such as deluxe rooms, premium rooms and villas which are either by the pool or beachfront. They have 2 swimming pools -- one by the restaurant and one by the pool villas. They offer massages by the beach and they also have a gym, basketball court, tennis court and pool table within the premises. Last time we stayed here, we got a promo on the Deluxe Pool View room for P12,409 per night, which was cheaper than Agoda at that time (February 2019) then we got our massage with 10% discount at the SMX Travel Tour Expo along with some freebies! South Palm's beachfront is white sand but the ocean is a bit rocky so don't forget to bring your aqua shoes and booties. The mango shake at Coast Pool Bar is one of the best in the island!
