Bohol Sunside Resort And - Panglao

A few problems but still worth the stay. The room (Apartment) was missing some items that were advertised when booking (no toiletries, tea/coffee, sofa, CD/DVD player) and the cable TV service has a very limited selection, but overall I'd stay here again and will recommend to anyway who asks. We realy liked the bar/restaurant and found the prices to be not too high and the food was great.

My friends and I stayed in this budget friendly place for 4 days during our visit in bohol for a vacation. It's location is very near to the Panglao airport. They also have an airport transfer with an additional charge of P600 one way. The place is cozy with two (2) swimming pool and a restaurant which serves a very delicious meal at a moderate price. They also have an e trike for rent which you could use for your tour good for 2 3 pax. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. I also met their dog named Jane. She's very nice to us and likes to be with us. Overall, I like it here.

The pool is dangerously dirty and never cleaned except to pick out leaves. There is thick green slime on both sides of the pool walls. On one particular day, I happened to be in most of the day. We did have a gentle knock on our door at midday and when we opened the door they only asked about cleaning (first time this had happened in our whole stay). We left for one hour just before 9pm and came back to find our room had been entered. They had, I assume as we were not told before or after, come in to take a mattress from a cot in our room as it had disappeared. Our dive gear had been knocked over in the process and a camera filter which had been on a nearby desk had been removed from its sealed bag but left. There was no cleaning (nor had we asked for it) so there was no reason to touch this. The main entrance has space for parking but they do not allow motorbikes to park there, which is clearly stated. However this apparently only applies to non-filipinos as the filipinos staying in the hotel rooms were never told to move their bikes during our 6 night stay there. This was particularly irritating because, firstly, my partner is physically disabled and was made to walk from the back of the resort where the bike parking was, and secondly, on multiple occasions my partner stopped there to let me off before taking the bike to the dedicated parking space and the guard would run over yelling and screaming about no parking, even though my partner was still on the bike and the other bike was right next to us abandoned. The only time the family next to us were asked to move their bike was when we said we would move ours once they moved theirs. We made attempts to complain about these things, but found that at sometimes random times throughout the afternoon and evenings, the reception was closed and locked. There was no phone to call them so we simply could not complain. The reception did give us insecticide which we appreciated as the air conditioning unit was improperly sealed and the front door had a huge gap in the bottom and so insects were getting in.

Good stay here. We stayed at the deluxe por 2 people. Pros: you can rent a motorbike (500 ph) or a car (2000ph); you can do laundry; it is mostly quite; it has an excellent pool; it has a restaurant and a bar; they make the bed everyday; kid-friendly; grass very well maintained; receptionist was helpfull. Cons: there is a dog who barks a lot; we had ants in the bedroom; no hot water in the shower; the entrance is a bit difficult as it is full with Stones.

We stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights. Service is good. Staff are all nice. They even clean the room almost everyday and replace supplies before theybrun out like tissue rolls, hand wash and dish soaps. They also replace beddings and towels even without request during our stay. Value for money indeed. Location is just a tryk away from alona beach. There are marts and sari sari store nearby. Vast garden area. Pool is being cleaned everyday. Quiet and serene. There's a resto inside the resort also where you could order food and booze. Airport transfer service is also available upon request for a fee.
