Alona Royal Palm Resort

A hidden gem. Don't be put off by the lane off the road to get to it. It's a beautiful, quaint resort with 10 bungalow style rooms, enough for 20 guests. The owner lives on site, with his family and 3 lovely dogs, and both he and all of his staff are very attentative, making our stay very personal. The food is exceptional. It is a very clean hotel providing pool and beach towels. All amenities are close at hand. Restaurants, bars, atm, motorcycles hire, laundry etc and the beach is just a short walk away. We still have 2 nights left before we move on but I would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for a quiet, peaceful stay with hustle and bustle around the virner if you want it.

From start to finish this has been an amazing stay. We arrived very early and they facilitated an early check in, advised us on which trips were good value or not, organised an amazing driver, and met every need. The rooms were extremely clean, the beds very comfortable, the food - epic! The hot stone and crème brûlée in particular. A very short walk to Alona Beach but tuktuks right outside if needed. All the staff were attentive at all times, the pool was beautiful and the gorgeous dogs added to the stay. Had to make sure we actually left to go and explore Bohol as it was so welcoming!

Siamo stati qui 3 notti durante la nostra permanenza a Panglao. Il posto ci e’ piaciuto molto, pochi alloggi ben tenuti ( sono delle piccole casette con porta finestra diretta sul giardino e la piscina) . Il personale e’ super gentile, super disponibile e super sorridente. Arrivi e ti senti subito come se fossi di casa. La struttura si trova in una zona molto tranquilla pur essendo a pochi minuti a piedi dal caotico centro dove ci sono ristoranti e locali. 7 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia di Alona ( sinceramente non e’ la spiaggia piu’ bella che ci sia) ma con pochi euro si prende il tuk tuk e ci si fa portare ovunque. L’ hotel offre supporto per organizzare vari tour e gite sull’ isola sia in formula gruppi che privata. La colazione è inclusa e non e’ a buffet ma alla carta, si sceglie la versione che si preferisce ( continetal/ american/ asiatica/ waffle..) e viene preparata al momento e sinceramente e’ super rispetto a tutti quei buffet solitamente mediocri che si trovano in giro. Che altro aggiungere, se non che e’ stato tutto perfetto, addirittura ci hanno dato la colazione al sacco per le giornate in cui le gite prevedevano levatacce notturne.
