Neat hotel and attentive staff
9.3
I liked this hotel although there were some drawbacks. Neat rooms, attentive staff, nice meal (not for people who like buffet restaurant), for divers there're new equipment and cost of diving were chipper than it was on Alona. Price for people who hasn't license is php or if you've license. But it's chipper to buy excursions on the Alona beach. The hotel is very calm, not crowded. But is it plus or drawback depends on you. About minus: bad location and ants in the room, but ants didn't put inconvenience. About location: to Alona it's 25 minutes by walking, but the road is very bad and there were not wishes to walk in the evening so we decided to rent a motobike so we could came back to the hotel any time we liked. The price for renting were php per day. Also there were free transfer to the airport or ferry and every day were free shuttle to the beach
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
You must go for diving to Balicasag. It's unforgettable emotion!!!!

beautiful hotel
lovely interiors, great rooms and exceptional service
9.7
After a long day of touring bohol, we were anxious to get to our hotel. At first, we were nervous about the dirt road going to the hotel but when we arrive, it turned out that it was worth it! it has beautiful interiors and our loft style rooms are luxurious. They also have a restaurant where we ate all our meals and we always gave our compliments to the chef as it was the best food we ever had on our trip. But what we love the most is the exceptional service of the staff and their friendliness. Overall, one of the most relaxing hotels we've ever stayed at.
Travel tip:
Explore the beach front during lowtide to see an abundance of starfishes and other marine life.

New Stylish hotel but poor location
Great design, good food and service
8.3
The hotel is almost brand new and the staff is helpful. They offer free transportation from/to airport/seaport. It took about 35 mins driving from the airport to the hotel which is a little bit far away from Alona beach. There is a small path to Alona beach and it took 20 mins to walk there. The food in the restaurant was quite impressive. The only concern was that they did not service my room during my stay.

Far from the road but nice hotel
7.3
Even though the road going to hotel is long and narrow frm the main road the view and ambiance of the hotel is very great.. Its obvious that dive thru is a new resort in panglao. The staff is very accommodating and always wears a smile... We just noticed that the rooms or the sheets used was not that clean.. The smell is not so good. And the very heavy bed sheet cover smells bad which we thought were not yet been wash for a long time.

Far from the action at the end of a very windy, bumpy road. Maybe good for a group of beginner scuba divers to do basic courses, limited options for very experienced divers unless you are a group. No beach.

Great place for relaxing with wonderful service
The design, the service, the food
10
A wonderful place far from the crowds in Panglao Bohol. Perfect for relaxing. The service is fantastic. Very professional and always with a smile. The food is great too - 5 star cuisine in the middle of nowhere. Although the bathrooms are small, the whole place is so clean.

A hidden gem !
Service of the resort is awesome !
9.3
unlike some other places calling themselves resort just in name, dive thru scuba resort really was a resort ! the service was excellent ! there was free pick up from the seaport to the hotel on the day you arrive and depart arrange for you ! the staff were all very friendly and always smiling ! one of the best things was the tour they provided. for a pretty decent amount, we got a brand new van just for the 2 of us for the whole day ! besides they have a very cool diving training pool !

Great service but remote location
Nice resort with good service.
7.7
this resort is great. the staff has contact us in advance to arrange the seaport pickup. whenever i have any inquiries, the staff will reply me in a short time.
the breakfast is great. if you need to leave the resort early, they can pack a breakfast box for you. it is great because most tourist need to get up early for dolphin watching in bohol. set dinner is delicious.
however, the location is really remote and you will be in trouble if you wanna spend much time in the alona beach.

Perfect Hotel for Divers
a quiet, tucked away hotel that is perfect for divers and close to nightlife
8
If you want to dive Bohol, this is a fantastic place to stay. The dive shop is literally next door to your hotel room. Rooms are spacious and clean, hotel staff is friendly and helpful, and the price includes a nice breakfast. If you are not a diver, but want a place that is tucked away from the main beach strip, this is also a good locale. You are on the beach, but around the bend from the restaurants and other hotels located on Alona Beach. If you want to go into "town," the hotel offers shuttle service for a small fee. Last returning shuttle is at 10pm, but you can also hire a taxi to take you back to the hotel.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
If you are not a diver and want to only explore Alona's nightlife and many restaurants, you might want to consider staying within walking distance of the beach.
The hotel is also able to arrange day trips for a small, reasonable fee. We were able to visit the Chocolate Hills and Tarsier preserve and see some of the other island sights.
