Peaceful relaxing hotel
Pool, close to beach area, restaurants and bars close by
9.7
The fact that the Regents Park hotel is not on the beach brings the price of this quality hotel down. The beach is literally a five to ten minute walk from the hotel via many restaurants and shops so it is not inaccessible by any means. Actually I found Panglao beach a little disappointing. Yes it was white sand and turquoise waters, but it was cluttered with bangkas, which I understand are a necessity for the tourist trade, but they ruin the view. The walk along the beach is also cluttered with eateries and bars and street sellers and I found it to be quite claustrophobic.
In contrast to this, the hotel was peaceful and a pleasure to stay at which was good for me as I wasn’t keen on being at the beach all day long. I was lucky enough to have a room in the main building which overlooked the pool area. There is an additional building on the other side of the road. I have no idea what the rooms are like in there, but it looked quite segregated from the main hotel and you would have to walk through the reception and the restaurant to use the pool.
The prices for food, drinks and massages were reasonable and the service was fantastic. There is also a gym on site, though I didn’t use it. The staff were friendly and the hotel is run by Englishmen which means they understand what would be wanted or needed by westerners on their travels.
Wi-Fi is widely available but not in the hotel rooms which I found strange. I would also advise against booking tours and taxis through the hotel as the same tours are available by sellers on the beach for much less. I also agree with other reviewers that they could do with more sun loungers by the pool. I decided to spend one day by the pool and wasn’t able to get a lounger all day long which was frustrating! But despite my very few gripes, I had a wonderful time at this hotel and highly recommend it to anybody thinking of staying in Panglao.

Noisy place, salt water from tab, not relaxing
3.7
This hotel is located at the main road, therefore very noisy from 6am to 9am when a lot of vehicle passed by. The room is very bright from 6am onwards and cannot sleep well. The door has big gaps that allow sound from outside to enter the room thus the room will be noisy if anyone talk outside, or vehicle pass by. You can hear it very loud. The bathroom water is not clean, it is salt water. After using a few days, your skin will become dry and damage. Checkout at 11am which is ridicules. Normally checkout is 12pm. It is near the beach, but there is no access to the beach due to another resort is beachfront and u cannot enter the resort. You need to walk one big round to beach. TV signal always lost and the channel is blur. Low cell phone signal

The hotel room was fairly small and without much facilities inside the room. The shower room has no door panel to prevent water splashed onto other area of the bathroom. No proper towel given except for the disposable towel which was kind of thin to use.
