Nice facility, but far from any type of nightlife
1) the room, 2) the pool, 3) staff

Hidden charges. This hotel is far from the airport/ ferry port ( like 15 km). I didn't think it would matter because they have a hotel shuttle. They picked up up with their "hotel shuttle" and took me back to the hotel. 3 days later when I tried to schedule the shuttle to take me to the airport, they told me it would be 700 pesos. I asked them since they picked me up for free, why are they charging me now. That was when the clerk notified me that I had been charged 700 pesos for the ride, EVEN though I had not been informed of the charge nor had I signed anything authorizing or accepting the charge. According to the clerk, the shuttle is free UNLESS you book through Agoda. I have booked at least 10 different hotels throughout the Philippines and Asia through Agoda. This was the first time I have ever been made to feel like I was less of a guest because I utlilized Agoda. I ended up arranging for my own airport transportation with a service not affiliated with the hotel. It cost me 300 pesos. If the Bellevue wants to claim they are a five star hotel, then simple shuttle service to and from ports and the airport should be standard FOR ALL guests, especially given that one of the biggest disadvantages about using this hotel is the distant and remote location and If you are going to charge guests for anything, you should immediately notify them of the charge and obtain the guest's approval.

It's nice but not really 5 star. Over priced especially the drinks. Happy hour here means 20% off the drinks.The breakfast buffet not worth 1000 pesos++. Prices of excursions and activities also priced as if you were on the French Riviera iso of Bohol. Beach full with rubbish all the time.

The food and drink prices were way over priced and the food and drinks weren't even that good.

Nice, but don't come for the beach
8.3
We stayed at this hotel of the weekend, it was nice and relaxing. The hotel description was accurate: the rooms are very nice, the infinity pool is gorgeous and the staff and restaurants are great. However the following is not worthy of a 5 star:
When the hotel is only 10 or 20 percent booked, why not allow the guests to have a late checkout ( like 1 or 2 o'clock). We requested a late checkout because out departure wasn't until 3, but they declined forcing us to leave the room at 12 noon, despite the hotel being empty. This is not the behavior of a 5 star hotel.
Next, why not have a hotel shuttle? When your hotel is located in Bohol, only accessible by boat or airplane, why would you make your customers pay 700 pesos for taxis to get to your hotel. That's 1500 we would've had extra to spend at your hotel if you only had free airport/ferry transportation.
The restaurants are overpriced. In two days we spent over 15K pesos for two people,and we had breakfast included. I understand you want to be 5 star, but at the end of Bohol island there is no need to charge Manhattan prices.
Lastly, do not come to this hotel for the beach. With all due respect for the hotel, and they have a crew cleaning up the trash every day: There is a ton of plastic garbage that washes up on these shores every day. No amount of cleaning will be enough, it will need to be stopped at the source (which seems to be Cebu, and they won't).
