Alona42 Resort

The location it’s a bit far from alona beach,5-10min walk, but in the night it’s quiet took the motorbike spend around 25~50peso, next the build there have a Vanilla Sky Resort, the pizza and pasta was good

Very nice and well cared for hotel in a quiet part of Alona Beach. Very clean, comfy big bed, silent air con, quiet surrounding, fast wifi and big nice rooms. It takes only 5 Minutes to walk to the beach or the center which is more than ok and its next to a really nice italian restaurant (run by an italian). But it could be a few bucks cheaper :)

This hotel was quite nice the location is good if you want to be away from the nightlife the beach is close but a quieter area you have to walk down a bit for restaurants and bars etc. We only got bottled water the first night we were there and our room wasn't made up a couple of times I wouldn't order food in their restaurant as its really not very good. We hired a bike from them at 600 a day but it comes from another company so it might be worth looking down the road also we booked the ferry to bohol through them and reception told us it included luggage but it didn't and also their taxi to the ferry port is 400 but if you walk up the road you can get. It for 300

The rooms are spotless and are very well maintained. Fan and aircon in the room. Bottled water replaced every day. Comfortable beds. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there's a small restaurant serving drinks and food all day. The location could be considered "excellent" if you want to be away from the louder parts of Alona beach. To get to the bar & restaurant area you need to walk 10 minutes. But there are other places to eat close by. To get to the beach, you only need to walk 5 minutes to the opposite end of the beach from the main resorts. It's also quieter here and the water is less crowded. Highly recommended.

If you're an individual tourist and don't need 5 stars this is the place to be as it's really clean and comfortable. Moreover, it's located quietly (means that you need to walk 15 min to the mainroad) so that you can really calm down.

We had a fantastic stay at Alona42, everything was above our expectactions and to fair prices. You would need to scoother though to get around as the walk to the mainroad takes you around 15 min. (still ok if you want), but this makes the place really quiet and you can enjoy your holiday. Also the staff is super friendly all the time. By the way, they have the best rum&coke for just 60 Peso.

I rent an appartement and it’s perfect for two people or one person if you want to be quiet and relax. The place is amazing and the kitchen is well equipped if you d like to cook. It’s a bit far from the beach but you can rent a motorbike and go around, easy, I highly recommend this place as the price is good for what you get and it’s one of the best places I’ve stayed in in the whole Philippines.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They helped us booking a ship to Balicasag Island and renting a motorcycle. The location is just near the alona beach (less than 10 mins walk).

This place is slightly out of the main centre and as a woman travelling solo, I was at first I was a bit daunted at the location and the darkness. Do not let than put you off. I found it very easy to get about, the walk was fine and safe (use your phone light) or the tuk tuk option is easy and cheap. Room was lovely and the property itself very secure. Definitely value for money.

Room was nice and clean, the overall resort is nice, unfortunately it is located 15 minutes from the beach and if u want to go to Alona center where most of restaurants are you need to take a tricycle. the staff is overly helpful and calls the tricycle for you in less than 10 minutes.

Very clean rooms, extremely quiet air con and great water pressure in the shower. Staff is friendly and tries to assist where possible. Close walk to the beach only during daytime as there is absolutely no light and the road is rough. Staff comment: “We don’t allow our guests to use this way at night.” The complimentary breakfast is continental or Philippino. Other breakfast comes at an extra charge. Please make sure to have at least 30 minutes in spare to wait for your breakfast to be served. Although not mentioned during the booking process and not listed in the form you sign upon arrival, the hotel will charge a 4% commission for payment with credit card. Currently there is a construction site next door which starts heavy machinery (drilling) at 7:30am.

Bathrooms need extensive refurbishment. If you are below 6" tall you will be unable to see I n the mirror. Food was uninspiring although the staff were all nice n friendly. There is no swimming pool there. The beach is a 10 minute walk downhill.

Four of us (2 adults, 2 nine year old children) stayed in an apartment at Alona 42 for six nights. The one bedroom apartment was well equipped with a gas 3 burner cooktop, refrigerator , complete with dishes /cutlery for four, good quality pots and pans. Aircon in the bedroom (also a table fan), ceiling fans in both the the living room and kitchen/dining area. Very large balcony with line and clips for drying swim gear etc. Alona Beach is a 10 minute walk from the Resort but do take a flashlight if walking back from the beach if the sun has gone down. The Resort's grounds are pleasant ...grassed and treed. The staff are very helpful; there is a small roofed cafe area for breakfast and other modest meals.....breakfast can be brought to one's room. The place (and our room) is well kept up. We had an excellent stay there and recommend it.. If you want to swim in a pool, one is available at the next door resort for a charge....that resort has a full; service (Italian +) restaurant.

First off I never actually stayed here. I couldn't. I booked the hotel and they said it was full and blamed Agoda. They then tried to get me to switch to a new hotel no where near the area, 1/5th the cost that I already prepaid, and with bad reviews. interestingly didn't tell me that. but I looked it up and checked reviews before saying anything. No Way! I was incredibly pissed at the answers and the attempted slick moves. My girlfriend is a local and spoke to them for 2-3 hours. She refused to tell me what she was doing, and after all that time she said it was all set, and she ended up paying more than double the cost I already prepaid to get a place nearby that was under construction (I'm sure they didn't tell her that), and not worth the money. It was an absolute disaster all around. I'm sure they lied to her and talked her into it. Disgusting!

Nice and Clean. No hair Dryer in the room but can borrow from reception. Alona beach is 10-15mins Walk from the resort. If you dun wanna Walk there is tricycle to Alona beach with 100peso, reach in 3mins. Staffs are friendly. You can book the day tour from the resort if u want. The price is same with outside.

Quiet place to stay and relax from the busy Alona beach at night. It is close to the white beach only through a short cut which could be totally dark at night. The family room was complete with cooking utensils and cooking equipment. They even had enough bins to help segregate waste. However, not all guests were provided blankets. The blinds for the windows also needed repair. Also, it was uncomfortable to sleep at night on one of their beds because they just joined 2 single beds.

If you don't need a beach front hotel I would say this is one of the best. 5 minutes walk to the beach and the walk with all restaurant. The hotel is one of the cleanest I have seen and the room is in perfect condition. Even the shower is very good and that's not usually in Philippines. Very helpful staff and I nice little restaurant. we loved our stay here.

The ultimate pro for this resort is the staff. They are very accomodating and friendly. The resort itself is well-maintained, from the rooms to the resort grounds. The con, which depends on the traveller, is the distance to Alona beach. It is a 15-20 min walk or a 5 min-60 pesos tricycle ride. The resort has no pool but I think you can go to the resort next door and pay to use their pool.

pros - very good rooms, good aircon, the restaurant next door(vanila sky) is the best in alona's area cons - its a bit far from the beach center, about 10 min walk and you must have a flashlight at night anyway the alona beach is a bit overrated and we suggest to find a cheaper place in pangalo and rent a bike instead of insisting on location

I was here with my girlfriend and we loved it. It's minutes away from the beach and the nightlife. The aircon and fan were working perfectly and there was also the cable TV to watch international channels (not that I used it though). I strongly recommend Alona42!
