Wonderful, best hotel we went to on our trip to the Philippines and more”
From the service to the facilities everything was perfect. The staff was so nice and helpful, always ready to serve or help us for anything. My boyfriend asked them to organise a dinner on the beach and they made the evening so perfect. Every thing about this hotel is made with care and detail. Breakfast was really nice with choice of waffles, pancakes, omelettes fruits eggs bacon, fresh juices and shakes and more. Lunch and dinner had a variety of choice from local food to pizza and pasta, we loved it and we are very picky eaters! Rooms was very clean and comfortable and their organised day trips were great and affordable. Massage on the beach was a must They even have a little boutique where we bought some hand made dining sets because of how beautiful we thought they were at their restaurant. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and family when they will come to the Philippines and we gladly rate it a 5/5

One of the best ”
I wasn't really planning on booking Amarela resort but because of the positive reviews, I just have to let our family experience what other guests are saying about this resort. They have a complimentary airport transfer which not many resorts or hotels in Bohol would offer. The staff was VERY courteous and attentive. I made arrangements for our anniversary in advance and they did not fail me. It was very well set up, romantic and we had the beach to ourselves in a romantic set up. I could not say anything negative about the resort itself from staff to facilities (they have a volleyball area, beach bar, table tennis and darts, library and game boards which we enjoyed!) Food was superb too! If you are looking for something worth your money and you are after a silent retreat looking to de-stress, this is for you!! The place is not crowded which gives you some 'me time' I would definitely recommend Amarela and YES, I will be back!

Will stay here again”
The place is perfect for family vacation. The staff were accommodating and polite. Kudos and special thanks to Carlo (Trainee/trainer) and Ritchie (the messenger) who helped me with me problem about shipping my printer to Manila. They went out of their way to help me even if it is not part of their job. The kitchen staff were also accommodating, they even agreed to slice the mangoes that we brought to the hotel and served it nicely during our dinner. Fruto, Jessa and Joan, the front desk personels helped us in many ways. They also helped me find a place to purchase pasalubong items on the way to the airport. They really treated me and my family like royalties during our stay. Thank you so much. You can do lots of activities in the resort...read books, borrow videos, kayaking, table tennis, darts, sand castle building and snorkeling.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at Amarela. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed spending time in the dining room and library. We especially loved the hammocks on the beach!

Wonderful place”
The staff, the food and the location was excellent. The wifi signal was strong in our room and they made our stay there very comfortable. The beach was awesome and we got a good view of the ocean from our room. The cons would be that they dont allow food from outside the resort, not even fruit from a fruit stand ! Check out was at 11 and they turned off our wifi at 7 am. I felt like they were trying to rush us out. We had buffet breakfast every morning except our last day, they didn't explain why. Sometimes I ordered something from their menu and they come back to ask me to order something else because they it said it wasn't available, that was kinda annoying. I would stay here again to enjoy the beautiful beach and the peace and quiet.

Perfect location, beautiful beach, amazing food and super friendly staff”
Really pleased with the hotel. Is cute and very clean. The amenities are great and the easily accessible beach is beautiful and quiet. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food in the hotel is outstanding. The hotel is perhaps slightly expensive if compared to similar hotels elsewhere in the world but I think this is a Philippine’s problem and not the hotel’s as such.

Perfect for rest and recreation”
The room we stayed in, which was on the second floor, was spacious with a balcony overlooking a wonderful view of the beach, the garden and pool, and the sunrise. The other room we got for our parents was not as spacious but was a few steps from the pool. The property is spotlessly clean with trees and flowers everywhere. It’s more of bricks, stones, and marble, which give off a homey and relaxing vibe, much more preferable compared to modern concrete. The pool, bathroom, and facilities are well-kept and maintained. In the dining area there are great books to read with a great view of the beach and the stunning property, which is consistently eco-friendly. They offer a generous and sumptuous breakfast, which our entire family enjoyed. They have an art gallery too!

Fantastic resort”
The staff are so eager to please and literally run to you when you need help. The beach is a few meters away from the pool and there are so many activities eg ping pong, beach volleyball, snorkelling, you will want for nothing. We loved happy hour by the beach. The food was average and could do with some improvement. The beach is not a party beach and is quiet and exclusive to guests although Alona beach which has more dining options and night life is a mere $3 (Php150) trike ride away.

Wow! Such a treat for the price. Beautiful setting. ”
The staff was incredible and the gorgeous smaller setting hotel was a treat. We had stayed at another hotel on the island and ended up wishing we had stayed at Amarela the whole time. The masseuse was great and the food surpassed our expectations. If we return to Bohol, we will certainly be staying here. The price and value cannot be beat!

Relaxed days in Amarela”
Located from Alona beach around 10 minutes drive, enjoyed a lot in a quiet place! The cleanliness of the private beach is not the best but good to have a place to relax & sunbathing. Had meals in the restaurant, view was good & food as well. Resort also offered free breakfast, and the breakfast was tasty too! Staffs were friendly, helpful and polite, very impressed. Room was clean and hot shower was great too!

Very nice facilities with kind staff”
Staff are helpful and kind. We rent a scooter from the island, if you don’t drive you will need to book a car for daily activities. Or you can get on the boat directly from the hotel beach. Which Is very good experience
