فندق باميلاكان آيلاند باراديس (Pamilacan Island Paradise Hotel)

Very relaxing place good for couples. The food is nice and the people working at the hotel are very polite and good service. I love the sunset and sunrise.

Be aware of what you are booking. If you want to chill by a pool ordering drinks all day, this is not for you. The villa is on a rather secluded part of the island, although only 10min walk from one of the villages. The beach (the nicer one) is 5min walking away. Not worth the price unless you are more than one couple and can make the most of the villa. Meals are prepared. 300PHP per person for lunch/dinner, 200 for breakfast. The meals are quite good. dolphin watching (very recommendable) and massage are available. Transfer to Bohol or Panglao are 1500 PHP. All in all a nice place to relax but for the price there are much better places to go.

I don't really recommend this hotel, especially for a family with kids; unless for a couple to find a quiet place for relaxing. The condition is poor, compared to the price which is too high. The location of this hotel is actually not very good because it is not near the beach but at the other side. You have to engage a moto-cycle to be sent to the beach, paying ~100 peso per head. And there is no regular boat between Bohol & Pamilacan, and you have to arrange with private boat owner for the traffic. The Pamilacan Resort has better location, just beside the beach, and the price is much much cheaper; however, the condition is even poor because of no air-con at all.

The island was about 1 hour boat ride from baclayon port. It costs 3,000P round trip, but I guess there could be some negotiation. 2,000P, may be? The hotel was fine, but the air-conditioner was only available from 6pm~12pm, and it was killing me. I recommend to go swimming or snorkeling at day time to avoid hot air of the room. They prepared meals (300P/person) with chicken and fish, in Philippino style. In the hotel garden, I could easily see the chickens, which was fried at the evening :( But the taste was fantastic! You will never be disappointed. The most important thing is the island has the best beach in Bohol area. And the corals, beautiful fishes... We enjoyed snorkeling in front of hotel, in was really fantastic. I recommend this hotel for 2-nights (No less, No more) You'd better take some food such as fruits, cup noodles.

The most amazing place we saw in the Philippines!!! Where to start... The island is amazing, the boat ride is a good intro, and then you arrive on this small island, walk through the little village, it feels untouched. Then you get to the 3-bedroom villa, this place is beautiful and huuuge (can easily accomodate 7)! With a terrace over a creek, and a stone path opening out to the private beach, the proper paradise beach with all shades of blue in the water, nothing but white sand and coconut trees. The home-cooked food is greeeat, we left with the soup recipe, there's always 3 main course dishes, all freshly prepared, you have to try it!! Take a walk through the village, make sure you go see the dolphins, and go snorkeling (we saw a turtle off the private beach). There is a snorkeling sanctuary where the coral is very nice, but better for people who are not very comfortable in the water, as you have to wear life jackets, which is a bit annoying.

Good value if you have enough people to fill the 3 bedrooms but quite expensive for just one couple. Food reasonably priced, plentiful and tasty but not much variety (you need to like fish - well it is on a island after all). The tree house is falling down and therefore not available to guests which was a disappointment, as was the lack of cable TV due to the dish not working. This place needs to do a bit more maintenance instead of just letting things fall into disrepair. On the other hand there were lovely big new looking planters chairs on the balcony - nice for a drink at sundown. There is no internet access so without that and TV you really feel like you're getting away from it all.

great hidden place

nice place if you want quiet time.
