awesome view, especially at the Rooftop”

my friend and i were stay for 3D2N at the hotel and it located on south-west of Panglao Island (Danao beach). At first, we arrived bohol island and took a Countryside Tour, after that the guide took us to the hotel, and that was surprise us because you definitely couldn't find it yourself. you had to cross over some tortuous and complicated road about 10 mins by car (motorbike also). However, the view was quite amazing, and it was very convenient to go to the Bailcasag Island for some diving trips, all you had to do just pick up your things and went down to the beach, then the boat would pick you up out of the hotel beach and vice versa. Since we had rent a motorbike, so it took 10-15 mins for us to go to the Alona Beach, and the staff told us that there was shuttle transfer to Alona too, 50 peso @ person (i didn't ask how to return). Except the location, there were great view, nice staff, good service and wonderful breakfast. if the price remind the same, i will probably return.

Excellent friendly service but the hotel needs improvement”

The hotel provided quality, personalized and friendly service but the hotel building need some improvements. For the money though, you're getting your bang for the buck. But then again, you get what you pay for. My first visit to the Philippines was over 2 years ago when the best resorts were the old strip on Alona Beach and which is why I chose this hotel that was fairly new, aesthetically pleasing, close to the dive shop we were booked with (Sinchun Divers) and what I thought was good for the price (relative to the older resorts on Alona Beach). I was shocked to find Bohol Island very developed since my last visit with improved streets and an awesome new resort called Hennan. Which by the way, (Hennan) is a great bargain to have a 5 star hotel for only $109 p/night. Had I known Bohol was this developed with brand new resorts at a fraction price what you'd pay in California, I would've booked it! South Beach Hotel is still good for the price. If you're looking for a clean place to sleep with decent service and don't need the amenities of a resort, this place is good for you. PROS: 1) You receive personalized service because this is a small hotel with only 8 rooms. It almost feels like a beach condo with hotel service. 2) Employees are very nice and friendly and their efforts to service you is so courteous enough to make you feel guilty. 3) The building is constantly being cleaned. 4) location to the beach and beach view 5) free shuttle service to Alona Beach 6) Good aesthetic. 7) you definitely get the bang for the buck. CONS: 1) water pressure in the building is bad. Didn't like standing in the shower with shampoo in your hair. 2) building construction is below standard. The structural and foundational built is weak (cracks in the walls and loose floor tiles) but the hotel invested on aesthetics. 3) other than their breakfast, their food and drinks are pretty bad. Don't expect a decent cocktail. 4) shower drain is bad

Great hotel, but even better employees!”

I can't say enough good things about the staff at Bohol South Beach Hotel. They made our stay special from the moment we checked in. We were leaving really early in the morning and since we couldn't stay for the breakfast included in our room rate, they offered to pack us lunch to go, which was really helpful and delicious. They were having their Christmas party that night and the restaurant was closing early, but the staff offered to accommodate us and served us dinner on a different level just before the restaurant officially closed. We tried not to inconvenience them, but they insisted it wasn't an inconvenience at all and were so kind. Lastly, our arranged ride didn't show up early in the morning and Nineao was so helpful. He really saved our trip on the boat and we are very grateful for his help and hospitality. It's a beautiful location and the rooms are really nice, but the staff are what makes the difference. We really are so happy we stayed here!

Personalized, Quiet, Great Accommodations”

We really enjoyed staying here, very quiet hotel and beach. Great hotel with only 12 rooms. The owner, and all of her staff were very friendly and nice. Free shuttle multiple times daily to Alona Beach 5-10 min drive. If you want a private location, yet want to visit Alona, and tour Panglao and Bohol, I would highly recommend Bohol South Beach.

Nice place with great ocean view and accommodating and honest crews”

Nice place - check. It's given. Great ocean view - check again. No words. It's given. Really what you see in the pictures is what you get. What most commendable in this hotel is the accommodating and honest crews. I forgot my charger in my room upon check out. I just remembered it when I was already in Manila. Good thing the housekeepers still kept it. I had a chance to ask my friend who was still there to get it for me. BONUS: Even though I am a solo traveler, the hotel still gave me breakfast for two since the room I booked is for two pax. I will go back again here in Bohol South Beach Hotel.

Tranquil Romantic Refuge, clean and comfy”

We spent one night here but were sorry we hadnt more time. There is a lovely relaxed vibe and the staff are very attentive. our room had a sea facing floor to ceiling glass window which gave a panoramic ocean view and you are steps from the sand. ok the room was not very big but we had all we needed, and everything was spotless. Free hot breakfast was nice, and the kitchen does snacks as well tho there isnt a full restaurant. We availed of the shuttle bus into Alona 5 minutes away the evening we arrived and ate there and had a stroll around the bars. It made us appreciate the peace of Bohol South Beach all the more!

very nice stay, feels like home”

i booked the Hotel here at agoda for 4 days. unfortunatley we were in zamboanga during the siege and can´t get out of there. we was able to get out of zamboanga just a day before our check out was. we decided to go to the Hotel as we arrived in bohol. it was our check out day. we ask if there maybe is a possibility to have the room for the next two days without any other payment cause of our Situation not getting out of zamboanga, something like a rebooking. the Lady at the reception told us she has to ask the owner of the Hotel if it is possible. cause she can´t decide. but we can use the room first. after some time she came up and inform us that the owner allowed us to stay for the next 2 days without any addional payment! which was really great and i think not possible in other Hotels cause we wasn´t there to our check in. Thank you again! we really really appreciate it. some things about the Hotel: the Hotel is new and the rooms are very good. the bed is big and very very comfortable. one of the best beds i ever slept in. the bathroom is a bit small but for me still good. the balcony overlooking the pool and the beach is also very nice. the pool is great. the staff is very helpfull and nice also. the Hotel is a bit away from alona beach but the Hotel has an own shuttle Service. we used it everytime when we wanted to go to alona beach. we didn´t try the Food in the Hotel so i can´t say something about it. i really recommend the Hotel if it is no Problem for you that you are not at alona beach .

Exceptional”

The hotel even though a small scale hotel was very nice. Some bathroom fixtures appeared old but overall we were very happy with our room. Appreciated the balcony with the view of the pool! We were pleasantly surprised to find a laptop and a (shower) speaker included in our room. However, none of the hotel's wifi access worked during our two days there, considering our prime location (near the beach pool bar which was one access point for wifi). Our phones could not connect and the hotel-provided laptop was able to connect for maybe under an hour only during our whole stay. Loved the warm temperature of your swimming pool!! It's one thing I always look for in hotels. Beautiful garden/cabana area. Rooftop location of the restaurant was excellent. Shuttle service to Panglao, although we never availed of it, is a definite plus point.

Very good boutique resort hotel”

Very relaxing hotel to stay at. Will definitely stay at Bohol South Beach the next time we go to Panglao.

Value for Money”

This hotel is small and can accomodate few guests only which for me is good because you’ll have your privacy and it’s not too crowded. Value for money because it’s not that expensive unlike other hotels but it’ll give you a comfortable and pleasant stay. I loved the pool outside and the wifi connection was very strong. I had the standard room which was a pretty decent room for me since i am a solo traveler. There is a free use of laptop as well. Staffs are very nice, they’re very approachable. The location of this hotel for me is very nice because you are somewhat isolated from the crowd of Alona beach area. But it will just take you a 5 minutes drive from Alona. They also providing a free shuttle going to Alona beach that have multiple trips throughout the day. You can also rent motorbike if you want to go around Panglao by yourself. I only want to recommend that they should have a strong water pressure in the bathroom. Over all my stay was really amazing.

Great hotel with amazing staff”

Me and my wife booked 2 nights then decided to stay 2 more, overall we would definitely recommend it. The breakfast was really good and tasty, especially we liked the fresh mango juice. The staff was helpful and super friendly. The room was very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Although it's a bit far from Alona beach it wasn't a big deal at all, we got ourselves a scooter from the hotel for 2 days and there's also a free shuttle service that runs 5 times a day to and from Alona beach. The only problem we had was with the low pressure water in the shower and hot water didn't last long.

Very Nice Place to Relax”

We booked the room near the pool, the room is big, free access to their laptop, really strong wi-fi connection. The pool is super clear, they made sure it is cleaned everyday. Restaurants and stores are walking distance from the hotel, not a lot of variety though. Alona Beach is far if you want to go to nice restaurants and they provide shuttle service scheduled every 3hrs interval which is not too bad. Girls at the reception are great, breakfast is okay if you are not very choosy. Overall, if you're looking for a quite place to relax, swim, sun bathing, island hopping, I'd recommend this place. I'd rather stay here than going to a crowded Alona beach. Thumbs Up!

Paradise”

This hotel was superb. The staff were really great and the price was so reasonable. They will take care of all you activities and at a cheaper price than you can find on your own. We booked the countryside tour and island hoping through them. They have motorcycle rental as cheap as you can find on the island. We spent seven days with them and loved every minute of it. If you are a honeymooner this is the place for you very romantic all light up with candles at night. You cannot find a better place on the island and the price is just right. Marshall & Lucelle

Our verdict :)”

We booked on a Budget room for 3days and 2 nights . I am very surprised that its a budget friendly with a nice and pleasing . Wifi connection was good . With free used of laptop in the room . With regards to the bathroom it was also clean however no bidet 😅 In their pool - it has only 1 small pool and it was also clean Hotel was Beach front however you cannot swim because that water are far enough. And you need to go to alona beach if you want to swim They have also free shuttle from hotel to alona beach. Staffs are accommodating and friendly. Overall it was a good experienced . 😊

laptops provided”

my eldest was so amused that laptops were provided in each room and that the wifi connection was reliably good. when asked where he wants to book the next time we want reservations, he always say bohol south beach! we'll be back when our youngest gets a little older

Excellent”

I traveled here with my wife from the Philippines, and we enjoyed our stay at South Beach Hotel. It has great access to the beach, and they run a shuttle many times per day dropping guests off at Alona Beach which is just 5 minutes away. I recommend eating a few times at Alona Beach at Sea Breeze Café which is part of Hanann Resort because they have an awesome buffet with everything you can dream up to eat.

Exceptional”

this is the best place to stay in panglao. they have a private beach and pool. they also have a free shuttle going to and from panglao. we had a great stay, we hoped we had extended our stay but unfortunately they dont have a vacant room. great value for money

high quality accommodation right on a quiet beach”

The high quality of the room, quiet location and the helpful staff made this a worthwhile trip for 3 nights in bohol. The location is about a 15 minute drive from alona beach which means you have to use the free shuttle at certain (limited) times, pay at other time or hire a bicycle or motor bike. Apart from breakfast, which was ok the restaurant serves simple filipino food. This is only a problem when you cant get out because of the rain so have no choice but to eat there. The hotel does not have a generator either which meant that we had our simple filipino food by candle light. Still, the staff were great and the beach location and pool were excellent. The beach is no good for swimming though (if that's what you like to do)

Value for money”

Our stay with the hotel was excellent. We arrived early in the mornng and the staff accommodated us. They are all very friendly and quickly responds to requests. Its nice even though the hotel is small i think 8 rooms. The stay was very nice. Food is not pricey. But lacks the variety. Breakfast was also good. We did not have a problem with the hotel location because we have a rented car. But they have service to and from alona beach which is very nice. Highly recommended.

Cozy and comfortable”

Room is cosy,comfortable and nice,dont have much space for my stuffs and no bed side table but thats not a big issue,the bathroom is really nice ,theres a strong pressure of water in the shower,breakfast is quiet ok, the staffs are accomodating and approachable,I highly recommend this place if you want a peaceful and quiet place,its front of the beach but no body swim there because of rocky,its 5 minutes ride of tricycle to Alona beach but they have service for free every 3hrs. to drop and pick you up in Alona beach,i definitely back in this hotel if theres a chance. Theres strong wifi in room.
