A Hidden Secret”

After looking for many days and countless hours for an ideal spot on Panglao for a restful and fun honeymoon, I settled on Bohol Sunside Resort (BSR). The big draw for me was the centralized location, near Alona Beach, while also offering the privacy and seclusion of an exclusive resort. Beyond that, I was excited to stay at a place that offered everything just outside the door to my room, e.g. pool, restaurant, and motorbike rentals. Peter, the owner, and his staff have created an awesome resort...from the layout, to the offerings, to the maintenance, this place is the real deal. My wife and I made it a goal of our time in Bohol to check out many other resorts and hotels. Hotel after hotel, resort after resort, we grew in excitement and thankfulness for how good Bohol Sunside Resort is. No where else will you find a resort so spacious, so quiet, so secluded, so unique, and so comfortable. At every other resort it feels like no one wants to see other people or to talk, even when passing by, at the bar, or in the pool. At BSR thought it always felt like someone wanted a conversation, wanted to share a story, or wanted to help you experience something really cool. My wife and I loved that about BSR. The motorbike rental was ideal! My wife and I loved the freedom having a motorbike provided by cruising all over Panglao, we literally covered every kilometer of road, and went to every resort/beach we were allowed into. Please take advantage of this, it beats waiting around for taxis, sidecars, or waiting for someone else to choose your adventure. Overall, we had a great experience and found Bohol Sunside Resort to have little competition for the overall value it provided to us. Thanks Peter and team!

Perfect place to enjoy Bohol!”

My family and I chose Bohol Sunside Resort based on the many good reviews and we were not disappointed! First of all, the resort is clean and quiet. The hotel staff, especially Maya at the front desk, were all extremely friendly, helpful, and responsive to our needs and really made our stay pleasant. The facilities were simple but clean and nice, and my son especially enjoyed splashing around in the pool and the jacuzzi. Although Bohol Sunside Resort is not beachfront, it is only about 2 km (5 min by motorbike/trike) from Alona Beach and about 10 minutes from Dumaluan Beach - in my family's opinion, the nicest beach we went to in Panglao Island. We booked an apartment room with kitchen area and we cooked ourselves dinner 1-2 nights - with locally purchased fresh shrimp and other ingredients! Overall a very nice place to stay and we will definitely stay there again if we're back in Panglao.

An absolute gem in Panglao Island!!!”

Bohol Sunside Resort is absolutely wonderful! We booked this hotel on Agoda for two nights and ended up staying for 17 days. The grounds are immaculate and the rooms are large with a very nice bathroom and shower. The rooms also include a motorbike which makes it easy to explore the island. We felt this place had the best value on Panglao...highly recommend staying here. The staff made us feel right at home... many thanks to Peter, Margrit and Flo.

I highly recommend this hotel”

Our staying at Bohol Sunside Resort was really nice, we originaly planned to stay only 3 days and finaly decided to stay 9 days. The staff was friendly and helpful, the free motorbikes allow to save a lot of money, the hotel is in a really quiet and peaceful environment ... it was a pleasure to stay there and we highly recommend this hotel to any person who's looking to spend few days on Panglao Island.

Happy holidays ”

We had a great time at the Sunside resort. Everything was perfect. - Clean room, swimming pool, friendly staff, owner, especially the garden is so beautiful, elaborate, cozy. I think the food of bar is better than other restaurants. Location is only 5 minutes away from Alona beach by tricycle. Overall, Sunside is homely and peaceful atmosphere. We'll absolutely be staying here the next time we visit Bohol. Highly recommend :)

Very nice place to stay ”

It is one of the best places , I have been in Philippines. Quiet , but only a few minutes away from the night life :) We extended our stay here up to 12 days , enjoyed every day of our holidays at Bohol Sunside Resort. The swimming pool is very nice , garden really clean , rooms all very clean and in very good condition . Thanks Peter :)

Nice resort. Clean rooms, nice pool, motorbike.”

i like the stay there very much. the owners are a friendly german couple and everything is clean and well organized. it is not directly at the beach, but the motorbike is included in prize, making it very easy to go to the beach (5 min with the motorbike) and also have some other tours around panglao or even bohol main island. only one minor issue is that the deluxe room does not have tv. anyhow that is no big issue if you stay just for couple of days. anyhow you have enough other things to do another plus is also the free wifi that work also in the room. my summary: i like it a lot and will stay there again during my next bohol trip.

Excellent budget resort like 4 star hotel”

I really enjoyed my 3 nights stay. My 10-yr old kid and me like the privateness of this resort and the pool very much. Many neighbouring room guests could blend well together by sharing a boat for island hopping and snorkelling, chatting outside the room, or even eating out together and going round the island on motorbike. Owner Peter is super-friendly and all services provided were at reasonable price. The room rates are at budget range but the facilities and amenities are like 4 star hotel. With 4 apartments with attached kitchen and 5 normal hotel rooms, this 9-room only resort provided excellent environment for me to relax and enjoy. The pool is big/deep with a nice jaccuzi. Unbeatable to spend the sunny day there. The best exceptional service is the free motorbike rental (P300 as one-time fee per stay)which provides exactly the convenience I need to go around the little island and commute to the nearby Alona beach and restaurants. Very nice and thick towels everyday. European standard bathroom and room furniture. A lot of table, rack and storage to spread my stuff. Very nice security mechanism including 2 big dogs and a door guard. I will definitely come back and try to book the apartment with kitchen next time. I highly recommend any traveller to stay there if you know how to ride a bike. Not staying near the beach and the crowd was my best decision. This place is really value for money.

A GOOD LOCATION FOR TRAVELLING AROUND PANGLAO”

When we arrived there the German couple are very warmth in welcoming us. what is nice with them also is that its very easy to negotiate with them. one of the example is the motorbike that they have allowed us to used for more than a week. it only cost 300 pesos for our whole stay in the resort. it's really a good alternative for negotiating motorbikes everyday to rent. and you can also save more if you plan to visit some tourist destinations in nearby municipalities and just around panglao island. another plus point for them is that it's location which is just 5 mins. driving away from alona beach and 20 mins. walking. in our stay there we really feel the privacy. even if they don't have so much modern facilities to offer, what counts most in the location of this resort is that you can feel it that it's like a home where you can also do some stuff for holidays and you can also do more interactions as a tourist. we liked it also when they cooked the barbecue for all. in that occasion you can have encounters with different people, with different nationalities and professions also. but, i am not so sure if the price is really average for an ''eat all you can''... when it comes to the quality of what they cook, it's good. another concern that we have discover there is that most of the deluxe rooms they have don't really have that high security measure. the doors doesn't have a double lock, so there might be a tendency that burglars can get into your room easily. but they have security guard during night, at least it alleviates our worries that someone might get into our room in the middle of the night. we hope for BOHOL SUNSIDE RESORT to be more profitable in the coming months. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ACCOMMODATING JHUN & FRANK!

Wonderful Stay”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bohol Sunside, and extended our stay twice. Highly recommended, it's a great value. Clean, quiet, helpful staff, good food, short trike ride to Alona and nice pool! We will stay here again next time.

great hotel”

if i come to bohol again, i would surely stay at the Bohol Sunside again. few mins from beach on a provided motorcycle. friendly owner and his employees. great looking yard with a pool. enjoyed a whole week there.

Lovely hotel in Bohol”

This hotel was great. The owner of the hotel were very helpful. While I was doing the booking, I accidentally entered the wrong dates. When I realized my mistake, I immediately called the hotel and spoke to Peter, who was very helpful and accommodating. I thought I am going to spend extra because of that. The hotel is a big property in Panglao, it has three big swimming pools and the staffs were very accommodating. We're glad we stayed here and we'll definitely stay here if we're back in Bohol.

Very cool little resort”

Neat little resort just outside of Alona Beach, very clean and friendly staff. We booked an apartment as we are a family of 3, it was a very big/spacious room with an external kitchen and dining area; which was pretty cool. The beds were comfy and the place very clean. The room comes with a scooter, which you pay PHP300 for the entire time you are here which makes getting around super easy. The pool is a decent size and quiet deep = during the day dive schools use it which isn't too much of a problem as it is big enough to share. Peter, the owner, is a good guy. He arranged a boat to take us out to Balicasag Island etc which was a lot cheaper than the guys down on Alona Beach. And he also hired a car for us to check out some of the land attractions on Bohol Island. We had a great time and will most certainly come back and stay again

Lovely and homy hotel and friendly service ”

At first, we just booked for two nights, but then we extended for another night. Why? Because of the homy feel, clean room, confortable bed, the relaxing swimming pool & Jaguzzi beside a nice garden, and the big welcome smile from Peter and Flo. I still remember that relaxing evening that we was enjoying the jaguzzi while Peter was playing balls with Rex (his dog). we felt free and easy to enjoy ourselves in the resort area. Besides, we do really enjoy our time in Bohol with the motorbike provided. We can easily explore to anywhere we want and experience the beauty of Bohol.

Nice staff, comfortable, clean & economical”

I'm happy I stayed here. It's a 2/3 star hotel, so it was considerably economical for the price. Nice staff and owner, comfortable, clean & economical. Airport pick-up and drop off for a decent price, food was good, staff was really nice. It a ways from the beachside/main part of Bohol but motorbike rental is provided for a small price. The staff can give you a lesson on how to ride it. We had to go to the bar/restaurant to get wifi. Pools were nice. Quiet resort.

My stay was short and sweet.”

My stay in Bohol Sunside resort was good my cousin and I felt peaceful and safe in this resort though it was I think at least 2km. away from the Alona beach it was okay since it was great walking under the early morning sun to the beach and there are motor cycle available if you don't want to walk your way back to the resort.If you want a peaceful and safe resort very quiet wherein you can just sit back and relax this resort i for you.

great hotel with lovely pool”

great resort in panglao island,a little far away from the alone beach. if you can drive motorbike,you can use it for free,that will make you easily to go everywhere in the whole island. the stuff is very friendly,we feel so comfortable staying here. my little boy like the pool very much,i think i will stay here the next time.

Great Looking Resort at a Reasonable Price”

This resort is actually tucked away in a nice, quiet and cosy private location, about 10-15 mins walk to the popular and crowded Alona Beach. The resort has everything that you want if you want to simply relax there and not go out anywhere. There's a nice bar with a pool table, massage services (500php/hr), a good sized swimming pool and also nice landscaping. And the chalet rooms are well spaced out. Breakfast provided is more than adequate, with a varietal of Pinoy or Western continental breakfast, which we can choose from their standard menu. The place is very clean and well maintained and everything works in the room that we had. Water heater is hot and aircon is cold and they also have a bar fridge in the room too! They also provide motorcycle rentals from php500/day and so it's a very convenient mode of transport to tour Bohol and other attractions and many eateries and night life available at Alona beaches too. For the price that we paid, I think it's worth every penny!

Home away from home”

the best thing about this resort was the owner, lives on site of this wonderful private and cozy apartments and does anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. the place is about 1-2 km away from alona beach which means its a short mortobike ride away (motorbikes are provided by the resort)but its off the main roads so you have the feeling of solitude and seclusion. the rooms were big and the apartments had an outdoor kitchen. i will defiantly stay again on my next trip to bohol

A nice place to stay in Bohol”

Sunside is a nice well maintained resort. Alona beach is just 5 min away by tricycle. The pool is clean and the apartment we stayed in was spacious. 1. staff could be more helpful and not playing with their phone while you are talking to them. 2. Our apartment didn’t have water for our entire 4 nights stay. Even though we asked for it to be fixed, several times, at some point we just gave up. 3. Bathroom could have been cleaned better during our stay. All together, a nice place and a good experience.
