    “It can't get any better than this.”

    Donatella is the most luxurious and perfect hotel in Bohol. More than you can imagine!! The pickup van, room condition, cleanliness, amenities, private pool, natural scenery surrounding the standalone rooms, the Paprika restaurant blending with the cliff view, the walking paths, and the service are all so satisfying. I can only think of saying that everything was perfect. We booked three rooms due to the large number of family members, and all the rooms were so beautiful. I especially recommend the pool villa. You must go once; it is incomparable to other ordinary hotels. It was much larger than what I saw in the photos, and all seven of us laughed and played in the living room. I was also impressed that there was not a speck of dust in that spacious room. My mom kept saying that the ceiling, bedroom decor, chairs, and bathroom mirror were well-designed, clean, and pretty. It is an eco-friendly hotel, and each room is a standalone unit, ensuring privacy, and the swimming pool within the accommodation is larger and deeper than expected. There are lights at night, too. If you've only experienced hotel-like apartments in the past, you'll be pleasantly surprised at Donatella. The hotel is so spacious that I got a little lost at first, but I got used to it after half a day. The distance between the rooms meant I didn't even know there were other guests around. We only realized there were other people besides our family when we saw them during breakfast. It is that quiet and spacious. Since the entire hotel is so large, you're unlikely to encounter many people. Even when families take walks, it feels like you rented the whole park. There are many beautiful landscapes and trees everywhere, making walks enjoyable and happy. There are plenty of great photo spots due to the large and lush trees. As I walked around the hotel towards the Paprika restaurant, it started to rain. I hurriedly went inside to avoid the rain while taking pictures, and the staff promptly prepared colorful umbrellas, which was a thoughtful and touching service that made my family exclaim in delight. While the adults were walking, the two elementary school kids were swimming in the main pool of the hotel, and there was a guard present, so we felt safe to stroll around. We gathered in the largest room, the pool villa, to play and sleep, and we only scattered to sleep, and the bedding was comfortable and nice. From check-in to check-out, we kept saying how great it was and how beautiful nature is. It was also nice that we could directly contact the reception via KakaoTalk. My mother especially liked the hotel harmonizing with nature and was happy every time we took pictures. There's also a horseback riding experience, but we couldn't fit it into our schedule this time; however, we plan to try the horseback riding experience next time. When we went out for dinner, my mom lost her phone in a tuk-tuk, but they helped here as well. We had put a reward up, but thankfully, the hotel receptionist remained in contact with the tuk-tuk driver and provided assistance. My mom was most upset about losing her phone because it contained videos and photos of her grandchildren, and she had taken beautiful videos of the natural scenery while walking around the hotel during the day. Many people helped us find the phone, and we completed our happy trip. The road leading to Donatella Hotel is unpaved, and there are many potholes along the way, so it's advisable to keep your belongings secured in your bag to avoid losing them. The breakfast in the morning was also really delicious, with freshly baked warm bread, fresh fruit juice, tea, coffee, and American-style breakfast that was perfect. We had breakfast at the Paprika restaurant, where the cliffs are in front of us, and the sea is in view. The scenery is absolutely stunning. Everything about the hotel was great, and the time spent in the hotel was so joyful. Everything about our trip to Bohol was wonderful, but the best part was the Donatella Hotel. I will definitely go back again. It's perfect for those looking for a hotel staycation, a luxurious hotel, or for those taking their parents.

    “Felt like a VIP here.”

    Donatela certainly made an impression during the check in process. Arrived early and our room was not yet available so we had our lunch at the restaurant. They got us a van that took us from the hotel lobby to the restaurant. Just as we’re about to finish our meal, one of the servers told us that our villa was ready and that a van is waiting for us ready to take us to our villa. The villa was very spacious and had everything we need. The bed was huge and comfortable, the bathroom was also sizeable and very easy to move around. Everything we ate at the restaurant from breakfast, lunch and dinner exceeded expectations. The food is quite expensive but you get your money’s worth. The hotel also offers free shuttle to Alona Beach and going in and out wasn’t a hassle for us. On our last day, our flight was at 630AM so we had to leave early. They packed us a sandwich for our trip. Thank you Donatela for 3D2N retreat that surely is one for the books.

    “Superb ”

    Will definitely come back! One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The staff are very accommodating, the atmosphere is peaceful, and although the prices for the hotel and food are on the higher side, the overall experience is well worth it. I especially loved the nightly turndown service—coming back to refilled water and cookies was such a thoughtful touch.

    “Amazing value and the most wonderful comfortable stay”

    I booked this about 10 days before I was due to arrive, and had been recommended the place. Because of the affordable price-point, I was incredible surprised when I received such a brilliant 5-star service. The team were so diligent, really helpful and polite, and always wanted to make sure that my needs were looked after. The facilities are gorgeous - a really stunning big and comfortable room, huge bed with a great mattress. The only slight thing is that there was a slight smell coming from the drain in the shower, but it was resolved by running the water a bit and keeping the shower door closed. The breakfast was lovely and the view over the ocean from Paprika restaurant spectacular. I loved the pool and thought it was cute to have horses roaming around. The guards at the gate made me feel very safe on site. All-round a great experience and I would love to stay here again!
