A hidden gem! ”
We absolutely loved our stay at The Spirit of Norway! We stayed here for four nights. First of all, we arrived a day early and the manager Dimitri, gave us the same deal we got on Agoda so we didn't have to pay any more. The room itself was spotless, spacious and modern. We had a huge balcony, lovely modern and clean bathroom and a living area with cable TV & excellent wifi connection both in the bar & in our room. The place is a 10 minute ride from Alona Beach and we paid maximum 50 pesos to get to the beach. We hired a motorbike one of the days to explore the island- best rate we found was from the hotel itself rather than pricier places nearer to Alona Beach. We also organised a boat trip through the hotel to Balicasag and Virgin Islands where we were able to snorkel with turtles and explore the islands. Can also organise dolphin watching if you would like. The boat captain and guide were great and allowed us to plan our day completely. All the staff who worked there were friendly, helpful and did everything they could to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We were lucky enough to be there while the manager Dimitri celebrated his birthday and got invited to celebrate with the whole family- this included joining them for a buffet and drinks and ended our night clubbing with them. Thank you so so much to a beautiful family who were so generous and welcoming and made our stay one to remember! In our whole month in the Philippines this has been our favourite place to stay. Thank you Dimitri, Marilyn & your lovely family, neighbours and friends for a lovely stay on Panglao and your warm hospitality, lots of love Lydia & Adam xxx

A very nice hotel in the middle of nowhere”
I was GRANDPAcking in Panglao for 8 nights and stayed my first 2 nights at the Spirit of Norway. I paid a 50% discounted rate of PHP950 / night. The Spirit of Norway is near the Circumferential Road 1-2 km from Panglao City and 3 kms away from the start of Alona Beach. Alona Beach was my target area but online hotels were too expensive for my GRANDPAcking Budget … the Spirit of Norway would allow me time on the Monday to go around on a rental scooter and find something within my price range. The Spirit of Norway is in the middle of nowhere. There are no minimarts, restaurants nor bars around it. It took us 10 minutes to find it in the dark. The Spirit of Norway is a new-build hotel and the rooms are very clean and modern. It came with a kitchenette – but there was no water in the tap and there were no kitchen utensils and no kettle, etc. There was, strangely, a rice cooker – which I used to heat up water for my coffee the next morning. The room was very comfortable and one of the best value for money rooms that I have had in The Philippines. It was spacious and came with good aircon, cable tv, in-room wifi, kitchenette, seating area, a big bathroom with hot water shower, and balcony. They rent scooters for PHP400 / day – which, on The Philippines islands, is a reasonable price … they, probably, have to be reasonable because they are so isolated. I arrived at 7:30pm. I asked the receptionist where the nearest Minimart was. She said that the nearest one was too far to walk and that I would need to catch a Tribike. I walked to the end of the hotel driveway and found a small store across the road. I returned to my hotel and asked to see the food menu. She said that they only did breakfast. I asked where the nearest restaurant was. She said that the nearest one was too far to walk and that I would need to catch a Tribike. I returned to the small store and bought some biscuits. When I returned to the hotel, the receptionist was eating chicken and rice. The hotel staff mad

Excellent hotel, family and owner! ”
My partner and I were blown away when we arrived at the spirit of Norway, the room was incredible with all the mod-con's, huge balcony and even a waterfall shower! We extended our stay here by several days. The family that run the hotel have hearts of gold, they were the nicest and most helpful people. They even invited us to a party they were hosting and, my gosh the food was incredible!! They couldn't have treated us better and we want to thank them for they're hospitality. They also had the most beautiful little dog peanut and we miss him!! We hope to come back one day and enjoy this beautiful place again, thank you!!!

Scandinavian smoothness and filippino charm!”
When entering your room you will get the feeling of being in a modern one bedroom appartment somewhere in Scandinavia. High quality materials, tastefull decour and your own large balcony. The filippino crew was very helpfull! You can get basic but good food from 5 in the morning and if you ned help to arrange a trip, or anything else, it can be done fast and effective. If you wanna avoid the noise at Aluna beach, and if you don't mind a small tricycle ride, you will love The Spirit Of Norway!

The Spirit of Norway is like a home away from home. Friendly staff and good company at the Resto-bar”
The Hotel Resto-bar is nestled in the outer part of the main Township of Panglao and although not within walking distance of the beaches. It is within walking distance of the township, including the 7-11 shop. The location will allow you to see the life of the local people who I found very friendly. I tried many of the local foods from the small eateries. Fresh coconut milk, mangoes, Papaya were all available from local vendors. I also tried the Palm wine, Tuba and Bahalina. To get to the beaches is easy via motorcycle hire, tricycle or habal habal (50 to 100 PHP).

Dimitri is the Best!”
The Staff should actually get 6*. For 4 days we had a pleasure of staying in this excellent hotel. Our stay was perfect. The kind, courteous and friendly staff/management made it more welcoming and made us feel like we are in a "home".The room was very comfortable and clean. Location is a bit away from everyththing but you can hire a scooter for 400 a day. The catch: There is a Rooster-Party which usually starts every day at 1 am in the morning but ya, what you expect, you are on the phillipines.. We highly recommend this place to everyone. Thanks again to Dimitri and Family for this unforgettable visit on Panglao!

Really nice small hotel”
We stayed for three nights in the family room. Clean and modern with Samsung TV with lots of channels. Good air conditioner. We hired a Honda 125cc motorcycle from the hotel for 400php a day. This enabled us to roam when and where we wanted to. The beach is about 3.5km from the hotel and so the motorcycle was really useful. The room has a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. We will book again and we would thoroughly recommend this friendly hotel to anyone.

My best quality stay in the Philippines”
This stay was a big surprise to me. I got the high class large room, full equipped with kitchenette, mini bar, big screen TV, WiFi and a amazing balcony with sitting area and oversized windows. The natural land view is stunning. Everything is new. A little hidden diamond. The stuff is very friendly and offer scooter rental for less money (try there first) and boot/adventure trips. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Spirit of NO-WAY”
So I'll start with the Pro's, there are quite a few.. Very friendly staff. Both girls on our 2 night stay (13+14 May) were so pleasant & helpful. Scooter Hire not a problem. Also able to run a tab at the bar. Room decent size, well furnished & fridge/kettle etc included. Price was fair also. Now the Cons. I have to mention the cleanliness of the kitchen sink/shower/taps was REALLY poor. Its also evident the pictures on Agoda were obviously taken when the place was just built. The bathroom/shower does NOT look as gleaming or fresh anymore. There was an awful smell in the room. Throughout our two day stay. Like cat urine. Sorry but I feel I have to speak the truth. Location-wise, nothing is walking distance really. A 7-11 is near enough, but anything else is a Tricycle. The hotel itself is around 30/40mins from Ferry Terminal in a Tricycle. There are only two rooms, so don't expect any kind of life around the place at all. There are much better options for just a little more cash.

cool price”
We stayed here for 2 days and the manager Dimitri Nini offer us to rent a motor bike at a price about 250 peso per day. We have fun. But car to beach was more expensive. at a price about 400 P. Anyway, It is worthy, the price is so low.

If you are looking to save money, this is the hotel you are looking for. Affordable & okay”
We booked the hotel for 3 days in, T, W n F. We got worried on our 1st day because we arrived at 6PM and the hotel looked dead. There were no lights, the counter &the lobby did not have anyone manning it, so it felt like we got scammed because we already paid for it. Upon waiting for like 30 minutes & desperately looking for someone to let us in, we found a foreigner smoking beside the house. I approached her & she told me she didn't speak English and went to get someone. The woman, I was not sure if she was working there but she had access. She said the staff just left the key. We were able to get in the room, the place was clean but it was like they were not really prepared for us. No towels & blankets but those were given to us by the woman who let us in. There were no thrash bins in the kitchen &in the bathroom. So for 2 days we had the room. Then we left and went back on our last day. Still, no staff but the room we occupied had its door unlocked, so we just got in and stayed

A hidden gem”
i stayed here for a week in December and was impressed by the cleanliness and the friendly atmosphere around the place, the place is newly built and therefore clean and modern, situated a bit of a walk from the resort of Alona beach but Pablo provided me with a good scooter, (at extra cost but cheaper than other local services) a small town is quite close by and also a market where barbecued chicken, and fresh daily bread and fruit is cheaply obtained, a great p[lace to stay, good value and clean and modern

Off the beaten path.”
Staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms were modern, nice and relatively clean. Having two twin bed instead of one full/queen, was a bit annoying. Nonetheless, a very enjoyable stay. Definately would stay here again and recommend it.

Nice place to stay”
Room was very spacious and so was the balcony. The view was very nice. The neighbours had some roosters that made a lot of noise in the early morning. There was a flat screen tv in the room and wi-fi worked fine. Bathroom was nice and comfy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Alona beach is about 10 minutes away by scooter.

great!”
lovely, very friendly staff, room was perfect, nice to have cable TV, comfy beds, lovely bathroom. Would recommend booking a tour with them if you are planning on one - please don't trust the touts near Alona Beach! Highly recommended overall. Note: it should cost no more than 50 pesos to get to the beach.
