Paradise. Great for people who like peaceful boutique hotels. Excellent Filipino hospitality, gorgeous natural beauty, tastefully designed and elegantly maintained property, delicious food. It was delightful wherever we set our gaze. We loved the Amarela Suite.

Art and antiques abound in a well decorated resort. Lush and green, wonderful pool and a beachfront; you can't help but be impressed with the layout and excellent staff. My suite was full of light airy with two balconies. If you want quiet at night, this is it. View is amazing: WiFi and cable TV not great but available. My one disappointment was their wine selection: terrible! Next time I will bring my own, but in their defense the wine vendor they used went bankrupt, although a 4 star resort should do better. Yes, I would come back because it truly is a great place to visit Panglao.

The resort is fantastic. The environment is great. Everything is beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. They helped us to arrange the transportation to the airport and the city center. The restaurant is the best on the island. Don’t waste your money on alone beach for the food. Their restaurant has the next Filipino food. The hotel also has the private beach. So beautiful!!!!!

Friendly and accommodating staff

It's comfortable It's very nature-friendly The bed was too small to be comfortable The staff is very, very friendly (they take care of the customer's check-out time, breakfast time, etc.) There's a private beach, but it's not a good environment to enjoy The breakfast is excellent It's free to pick you up and drop you off at the airport

Absolutely wonderful.

Excellent food, excellent service, great gallery of art, good beach access, and so damn beautiful!

The resort offers a great ambience, design, food, amenities and most of all the people who serve and provide what you need for your stay. The pick up in the airport was stress-free and easy. We recognized the driver in a yellow uniform with Amarela signage, and approached us with an umbrella and a big smile going to the van. We arrived at the resort and warmly welcomed us with drinks and precious smiles of the staff. We were checked in right away upon arrival though our check-in time should’ve been in a later time. Lots of help with our luggages and the spirit of hospitality radiated throughout as we walked into our room. The design of the resort is elegantly beautiful and the concept of old Bohol is quite fascinating. I love the local art and woodwork that show how rich Filipino culture and traditions are. The whole place is surrounded with vibrant beauty of landscape and colourful flora. The amenities and facilities offer a sense of the place that is easily accessible and entertaining. The service in the restaurant was superb, and the food was prepared meticulously and with delightful to our palate. The staff made our stay comfortable and their amazing service truly what makes this resort a five star and exceptional. From the room service, restaurant, even the art gallery and by the beach—all well-staffed and their assistance was remarkable. My family really unwind and enjoyed our stay here. Beach is not great though but not far from Alona beach. 5⭐️
