Lovely stay here, room very comfortable and team have been super nice - would recommend as a base for your stay here, shuttle to town every hour and easy to walk/get a tuck tuk also

This is a great hotel! Secluded and quiet location. Great, friendly staff. Good food, happy hour drinks and a lovely relaxing pool area. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
The only thing I would suggest is having a board at reception so people booking trips can say which room/how many people and combine trips - especially good for solo travellers. I booked a countryside tour and bumped into two couples who would have loved to become a group, and for solo travellers it's nice to not do everything solo!

We stayed on a family roon for 5 days due a flight cancellation. 2 rooms connected with one bathroom. Everything seems new and works perfectly. Room.is really spacious and bright. Breakfast haa 5 options and are all well served. We had a minor incident taht was solves efficently and fast. Would come back

Overall a very nice resort. Some shortcomings: the bathroom door rubs, there is not a single towel hook in the bathroom, and part of the road is in very poor condition and turns into a very muddy field when it rains. I know this resort has free shuttle service to Alona Beach and there’s affordable tuk tuk transfer available but walking for the short distances is so flexible and healthy and environmentally friendly option.

I really like the place, just the location is kind of pretty dark to walk to town at night as a woman

Great place to stay, staff are extremely helpful and friendly! Property is in good condition, food was great. Clean and refreshing pool, free shuttle to Alona beach and close to other activities and food. Property has a generator for the occasional brownouts and good WiFi that works even if property is on generator.

***BED BUGS ALERT***
We would love to post a wonderful review for this place because the location and the staff were pretty good. Breakfast was great as well as the scenery. We did occupy two rooms and in the first night our friend found a dead bed bug. Maintenance didn’t seem to take it too seriously and moved her to a different room. Meanwhile in our room unbeknownst to what was going on with our friend we slept through the night. I woke up with about 20 bed big bits in 4 different places. I spoke to the manager and again I don’t think they understand the significance or importance of bed bugs. Unfortunately due to this reason only we could never return.

Like almost everywhere in Bohol
the roads to the resorts are in bad condition. Can’t fault a single resort for that—perhaps a community effort can correct this.
As for this resort—would be nice if airport pickup/dropoff was complimentary.

Nice rooms, but the power sockets worked intermittently (I had to use a different one every day to charge my phone), which made it hard to work. Otherwise the place was great, good breakfast, lovely staff, nice pool, and a regular shuttle to the beach (itself only a 20mn walk).

Worst place i have ever been to. We have arrived to green papaya which is an nice looking place but the place is full of rules like you are in jail . No drinking near the pool , no taking the key outside the place , no hanging cloths in balcony . Most order you breakfast choise day before. And an endless list of other rules. At the last nigth we wanted to shower and there wasn't hot water we talk to the staff and the answer was the emplloye already home so shower tommorow. Wish you a lot of good luck if you are staying there.

This is a small hotel off the beaten track down a rough road in a more residential area. The grounds are very nice and well kept with a big pool. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The food was good and the staff were very accommodating. The only thing they need to change is what they do with the chemicals, or amount of chemicals, they use in the pool. Whatever was in the water really hurt your eyes if you opened them under water and was hard on the skin. The only other thing I would suggest is to have multi use plastic cups for around the pool. This is a very nice little resort.

Breakfast was only so-so and the dining area very small. Hotel is not near the beach on a back road dirt/gravel alley. Chinese guests at the hotel are loud, noisy, obnoxious. No phone in room. Cleanup did not include new guest soap/shampoo etc. Not a very good place to stay.

The staff was wonderful and assisted us in our needs. The meals were good. the atmosphere was relaxed and very chill.
If there was something on the negative side was we couldn't get WiFi in our room. Only outside of it. We told the staff but it wasn't fixed.

The rooms are clean and spacious. Restaurant food is good. Be aware that the front desk staff will try to charge you 4% extra to use a credit card to settle your account when checking out. This is totally illegal and has been a violation of Philippine law since 2009. Bills paid by cash or credit card are required to be the same under Phillipines law. I will report this violation to the Philippine government when I return to the USA and request that they require hotel management to cease this violation and fine them if they persist in violating Philippine law.

This is a nice hotel,,Not a 10 minute walk to or from the beach,But the multi cab can take you every 45 minute to the beach area or pick you up.
Nice staff.

We had a pleasant experience in this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The aircon in our room broke down, but they moved us to a new room.

Everything is good especially for the spacious room and nice staff. Appreciation was given to their free breakfast and shuttle bus to and returing the beach. It's value of money. However, one issue that make me feel unhappy. According to hotel instruction guide, they are able to book tricycle at cost 300 peso to the pier upon request. Then I request one for leaving to pier through their staff in one day advance. Staff said it's Ok and no problem at once. But when I checked out, the one receptionist told me that all tricycles were not available for that whole day and suggested me to book private care at cost 700 peso through her instead. I was so questioning about that but I have no time to question more. Thus, I choose this option for leaving. During the transporting to the pier, I saw so many tricycles running on the road while some of them were shown "available for hire". In that time, I really feel the staff was dishonestly to me.

酒店离alona beach很近，10分钟by walk，酒店有shuttle bus，只要能meet到时间，还是非常便捷的，配套设施齐全，早餐美味，如果第二天赶早出海提前和工作人员说会给你备好三明治。下次再来会再次选择。

Ridiculously charged 3,500 pesos for stains on the pillow from the henna tattoo! Unbelievable!

Staff were extremely welcoming and it's great to have access to the pool which many of the guests made full use of. Our room was basic but large, we were made aware that they had no / intermittent hot water which was not too much of a bother given the scorching outdoor temperatures.
Breakfast was ordered the day before and a great selection of items and fresh daily juices. Their happy hour is a fantastic deal and you can choose to have lunch / dinner on site or head out to the local area.
There is a local shuttle with 2 services every hour, however the town itself is only a 10-15 minute walk away. There are a number of recommended places for food nearby.

It was unfortunate that there was construction on the water heater, so I had to take cold showers. It also would've been nice to have shampoo, body wash, and rinse bottles, instead of those little individual packets. Wifi stronger in certain parts, so just experiment in the rooms.The pool is wonderful and a great size. The bar serves up delicious food and the staff treat you like familiar friends. The resort has a friendly shuttle service to the beach which is about a 15 minute walk away.

Picked this hotel for location away from all the noise in Alona beach. As reviewed by others, perfect location for serenity, friendly and willing staff to accommodate your needs at all times .we’ll come back again.
Note to resort owners: they need to put together funds to cement the short dirt road leading to their property.
