Alona Beach Poolside Hotel

Ok, this property is not a resort, just a few rooms behind the bar. I liked it due to location, right on Alona beach, within steps of multiple dive shops, restaurants and suri suri next door. Room was clean, newly remodeled, beautiful bathroom, roomy with sink, mini fridge and hot plate. Pool looked ok, but never used it. Staff is the owners family, very attentive and helpful. The owner Chris is friendly, and has great connections to set up tours or private cars almost any time of the day. Only downside is that the bar up front is different ownership, and has his House Band (Hard Rock/Heavy Metal) play every night of the week except Tuesday. The Best Western next door has loud techno music or band from 6-9 and the House Band, just steps away, plays from 9-11. If you’re there to party, or plan on being out every night till 11, it’s probably not an issue. If you want a quiet peaceful place, it’s not for you. Actually even difficult to watch television it’s so loud. Make sure to bring earplugs if you want to sleep before 11 pm. As stated everything, is excellent, except for the noise level, and if you’re a late night person, that’s probably not an issue. By the way, the band is fantastic, very talented.

Great value, right on the beach, in center of Alona Beach, the band (Frank and Birdwatchers big band) plays best rock & roll I have heard in a very long time, great selection of beer at best price. I've stayed at B&D Bluestone, and South Beach Bohol hotels, but keep coming back to Birdwatchers, great staff and fun place to stay. Highly recommend.

Amazing staff amazing food great atmosphere highly recommend

Overall stay was pretty convenient. It's a few steps from the beach, but make sure to be dropped off on site if you can, because it ruined my suitcase from being dragged from the parking area to the hotel and back. The pool could use a bit of thorough cleaning, but we still enjoyed it. We stayed in a family room, and it was very comfortable for a pax of 8. We will stay again.
