great location for rest and relaxation.
Isla Hayahay is an amazing hotel is a secret spot in Bohol. It is away from everything but the resort has everything you need. The food is great with so much choice that you look forward to trying from the range of dishes. The bar is well stocked and open 24hours a day. We spent three nights at the resort at the end of our two week philappines trip and it was well worth it. Three days of relaxing by the pool and unwinding. They do have diving and day trips offered on site. But actually relaxing by the pool overlooking the sea was exactly what we needed. All the staff are great and there when you need. The location is about an hour drive from Bohol airport and 20 minute from the ferry port. The family suite consists of two rooms and a bathroom with seating area on a balcony. It was perfect.

Beautiful quiet getaway
This place was absolutely beautiful! Was on the fence because it was a little tucked away, but we ended up loving that the most. We were able to rent a scooter and drive all around as well, and after driving down to Panglao to catch the sunset, we were happy with our decision on the place. Panglao was way over crowded and not the getaway we wanted.

I loved this resort. It is far away from the big crowds therefore it is very tranquil and a great place to relax. The staff is absolutely lovely and helpful, the room was very clean and the pool was very clear and get cleaned every day. I enjoyed my dinner on the deck where there was a slight sea breeze and the view over the sea was just amazing. They have a big menu and the meals were just fantastic. Unfortunately, I could only stay for one night but will be back soon and can absolutely recommend this resort.

Response from Management on 3 June 2019
Dear guest, It would have been helpful if you would have given us your name or, at least, the reason why you rated us with 1. If you are who we think you are… you are the persons that booked our smallest room, the Native Cottage, that sleeps maximum 2 persons. On the check in date you showed up with a group of 12 people and wanted to “squeeze in all of them” (your words), which we obviously didn’t allow. Your request for extra rooms couldn’t be accommodated because our resort was fully booked at the time. You cancelled the room on site but we couldn’t restitute the money you paid because of our cancelation policy, to which you agreed upon booking on the Expedia Website, which charges the first night on cancelation within 7 days prior to arrival. We are sorry to say that your terrible experience with Isla Hayahay Beach Resort and Restaurant is totally self inflicted by you but we are still sorry that you had to experience this. Kind regards, Management Isla Hayahay Beach Resort & Restaurant

This is the perfect little hidden resort. Beach with crystal clear water, magnificently designed pool, gourmet kitchen restaurant and ample shaded areas with hammocks and benches. A 200 peso ($4 US) ride into the picturesque town of Calape or a 300 peso ($6 US) ride to the much larger city center of Tubigon. There is a pool side well stocked bar as well as tea and coffee available 24/7. I cannot imagine a more perfect spot. I’m not into diving but apparently this is one of the best places to dive in the entire Bisaya Region.

Dear Gordon Thanks for your review, but could you please clarify what you mean? As far as we remember you were here with your son and your daughter in law, rented some motorbikes one day and seemed to enjoy our resort. We actually had some good chats and some laughs together, and there was never a single complaint. So we really like to know a bit more what was wrong so we can also act accordingly. Kind Regards

Great chill vibe.
This place is amazing if you’re looking for a quiet chill location. You can rent a motorbike from the hotel to explore sections of the island. The AC isn’t very cold and that’s my only complaint, but there is a fan and we survived. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Pool is great, our daughter had a blast in it. Staff are incredibly nice, would definitely come back here!

It's on the beach, food was excellent, and the staff was awesome. I recommend the corner ocean view room. It is very spacious and bathroom is huge. I was amazed with the showers water pressure. I flew my drone a couple of times and the area is extremely beautiful from up above. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Staff very friendly and they made us dinner and lunch when we wanted itafter asking what we wanted to order. Timing was perfect and food good. Beautiful location and we enjoyed using the kayaks and wave board. Lots of crabs on the beach and lots of star fish in the sea, which was nice to watch ! Great value for money.

Quiet relaxing place by the sea
We were picked up by the resort van and given a tour of Bohol that same day. Although we arrived at around 1:30pm at Loboc pier, we were able to catch the last Loboc River tour, see the tarsiers, man made forest, butterfly conservation, chocolate hills and shop for souvenirs and goods along the way. The staff were very accommodating. The food and juices at the resort were good and prepared fresh. The accommodation was individual cabins so when you go out your room, you are greeted by trees, flowers, birds. There are several hammocks and benches to relax or sunbathe in. Steps lead to the sea where you can snorkel or swim further to dive. High tide is morning so if you wake early enough, you can watch the sunrise, walk far as you watch crabs coming out and the fishermen wading to catch them and some fish caught in the low tide. It is away from the crowd in Panglao and is good for those who want to enjoy a quiet environment. There's a swimming pool with a slide.

誰かに教えてあげたくなる、誰にも教えたくない素敵なホテル
初めての一人旅なのでアットホームな雰囲気のホテルを探しました。宿泊前からメールの返信は早く好印象でした。当日はセブからどのフェリーに乗れるかわからなかったので、連絡手段も確認して送迎を頼んでおいたので安心でした。部屋は清潔でした。南国です。ヤモリがたくさんいて糞が落ちることがありましたが、私には問題には感じられませんでした。テレビも滞在中見ることはなかったのですがチェックアウト前につけてみたら日本の番組もきれいに映っていました。シャワーの湯量は完ぺきではないものでした。しかしこれも離島のリゾートでは許容範囲だと思いました。アメニティはシャンプーインリンスと固形石鹸がありました。固形石鹼を使いましたが、これは持参がいいなと思いました。食事は夕食3回ランチ2回朝食3回食べましたが、どれも美味しかったです。日本人に合う味だと思いました。メニューもたくさんあって楽しめました。量も十分でした。一人なのでデザートまでたどり着けないほどでした。是非友人と再訪したいです。また、ここにはダイビングセンターがあり日本語を話せる女性インストラクターがいます。沖縄に住んでいたそうで、謙遜されていましたが十分会話ができる方でした。ダイビングする人なら心強いかと思います。ホテル前の海はシュノーケルで遊ぶのに十分でした。ホテルのシュノーケルツアーは信じられないほどきれいなポイントに連れて行ってくれました。従業員達はフレンドリーで親切でした。安心してゆったり穏やかな時間を過ごせる素敵なホテルでした。
ご近所さんがいつも来ているようでティータイムを楽しんだりしているようでした。

마음이 편안한 곳.
어디 안다니고 조용하게 휴식하기 좋은 곳입니다. 이용시간에 제한이 없는 수영장과 바가 있어 좋습니다. 매니저 Robert를 비롯하여 모든 직원들이 친절합니다. 저희가 묵었던 traditional cottage는 하룻밤 자고나니 개미들이 많이 돌아다녔는데, 얘기하니 스프레이를 뿌려준다하였고, 다음날까지 개미에 크게 시달리지 않고 지낼 수 있었습니다. 저희방은 에어컨은 없었지만 대형 선풍기가 있어서 더위로 힘들진 않았습니다. 투비곤항에서 택시기사가 1500페소를 부르고, 1200까지 깎아준다는데, 500페소 내고 트라이시클 타고 갔습니다. 리셉션에서 말하길 택시는 1000페소, 트라이시클은 500페소쯤 한다합니다. 돌아갈때 리조트에서 잡아준 트라이시클은 400페소에 투비곤항까지 데려다줬습니다. 오토바이 렌트가 가능합니다. 저희는 두사람이 한대에 타서 그런건지 원래 한대 가격이 그런건지 모르겠으나 하루종일 팔백에 빌렸습니다. 반납할때는 연료를 꽉 채워서 해야한다합니다. 깔라페에 나가서 기름도 넣고 점심도 먹고 성당 관광도 하고 하는데 모든 현지인들이 우리를 쳐다봅니다. 그만큼 외국인이 귀한동네인듯합니다. 한국인을 안보고 편안히 생각없이 쉬다 오기엔 너무나도 좋은 곳입니다. 엄청 깔끔한 시설을 기대하는 분에게는 아쉬울 수 있습니다.

3박이 아쉬운 리조트
전체적으로 만족. 20여회의 여행 중 다시가고 싶은 네팔의 리조트와 같이 좋았네요. 화장실과 샤워실이 넓어서 좋았네요. It is nice place for rest and also activities because only nine rooms are in resort and has good pick up system so every where you can go other beach. Only one thing not to expect is view of sun rising and sunset, for the reson of near islands.Oocean wave was almost null.The price of foods in the restaurant is reasonable. I had no experience in Phillipines like as a delicous dinner in Vietnam. I have had wonderful holydays at the Islahayahay resort with my wife.

Although it's low season, the staff are really helpful and kindess. the resort is very remote thus it's quiet. They provide many activities. My favourite is their restaurant. Since this island doesnt have many place to eat. That's really import to their guess. The restaurant provides a variety of choice and every type of food are decilious equally and the price is reasonable~
