We really enjoyed our stay in this property. It was quiet and far away from the busy Alona beach. However, there was not enough options in their breakfast buffet.

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!!!!!

We had a great time at this fantastic property. The staff have been absolutely amazing, always with a smile on their face and ready to help. The atmosphere around the resort was very peaceful, the room was spotless and the direct access to a private beach was a bonus as you don’t need to fight for a place. The swimming pool was perfect size and there is also free snorkelling equipment available as well table tennis, kayaks and hammocks. You can arrange tours around the island at the reception - we did the countryside tour. There is only one restaurant but it is exceptionally good with a beautiful view so no need to look further. I could go on and on but all that’s left to say is thank you to all the staff for making our holiday so special, really a gem of a place! Salamat!!

I loved the Amerela Resort! So much love in every little detail. Amazing garden and pool area with direct access to the beach with sunbeds. The rooms are lovely too, big comfortable bed, nice shower with good water pressure (which is not a given in the Philippines) and little balcony with sea view. We stayed in room 302 but I think all rooms fave the sea.

Great place to stay

Excellent resort. Beautiful views of the sea and gardens. Nice comfortable rooms. Fantastic, helpful, friendly staff. We ate breakfast and dinner at the resort. Food was superb, my compliments to the chef(s). Nice private beach, swimming pool, hammocks, chairs, net for badminton. Just very pleasant overall. Very satisfied. Yes, you are away from the town and need to have transportation but that's what resorts are about.

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.

It is a very beautiful property and the staff was so friendly. It is an older property without an elevator but I think this added to the beautiful rustic atmosphere. We had one female girl at the restaurant that never smiled and seemed to be a little unhappy with her job but she was not disrespectful so it’s all good. Lol she also did not wear a name tag on her shirt as the others did. But all and all it was a great experience and we will go back.

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⭐️

Hôtel très calme avec un magnifique jardin et une plage quasi privée. La chambre Bohol House avec sa piscine privée est superbe. Le personnel est très aimable. Kayak à disposition que nous avons utilisé deux fois pour rejoindre une petite plage et faire du snorkeling. Demi journée à l'île de Balicasag permettant un bon snorkeling. Cet hôtel permet de séjourner sur Panglao à l'écart d'Alona beach Le restaurant a des prix très corrects,le service est un peu lent. Nous sommes très satisfaits d'avoir choisi cet hôtel.

Wunderschönes, gepflegtes und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtetes Hotel. Das Personal ist sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Direkter Zugang zum Strand (nicht barrierefrei, da kurzer Abstieg über Stufen). Der Strand ist sehr schön. Zugang zum Meer jedoch recht steinig und ohne Badeschuhe beschwerlich. Umgebung: wenig touristische Infrastruktur. Mit dem Trike fährt man circa 8 Minuten bis zum Alona Beach an dem es zahlreiche Restaurants und Bars gibt. Kosten: 200 PHP pro Strecke. Verpflegung: Frühstück sehr lecker und mit einer guten Auswahl. Generell eine gute Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken. Wir empfehlen das Hotel für 3-4 Nächte um Bohol zu entdecken und eventuell ein bis zwei Strandtage einzulegen. Das Hotel ist für all diejenigen geeignet, die nicht in der lauten Umgebung von Alona sein möchten und eher einen ruhigen Rückzugsort wünschen. Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen.
