GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!”
Pro: - beach front - Good staff - they arranged our island hopping tour - Comfy Cons: - Aircon needs cleaning but we slept well Overall our stay was great! And if given the chance to stay in Bohol, id still choose Aquatica!

Very average resort BUT it is on the beachfront - that is your trade-off”
I was GRANDPAcking in Alona Beach for 6 nights and stayed at the Aquatica. I spent the previous day searching for somewhere to stay on the beach and decided to put up with the Aquatica's shortfalls because of its location on the beachfront. The Aquatica is the cheapest resort on the beachfront. When I enquired at the Aquatica myself, I was told by the receptionist that they had no rooms. The Aquatica looked like it could be an option but, without being able to see a room, I was reluctant to book it. I decided to check it out online later. After all, it was the only beachfront resort that I had found so far that I could afford … Sure enough, when I looked online there were still some rooms so I booked a Fan Double at PHP950 / night. It was meant to come with cable tv and in-room wifi - when I got there and checked in, I discovered that it had neither. The ceiling fan worked but no longer oscilated - so it was backed up by a floor-standing fan. The rooms were very hot inside and even with both fans on maximum it was hard to get the heat in the room to an OK level. The toilet seat was broken off and there was no mirror over the sink to shave with. The shower water smelt. The 'free wifi' didn't work in their restaurant either for the first 4 days but then came right - I suspect that they had run out of data or money on their data plan ... All in all you get what you pay for.

Good basic accommodation with good location”
i liked my three nights at aquatica. staff was friendly and helped me out whenever i needed a ride or something fixed with the room. room itself was basic - just a bed, a drawer, small tv, and a basic but clean bathroom with cold water only. definitely the biggest plus for me was the excellent location of the resort right by the beach and in the middle of all the action.

Good location and value”
You get what you pay for with this motel. The location is amazing right in the middle of the beach area but relatively quiet. It is at the end of the access road so you dont have to carry luggage to the hotel with no road access. All cheap stores/restaurants within easy distance. The most beautiful beach is in front of Hennan Resort which is also easy walking. The area is full of beach bars and restaurants. It is very busy but the beach is not crowded. The motel is older and poorly managed and maintained. We arrived at 5pm. The room we paid for was not available !(upstairs), the room that they thought was available a already had somebody in it. The room that was empty was not yet cleaned way past the check in time. They moved us next day upstairs so they are helpful but you have to keep on asking. The room had a leaky water line so we had to use the main shut off to use the sink. Furniture is old and lot of repairs needed. But it is clean, breakfast is fairly priced and good.

Good Hotel”
I booked 1 night here and ended up staying 3 night. I stayed in a single room with fen and cold water only. Room was OK and clean for a reasonable price. Water pressure in the shower was good. Hotel has a superb location just in the first row of building on the beach, but not noisy in the night that you can sleep well. Staff was nice and helpful. Would stay here again specially for the price and great location.

Beach front!”
We were here last March 18-20, 2017 and the experience is okay. I looked for a cheaper beach front hotel with basic amenities and this is what I found. I booked for a standard fan-double room (1 double bed) which has its own bathroom. It has no TV, no towels (we didn't ask but I think they should have provided at least one), shower isn't working (but most of the time you're out in the beach-my husband and I are used to use "tabo" anyway), no hot water (we don't need it especially it's the summer season). The cabinet to hang our clothes doesn't have a rod and hanger and this we insist for them to provide to us. Our 2 nights costs P1746 (including taxes). Overall, our experience is great despite the setbacks. The staff are nice and I forgot to add that they have free Wifi access!

Two steps to sea”
Wonderful place in the middle of Alona Beach, great location, only 2 steps to the beach. We were there for 7 days and really enjoyed our stay. WiFi was slow sometimes. You should ask staff to clean your room, and remind them twice ☺️ room was big with your own balcony. Nice place, we will be back.

Very good”
I booked a room for 5 nights stay. I really like the simplicity of the room, it is neat and clean. The cost of accommodation is cheap compared to other resorts. It is located in beach front and near the restaurants and bars. I will definitely book a room here when we will return to Alona beach.

You get what you pay for”
This hotel has 2 floors with both AC and fan. I chose fan, which is normally ok, but the room I was staying in was probably 5 degrees warmer inside than the outside air temp. Tolerable at night though with the fans. Nice little balcony outside. Staff was fine but most could have been a little more friendly. The location is the best part - central on the beach and right next to the walking street that goes up away from the beach. I liked that there was a cheap option for me to stay in my own room. Very minimalistic, no hot water and water was not completely fresh. But all of that is ok and to be expected with the price. My only 2 complaints were: 1. the heat trapped in that room, 2. the staff could be a little friendlier.

Budget-friendly beachfront resort”
If you're a backpacker that needs a place to stay with a nice view and convenient location, this is the place to go. The resort is budget-friendly, do not expect too much with the facilities. Food and drinks are available here at a very minimum amount compared to other hotels. :p Overall, my experience is really memorable here, try to sit back and relax on their veranda while listening to your favorite tracks (or just stare at the beauty of the beach).

Excellent Location in Alona Beach;Value for your money.”
The location is great!Very accessible to bars, shops,and major road. Fronting the beach so if you have booked an island hopping tour like us then the boat will be just in front. The room is large enough to fit us 3 w/additional mattress but outdated,old TV,no bar/ref,no free toiletries&water. No Generator so like there was a brown out from 7-4 during our stay- no water too as of course the pump could not work. However,the owner-bless him- when I called to complain he waived the additional mattress fee,

CHEAP BUT COMFORTABLE”
CHEAP Location is excellent, right at the mid of Alona beach stretch. Can easily be located if you are commuting. Overall, the place and facilities are basic yet usable and well-functioning. Very cold aircon, too! Staff were very pleasing. They are very flexible as to our needs and request. Will definitely be staying when I come back!

No Frills Rooms”
Pros Right at the beach Eateries/Restaurant/Bars are at short walking distance Rooms are clean Cons Old and crumbly building Beds/sheets are old Staff will not clean your room unless you asked for it No regular cleaning on the second floor common area where people leave their empty bottles, plates, etc. If you want to be pampered and require attention, this is not a place for you. If you just want q place to drop your gears and sleep at a reasonable right at the beach, this is your place. Cons
