My best stay in a hotel ever!!!”
I had a very nice and pleasant stay at Panglao Island Franzen Residences. The location was good, far from the crowds but close enough to walk to the beach. But what made our stay very pleasant was the very accommodating hotel owner who went out of her way to attend to our needs. She was up at 2:00 a.m. to bring us to town because our group joined the Bohol International Marathon I would definitely stay in this hotel again when I go back to Panglao Island.

Exceptional”
If your looking for a quiet, and yet walking distance to all the activities you've come to the right place. Clean and spacious room, safe and secured place, immediate response to all your needs as owners manages the place, friendly and very accommodating as we had early checked out and requested to leave our baggages in their care while we went on a tour. Bigger fridge than what is usually provided in some hotels and a place to hang your wet clothes after a swim in the beach. I feel bad on spending my first day with one of the expensive resort when franzen can surpass the services they offered. Although dining are not available, chains of restaurants are within walking distance. I strongly recommend this place. Will surely come back with the whole family.

Recommended!”
My initial reason/s for booking: It was the best-rated property in the Alona Beach area during my stay, given the price. Duration of stay: 4 nights First impressions: The property offers apartment-type accommodations that’s a 15-minute walk from the nearest tourist destination, Alona Beach. It suited my needs because the reason I’d traveled to Panglao was to attend a beach wedding in a resort I couldn’t afford to stay in. It’s not the best match for travelers whose highest priorities would be to hang out at the beach & mix with the tourist crowd; but anyone looking for a clean, spacious, well-furnished room at a budget price should consider staying here. Later realizations: The walking distance between this property and Alona Beach would have bothered me more if Alona was as lively as Boracay’s famous White Beach. But… it wasn’t. Will I recommend it? Yes

Greatest kept secret in Bohol”
The staff was courteous, kind, helpful and went out of their way to ensure our needs were met. The rooms were well maintained and cleaned daily. These rooms had a bathroom, bedroom and a special section in the back for those who needed to clean scuba or beach clothing. The front of the room had a table and electrical sockets for breakfast or to watch the sunset. The property maintained security throughout the 24 hours with one of their staff members always watching the gates. The Wi-Fi was good enough for me to complete 3 of my PADI e-learning courses and watch movies on Netflix. There were three types of breakfast, large portions and inexpensive by western standards. The staff, if requested by customers, can order taxis, trikes or even private taxis to any areas on the island. Finally, on the last day my gf became very ill due to food poisoning from a private excursion with a company on Alona Beach. While I went to the pharmacy, the staff assisted my girlfriend w/o hesitation.

OK and Comfortable”
For two days we were the only visitors live in Franzen and for another two days only us and another one couple, so even if we came to the reception to ask for, e.g., a hair dryer, we have to wait quite a long time. A bit far away from the beach, but can always take a tutu to the beach, only 10/15p per person. The room is quite old, and our towels were not changed on a daily basis which is OK considering it was the low season (Sep-Oct). The balcony was spacious. So if you are also a diver who needs to rinse and hang your equipment/bikini/clothes, you propably will like the balcony. There was a really cute cat wondering in the courtyard and was very friendly to us stupid human.... Overall, we were OK with the residence. I just booked our 2nd trip to Bohol and I didn't choose to stay with Franzen again....

Second visit”
+ My first experience was great so i visited again. Kind owner & staffs, spacious & clean room. Also a big fridge. What i really liked was that there is a place you can hang your wet clothes for dry. The room is spacious, i think it is appropriate for a family. - TV wasn't working. The residence has no restaurant (but its ok, there are plenty around)

Excellent residence!”
2 minutes & 50 peso by tricycle to alona beach. The best in my mind is kindness of host. They were helped me to cure my hurt, and continuely checked my hurt. They borrowed us aqua shoes and snorkeling equipments. If i go back Bohol again, i will visit here again. it was excellent. Thanks!

Gem in Alona”
This hotel, in my option was the best value for price in the area. It is set just back from the chaos of alona, on a piece of property with a relaxing vibe. It is walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and water and a kettle were in the rooms. Our only complaint was not about the hotel but about Alona Beach in general. It is crazy busy and touristy and not a relaxing place to visit. If you are looking for total peace try Dumaluan Beach.

Spotless rooms and very good value”
The hotels is very well maintained and within walking distance to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean. The owner takes very good care of the place, a broken lamp for instance was replaced straight away, rooms made up every day and stairs were cleaned several times a day. Walking distance to the beach and the main strip. We would have stayed longer but wanted to be on the beach for our kids.

Comfortable and peaceful”
Tucked away from the chaos of the city centre but close enough to the restaurants and bars. 5 min walk away from the beach. Has better deals for yours and activities than those you’d get directly on the beach.

very good accommodation, nearby the beach, affordable...”
The resort is clean, affordable accomodate us 5 person thats a plus coz. They could accomodate more people in affordable prize the thing I like more about this place they're room are clean and good shower and bathroom. You can also make coffee in room. Its very close to the beach. Compare to the beachfront prizes who only accomodate 2 person for rooms for twice the prize or even 3x's expensive. I'll stay at this resort again.Friendly staff.

Friendly place, decent location could have better facilities”
The staff was lovely and owned by a great Filipina. Nice sized rooms, clean and decent location far enough to be very quiet but within walking distance of the main action Alona Beach (15min walk). They have parking if you have a moto. However, the aircon is undersized for the room and a window style (rather than a split) which is not my preference, room gets hot in the morning due to the south facing orientation. There is no pool and no restaurant so there are other hotels which have similar pricing and better facilities. However just across the street is a fine restaurant.

Not bad”
Value for money, Staffs were aproachable, Room and amenities were more than satisfied. I have no problems with this hotel. Only issue is it’s a little far from the beach so would have to ride a tricycle back and forth each time unless you want to walk.

There are good stuff”
The stuff can speak little Japanese. He was very kind. His personality look like country side people in Japan. Because talkative as fun. I like it. But the facilities are not so much good. very thin wall, no amenity, only shower, and darkness. If you are diver, I recommend there. because very quite place in over night. I understand why review is good. Because it's good stuff.

Clean, quiet, and well located hotel with very friendly staff!”
Only a 5 min walk to Alona Beach, but also on the quiet side of the area - very easy access to restaurants and shops but still a haven away from all the busyness. Everyone at the hotel was so helpful and kind and I would recommend it in a heartbeat!
