Highly Recommended!”
A truly wonderful stay, in such a beautiful part of the world. My room was large and kept in an extremely clean manner. The staff is truly this hotels key asset. Always smiling, friendly and helpful. During my stay I sustained a leg injury and if it was not for the amazing staff at the hotel it would have been a misery. They went out of their way to assist me in all ways possible. I felt as they were more ‘family’ than staff! The hotel itself is quite modern with an authentic native look to the outside in a quiet spot but still close to beach. The pool was well maintained and I took advantage of it at every opportunity. The food in the restaurant was tasty with a wonderful breakfast included. Room facilities were great, air conditioning was efficient, nice mini bar, beds were comfortable, WIFI reception was strong and the bathroom was quite spacious. Truly the best hotel that I have stayed in recently and deserves its high ratings! Thank you again, I hope to be back again soon :)

Perfect and very clean place to rest”
We were suprised how pleasant and nice this hotel was. Starting with very kind and friendly staff, delicious welcome drink, through very clean room, and finally a great swimming pool. Hotel serves delicious breakfast, has selection of drinks at the bar. Location is very convenient as well, with walking distance to main road, Alona Beach, transportation and shops. There's shuttle bus frequently operating between hotel and Alona Beach main parking. We really recommend this place as perfect to rest, while still close to everything you need.

Loved everything about our stay, will definitely be going back and will not hesitate to recommend. ”
This hotel is perfect for all ages. They have free breakfast (which is great), a free shuttle to the beach every 30 mins, very good standard of food served from the menu, fast WiFi, big clean pool, nice hygienic rooms which are cleaned every day, very friendly staff, scooter to rent, security guard on the entrance all night. Would definitely recommend to anyone as it’s by far the best hotel we’ve stayed in for the price. Thanks very much for having us and hopefully see you again.

Always good to come back to this charming place.”
It was our third visit in this resort and we've always had pleasant time there. As requested, we've got the same room we've stay last year. Comfortable as usually. The staff was very kind and helpful, especially these days, when most of tourists had to deal with all kind of problems caused by Corona-virus worldwide outbreak. The reception provided full and useful information to the guests. If you search for a clean, quite place in center of Alona, with amazing service, cosy rooms, great swimming pool and garden, you should stay there. Highly recommended.

Wonderful oasis ”
This place is located conveniently near aAlina Beach but far enough away that it is very quiet and calming. They offer a shuttle to and from Alona Beach every 30 minutes and only takes 3 minutes. The staff was so nice and accommodating. They helped us arrange a tour of the island by car (they only help arrange private tours) but the driver was very professional and adapted the tour based on our preferences. The staff also booked our ferry back to Cebu and arranged a tricycle to the ferry from the resort. The pool was nice to enjoy but there is not too much time where the sun hits the pool due to the trees but it was still nice to sit there and enjoy the quiet. Overall we had a great experience and so far it was our favorite place in the Philippines!

Green Papaya was a highlight to our trip!”
Staff were unbelievable, all of them: reception, cleaning, cooking, bar and the night time security guard. My wife and I plan to return in the future. The site was clean, beautiful well taken care of; rooms comfortable and staff helped to arrange our outings. I just can't think of anything that could have made our stay better! A big big big thank you to all the staff!!

Bridal shower summer getaway”
This is my first trip to Bohol and I went with college friends, one of whom was getting married soon. There were 6 of us who are all part of the “Bride Squad”. They have airport transfers; they’re only 10 minutes away from the new Panglao airport. The place was away from beach front but they had a shuttle service. They can also make arrangements for day tours and beach tours, which we both booked. It was brilliant! I went to the Loboc river cruise and the Chocolate Hills among other things. Wow! The staff also helped us surprise my friend by helping with the logistics of the surprise bridal shower. They allowed us to decorate the room and sneak a cake in. This was just one of the many instances they accommodated requests from us. Their overall service and treatment of guests was beyond exceptional. Kudos to all the staff! The food was delicious and generously served as well. Worth every peso. ☺️ Will definitely come back and recommend to friends.

Nice, Clean, and a very warm and friendly reception from the staff.”
Talk about the place, nice, beautiful, clean, resort, though you can only find 1 Papaya tree. All the ladies and gentlemen staff are friendly and warm and wonderful and helpful to our inquiry. Even their Pilipino Manager was helpful too. Breakfast and their food are were also good. They have shuttle service every 30 mins going in and out to Alona Panglao. Would love to go back another time.

Peaceful Oasis”
Great place away from the main strip. Super clean and quiet. If you want to escape the world and have some peace but be close to the action, this is the place for you.

Great deal and very accomodating staff”
I went with my children and we had a great time there. The staff is very nice and not pushy. The location is good and not far from the bitch. Quiet place and kids friendly. I will go there again.

March 2022 ”
If you want a Philippine province life kind of vacation, you must book this resort. As it has its province vibe. You can walk to Alona Beach but a little too far. And there are dogs everywhere so just be careful. And the road is not good. They don’t offer lunch or dinner. But they can assist you with food delivery. The best room for me is the one on the 3rd floor, the rooftop suite. It’s very spacious and it has a balcony. From there you can see the sunrise and sunset, and the moon at night! The sofa/lounge needs some cleaning! The bathroom needs an improvement, it doesn’t have a bidet, and some rack in the shower. The doorknob was also broken. Good thing it’s really hot in Bohol so it’s okay that the heater was not working properly but at night the water gets really cold. They serve set breakfast and you can ask them to deliver it to your room if you want. We tried their Filipino breakfast (longanisa or corned beef) with eggs and some fruits, coffee, and juice. Just ask for some salt as their eggs don’t have any! Haha They have 2 pools. One from 3ft - 7ft and the other one 5ft. Overall, it was still a precious stay. Thank you.

Excellent experience ”
We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite. It is spacious and clean. Strongly recommend for family. Location wise, it’s quite a distance to Alona beach but worry not, shuttle is provided every 30mins to Alona beach. The staffs are very friendly and accommodating. Our daily routine while waiting for shuttle were to hang around the reception and had small talk with the lovely girls!

Great Place to Unwind”
Pros: I love the resort vibes :) Welcome drinks upon arrival Very friendly staff No room internet the first night we arrived. They connected me to the office wifi but I have to be at the restaurant area. The next day, and when we got back from our tour, the wifi is fixed and provided new password. I give them 10 stars for that! Free shuttle service to Alona Beach is very convenient The pool is well maintained The food is great when we ate dinner at the resto New room facilities Cons: Wifi was down on the first night (but as I mentioned, they did a quick fix of the problem) Water was salty in the bathroom - we used drinking water to brush our teeth because it had this really salty aftertaste First housekeeping was a little unprofessional when they just opened the door without knocking - but kudos to them for keeping the rooms well cleaned Breakfast selection could improve - but taste was great and the fruits were always fresh Thank you, SOGP! Til next time!

Money Saver”
We needed to downsize our cost for a night and stayed here with children. It was very nice. The room, the breakfast everything was great. I had no complaints but I was with small children and the pool was basic but clean. I would definitely stay here again. There is a shuttle to the beach every thirty minutes.
