Highly recommended hotel on an amazing island”
We stayed for 4 nights in the Sherwood Bay Aqua Resort and Dive School. Booking is including transport from the airport, but from the boat terminal can also be arranged (if you come with the boat from Cebu for example). We were welcomed by the owner of the hotel (former British) and it felt like a cozy family hotel. Rooms don't have numbers, but names of flowers. We stayed in 6 hotels in the Philippines (incl. Marco Polo), but this one stood out from the other hotels on nearly all areas. The good things: - Rooms are big, the bed is enormous, the furniture is modern, the bathroom includes a shower and a bathtub. We had a room with a balcony, with an amazing view on the ocean. - Rooms are more clean than European standard for Hotels. - The hotel has 10-15 rooms and is located out of town, so it is a very nice place to enjoy the piece/silence. - The food is very reasonably priced and of very good quality. There is a decent amount of choice and all dishes are made of good quality ingredients. The cook ain't the fastest, but if we want fastfood we would go to Mac Donalds instead. - The hotel offers tours and diving at very reasonable prices. For about 60 euro (3000 PHP) we toured through Bohol, which is an amazing island, with a private car with airco and driver for 6 hours. Another tour we did was dolphin watching and island hopping (with the possibility to do snorkling in an amazing area). We had a big boat (for easily up to 15 people), a captain and a seaman for 12 hours for 120 euro (6000 PHP) which is a standard price for the tour that can be shared with multiple groups. If you consider that the boat already uses about 60l of fuel, you realize that this is a very reasonable price. - The price/quality rate is very, very good. - Last but not at least: the people are very friendly, they know who you are, you are not a 'number' to them.

Quiet, Comfortable and Delightful”
Sherwood Bay offered and very delightful stay for our family of four. We had a two room suite with one very large bath. The staff was very friendly and kind. The owner, Enid, was very gracious and looked after our needs as though we were the only ones in her resort. The resort is a little out of the way, but that was good; it was a very quiet location on the Strait. Sherwood Bay looked like a small European hotel: quaint and relaxing. I only have two suggestions: bring mosquito repellant (they come out from 5-6p) and, if you like fluffily pillows, bring one. The pillows were pretty flat. Thank you, Sherwood Bay Resorts for a wonderful family vacation!

Very nice 3++hotel”
Sherwood Bay is a very nice out-of the way hotel excellent for a quiet retreat or honeymooning. The pool is of modest size with a bubble pool at the shallow end. It is overlooking the sea, but not a good place for snorkeling or diving-special arrangements needed for that. Reception and staff is efficient, courteous, and prompt. The location is isolated: no public transportation available, but transport is available through the office, for a price. For peace and quiet, Sherwood Bay. For "action" diving, snorkeling, beaches go to the Alona Beach area. Food at Sherwood Bay is very good. There is an added 5% charge if you pay by credit card.

Absolutely wonderful! We were treated like royalty”
Resort owners Enid & Lisa took care of us as if we were family. The staff and chef were excellent and the room was clean and nice with a beautiful view of the sea. My wife and I enjoyed the swimming pool as well, again with a great view. All the guests seemed very happy there as well. The grounds were very clean and well attended. Lisa also helped us plan an unforgettable day-trip around the island. Secluded, yet with access to a driver at anytime, we felt like we could come and go as we please, although it was so nice we spent a lot of time on the property walking and just enjoying the beautiful and scenic location. I have traveled extensively, and I can honestly say that when we left, we left not just a resort, but a set of new friends as well. Sherwood Bay Resort will definitely see us again in the near future, as the experience we had is worth repeating.

Beautiful escape from the beach crowd”
Sherwood is off the beaten path from the typical beach side of Panglao Island, Bohol. It's on the northern part of the island, so it doesn't have a beach front. To some, this may be a disadvantage but if you prefer an escape from the beach crowd, this would be perfect. And if you plan to visit the many other attractions of Bohol, staying here would be good for those nights. The resort is stunning amidst the simplicity of the environment, with a hillside view of the calm sea. The resort's owner personally takes care of the guests' needs, and this adds a quaint touch to Sherwood's intimate ambience. There are only a few rooms here, and I suggest you book the Bougainvillea room for a balcony view of the pool and the beautiful sea. This room also has a nicely huge bathroom with its very own jacuzzi, and the room itself is quite large enough for a family of 4-5, with ample space for moving around. There is access to the sea, but this is more for accessing the boats or a bit of snorkeling. If you prefer having a beach front, then this might not be the place for you.

Japanese hospitality on Panglao Island”
Lisa and her mom run a very friendly, clean, and customer-centered resort. Transport to and from the airport was provided and upon check-in, we were consulted for what we would like to see and do we could choose from a menu of options. Because I wanted to go snorkeling, Lisa arranged all-day boat transport from the hotel to Balicasag Island and equipment rental and this was very reasonably priced. I also wanted a white sand beach and Lisa arranged for transport for this as well (at Bohol Beach Club, which has a public access beach). Rooms are clean, spacious and new. Everything worked well. Japanese visitors will enjoy staying here as both Lisa (who is Japanese) and her mom speak Japanese fluently. The food at the restaurant is very good and reasonably priced, and breakfast is included in the stay. Free WiFi in the restaurant as well. I really enjoyed my stay here and will be recommending to my friends, especially my Japanese friends.

Great Hotel and Awesome Service”
it was relaxing to stay at sherwood bay and lisa, the owner and manager of the resort was always willing to help. tours were a bit pricey but the place itself was worth it. breakfast meals included were really good and although the hotel was not situated on a beach, they had direct access to the ocean. i'd definitely recommend this to friends.

The perfect place for your peaceful getaway.”
location of resort is quite alright, you will require a van/car to get you in and out. about 30-45mins drive to bq mall, ferry terminal or tagbilaran airport. so it is advisable to stock up your snacks and whatever you need from bq mall, if you plan to spend your day in the resort. rooms are very neat and clean, and the extraordinarily big beds make everything even better. we had our discovery dive, massages, land transfers etc arranged by resort manager enid. she is a trustworthy and responsible person, so you don't have to worry much when you make arrangements with her. overall, our stay in sherwood is very pleasant, and i will definitely go back again.

Absolutely wonderful”
Spent 4 nights at the Sherwood and it was absolutely wonderful. Staff is attentive and friendly, meeting all needs timely and often without needing to ask. Resort provided a comfortable vehicle (Toyota Corolla)and driver for tours, all at a reasonable price, was able to suggest activities we'd like and were very cooperative with our desires. No TV in the room was a bit of a surprise, but wasn't a dealbreaker. Breakfast is 2 eggs, 1 piece of bacon or sausage, juice and toast or rice, a bit skimpy but can double the portions for 250 peso's so still not bad. Its relatively out of the way of city life, so if bars/partying are your thing probably not the hotel for you. Would absolutely stay again.

An experience to remember”
My parents, myself and my husband stayed at Sherwood Bay for 2 nights. Let me start by saying that we have picked a better place to spend summer. Everyone we met from the moment we stepped in was friendly, helpful and courteous especially Lisa and Enid. Thank you to all the staff of Sherwood Bay in making our summer vacation worth remembering. We are looking forward to returning!

Secluded location and relaxing”
Sherwood is located away from the white sandy beaches and has a nice swimming pool. It is also quieter than other resorts. They provide lots of services to take you to the beaches and diving. We did diving, dolphin watching, chocolate hills, tarsier watching. Good experience overall.

Good place to enjoy the quietness in front of t”
Very nice place to stay in. The resort is run by an very kind English lady and she really takes the time to help you to make your stay comfortable. Also many thanks to Lisa who helped me to send the postcard in the Tag city. Although it is on a remote location on Panglao Island,the resort does provide pick-up service from and to the Airport and Port. Also, taxi can be arranged if you'd like to go out. Local tricycles are difficult to find, you have to walk about 20min to the main highway to get one. The good thing is that you can enjoy a quiet living by the sea undisturbed and surrounded by scattered local island inhabitant, which is superb.So if you have already stayed near the public Alona Beach for 2~3 days, it is nice to switch to this place for a change of taste.

Personal touch”
we really enjoyed our stay at sherwood bay. it was the personal touch and service that we received during our stay which we might have not received if we stayed in a large hotel chain. the only con of our stay was there was no sands for us to walk and able to swim at the beach. it was located away from the beach areas.

Great stay”
We had a great quick stay at the Sherwood. The staff made us welcome and the room was well appointed and comfortable. The mini bar was a revelation with reasonable prices which was a pleasant change.. The views across the bay and having the choice of pool or sea was great as it was a hot weekend and we needed to cool off. The pool is lovely, and the sea was warm and so clear, just delightful.

A Serene Vacation”
Me and my daughter enjoyed our stay at Sherwood. The owner is really kind and accommodating. Same as the staff. The room is clean and big. The place is huge also and the view from the pool is fantastic! I will surely come back there on our next visit in Bohol.

a wonderful hotel”
This hotel is very new and nice. The room is very big with cheap price. Food is not special but the price is not expensive. You can spend a long time in your bath because the bathroom is really great! The view of the hotel is wonderful as it is located near the sea. The room is quite clean but some ants are in the room. Not much driver knows the location of the hotel and there is no sign for the hotel. The driver has to ask the local people to find the exact location. If you want to go outside, you must call a hotel taxi. I think it is not a problem as bohol is quite big. You must call taxi to your destination no matter where you are. To summarize, I like this hotel very much!

The friendliest owner & hotel staff”
The restaurant serves great food everything that you order is available. The room (family suite) is very spacious and clean. The owners are very warm & accomodating I was able to arrange everything with them easily. The boat for island hopping is very big and rental was not over priced. Our overall stay was really great and I will suggest this to all our friend/ family who plans to visit bohol.
