Excellent Hotel ”
Villa Umi is the best boutique hotel that I've been to so far. Everything about here is just perfect. The view, the amenities, the food, the ambiance create the best place to relax whether you are with your family, loved ones or even by yourself. Among all the good things to say about this hotel, I believe it is the people, the staff and their excellent service is the reason why Villa Umi is one of the most promising hotels in the island. I wouldn't be surprised if one day, this place would be one of the top hotels not just in Panglao but in the whole province of Bohol. Thank you for making my family's vacation very memorable, Villa Umi! We will definitely come back and even recommend you to our friends and family. Kudos!

Private resort”
Villa Umi Panglao Beach Resort is a private resort located several miles area from Alona Beach and away from all the traffic. It's a brand new building which only has five rooms. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Showers had warm water and brand new aircon units. The resort beach area was kept very clean. There is no pool! Not much to select from menu. There is a bigger resort near walking distance which I recommend going to for food and live music. I will note that this resort is at the end of a unfinished road so you have to walk with your luggage to the resort by going through the beach area. The resorts near by are working on finishing the road. Overall it was a very nice resort which provided peace and quiet with 24 hour security and clean facility. The staff was very helpful with accompanying with transportation. If your looking for small quiet romantic resort then I will recommend this place again.

Excellent Staff & Well Maintained Resort”
Love the staff! They're super warm, accommodating & helpful. They only have about 5-6 rooms at Villa Umi, so the staff are very attentive, willing to help with whatever you need. Plus, the staff do a good job of maintaining the beach in front of their property, and you can tell just how much work they put into keeping their place in tiptop condition (the other beachfront resorts beside them pale in comparison). Their beds are super amazing as well! One of the most restful sleeps I've ever had! They don't scrimp on pillows either, as the room had tons of extra pillows! They have a huge bathroom too! Honestly, I don't think there's a need to stay at a big, flashy resort in Panglao. Villa Umi just has this quaint charm that I think is perfect for those just wanting peace and relaxation by the beach.

Lovely stay!”
We really enjoyed stay in Villa Umi. The beach is right in front of the hotel and staffs were super nice. The only one bad thing is there is no road and you need staff’s help to carry your bags and you should go to another resort to take a taxi. Other than that, it was a perfect stay!

Excellent beach & staff”
We stayed there for 4 days. We initially considered something at Alona Beach and we were lucky with our decision. Visited Alona Beach for 2 hours (disaster!) while Villa Umi was exactly what we were looking for. Small villa, with amazing beach, peaceful, friendly staff willing to help with any need we had.

Excellent Location, Great Service”
Villa Umi was an excellent holiday destination. The location was excellent, the staff Jason, Jake, Harry were very attentive and helpful. The view from the front is breathtaking. Aqua water stretching waist high for 60 metres and warm. Couldn't think of a better place for a quiet, relaxing holoiday.

Awesome Resort, great staff and 5 star service and sumptuous food”
We enjoyed our stay at this resort. The staff are very attentive and accommodating to our needs. They organised our tour and the complimentary airport dropoff and pickup made it a smooth travel for us. Our beachfront room is comfortable very clean and spacious. Can’t fault this place. We will stay here again. Highly recommended. My only recommendation which probably apply to all the resorts in Bohol is the plastic water bottles and straw. I hope that they will find an alternative to minimise the plastic waste and stop using the small water bottles and plastic straws.

Nice sea view ”
Nice to have breakfast on balcony with sea view. Good service from port to resort and back. You need a bike ideally to enjoy the island and nearby town. Negatives: no hot water. Too cold on occasion. Had to pay unfriendly security guard to pass through adjacent resort ( refunded by Villa Umi). General comment: breakfast was nice but fruit juice would have been nice. We did not try dinner because beer was 140 Peso for a can of Red Horse. Next door was only 70 peso for 500ml bottle, so we ate dinner there or in nearby town.

A true paradise”
Beautiful beach, right from our room. Room was on the first floor. So there was a little very small ant, but room was very clean. Delicious breakfast. Friendly staff. A surprisingly delicious mango shake! Villa Umi was a real heaven. We were so peaceful and happy everyday. I will be coming back next time.

Beautiful and Clean Beach Resort but there are some cons”
This beautiful, newly built resort is very clean, fresh, & nice. Because it is a small resort it also doesn't feel crowded or busy. The room is very nice and almost at par with a 5 star north American resort with an amazing view. There currently is no access to the resort by road or sidewalk. The staff seem young & inexperienced yet they are accommodating with assisting you to and from the resort. We enjoyed the free use of canoe/kayak. We appreciated that they washed and dried all our sandy sandals for us before we packed them. We loved the music they played & enjoyed the atmosphere. The welcome drink was also very special! With all that said, I contractedTraveller’s Diarrhea after eating Lunch and dinner here the first night. As you can imagine it is not a fun way to spend a vacation! In order to do our Island tour I didn't eat the whole day. I would expect if I am eating at an expensive resort such as yours that this would not happen. They eventually emailed an apology.

Dear Tiffany, Thank you for taking a time to write a review about your stay in Villa Umi Panglao Resort! As of now, we don't have a direct transportation to the resort but a land transportation from Tagbilaran City airport/seaport will bring you to a beach (near Amarella Beach) using our brand new speedboat you will embark about 1 kilometer away from the hotel and there you will disembark into the speedboat right in front of Villa Umi. All the way, your luggage will be carried by our staff until you reach the portals of the reception. Yes, you are right that the staff are young and fresh but now they are well-trained, detail-oriented with personalized service. In our resort, we assist any problems especially diarrhea as highly needed. We look forward to welcoming you on your next visit in Bohol! Thank you. Best regards, Villa Umi Panglao Resort
I really want to go there again :)♡”

I am very sorry to have changed my schedule and to request services early in the morning. Thank you all.

Amazing place and location ”
We stayed here for a week and we are so pleased we did. It’s a lovely villa straight on the beach with amazing views. The beach is amazing, white powdery sand and warm water, it is shallow so you can wade out a fair distance. It gets busy with locals on a weekend but is quieter midweek. The restaurant is fabulous and great value for money and the staff are amazing. Rooms are a great size, mini bar, toiletries and views that you normally only see in magazines. We would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Nice staffs, a bit pricey”
Booked a seaview room so we really had a great view. They also helped us with our city tour and island hopping which is great as we booked it just a few days before we get to Bohol and they gave us a nice driver and boatman. It’s only a small resort with a few rooms so cant say much about the facilities. Found the room a bit pricey though as we booked from another hotel in Cebu for half the price but the room is more comfortable, new and modern. The foods were also just ok, small serving so we found them quite pricey too. Complimentary breakfast isn’t buffet (we had buffet on all 3 other hotels weve been to during this travel). Also asked if we can check out a little later so we can complete the Island hopping tour but they said we could not, so didn’t really find this worth the money weve paid.

The most relaxing beachfront”
I will always choose this hotel location (Dumaluan beach) over the well-hyped Alona beach. The place is very peaceful and makes me sleep well at night, and I can wake up with a relaxing view in the morning. The area is not so commercialised, which means the long stretch of white fine powdery sand beachfront is truly enjoyable. Upon arrival, we have to walk a short distance going to the hotel since there is "Road Right of Way" issues with a private land owner. This is not an issue for us since we get to explore the beachfront, and the hotel staff is ready to help. The room is very spacious for a family of 4, and the interior/terrace has a relaxing view of the beachfront. The food tastes good as well, although a bit overpriced. Special thanks to Kuya Bryan for treating my feet when I got stung by sea urchin. (Please wear aqua shoes always when going farther the beach where there are lots of seaweeds.) Special thanks to all the staff for answering our queries and cater all our requests.

Excellent”
Booked this last minute and stayed for 2 days. The place new so it was nice and the staff were very helpful. Because it's new, other people on the island don't know where it is, so I would recommend having the property staff come and pick you up from the Ferry or airport. The front beach is small but nice and you can walk easily up and down the ocean front. Food was good as well. If they get the road finished into the building it will be a big plus for the location. Would stay here again.

Amazing beach, friendly staff”
We really enjoyed our stay of 5 nights, the staff were really friendly and really loved our daughter. We came from Siquijor, so the price hike on food was a bit of a surprise but it is a really lovely place to stay. I recommended walking across the beach to the right, turn right again at the public section and walking up the hill to the Italian at the crossroads. It's clean and offers something different as you are a little stuck for choice on this place u less you take a tricycle or hire a moped I lnto town. Theservice was great, they help you with your bags to your room and back for nothing extra (thank god!) As it's about 1/4 mile from the van drop off! I also recommend checking out the sunset there, the colours are amazing!

Hidden gem”
Lolevly place, secluded location. We walked in after spotting it on agoda and can safely say it's way nicer than the surrounding places in same price range. Excellent stafff, very welcoming and extremely helpful. Lovely stretch of beach, well looked after. Whole place newly built, very fresh, well working quiet ac and huge bathroom. Free shuttle to help find it, as it is quite tricky to get to without instructions. Highly recommended!
