For the price this resort is everything you would need to have a relaxed experience. The staff was very kind and extremely helpful. It had a feeling of coming home every time I came back from going out. The swimming pool is very enjoyable. Over-all, Bohol Sea Resort was a very positive and memorable experience. I would definitely come back.

This is solid 2.5 rating hotel. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable.. WiFi is slow inside the room. Nice pool and restaurant although the food could be better... water pressure in shower is weak .. rooms have a fridge and safe.. market is across the road .. 5 minute trike ride to Alona beach or you can walk... about 1.5km... trike only costs 100 pesos .. I like this place, good value for the money .

Lovely and very colorful hotel. The room was clean and very comfortable - as it's all in bungalows, you feel a lot of freedom, if you don't feel too sociable. They have a nice pool (though we didn't use it), and whilst it is set on the beachfront, it's not the nicest one, and whilst we were there you couldn't walk or swim there. If you're after pristine beach, you do need to go to Alona. It's not too far from the main stretch of the beach and town, though not quite walkable (we had a bike) If you don't mind the extra drive, and want nice, comfortable and peaceful hotel, this is certainly a great choice

The resort is in an area away from the main city center which is nice if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Everyone is very kind and accommodating. However there are not really any other restaurants close unless you drive somewhere.

Very good choice for Panglao
Good choice of hotel with a pool. Service is good and staff helpful. The beach in front isn’t nice at all as it’s occupied with fishing boats and also quiet shallow. The hotel is abit further way from the main beach for the ones who like it quieter.

Bungalow style of a hotel. The room is simple but is clean and cozy. The swimming pool is decent enough; the lounges are my favorite part. The restaurant serves very good food. Best of all, the beach is just at the back of the hotel. Nothing to complain, really!

It was very clean. Rooms were well air conditioned. Staff were very helpful and attentive. It was quite a bit out from Alona itself a 100P tricycle ride each way. Couldn’t do much swimming in the sea due to the numerous boats docked. But lovely food, facilities and staff! Enjoyable stay!

Location is ok, beach wasn't good
The hotel is overall not too bad but, be warned that the beach there is terrible condition. There is no one yes, but for obvious reasons. Maybe we went there at a very unlucky time. The rooms are OK, but there has been an episode of broken hot water for the bathroom. It took them 3 attempts and more than 18 hours to fix it. Ultra frustrating.

Beach front is not suitable for swimming
The beachfront was such a letdown. It's not good enough (or clean enough) for a swim. Not a lot of food choices in their restaurant and the quality of the food is meh. Their personnel were great though.

Lovely bungalows right by a small beach. You have to go quite far out if you want to swim though. There is a dive centre here with very helpful and welcoming staff. The staff in the resort are all very friendly. It's a 1km walk to the main street where all the restaurants are or a 100 peso (£1.20) ride in a tricycle. So it takes a few minutes to get to Alona resort where all the bars and nightclubs are but it's extremely quiet in the Bohol Sea Resort itself. Would highly recommend if you want some chill time but then have the option to go out for food and drinks.

The resort was very cute with a lovely pool on site. The hotel restaurant was ok food and similar price to the other places. There is nothing super close by so during our 2 day 2 night stay we felt a bit stuck. It’s about a 15 minute walk to Alona Beach area which isn’t too bad but at night gets very dark to be walking. I would recommend getting driven back to the resort in the dark. The resort also has happy hour and was very helpful in booking information for us. The AC and bed were reasonable and the room had a nice little patio out front as well. I would stay again.

Bohol Sea Resort was great, amazing pool, delicious restaurant, we had amazing massages in our room and it was overall a great experience. The staff took such good care of us, laundry service was excellent, housekeeping was great. We wish we had more time to go diving as the team seems very knowledgeable but we explored local beaches and the island instead. Great stay!!

Good spot for a scuba-cation
We stayed a few nights and liked it. The staff is very nice, good pool, plenty of snorkeling and scuba options right from the hotel. Next time I will wear a full wetsuit though since the jellyfish were out in full force. The bathroom left a bit to be desired but for the price point it was fine. The room is quite small for 2 people but totally manageable. Alona is only a 50 peso trike away but I think I preferred staying here because Alona is quite crowded. The hotel's beach is not for swimming and has a fair amount of litter scattered about. But again there are other beaches within a 10 min walk or $1USD trike ride. Security was mindful of people coming and going and I felt me and my belongings were quite safe. Thanks!

Great stay by the beach, quiet and clean
My boyfriend and I loved Bohol Sea Resort and the view you get during sunset. We were greated with a dink upon arrival. The beach is not for swimming, just for relaxing and enjoying the view and fresh air, or having a massage when it;s a bit windy. 12min walk to Alona, or just take the tricycle, there are many passing by. We didn't try the restaurant here, but the room was well decorated, it had hot water and complimentary toiletries, Ac and fan. the TV was working well (in Cebu was terrible). They also offer complimentary bottles of water daily. They clean your room daily and eveyone is very friendly and helpful.
