near to panglao airport, vegan restaurant, coffee at the bar was great.
There is yoga activity everyday , the price per session is 200 pesos ( if I remember it right )
There is no tv. The toilet is weird - it is open. So if you use the toilet, your roommate can hear you do your " stuff ". The toilet bowl smells too so you have to put down the cover.
The staff ( ladies ) were a bit aloof - hardly smiles.
Room cleaning is not automatic, you have to request.
Shower is not consistently strong. You have to take shower early or late so you have the strong water supply.

Un superbe endroit avec un personnel agréable.
Je n’y ai malheureusement passe qu’une nuit.
Logement très confortable au bord de la piscine.
La nourriture du restaurant est excellente mais vegan. Pour moi c’était parfait. Des cours de yoga sont donnés dans l’établissement. Les cookies sont excellents! Il y a également de l’apnée pour ceux que ça intéresse.
Dommage n’y avoir passé qu’une seule nuit.

La zona común fue muy cómoda y limpia, y el personal fue muy amable siempre. Tienen un restaurante vegano muy delicioso. Puedes rentar moto en el hostal y también tienen escuela de Apnea y ofrecen yoga todos los dias
no me gusto: mucho calor y solo un ventilador en la habitación compartida, el baño podría estar mas limpio. Si quieres agua, te toca comprar botella de plástico.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The pool is super nice and clean. Very relaxing atmosphere

What I like most was the ambiance, surrounded by big trees which is awesome. They have an area where you can grill too, super cool. The staff were super nice too, they helped me rent a motorbike. One thing more, I upgraded to the Deluxe room from fan room.
Mosquitoes haha but no worries good thing there’s mosquito coil in the nearby store.

I'm a vegan solo traveller and this small piece of paradise is exactly what I needed! From the delicious vegan foods right inside the resort, the hammocks, to the pool, and the best part? There's a beautiful white sand beach that's just 7mins walk from the resort!
Plus, the vegan food prices are sooo worth it compared to the prices in other vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Panglao. I loved all of the vegan dishes. Especially the chocolate mousse, banana pancake, carbonara, and bolognese!
The staff are super helpful and friendly too. They can assist you in whatever you need from renting a car, a motorbike, to transportation to and from Alona, Airport, or Tagbilaran port.
Oh, and did I mention they also have freediving activities? So cool! They have balicasag, napaling, and plane wreck fun dives. They are all professionals and I felt very safe while doing the fun dive. Photos and videos are free too! Definitely a GREAT DEAL!
I would love to come back here to this paradise again and again!
I can't think of any.

The staffs are very friendly, but the accommodation conditions are very poor. Firstly, the sheets were dirty, and when I got a replacement, it smelled bad. The lack of soundproofing made it noisy, and the entire room felt stuffy. It's far from Alona Beach, so I don't recommend it.

It was the best stay that we had in Philippines! Property is at the quite location - close to the very nice beach.
The design of our room was amazing! It was beautiful, spacious, tidy and very clean! The whole environment of the property very well maintained, the swimming pool was clean - we really enjoyed our morning swimmings!
Staff - the team was something else! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! On the first night we even were invited to join their team movie night. Staff was recommending places to visit and also gave us some travel tips.
Food - VEGAN/VEGETARIAN friendly place! There is not a big choice of vegetarian friendly places. This place has one of the best chef! Food was DELICIOUS!! Fresh food was cooked daily including desserts, we even were lucky enough to try new recipes - chocolate mousse and cheesecake topped with mangos!
The place is also offering different kind of free-diving tours - this is must do!
The only thing that I could mention - poor Wi-Fi signal inside the room.

Nice swimming pool
Big room
Coffee and water in the room when you arrive
Possible to boil water in the room
Nice staff
Family friendly = eventual kids playing outside your room and you can hear everyhting like you were with them. I wanted to sleep and kids were awake untill 1am. (but this is not anyone fault except maybe the parents)
Expensive and bit hard to get a scooter for me.
No place to chill when it's raining
No hot water and the shower wasnt working good
Cats crying in front of your room and coming inside and impossible to get them out! Good for cats lover

The staffs are very friendly and accommodating. The food is good and if you are planning to take a freediving course,(under blue freedom apnea) this is the place to stay.
The place is not so clean. There is no hot and cold shower in the bathroom.

Nice pool, friendly staff. Kettle provided in room.
No generator when the power was cut off for several days in Bohol, and water was cut off also along with the power. Staff helped to provide candles and pails of water for bath. No common kitchen to heat food.

The staff was very nice and helpful.
The scooter we rented was very good.
The pool was nice and clean.
There were a couple of small, but bad things that add up to a not so pleasant stay.
The bathroom had a lot of stains and looked very run down. Pipes were leaking, etc.
There was no wifi in the rooms.
The walls were very thin, so it was noisy.
The room smelled bad.
The power didn't turn off, when we took the keycard out.
The breakfast was very bad and not worth getting up for.
The location is very far off and there are no restaurants close by, so you need a scooter for everything. The hotels restaurant is not good and overpriced.
The beach, that was about 10 minute walking distance, was not very nice and quite crowded (obviously not the hotels fault but note worthy I believe).
They give out refillable bottles, which sounds great, but they are tiny, so you have to refill all the time.
