Definitely recommend staying at this resort if you’re looking for a low key relaxing vacation. Wish I stayed longer!

We had a great time at this fantastic property. The staff have been absolutely amazing, always with a smile on their face and ready to help. The atmosphere around the resort was very peaceful, the room was spotless and the direct access to a private beach was a bonus as you don’t need to fight for a place. The swimming pool was perfect size and there is also free snorkelling equipment available as well table tennis, kayaks and hammocks. You can arrange tours around the island at the reception - we did the countryside tour. There is only one restaurant but it is exceptionally good with a beautiful view so no need to look further. I could go on and on but all that’s left to say is thank you to all the staff for making our holiday so special, really a gem of a place! Salamat!!

This property has become one of my favorite for a lot of things, can’t wait to go back

The staff had been very courteous and helpful. They make you feel at home.
The food in the restaurant was excellent.
4.5
Paradise. Great for people who like peaceful boutique hotels. Excellent Filipino hospitality, gorgeous natural beauty, tastefully designed and elegantly maintained property, delicious food. It was delightful wherever we set our gaze.
We loved the Amarela Suite.
4.5
Art and antiques abound in a well decorated resort. Lush and green, wonderful pool and a beachfront; you can't help but be impressed with the layout and excellent staff. My suite was full of light airy with two balconies. If you want quiet at night, this is it. View is amazing: WiFi and cable TV not great but available. My one disappointment was their wine selection: terrible! Next time I will bring my own, but in their defense the wine vendor they used went bankrupt, although a 4 star resort should do better. Yes, I would come back because it truly is a great place to visit Panglao.
4.5
The resort is fantastic. The environment is great. Everything is beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. They helped us to arrange the transportation to the airport and the city center. The restaurant is the best on the island. Don’t waste your money on alone beach for the food. Their restaurant has the next Filipino food. The hotel also has the private beach. So beautiful!!!!!

Friendly and accommodating staff

It's comfortable
It's very nature-friendly
The bed was too small to be comfortable
The staff is very, very friendly (they take care of the customer's check-out time, breakfast time, etc.)
There's a private beach, but it's not a good environment to enjoy
The breakfast is excellent
It's free to pick you up and drop you off at the airport

The resort offers a great ambience, design, food, amenities and most of all the people who serve and provide what you need for your stay.
The pick up in the airport was stress-free and easy. We recognized the driver in a yellow uniform with Amarela signage, and approached us with an umbrella and a big smile going to the van.
We arrived at the resort and warmly welcomed us with drinks and precious smiles of the staff. We were checked in right away upon arrival though our check-in time should’ve been in a later time. Lots of help with our luggages and the spirit of hospitality radiated throughout as we walked into our room.
The design of the resort is elegantly beautiful and the concept of old Bohol is quite fascinating. I love the local art and woodwork that show how rich Filipino culture and traditions are. The whole place is surrounded with vibrant beauty of landscape and colourful flora.
The amenities and facilities offer a sense of the place that is easily accessible and entertaining.
The service in the restaurant was superb, and the food was prepared meticulously and with delightful to our palate.
The staff made our stay comfortable and their amazing service truly what makes this resort a five star and exceptional. From the room service, restaurant, even the art gallery and by the beach—all well-staffed and their assistance was remarkable.
My family really unwind and enjoyed our stay here. Beach is not great though but not far from Alona beach. 5⭐️

More private.

It is a very beautiful property and the staff was so friendly. It is an older property without an elevator but I think this added to the beautiful rustic atmosphere. We had one female girl at the restaurant that never smiled and seemed to be a little unhappy with her job but she was not disrespectful so it’s all good. Lol she also did not wear a name tag on her shirt as the others did. But all and all it was a great experience and we will go back.

I loved the Amerela Resort! So much love in every little detail. Amazing garden and pool area with direct access to the beach with sunbeds.
The rooms are lovely too, big comfortable bed, nice shower with good water pressure (which is not a given in the Philippines) and little balcony with sea view.
We stayed in room 302 but I think all rooms fave the sea.
4.5
Excellent resort. Beautiful views of the sea and gardens. Nice comfortable rooms. Fantastic, helpful, friendly staff. We ate breakfast and dinner at the resort. Food was superb, my compliments to the chef(s). Nice private beach, swimming pool, hammocks, chairs, net for badminton. Just very pleasant overall. Very satisfied. Yes, you are away from the town and need to have transportation but that's what resorts are about.
4.5
Beautiful, cozy boutique hotel with a gorgeous view and excellent service. Rooms were clean and spacious with a comfortable bed and AC which made the room heaven to come back to after a day out in the sun. Nice pool and a few steps to the beach with a fun sandy area including games and a slack line. Overall really enjoyed our stay here.

Its a quiet ressort unless guest with childrens are there. The breakfast buffet could have more choice. Beach is good but dont think your gonna dive in wave and clean water. Its not a beach to swim easily as its shallow and full of sea weed. Still you can walk and find a good spot. Theres no wave there. Staff is welcoming and smiling ;)
Food is good but portion are small.
Overall is 8.5 out of 10 for me.
Had a great stay!

Everything was great.
However, nothing around the resort, so needed to use tricycles to go to Alona beach. You can call one from the desk.
I loved it.

This is marketed and displayed as a 4* star hotel. When you get to the hotel they clearly have 3* star certification showing.
The prices they charge are like theyre s 5 star.
This is a ripoff and misleading ratings.
The hotel is set in a quiet location with green gardens with acess to panglao beach.
The rooms are very basic. The western food is awful. I was served frozen fritters which were cold on my plate. A club sandwich with virtually no filling and a pizza which i wss toldwas fresh later discovering that it wasnt when questioning the taste.
EXPEDIA SHOULD TAKE RESPINSIBITY AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME A HOTEL IS RATED HIGHER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS.

The property grounds were beautiful. Pool was nice. Lots of staff to take care of your needs. WiFi was really bad. Water temperature for showers were fluctuating, constantly going from cold to hot...very irritating. Eggs made to order was the probably the only part of the breakfast I thought was really good.
4.5
Great hotel. Quiet.Good service. Food is ok.

Excellent hotel with very helpful and polite staff. We stayed there for only one night.
There is a clean and organised private beach as well as a swimming pool. The rooms are well equipped, but the shower is a bit dated.
Overall a very pleasant experience, top restaurant.

Probably the only resort in Bohol that’s not jacking up their price and taking advantage of the Boracay closure. Very quaint and quiet. Loved and enjoyed our stay. Very attentive staff and friendly. Will go back!

Amarela is such a quaint hotel with it’s own private beach, perfect for a relaxing vacation. It’s not within the vicinity of Alona but you can still take a 15 minute tricycle ride to get there. Breakfast was of quality except for a few items on the menu which we ordered on different occasions. I would also suggest that restaurant staff check on the pool area once in a while so we don’t have to go all the way up to order food. Rooms are nicely maintained and are well ventilated. I truly enjoyed and will surely be back!

Almost everything was perfect in this beautiful boutique hotel,nice decoration,nice room(samia),perfect beach,lush environment,attentive and well English spoken staff.Restaurant with potential,offers a very good quality and varied a la carte options but ambiance and music at nights should be improved to make it more romantic,inviting;now is too bright,looks like a cafeteria.Breakfast is quite simple and repetitive,no natural orange juice offered,which is a must.
