If you are looking for a cheap and very nice place to celebrate. Try to check this place. In my opinion as a local, this is the perfect place to celebrate because it's not a crowded place and well-maintained sea shore. There is a free cottage once you are an in-house guest in the resort but on a first come first serve basis. You will witness the sunrise in this area and it's a front beach.
One thing to be improved is their road. It's a little far and a very rough road going here but it's worth it after all. 

Celebrating the 1st Birthday of my Friend's daughter ♥️🥰

We recently (January 2020) stayed at the Panglao Grande Resort in Bohol. We give this resort 7/10. The first reason for this is because the resort is not 100% “ready” meaning the road to the resort is not complete. There is a caveat to this though and that is a legal battle between the resort and the neighbors who purchased land and the road to the resort with it. This is NOT the fault of the resort and they have an alternate dirt road that they use to transport to and from, but it just makes it less “comfortable.” The second reason is for the restaurant which leaves some things to be desired. They don’t accept credit cards, they were constantly out of food (I’m talking early in the morning for breakfast when they should be ready to go for the day). The third reason is credit cards at the hotel, meaning they don’t accept them. We understand that things happen and internet goes down from time to time, but to promote yourself as a resort and not accept credit cards in 2020 is just not up to snuff. 

On the other hand...

The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating (we will give them a 9/10) with all aspects of the resort. They put us in an upgraded room when the AC in our unit went out, they were quick to help with travel off the resort and also to plan tours and excursions. Always with a smile ready to assist with our luggage. The staff really made our stay pleasant. 

Let’s talk rooms...

We had an opportunity to stay in 3 rooms during our visit. The first is room 18 which we DO NOT recommend. It feels like a staff quarters and is just not dressed properly for guests. The second was a pool side room #25 and this one was dressed properly, but had no view. The third was #3 and this one was GREAT! Facing the ocean, Private little entrance, tile floor, just good to go (oh, except the shower water pressure... they need to correct that). 

Location, location, location...

This resort is off the beaten path, meaning it’s not in the party area (Alona Beach). It was quiet at night, chill and very relaxing. The beach was usually with handfuls of people at most and not crowded at all like Boracay or Alona. The area was kept clean and the staff did a wonderful job to make sure the grounds of the property and leading up to it from the beach were nice. We have been to the party spots before and it’s all good if you are in that kind of mode, but if you want to chill and spend time with your partner this place has you covered. 

Overall we were very happy with our stay. This is NOT a Hilton, so don’t expect that, it’s a province, keep that in mind. 

Final thoughts... 

Nice place. Budget friendly. It hits the marks for what you need.

Easy, Breezy and Beautiful

Very good hotel.  we stayed in a beach bungalow.  price quality ratio really good.  clean room.  Good shower and warm water.  I would go to this hotel again.  Friendly staff.  We didn't think the hotel was bad. Nice beach.

Very good hotel

Great view and friendly staff! place is 3-5min walk to the beach which is lovely! You can stroll around and relax with nature! The resort is easy to find when you have tour or island hopping guides!!! 

Awesome place

The beach is unvelievably beautiful. Very calm, great even for kids. The sand, white and powdery. We had great weather. It was the perfect vacation except resorts nearby really ruined the vibe with their unbelievably loud karaoke singing. 

We got a deluxe room right in front of the beach. Sheets were not exactly pristine. And the bathroom smelled – think there was something wrong with their water system 

Restaurant was expensive and the food not that great. But we would walk to other restaurants nearby which we didn’t mind at all since the beach was just fantastic. We loved taking long walks at night. 

Most travellers complain about the access to the resort because of the need to walk. To be honest, it wasn’t bad at all. Didn’t mind the walk. It was just a 5-10 minute walk. And we were quite prepared for it (packed light). 

Overall, we didn’t let the little things ruin our vacation. Enjoyed it tremendously. The most annoying thing really was the loud karaoke singing.

Paradise...well, almost.

The rooms were very clean and lovely, right on the beach. We were able to use the sun loungers at the front of the resort which was really nice. Access to the resort is via the beach, approx 10 minute walk. This walk is on the sand so you may struggle with large suitcases. The staff will help you with your luggage if you ask them though.

We were told about a 25php per person entrance fee to the resort, however we were not informed prior to booking about the 25php per person EXIT fee. They agreed to refund 1 X entrance only, this was disappointing. Every day we wanted to leave the beach we had to pay 150php just to get on and off the beach (we are a group of 3). Utterly ridiculous. This should really be made much clearer at the time of booking. 

The restaurant within the resort was very disappointing with unhelpful staff. We visited for a few beers one evening with the intention of ordering food a little later, this was at about 7pm. We were told "If you don't order now then we'll probably close the restaurant". Very poor service. In addition, when we went to pay the bill there was a 10 % service fee added. This much to our surprise, especially considering we had to go to the bar to order the drinks ourselves and to ask for the bill. We visited for breakfast on 2 occasions but we're told they had already stopped serving breakfast (before 11am). 

The staff at the resort were really lovely and made us feel welcome.
Poor WiFi connection.

Amazing location. Beware of the extra fees

Would say that I am happy but I am not because I am not with my family this time. Come here for work and there are mixed feelings. 
As Fil-Am citizen I was expecting little bit more out of this property but seems like that is over and over and over again with the same things in Hennan. Didn't change at all from my last visit. 
Buffet breakfast, I didn't enjoy the room service for my dinner and the pool seems very dirty for me. I hope that the management will address properly this issues. Other than that, good to be back in Panglao. 

Could expect more

We stayed over night at this resort, however what booking sites like Agoda and Booking.com does not tell you is that this resort is in the middle of a right of way legal battle which means there is no direct way into the resort. You will have to enter through the Dumaluan Beach Resort entrance where you will have to pay an entrance fee. And if you are bringing a vehicle wirh you, pay 300 pesos for an overnight parking.

Upon entering there is a good 10 to 15 minute walk towards the resort. While I'd say the beachfront is pristine and awesomely beautiful... Walking up and down shoreline to and from the resort to Dumaluan's gate is tiresome.

Panglao Grande's view is great. The rooms are also okay but it has a hint of age especially the bathrooms.

Otherwise, everything is okay.

It's the walk that kills

A basic hotel with excellent staff. On arrival several teething problems which were immediately rectified. Shower and toilet not working. No wardrobe, coffee or tea provided however a kettle was available. Bar drinks limited, food offereing limited

Holiday Stay

A local driver said this was a good place. Not so, no easy Access it's a good walk about 10 minutes no real road. Standard room is all thatwas a available. Small room, noisy air con CR not flushing properly. Towels were safer thin. Don't clean rooms daily or change bedding unless you requested it. Restaurant ... Well the food was decent, bit they close at 9 and turn out the lights even if you're still there. Pool looked unclean so I didn't chance it. Staff mostly helpful. Overall you get what you for, so don't expect much. On the beach is the best feature. Won't be going back.
