We spend 3 weeks at Alona Tropical Beach Resort this past May. Highest marks from us! Our unit was updated, air conditioned, and we had a view of the beach. The place is really special with beautiful gardens, a unique swimming pool, and more. In the true Filipino style. The staff is top notch! They really made our stay extra special. Angel, Jiasia, and Arnel (bar tender) in the restaurant took great care of us! Mario at the beach, kept the beach clean and brought out chairs for us. Christian at the front lobby took great care of us also! Hard workers, friendly and they always made time for us. The manager Deo was so very helpful to us in every way. Also, housekeeping was wonderful! We will be back again next year! We live in Tennessee, USA.

Lovely character, right on Alona Beach
The gardens around the hotel buildings are beautifully kept and the pool is great, nestled within these gardens. You can walk from your room to the lovely white beach in less than a minute. Rooms are on the basic side but have everything you need. The restaurant has a good range of options and overlooks the beach so very relaxing. I’d recommend to anyone visiting Bohol.

Not going back to this resort due to poor service
Check-in & check-out processes were quick, and staff at the front desk were friendly. After checking-in, I tested the water supply in the bathroom, and found out that sink faucet had no water at all. I then informed the staff about this. He promised that this would be fixed "soon." My friends and I then went out to explore Alona Beach. We went back to the room at around 12:30 AM. To our surprise, the problem was not fixed. Because the front desk was not open 24 hours, I had no choice but to inform the guard on duty about our predicament. To my disappointment, the guard's initial reply was, "Sir, ..." I insisted that this needed to be fixed now; otherwise they should look for another room for us to stay. After 30 minutes of constantly following up with the guard, I finally overheard a rude voice on the other line of the walkie-talkie, "..." I later found out that the rude voice was from the admin manager, leo It took the hotel staff at least one hour to resolve the problem. We moved to another room at around 1:30 AM. Yes, early in the morning. Solutions: 1. Someone needs to be in-charge of addressing issues 24 hours 2. Person in-charge needs to face the guest to assure him/her that appropriate actions are being taken 3. Use constructive words at all times. leo was rude 4. Give "special treatment" to the guest by probably upgrading to a better room, or providing free breakfast, etc

Nice hotel right on the beach. Cafe & bar. Also, has Tropical divers on site. The rooms are a bit small but are clean & nicely furnished. The gardens & pool are wonderful. The staff super nice. I've stayed here twice & hope to be back again!

You can do way better
I wouldn't stay there again. Because I booked through hotels.com, they gave us a hut with no air conditioning. In order to get AC, they wanted me to pay double what I'd already paid. We tried a night in the fan room, but it's summertime and obviously super hot, so we paid up even though it's only an ok hotel and definitely not worth 6500php per night. The second room had plumbing issues so we had to move to a third room which was just ok. All the rooms were run down with cracks in the foundation, etc. There was a big gap under the door so all the creepy crawlies (including gigantic roaches and centipedes) could waltz right in. The more expensive room was supposed to include free breakfast but when I went to check out, they tried to charge me for the breakfast that I'd eaten. They also tried to charge double the standard rate when I asked about scooter rentals, which is just rude. I love spending money, but I felt like they were trying to rip me off constantly, which is not cool. There are wayyyy better hotels in the area. On the plus side, the grounds are beautiful and the dive shop is great. JoJo is an excellent divemaster, and balicasag island is amazing. Also the pool is nice

Very good beach front with a restaurant facing the beach. No frills accommodation but all in working condition (AC, hot water, cable). I like the less resort feel to it. Wifi can use some improvement not just in public places. Food tastes good but availability of items on the menu is occasionally disappointing. Still highly recommend.

Great tropical jungle feel. Super pool. Quiet end of the beach . Friendly staff. These qualities itself were worth staying. Good restaurant but food always took a long time. Room was corner room which seemed small. Staff said just as big as the other same charged rooms, but it was smaller. It was a newer remodled room i believe, which was nice.

Great location, not great hotel
On a positive note the location is perfect, peaceful, feels like private end of busy beach. Beach is clean and less dogs by this hotel. Cons: the hotel itself is tired and although some staff are very keen alot of them can't be bothered or just pass a problem onto someone else. Very basic rooms for the price, tip, take your own toiletries. Air con machine is like having a tractor in your room. So only go if you can sleep in heat. Construction work. The hotel was quite empty and they out us in a room right nextdoor to the construction work which starts at 7am! Not too clever... Was better once we moved room. Just a bit more effort/common sense would be good. Overall, expensive for what it is. Plenty of other choices and you can walk up to use the same part of the beach.

Good for the value
The place is serene with trees and native cabanas which is great. For the value of the room, accommodation is okay except for a VERY noisy air conditioner that competed with the tv. We couldn't sleep soundly because of the noise. Housekeeping staff has a lounging area behind our room and was talking loud very early in the morning. I told housekeeping about the noisy AC and she promised to have it changed. But while getting dressed, she came back and opened the door without knocking with the man behind her. It's a good thing that I just pulled my pants up as she opened the door. So they accommodated us by transferring us to the next room where the AC is not as noisy when the AC they brought in did not fit in the slot. The place will be a hit if they change their outdated AC and train their housekeeping staff to practice common courtesy of knocking and not talk loud early in the morning when walls are not insulated for outside noise. But restaurant and reception staff provided us with good customer service.
