Hotels near Masanao Hilltop, Bohol Island

Very nice discovery. Very pleasant and attentive staff. Ideally located equidistant from the main attractions of the island (Chocolate Hills, Loboc river, Tarsier Sanctuary, etc.). Please note that there is only one common toilet block and no water point or WC in the tents (very spacious). The only regrettable point is the absence of a real restaurant nearby. You have to go by scooter (rental recommended) to the small town center where you can find a few sellers of skewers that are not always appetizing. On this point, please note that it is possible to request a barbecue with meat and vegetables from the establishment staff. A restaurant should soon open on the premises. Many thanks to Ray, the boss, for driving us to our ferry pier. We will keep very good memories of our stay :)

We booked two different rooms for the 2 nights we stayed (as that was all that was available) - a superior room and a deluxe room (paddy view). The deluxe paddy view room was spectacular and the view is amazing. The bathrooms in each of the rooms are outside so be prepared to encounter a few bugs/spiders. The hotel itself is wonderful, the food at the restaurant is delicious and caters very well for vegetarians! The hotel also offers tours, we took the firefly tour and we absolutely loved it.

Very beautiful and tranquil location. Room was pretty basic, with one mattress and a wall fan. Could be quite hot during the day but fan does the job pretty well at night. You have to bring your own toiletries ‘cause they don’t provide any but bath towels. Service was really nice, the owner was very friendly and accommodating. Even gave us discounts on some of the river activities. You could also rent a motorcycle which is a must to tour Bohol. Wifi only works at the lobby/dining area, which is fine, cause mobile data works pretty well. Overall, very good stay, very beautiful river which is right in front of your accommodation.

The staffs were friendly and helpful. There are things missing like the TV, Bidet in the bathroom. The bathroom overflows with water and gets a lil bit messy. The breakfast is great and the pool. The room is big. Also the only cons there is no phone when you need something you need to go down every time and inform the front desk. They offered free service to bring us to airport since we stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. The experience is great.

We had a very pleasant stay at Henann Alona Beach. The hotel is big, and it was very busy during checkin, however they have so many pools that you don’t notice the amount of people. We had a great time in the poolbar at happy hour, and spent all our time at the resort! Restaurants could use a bit more healthy options and breakfast some more vegetarian (there wasn’t even a plain yoghurt or granola bar, and more unhealthy choices) options. If you go out of the resort you directly walk into a street full of bars and restaurants! Gym was very well equipped and rooms where good. Please improve the curtains, since they were not blacking out the room.

The rice dishes are indeed very affordable, thumbs up. Good points: The transportation is really convenient. There are all kinds of famous restaurants right away. You don’t need to take a taxi when you go out. You only have at least 500p left in the taxi fare every day. The bed is great and comfortable. Most hotels in the Philippines are really not that good. The air conditioning is sufficient and super quiet. Wi-Fi is independent in each room, so friends who have network requirements must be OK. The disadvantage is: the breakfast is relatively simple, only sandwiches, but it is delicious and there is free juice. When I first moved in, there was not enough hot water. But after telling the waiter, the waiter took a needle and poked it a few times, and it was cured immediately. There was enough hot water later. It is a very cost-effective hotel and highly recommended.

The hotel was newly built, so the room condition was great, and the infinity pool and swimming pool felt smaller than Alona. The breakfast didn't have many options, but it was okay, and the room cleaning was very slow. It was nice that I could walk to the city center and get around in about 10 minutes.

Seven of us, all hailing from Bangladesh, had a three-day stay at Solea Resort and Hotel in Bohol, commencing on September 21st. Our visit was official in nature, as we were accompanied by the esteemed Governor of Bohol Mr. Erico Aris Aumentado. During this visit, I had the privilege of receiving a gift from the governor intended for my German boss, which I later brought back to Solea Resort. However, on the morning of the 23rd, as I was preparing to check out of the hotel and packing my belongings, I made a distressing discovery. Two bottles of wine had mysteriously vanished from my room. Swiftly, I reported the incident to the front desk and the duty manager. They promptly conducted a thorough investigation, which included reviewing the CCTV footage, examining my room, and inspecting my luggage. Their scrutiny revealed that, apart from carrying an umbrella once, I had never taken anything from the room. Throughout my stay, my room was diligently cleaned every day by the hotel's cleaning staff, whom we were familiar with. This made the disappearance of the wine bottles all the more baffling. After three days of inquiries and discussions, I decided to approach the duty manager once more today. To my astonishment, he mentioned that they had seen me carrying bottles on the 22nd at the lodge, as per a WhatsApp chat he provided as evidence. However, when I challenged this assertion, he swiftly retracted his statement, admitting it was a mistake. In light of this unsettling experience, I feel compelled to caution fellow travellers about the security of their belongings while staying at this hotel.
