E L Westensee Resort Reviews

Nice, quiet, intimate resort that's perfect for a staycation. Not a very good base of operations if you plan on going out a lot though.

Great hotel and service. Staff are very friendly and nice. Will be back soon.

We really liked our hotel. Even though the location is not near Alona Beach, it was very quick to get to any point on the island by bike. And in 10 minutes you could walk down to the sea. The best beach 😂 There were no people and the water was clean. The staff is great! We arrived before check-in and they asked us for an extra fee for early check-in. But it still did not spoil the impression of the service. Everyone was friendly and quickly resolved any of our questions. Breakfast is included, very tasty. I recommend Tunasilog! There is a swimming pool and several sun loungers on the hotel grounds, you can swim in the evening or sunbathe during the day. The room has clean bed linen and towels and all the amenities. The air conditioning and fan work well. It is obvious that the hotel is new and well looked after. I would definitely stay there again!

The location is remote, but the hotel has a tuktuk (actually a Tricyle) for $400. If you have large luggage, the hotel can also send a tour bus for a fee of $1700. The hotel provides motorcycle rental or charter services. Since I rented a car and drove myself, you can ask the hotel for other fees. There is free parking but after 10 o'clock, the hotel staff will close the door and you can ask them to open it or open it yourself. The advantage is that it is quiet because it is remote. All the guests who checked in that day were European tourists. Fortunately, there was no party so it didn't feel noisy. I have to complain that the door lock is really bad. Every time I go out, I have to lock it for a long time but can't lock it... I suggest changing the lock... I suggest that you really put a shoe rack outside. I don't know where to put it... Because it was newly opened at the end of last year, the facilities are very new. There are no mosquitoes or ants in the room unless you don't close the door immediately. The bed is not soft or hard and it is very comfortable to sleep. The air conditioner is a Daikin air conditioner, which is very quiet and cold. This hotel needs to bring its own toothpaste and toothbrush. There is no package at all. All the drinks in the refrigerator except water need to be paid! The shower has poor drainage and is easily blocked. I saw that the hot water outside is a solar water heater, so the hot water supply is slow. It takes about 2-3 minutes for the water temperature to become hot. There are very few hangers in the room, only 2 are attached. There are many plugs, which are very suitable for us to charge mobile power supplies and mobile phones. There is a simple bar. The swimming pool water is very clean. The waiter cleans it regularly, but it feels that there are not many people left behind. There is only one person during the day and two nights. The breakfast is good. It is made that morning. There are not many choices, but at least there are fruits after the meal. The food tastes very good, whether it is Western or Philippine, it is very good. This price is worth living in such an environment

Beautiful, new villas. There is everything you need. Away from the noise and bustle. Good staff. There are good cafes nearby where you can eat deliciously

The hotel is very new and will probably open at the end of 2024. The rooms surround the central swimming pool. When you open the door, you will see the swimming pool. It is small, but enough for travel. The staff are polite and friendly with smiles. The breakfast has a variety of styles, but the American and English breakfasts are overcooked, and the bacon and scrambled eggs are dry. Filipino breakfast is delicious, but it’s all rice. The overall cost performance is high. The only drawback is that the water heater supply is unstable and needed repair twice during our five-day and four-night stay. But it's not a big problem for me. 

The service is cordial. The swimming pool and rooms are very clean, and the pillows smell good. The TV has Netflix. The internet is okay. It's a pity that the temperature of the bath water fluctuates from cold to hot, which is a bit annoying!

Great hotel. Found it with only one review, went to look at it and booked it right away. The hotel is brand new, very clean, beautiful, cozy, the rooms and bathroom are large, completely consistent with the photo. The room has shampoo-conditioner, shower gel, toothbrushes, hair dryer, tea-coffee, a stocked refrigerator with prices, a safe, air conditioning, ceiling fan. The pool is clean, they give out towels for the pool. Breakfasts are a la carte: European and Filipino, very tasty, not small. The hotel now only offers breakfasts, beer and fruit can be bought at the reception, other food can be reached on foot or even order grab-delivery. The hotel is a little out of the way, but if you have a car or a bike, then there are no problems. The hotel also has parking. The only thing that was strange: we never waited for hot water, it says that there are solar heaters, but the water was always equally cool (not very cold, we washed without problems, but there was no hot water). Yes, the water in the shower is fresh, not desalinated.

We were there from 26.12.24 to 30.12.24 and then due to bad weather on Barakai Island we extended it to 02.01.25. A nice family hotel. So new that the taxi driver who took us from the airport didn't know it. This hotel is for a quiet stay. All the fun at "Alona Beach" is a 15-minute drive away. Taxi, tricycle, everything costs about the same ~ 200-250 pesos. There is a bike rental in the hotel itself. 500 pesos/day. Maybe you can find cheaper, but the bikes are new and it was so convenient for us. By the way, all the photos that are presented are real: rooms, pool, even a bike. Accommodation with breakfast (from 7 to 10). Quite tasty breakfasts, though the coffee is not very good, but I'm being picky here. Apart from breakfasts, we didn't eat at the hotel, fortunately there are a couple of decent restaurants nearby. The pool is clean, there is a shower. The rooms are cleaned on request (you need to hang up a card). There is a refrigerator, the air conditioner works, there is a fan above the bed. By the way, it is very convenient, we almost never turned on the air conditioner. The contingent is different: Koreans, Russians, Europeans. There are only 15 rooms. I can safely recommend it. I gave fours everywhere, because there is always something to strive for.

If I go to Bohol again, I would definitely book it. It's cheap and the staff is very friendly.

Excellent hotel for its price. Small number of rooms. The room has everything you need, everything is clean, bed linen and towels are clean, smell delicious. We were fed delicious breakfasts. On the territory there is a swimming pool, sun loungers. Well-groomed territory. Had a great time. I recommend 👍😉

New hotel, opened only about a month - everything is fresh and nice. The staff helped to pull a hedgehog needle out of my leg, filled up the bike before returning it when we left. Very customer-oriented and polite. Pool with a "rain" function. Bee farm nearby, very convenient. Breakfasts are delicious, there is a choice. There is a transfer, early in the morning they took me to the ferry to Cebu. I recommend!

The room has no window, but a sliding glass door. The bed is very narrow, twin room. I stayed for two nights, but no one cleaned the room. It was very quiet and new, but there were small ants in the room. The transportation is not convenient. It is close to the bee farm, but it is sweaty to walk there in 30 degree weather. It costs 250 pesos to take a tutu car to Alona Beach. The hotel has its own car and can pick you up for a fee.

Everything in the hotel was very clean. When I arrived, the housekeeping staff helped me carry my luggage, which made me feel very friendly. Unfortunately it is far from Alona Beach, some tuk-tuks will charge a higher price
