Best For
Budget-conscious travelers looking for a private, relaxed base for diving and island exploration.
Bohol Sea Resort provides a serene, private alternative to standard hostels and inns on Panglao Island. The property offers a variety of rooms and bungalows, some of which feature sea views, alongside essential amenities like a swimming pool and an open-air restaurant. While the resort is well-regarded for its comfortable beds and functional air conditioning, some guests note that the facilities, including plumbing and general maintenance, are beginning to show their age. The resort is particularly popular with those looking to utilize the on-site dive center, though visitors should be aware that the beach area is primarily used as a boat dock rather than for swimming. Despite some inconsistencies in service and cleanliness, the staff is generally noted for being helpful, and the resort remains a reliable choice due to its backup power systems that ensure essential services remain operational during outages.

Many reviewers appreciate the comfortable beds, reliable air conditioning, and the convenience of the backup generator during power outages.
