Thanks to Pam/Jose and their staff. They really go out of their way to accomodate their guest. While it may appear I am an easy reviewer, I am NOT. I am very selective and we have a saying, we save where we can so we can spend where we want. I have been fortunate to have a Filipina girlfriend and... More

We stayed here for two nights before embarking to Camiguin. The service is without fault, the rooms are clean, only WiFi in the room was a bit of a problem. For the price of the room a real bargain. Will definitely stay again there next year. More

My good friend and I stayed here very recently for two nights. For the price, I did not expect the room to be so clean, in order, and well-maintained. The hotel staff were really nice and the tour package they offered was reasonably-priced. I will definitely stay here again in my next trip to Bohol. More

My wife and I arrived on a late ferry from Cebu with no motel reservations. A local couple on the ferry recommended the El Portal Suites, so we decided to try their suggestion for one night. The motel was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the restaurant decent, and at $22 USD per night, the price was excellent. We had... More

Great place! Great people! At a not so expensive price. We had an unforgettable experience at Bohol not just because of the place itself but also the people who are very friendly especially at El Portal Inn where we stayed in. We definitely recommend El Portal Inn to everyone who wants to visit Bohol. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/398895_2552244758044_1011655385_32196175_1569817251_n.jpg More

The hotel is clean, cheap, rooms are big, my only gripe is the aircon units need to be upgraded as they are quite noisy. The hotel is well located and there are cheap eateries nearby. Wi-fi and airport/port transfers are extra conveniences that add to the charm. I would stay here again when staying in Tagbilaran City. More

I did enjoy my stay here although after reading the reviews I expected a 5 star hotel. It was not as clean as I expected with some decor needing replacing. The food was pretty good on some occasions staff was polite only at mid day,maybe they had not woken up. would I stay here again? No I would look for... More
