Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
I have stayed at the older building many times. This was our first time staying in the new building. The rooms are tiny. Very clean. Not vey comfortable. I have no idea what they were thinking. So much space wasted that could have been used to make the rooms bigger. The staff are amazing. The food is excellent. I will stay in the older building from now on.

NO sea views at all from rooms here at all. The ocean breeze rooms are simply first floor. The only ocean view is from the 1st floor bar. Staff are lovely and helpful. Reasonable pricing for such a tourist focus resort. Fish is expensive along the beach, but a variety of food available for all. I would stay again but don't over pay for something like a sea view you cannot get. See photo of the" ocean breeze view" staff on e again are lovely, clean nice rooms. Enjoyed but don't over pay.

This review is for the restaurant only. We stopped there for dinner. Ordered Thai shrimp dish and a Thai prawn dish. Service was slow and the waitress could not answer any questions about food. For example they have a section of “Sizzling dishes” we asked what the dishes were made with. They didn’t know. We asked , “sweet, sour, spicy?” 3 wait staff didn’t know. It wasn’t a language issue . My GF is Filipino. Food came and it was an appetizer portion. The shrimp was maybe 6 small pieces. Medium size. The prawns were the size of jumbo shrimp. All completely shelled . Rice was extra. Water was extra, Way over priced for tiny portions.

Disgraceful service. Food was very poor and overpriced. Then they overcharged us and reduced my wife to tears. Continue to accuse her of underpaying. Manager was worse and had poor attitude as did stay. If accommodation is anything like restaurant be afraid, very afraid.

We ate at Hayahay Resort for dinner. The red Thai beef curry consisted of undercooked potatoes and beef that was closer to beef jerky than a texture of what had been brewed in a curry. Moving onto the pork bbq, this was similarly hard to chew to the point that we couldn’t eat it at all. Lastly, our burger bun was hard to the point of being fossilised. I would highly recommend on your next visit to Alona beach at Panglao that you walk an additional 20 steps either side of this restaurant and experience something that is edible.

Good location if you want to be on alona beach (it's a bit crazy because it's a public beach, annoying vendors). It is right on the beach next to really good massage ladies. Staff is friendly. DO NOT pay extra for the ocean view room, they do not exist. After finding out that I paid $10USD extra a night for something they don't even have, I was irritated that they also charged me daily to use a blow dryer. The restaurant is caustic with nice but poor service, food never came out hot or timely. There are much better places to stay near by. I'd recommend a different beach, then just visit Alona beach. Room service was good WHEN it made it to our room (about every other day). Cheap towels. Nice pillows. Comfortable king bed. Tiny rooms with nowhere to put anything. Nice that they have a table and chairs and drying rack outside the door though. …

This place became our main restaurant due to their amazing sizzling seafood dishes. The place is located on the beach. My father and sister fell in love with the sizzling shrimp while i ate sizzling fish and squid. The new year drinks were also great. The mango float (dessert) is also a must.

Very friendly staff. Rooms were not as good as hotel rooms but the property is exactly in front of the beach. Very accessible to bars if you want to enjoy the night life. Rooms are ok if you are looking for a place just to sleep while you are away all day exploring Bohol.

Right on the beach close by to restaurants, however no noise from nearby bars... We had a pool/garden view room. Room itself was good, quiet A/C and nice hot shower, also plenty of storage space with shelves.

-We stayed here from 15-18 july 2019 in a group of 5 (added an extra bed to one of the rooms) -We were allocated Room 8 and 10 which are both on the lower floor on the same level as the reception area. Room 1-7 are on the uppper floor and room 8-11 are on the lower floor. -OVERALL: The price justifies what u get. Do not expect luxury and flamboyant amenities (there are close to zero) but expect a place where you can get sleep -ROOM TIPS: Request to avoid room 8 and room 7 if possible. They are at the dark end of the corridor on each level (the resort has 2 levels) and mozzies like to hangout around that corner hence the chance of mozzies entering your room is much higher when you open the door. our friends in room 10 had no issues. -Room 8 also has toilet floor tiles that are not in the best condition compared to room 10. -Request for rooms on the upper floor of the hotel because they let more light in and seem less dingy + more airy PROS: -very clean rooms for a beachfront hotel and for the price -drying racks outside each room by the door for you to hang clothes -complimentary water everyday -shower heater works and with good water pressure -location is amazing!!! not a "quiet and romantic" location but great for young people like us. super near good beachside restaurants (we recommend oasis restaurant and the bohol bee farm restaurant, avoid the ISIS thai restaurant) and also 5mins walk from convenience stores selling alcohol, snacks (including 7-eleven and mcdonalds) etc. Note that the hotel is located along the beachfront and is about a 3min walk from the road where your transport will drop you off. -we were actually planning on staying at one of the more secluded resorts (cliffside resort) but they did not have dates available. hence we booked this hotel instead and boy am i glad we did. it would save alot of transport costs as we would not have to constantly take tricycles to the beachfront where all the restaurants are for dinner! -aircon works :) very important! haha + room has a fan too! turn on both if you're feeling hot and sweaty -rooms are cleaned and made everyday. on the first day when we entered room 8 the floor was somehow really oily (? someone must have split tanning oil or something) and on day 2 we requested for them to clean it and they did clean it really well! CONS: -expect the room to feel a little more humid because it is a hotel by the sea -personally, my pillow was really soft and i hated it... but i should have asked for a change of pillow. the staff are very willing to change linens if you ask. i asked for an extra blanket sheet because my friend kept stealing my blanket thru the night and they gave it to me really quickly without any fuss -toilet flush is very weak in both our rooms. need to press and hold the flush for really long until everything is flushed in. avoid throwing any toilet paper inside due to high clogging risk -no hairdryer -lighting in room 8 was quite bad. it's mostly dim yellow light and there's something about dim yellow light that makes everything seem more dingy. Room 10 had white light which was brighter. TIP: open up the curtains to make the room brighter!!! -there is only a ramp up to the hotel area (above the restaurant) and it is really quite steep so for older folks/those with children please beware and assist your travelling crew as needed. we are in our early 20s so we didn't really mind. -the place for you to "wash your feet" before going up the ramp to the hotel area is merely a bucket of smelly water which we stopped using after awhile, so we had to rush and rinse our feet once we entered our rooms (room floor became a little sandy)…
