Panglao, Central Visayas hotel rooms at the Independent

"Hot showers and great food and staff. Alona beach was just over the beach walk and not really suitable to hang out on. Had to walk up towards the end for the sand. Just a 10 min tok tok ride to Dumaluan Beach where you can use the amenities and hang out on a gorgeous beach at the Oceanica. Highly recommend doing this. El at guest services was so helpful arranging a private driver to go see the chocolate hills, man made forest, Tarziers, bamboo bridge and the bee Farm resort. Would recommend this hotel if you want to stay in town. Short tok tok to main road for shops and restaurants. Mr and Mrs Thai was awesome:)"

"It's definitely a place to relax.. so many activities to enjoy. From paddle boarding, canoeing, beach volleyball, tennis, pickleball. Staff was veey helpful and always accommodating. "

"Excellent stay; was here for three nights. Beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained property. Everyone on the staff was professional, courteous, and helpful. The resort is located just a few miles from the busy, loud streets of Alona Beach. Thus, it offers a pleasant escape from the noise and traffic. The mangrove forest, located behind the resort, is a lovely nature reserve and there is a great sunset spot at the end of the boardwalk. One of the best resorts in all of Panglao."

"Nice big hotel away from the busy tourist area of Alona beach. Nice greenery around, nice swimming pool "

"Clean toilet, near beach, rustic, not so bad for staying 2nights and the price.; nice staff, good food at their restaurant w/oceanview "
