Not satisfied. Common toilet and bathroom are stinky and very dirty. Water in pool looks dirty too. Very far from national road and rooms are quite pricey compare to other resort. Posted on FB looks good but in reality does not. Not recommended for family.

The staff are nice and welcoming. They connected us to their accredited scooter rental, which is a big help since the transportation here in Panglao is very expensive compare to other places we’ve been. The food and coffee are good too. Limited menu but it’s convenient. The term glamping doesn’t describe their resort/accommodation. It’s dirty and it smells old. We also saw cockroach which is ew! Made me feel very uneasy and uncomfortable. They also have karaoke til late night so it’s a little loud and disturbing. Nothing personal but please clean your tents.

Hello, thanks for taking time to write about your experience. We are sorry that your experience was not as great as would we like to. The karaoke is allowed until 10pm exactly, and we are always strict to that to make sure that customers can take proper sleep. We are sorry if you tried to sleep before that time. We are also sorry if you saw a cockroach, it is not unusual to see that insect even on the best resort around Philippines, even those who charge p10000 per night, i experienced that myself. Its one of the handicap of being on a tropical country, i guess you also saw mosquitos or ants. What surprises me is your comment about "dirty" and "smells old". Was the room dirty? That's hard to read because we clean the tents very carefully on every check out. Maybe you are referring about some moist smell, and that is also consecuence of this tropical weather. We change the tents every year and bleach the cloth every 3 months to remove the moist, but its impossible to have the cotton canvas of the tent perfect. We hope you like the paintings on the tent tough! I understand that is not a personal review, but when you value a place, a food, or a view you should consider how much did you pay for what you get. We honestly think that p400 per person is a very fair price for the services that we provide and the love and passion we try to transmit to our guest. I will kill that cockroach personally! :)

If you want to have a different kind of experience to the usual resort living, Glamping Alone provides it. There are no frills here. Just clean living in a bit of an oasis. The staff are superb. The food very good too. And the cost of the tent is cheap. There is free daily wifi, a clean large pool, games and a tv area. The room was clean with ts own fan. The only slight downside is that some of the neighbors were using videoke until very late at night, but this is common and not much the resort can do about it. Really enjoyed my night here with my gf.

It’s a very nice accommodation, you definitely get value for money. The place is clean and cozy. Staff is lovely and helpful, they already knew our names by day one and made us feel welcome. Food is good and there are several vegetarian options. Would definitely love to stay again.

Positive: Special and memorable glamping, in a beautiful garden, with an impressing pool. Real chill out place, where you can find friends or enjoy the silent private area far enough from noisy Alona Beach. Staff is just amazing, friendly, open minded and helpful girls and boys, managed by a cool Spanish owner. Tents are nice, and well equipped but ask for a tent with central location, much better. Kitchen is fine Definitely recommend this place Negative: A bit far from Alona beach, but if you go by motorbike or tricycle, it's just minutes. I recommend to take care of your belongings, and close your tent all the time, in order to avoid unexpected problems. The final food and beverages bill was much higher, than my orders. I had to check and systematic overview it, to reduce the amount for the reality.…

Hello Eveline, Im sorry if you had a bad experience in our place. We try our best but sometimes, as in any other aspect of the life, we can not control everything, everyone at every moment. Anyway, let me say something to clarify: -The night of your stay was a special event for some customers and while you were watching a movie upstairs on the TV area, they were on the restaurant having fun UNTIL 10 PM. It is our policy to don't allow people making noises after that time. There were at 3:30 some people who arrived from party but their noises lasted for 5 minutes. The resort can not be responsible of the wrong behavior of every person. -Our 2 lovely Labradors swim on the pool sometimes. We don't see anything bad on there. As you can see in our description we are a "pet friendly" resort and we are proud of it. They are very friendly and people, most of them, have fun with them. They DONT pee on the pool, like some persons. They DONT use sun cream that make the pools dirty like some persons. And they get a bath every week at least, so dont worry, they dont contaminate anything. Anyway, if you felt uncomfortable with that, would be nice if you inform us about it and the Labradors would be far from you and the pool. -The showers are clean everyday, several times. If some dirty person urinated there, is out of our control, but it would be nice if you inform on reception after detecting the odor. But, as i said, they were cleaned minutes after the event. -The little puppy cat have a designated area to poo. Is strange that he did somewhere else, we will check on that. But is just a 3 months little cat, he is still learning :) -As i informed you previously, your tent was available for you the 3 nights that you paid. Thank you for choosing us and apologies for your bad experience. Keep enjoying your trip :)

Had the most wonderful 5 nights here! The accommodation is great, super comfortable and clean. Food is excellent but by far the best part is the team and the owners, we had such a great time with everyone and we were so sad to leave! Made some great friends and some great memories. Plus there’s two awesome dogs and a beautiful cat! So much to see on this great island and glamping alona is the perfect base! Can’t say a bad word about the place in all honesty so if you get the chance then definitely check it out, you won’t regret it!

Words could not express how amazing this hotel is. Me and my girlfriend Leanne were really excited to stay in this hotel when we booked our holiday to the Philippine’s and it exceeded all of our expectations. The staff are amazing and make you feel at home and make you feel as if you are a part of the family. The boss was really helpful and even joined us both on our first ever discovery dive. There is so much fun to be had there, from karaoke to beer pong and flip cup- this place is a must visit if you are in the Panglao area. We will both really miss this hotel, the dogs and Wimba and the staff that made for an unforgettable 5 days in Panglao. Hopefully this isn’t goodbye but see you again in the future!!

The area is quite secluded from the crowd and the beach, which also means you get go relax perfectly in the resort, either in your tent, pool, or at the bar lounge. A unique place in Panglao with good value for money. During our stay tho, there was a power interruption that lasted the whole day, no generator in the resort, and the water lines are also highly dependent on electricity. Overall, this place is a good find, and a perfect place to just lounge and relax.
