Hayahay Resort is a tropical paradise nestled on the shores of Alona Beach in Panglao Island, Bohol, Philippines. It has been a preferred accommodation of leisure seekers and diving enthusiasts because of its scenic location and proximity to famous diving spots in Panglao, Balicasag, Pamilacan, and Cabilao islands. Other water adventures include snorkeling and dolphin watching. This Panglao Island beach resort has modest facilities but extends great comfort to its staying guests.
We arrived at Hayahay after spending 2 weeks in Palawan where we stayed in some really nice resorts, so on arriving we were a little bit hesitant because of the older, tired room (and no view of anything really) but as it turned out the location made up for all of the shortfalls. Just a short note on transportation, we had arrived at Cebu airport and paid P270 for a taxi to ferry terminal 1 where we were charged P10 for the taxi to come into the port with our luggage which was great. We opted for the open air class (P450) rather that the inside tourist class (P500) which provided a covered seating area and is a good choice. You also are charged the port fee P25 pp and a baggage fee P50. On arrival at Tagbilaran we arranged a tricycle to Alona Beach for P300. Note that you…

We didn’t expect too much coming in to this hotel but liked a lot about it. It’s in one of the best locations and the rooms are comfy. Yah there’s a few quirks like the wifi being weak and the rooms not being cool enough, but sometimes I think people forget when they come to these countries it may not be up to our normal standards. I would recommend this stay if I had friends coming here.

Visited Hayahay five years ago. The clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and package rates (room, diving, and food) comparable to last visit. The dive shop is a lot smaller. All dives (five in total) were with five or fewer divers which I liked. Saw other dive parties further down the beach with over 20 divers on the boat. Equipment was very good and dive master accomidating as to what type of dive you wanted. Food at the restaurant was good but be careful when picking out your seafood. A lobster I choose was dated and the meat was to old. Prawns were the best and as good as I remembered them. The ambience of Alona Beach has changed from very international (european, south pacific, asian, some western) to almost all asian (korean, japanese, chinese) and three times as many…

The resort is in front of the white beach. At first me and my husband have dought because we thought that we are lost cuz in our booking it is Hayahay Beach Resort but when we arrive their its a Hayahay Resort and Restaurant so when we check it out we never thought that we need to go up so that we could check in so thats it. In the lower part is Restaurant and the upper part is their Rooms . In speaking of their rooms we are amaze because its clean and big they have nice toilet and shower the housekeeping clean everyday they have hot and cold shower over all its perfect forme and it is budget type also.

My partner and I chose Hayahay for our 6 nights stay in Alona, mainly because it was next door to a dive center. I’ll mention the only two positive aspects: tasty caffelatte and right on the beach location. And now for the rest, where to start.. We chose a fan room, which must have been a joke. The ceiling fan wasn’t even working, and when offered a stand up fan we got brought an old, rusty and dusty one that also barely moved. The outside of the hotel is painted in black and the sun hits it constantly, becomes an oven. The internet is quite a joke, don’t say you offer WiFi if it takes half an hour to load the news page. The rooftop where we wanted to get some sun, wasn’t set up with anything, an umbrella my partner tried to open had several cockroaches were crawling in it. The…

If you want to stay in the best location in Alona beach then Hayahay is your best choice! Hayahay is much cheaper than most of the resorts in Alona but the place was relly nice! It is located in really good (if not the best) spot in Alona and you only need to walk out of the resort to get on the beach. Its really nice that you can enjoy the white sand and relax on a sunbed while still being able to use the WIFI. The Staff was really friendly and our room was a positive suprise! It was really clean and nice looking. Only minus was that there was no ocean view but that was no big deal. All in all Hayahay is a really nice place and totally worth recommending!

Dreadful food. I chose pad Thai with shrimp which was horrible covered in a sweet and sour thick sauce. Ordered white wine and asked if it was chilled. Was told it was. Needless to say when it arrived it was warm and un drinkable so back it went. Service also mediocre. Staff very indifferent.

Clean room of reasonable size. Very helpful and friendly staff. Restaurant on site. It is right on the beach, with magical sunrises & sunsets. Also good for boat and people watching. Bear in mind though cars cannot go right up to the hotel. This means that guests have to drag their bags for 5 minutes on a strip of sand.

There have been two reasons why we choose this hotel. First it is next door to Sierra Madre Dive center (our choice) and as we stayed during the Chinese mid autumn festival Alone was very booked and not much else available. Did we regret it? No Hayahay is a typical Asian Hotel in the lower price range, so don't expect too much. But regarding the price we got a clean room, working AC, not too much noise form the bars and restaurants and quite nice staff. When you are a diver, all you need is a good bed for the night and this we definitely got. The only critique is that they serve breakfast only from 7:30 onwards, this is too late if you want to be at 8 at the dive center as the kitchen is rather slow. But you will find other solutions in the area. I usually too a short walk to…
