We visited as a family and had 2 Cottages. The rooms were very spacious, clean and quiet. There is a kitchen but we did not use. The Staff and the Owners are very Helpful and even helped us book our New Year Dinner on the Beach. They also helped book all the tours we needed and it was very well managed. The staff took care of all our needs and provided everything we asked for immediately. The resort is at a 7-8 minutes walk from the beach but is very close to all the good restaurants in Panglao. This would be a 5 Star except that there is no on-site restaurant. But there was a restaurant for breakfast just next door.

I stayed here with my partner for her birthday and was pleasantly surprised. The location is ideal to visit restaurants and bars in Alona. Room was clean, had a mini fridge, quiet aircon and warm shower. The door used a key card lock for safety. All the staff was really friendly, including the night guard. I informed the resort in advance of my partners birthday and they decorated the room which was really nice so I could not be happier with my stay!

We stayed at Alona Swiss Resort for 1 night and we had a wonderful stay! The staff are very accommodating! The owner even gave us a complimentary beer when we are enjoying the pool and jacuzzi! The room was decent and spacious, with wifi, and balcony where we can enjoy the view. This is 5 mins walk if you want to explore the Alona Public beach. We will definitely go back!

We stayed for three nights in Alona Swiss resort. The complex itself is set in a very pleasant complex away from the noisy road, however we struggled to sleep as light sleepers due to the roosters next door. Unfortunately I can’t award more than three stars as we really did struggle to get any sleep during our stay here. Pros The host (Swiss guy) was absolutely lovely and a true gent. Location is away from the main road so very peaceful during the day Nice areas to lounge around by the pool with beautiful trees and plants to gaze at Extremely good value for money Room was a decent size considering money paid Shower was great, one of the most powerful we’ve had in Asia so far :-) The security guard in the day time was a total legend Cons We really struggled with the noise of animals, namely roosters/cockerels screaming at each other every hour from 1am. I could even hear them through my ear plugs. This was worse than usual for Philippines and Asia having travelled for around three months. Perhaps it was just the room we had however when I mentioned the trouble sleeping to the receptionist (lady) she didn’t seem very interested. A shame as the other guy (believe the owner) was lovely. The pool was also quite dirty, lots of dead flies and insects in it. Yes, to be expected in this environment however they didn’t seem to make an effort to scoop them out regularly as was the case with other resorts. Note there is no restaurant, so you have to leave the resort for breakfast etc. Shaka across the road however is a great place and thoroughly recommended! Odd bathroom design with toilet right by shower which made drying a bit of a challenge - although not the end of the world. This place is a great stop over if you are a heavy sleeper, to avoid the roosters it may be worth paying a little more for a villa / bigger room which are located in a different section. Not an option for us as in a backpacker budget. …

We stayed here for 10 nights and had a great time. One of the few places with two bedrooms, includes kitchen facilities, nice balcony. Beautiful frangipani, coconut and fan palm trees Pool was great - the bedrooms were serviced daily and comfortable, with good aircon. Reliable wifi. Having to pay upfront in cash was not ideal on our arrival. Had to fix the shower.The large 50 pesos water cooler refills were great - tapwater tasted very nasty. The resort is quiet at night as it is away from all the noisy bars/restaurants. Swiss manager very helpful and staff even found us a toaster and hairdryer for our stay and a wheelchair for a relative in another apartment.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time, pool was great - clean and relaxing, the bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the Aircon is good quality. The resort is quiet at night as it is a good 5 min walk to all the bars/restaurants, but as that area can be quite noisy this is exactly what you would want in a resort.

This review is a bit mixed since we only stayed in Panglao for two nights. My son and my mother were with me on this trip. We had never been to Panglao so I wanted to make sure we were in a good location and had our separate bedrooms. There are very few places like this. We had the 2 bedroom which was huge. We didn't use the kitchen or take advantage of the pool since we only stayed for 2 nights. The location is convenient but the walk to the main street is not pleasing (dirty, unsightly). At night was quite noisy with the clubs nearby going full blast with the music. The staff were not very helpful when we arrived. Luckily for the internet you can organize your tours, figure out transport and good restaurants around town on your own. Unfortunately for my mother she had to walk up the stairs to get to our room. She's quite old so it was not ideal. I would recommend this place for younger travelers and families looking for a lot of space and staying for more than 3 days. The price is right for sure. Next time I would opt for a higher end hotel with amenities especially if it's a short stay.…

The resort’s location is perfect for family vacation as it is a walking distance to various convenience stores and restaurants. It’s around 15-20 mins walk to get to Alona Beach. It is relaxing as compared to others we’ve seen there as you are not that near to the beach where there are a lot of noises coming from the bars and passersby. It is also around 20 minutes ride to get to Dumaluan Beach which is better and cleaner than Alona Beach. We also like the cleanliness of the place, most especially the pool and bathroom. The plants and trees situated in the resort are also a plus.
