Booked the room 3 hours before the arrival due a change of plans because of the tropical storm near malapasqua.
Everything in this hotel it’s perfect from the infrastructure to the personal. This is a recent hotel and it’s super well maintained by the staff, the rooms are very comfortable clean and functional (loved the bed), there’s a garden with a pool and I become addicted to pass lots of time there.
In the restaurant it’s possible to eat delicious food and for an affordable price.
To end this comment I would like to say thank you to the staff for making the guests feel like home, a special thanks to Miguel and the little girl at the reception. Salamat

Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Rooms are very functional and pleasant. Pool is good size and nice setting in the garden with good sun beds. Food is quite good and reasonably priced. Only downside is that it is a (short) walk over a somewhat muddy dark road to get to the restaurants and bars of Alona Beach, however the resort offers a free shuttle every half hour.

Scent of Green Papaya is a smaller resort of I think 24 rooms. It is located a bit away from the Alona beach however this gives it a more quieter and local feel.

Alona beach is around 10 minutes walk away and the resort also provides a free half hourly shuttle to and from the beach.

Rooms here are a good size, clean and generally well maintained. The hotel has a two swimming pools and a large central area to relax, read a book and catch some rays.

The restaurant serves quite a variety of food available throughout the day (can also be delivered to your room). Breakfast is provided daily and the Filipino breakfast is delicious.

The real jewel in the crown of Green Papaya is its staff. Being a smaller boutique type of hotel the friendliness of the staff is your typical Filipino good nature but also more intimate due to the size. It makes you feel really at home.

This hotel was a great find. I enjoyed it so much I went back for a second visit 2 weeks later and will be returning again in February next year. Highly recommended.

L'hôtel est très agréable
Les chambres sont belles et bien équipées (bon wifi, bcp de chaines TV)
la piscine est bienvenue
la manager Krissy est très efficace
Seule petite réserve l'emplacement (accès un peu compliqué) compensé par la mise à disposition d'un tricycle gratuit qui vous conduit en ville.

It opened this year and the rooms are very large and modern. We had two rooms and stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. A/C, wifi and everything else worked well. We did not have hot water in the showers though.

Pool is a salt water pool and well maintained and clean. Grounds are very well kept as well.

Just note that the hotel is located about a 10-15 minute walk from Alona beach. The area is very quiet. The hotel now provides a trike to take guests to the beach or other nearby areas free of charge.

The owner and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They will do anything that they can to make your stay comfortable.

The room rate included breakfast which was decent. They also have a well stocked bar with reasonable prices.

This is a great play to stay if you are looking for somewhere quiet and modern.

The room and the bathroom are spacious and with new and confortable equipments. This place is perfect to relaxe after a day in the Chocolate hills and the Tarsiers Sanctuary (on Bohol Island) or diving in Balicasad. If wanted, Ludovic, the owner, knows the good contacts to help you to organise these trips. He and his staff are always available and listenning to your needs to be sure that your stay will be perfect! A highly recommended place!!

The pool was nice however the smaller one beside it was very dirty. I don't understand why they only have 1 chair inside the room and a very small table that can only fit 1 person (this room can fit up to 3 pax). The towels were gross and the bedsheets look worn out.

Sehr schönes und sauberes Hotel. Der Service ist super freundlich und das Essen ebenso gut und abwechslungsreich. Super Standort, das Hotel ist nur einige Minuten von Alona Beach entfernt. Es gibt einen kostenlosen Shuttle in die Stadt und zum Strand. Wlan ist auch gut.

Insgesamt war es ein sehr herzlicher und familiärer Aufenthalt und man hat sich hier sehr sicher gefühlt (nachts gibt es einen Security Guard)

Der einzige Nachteil war der Abfluss in unserem Bad. Das Waschbecken hat leider nicht so gut gerochen, wenn man es benutzt hat... Schade, aber war auszuhalten!
Wir ziehen deswegen auch keinen Stern ab, weil der Aufenthalt insgesamt sehr positiv war. Auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen!

Really enjoyed staying at this resort - spacious and comfortable accommodation- nice pool - friendly and helpful staff - and excellent food.

The free shuttle ride into town is a nice touch as the hotel is a long walk away and the unmade road leading to the hotel was wet and muddy.

Used the services of the hotel for a day trip tour of the highlights of Bohol - thoroughly recommend.
