This is one of our favourite hotels in Panglao. It is not big and crowded like the biggest hotels (Amorita and Hennan) and the lower price is a bonus.
There are some cheaper hotels to choose between, but if you want beach front, close to bars and restaurants this is the place I would recommend booking at.

We had two cottages booked well in advance at the resort for a mixed family group. Communication in advance was very good. However we expected two adjoining cottages with balconies which we didn't get- our cottage was close by to the others but had no balcony. Hey ho.

The cottages are simple but cute- stairs to the upper bedroom are steep though. The report is small and right on the main strip. Be aware though that the beach here is really narrow and you cross a busy corridor of street vendors etc. The sea was cloudy too. Biggest disappointment was the pool area., Its pretty but there is no space to chill by the pool and only 4 loungers which were never free. The pool is well maintained but very deep with no shallow end.

Staff were universally friendly and went out of their way to assist. Breakfasts were basic and sometimes a little slow but we enjoyed the fresh fruit and eggs etc. The bar did a great G and T on the beach.

Please though can the managers stop emptying and sorting the bar recycling bins outside cottage 07 and 06 every morning so early. No need to do it there!

We didn't eat there in the evenings but food looked and smelt good.

We used the pool and beach facilitates of the Hennan Resort five mins down the road a couple of days which was a treat. Deffo book the Virgin Island and snorkelling trip and well as Bohul Island

We have recently spent six nights at the Pyramid Beach Resort in Alona Beach and have mixed feelings about the property.

On the positive side - the location is great, close to everything - shops, restaurants, bars, dive centres etc. The hut we were allocated was very spacious with a modern bathroom. There is a nice swimming pool deep enough to deter families with kids (3 meter with no shallow end) so perfect for a quiet afternoon. Receptionists are very friendly and helpful. Also the porter service to the main road is very convenient.

On the negative side - the cleaning staff are the slowest I have ever seen. With just few huts available we had to wait until 4pm to get the cleaning done. There was also a lot of noise coming from a maintenance room located just behind our hut. There were workers right in front of the hut from early morning until about 6pm doing some refurbishment (wood paining) talking loud with no respect for the hotel guests' privacy and relaxation.

Also, the photo showing sunbeds on the beach is misleading. The hotel does not have a private beach and does not offer sunbeds on the beach. In fact the hotel is not even directly on the beach. There is a sand-covered footpath between the hotel and the beach with a constant stream of people- tourists, vendors, dive operators. That photo should be removed as it provides an incorrect image of the hotel suggesting facilities that do not exist.

Overall, it is a good hotel if you do not mind noise and slow cleaning.
