A review of Panglao Regents Park, Panglao Island Bohol Philippines

Everything was set! Got a roundtrip promo fares good for 4 and FREE car service (courtesy of my dear father! Uy, Thanks!) the only missing is our accommodation. Luckily, my cousin Clim got a promo fare from expedia, a booking site for hotels. Advice from my cousin, just search the hotel on google and search for the best hotel booking site. You can pay via credit card or over the counter at different banks.

I am kind of person who is not fan of staying in a luxurious hotel and spend extra bucks just to sleep. I rather choose to be in fan room or a backpackers accommodation and spend only 300 pesos per day. The advantage of it is, you can meet new friends. In a vacation I rather choose to spend my whole day having a tour or spend it in a beach front feel the breeze of summer. Especially when you in Bohol, there are a lot of things to do. So our tour is usally full of activities and we need hotel just to sleep.

In no hesitation I broke my perception and agreed to booked in Pangla Regents Park. I saw online that it has a pool. Basta may swimming pool, Mahal! Haha But, I never regert any decision on staying here. Every single peso is worth your stay.

How to get there:
Hire a tricycle in Tagbilaran Airport. Not sure if how much it cost. Just tell your driver your heading to Panglao Regents Park. The hotel is 10 minute walk to Alona Beach.

How much:
We got our accommodation and booked via expedia for P4000.00 good for 4 persons in a 3 days and 2 nights stay. No free breakfast however Water 100ml per person and a 3 in 1 coffee is Free in the room. Free use of swimming pool.

So I pay for 500 per night. for an air-conditioned room! Good Steal!

Our room is good for 4 persons. You can ask for an extra towel without an extra charge if you are going to swim. Just present your ID at the counter. There is actually a free 3in1 coffee and 100ml water. However it is not enough so we brought another 600ml water good for 3 days stay. Toiletries are also available.

Advice if you will stay here: Before actually going to Panglao ask your driver to drop you first at a supermarket in Tagbilaran and get everything you need! Hindi uso ang 7eleven sa Bohol and convenience store are bit pricey. We also got some noodles to save a lot because the breakfast menu is shocking!

We stayed at the west wing just in front of the main building.

The Hotel: 

 

The main swimming pool is open up to 10:00pm and it is 6ft. I was just surprise after the 4ft it will be 6ft. The water is not cold. I don't know if it has temperature something or what.

The west wing swimming pool is only open until 6:00pm. I much more like this pool tho its only reach 5ft. It is very private even the time that in our 3 days stay we are the only one who used it.

 The breakfast is very surprising. Since breakfast is not included in our accommodation, we give a shot in their meal. The tapa or TAPSILOG meal cost P250.00 each and if you want to have extra rice, it cost P65.00 if you want extra egg prepare P145.00 (kelan pa naging P145.00 ang itlog? Ano bang klaseng itlog ito? Organic? haha) On the second day, we just got some noddles since we have electric kettle on room. Ibawi niyo na lang sa buffet meal!

Cousin: Chef's Special kase yung itlog! haha

Overall, I strongly recommend Panglao Regents Park in Bohol. It is very quiet as its not beach front where bars are located. The hotel is clean and the amenities are good. If you are looking for worth, value and location. This is a perfect place.
