"It felt calm and uncrowded, peaceful throughout. A gentle breeze moved through the property all day, adding to the ease of simply being there. The thoughtful service and sense of security made it easy to fully relax."

"New hotel well placed between main land and beaches of panglao. Look into renting your own transport as there is nothing in walking distance."

"the experience was incredibly pleasurable for us."

"Its a quiet and relaxing place. Far from busy Alona beach. The food is awesome! The room is big and rustic feels, had a hard time sleeping for some reason. Just dont like the placement of the door and bed. Avail their massage, ang sarap!"

"This place was one of the best. We had everything we needed in the house and more. Even shnorkels and life vests, we rented the car stright from the owner. They have pool cleanner on a dauly base. We will be back."

"This is actually an AirBnb type place. Not a problem, just something to be aware of. I had a a plan to "leave my bags" at the hotel because I arrived long before 2pm check in. But I discovered that it's just rooms with self check-in; you get the key from a lock box and let yourself in. Fortunately, my room was ready and I could already occupy the room. Again, not a bad thing necessarily, just be aware. The room was very clean, modern, felt cozy and nice. Very local area, middle of nowhere, with a chicken farm 10 meters away (bring ear plugs...) It's really in the middle of nowhere so expect to walk or somehow find a tuktuk to shuttle you out of there. However, the guest manager with I was emailing was very helpful and even arranged for a motorbike to be delivered to me. Overall nice place, would recommend if you want something peaceful and quiet."

"I recently stayed at the E.L. Westensee Resort in Panglao, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The resort itself is very cozy and charming. I think part of its charm comes from the fact that it has a small number of rooms, which creates a quiet and intimate atmosphere. The rooms were spotlessly clean and, importantly for the tropics, completely free of any unpleasant local smells. The on-site restaurant also served delicious food, which was very convenient. However, what truly sets this place apart is the staff, and in particular, a young lady named Montessa who works at the reception. She is an absolute gem! Montessa went above and beyond to help us with literally everything. She assisted us with arranging transfers, recommending restaurants, and booking our ferry tickets. No request was too small or too difficult. I have traveled extensively in Thailand and Vietnam, and I can honestly say I have never encountered staff as genuinely kind and helpful as Montessa. In a very short time, she made us feel so welcome that she felt like a friend we were sad to say goodbye to. Because of the beautiful atmosphere of the resort and especially because of Montessa's outstanding service, I would love to stay here again. Highly recommended!"

"Location was very good if you want to have a nice view, but otherwise it was expensive to take a car to the town. The room and veranda were very good. The food was not good, I order a spaghetti carbonara, and instead of bacon it was SPAM, On the pizza same thing - SPAM. I order a beef tenderloin, and that was very hard - the worst I ever try to eat. Food one star, and the rest 4 and 5 stars."

"The best thing about the place was the very friendly owner. Any question I had she answered patiently. I wanted to book a day tour and she literally did everything for me and had it ready. Same when I wanted to go diving. A sweet and helpful woman. The place’s location is right on the water. A beautiful place to watch the sunset. But, it is very far from anything and the road nearby is pretty terrible. The room was nice (they upgraded me for free), but the WiFi didn’t work in the room and there were many ants in the bathroom when I first arrived. AC was great. Bed was great. Not really any staff around ever which was kind of weird to be honest. The place has its ups and downs but owner is so lovely."
