Bohol South Beach Hotel

Since my originally booked hotel was unresponsive, and as a woman traveling alone I had concerns about safety, I ended up booking this hotel without having much prior information. I stayed here for 4 nights, and I’d like to share my honest experience 🙂 The staff always greeted me with warm smiles, which made me feel comfortable and welcome. They showed great patience and determination in trying to resolve any situation, never giving up easily. Grab works very well here — both car rides and food delivery were easy to get. The location is convenient for accessing tour operators. Contrary to some reviews, the swimming pool was always clean during my stay. There is no elevator, but the stairs are not steep, so it wasn’t too difficult. The beach in front of the hotel is nice for relaxing and lying down, but not ideal for adult snorkeling. However, it seems suitable for young children under 7 years old to play safely. The hotel layout is a bit different from typical hotels, so it may feel slightly confusing at first. Breakfast offers three menu options: American, Filipino, and one additional option I can’t quite recall. If you have an early tour and can’t have breakfast, you can request a free sandwich in advance. I also discovered that you can enjoy a nice massage at a nearby place outside the hotel. Thank you for the care and hospitality. Wishing you continued success 😃

Staff were so nice, place was cool too. Will definitely book again just in casee.

The hotel have a very beautiful sea view. The staffs all very kind and excellent service , only the room the toilet a lot of mouldy ,shower head not work well and the safe box can’t use .

Under renovation but place not bad. Still a good place to stay

A very frustrating experience. Prefer to book a different hotel rather

Hotel room was nice, staff was great, food good, but the water in the shower upstairs was barely coming out. And we want to go swimming at the beach but we never did coz it was dirty the whole time. Wished they would have cleaned the shore and get rid of the seaweed. They just throw it back into the water along with the trash. But we like the hotel and the room.

It is unfortunate that I have to write this and it does not bring me joy to do so. We ended up leaving a night early to cut our losses because of the unpleasantness of our stay. TL;DR Inhospitable, unclean, and overdue for a renovation. This place is run down and overdue for an audit. Main issues: 1. Cleanliness - bathroom full of mildew, easy bleach cleaning could have solved this. Plastic signage covered in mildew needs replacing. 2. Damaged furnishing - broken cupboards, ceramic wear, faucet, shower. 3. Inhospitable restaurant - after a long travel day we had hoped to dine at the restaurant. They offered, with attitude, to make us pizza.. instead of offering a full menu. After we declined they suggested we use GRAB to order food. We had issues since we had to download the app and add our cards for the first time. Problem on GRAB end, resolved with tech support. But we had to go into town to get dinner. 4. Dirty linens - sheets had stains, upstairs tablecloths had holes, rust spots on silverware, bleach stains on ALL towels provided to us. Things that should have been replaced seem to be in rotation and left a sour taste in our mouth about the rest of the housekeeping. 5. Toilet seat in room 210 was cracked- safety issue! It was also growing brown bacteria from the cracks indicating long term neglect. 6. Missing remote - only one AC remote for two units. 7. Malfunctioning safe - forcing us to carry all valuables Front desk ladies were apologetic. Look elsewhere
