Overall stay was pretty convenient. It's a few steps from the beach, but make sure to be dropped off on site if you can, because it ruined my suitcase from being dragged from the parking area to the hotel and back. The pool could use a bit of thorough cleaning, but we still enjoyed it. We stayed in a family room, and it was very comfortable for a pax of 8. We will stay again.

Great value, right on the beach, in center of Alona Beach, the band (Frank and Birdwatchers big band) plays best rock & roll I have heard in a very long time, great selection of beer at best price. I've stayed at B&D Bluestone, and South Beach Bohol hotels, but keep coming back to Birdwatchers, great staff and fun place to stay. Highly recommend.

Cozy little place that makes for a pleasant stay on the beach. Staff was great, with good food and drink. A few steps to the beach. Lot of expats visit so there’s always a familiar face. Really enjoy my stay there.

This was a great stay - property is basic but great value for the money. You get on-beach access and it doesn't get better than that. Rooms had a comfy bed, working air con, decent wifi and very helpful staff. For what we paid, it was great value. Don't expect up-market resort facilities, but the price is also not up-market. I would happily stay here again

The place is right on the beach at the less busy end of the beach. The food is fantastic. Staff is great. It's more like a beach house setting then a fancy hotel setting and thats exactly what I wanted! The price was half what the fancier hotel's charged and worth every cent! The room had a Kitchen and we cooked. One of the best experiences in my 40 days in the islands!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This would be the worst stay I have had in many years. I don’t like to leave bad reviews but I think I need to warn others not to stay here. We stayed in room one which is right next to the bar so all day and half the night all you can hear is the TVs and music playing. It is so loud, don’t expect any sleep. The bathroom has cockaroachs and mould on roof. When it rains the bathroom leaks. Shower has mostly cold water and the shower head is a dribble at best. The bed is good, air con works well. Small fridge works well. No blackout curtains so lights comes through during the night. Pool looks good but didn’t use it. They go scuba diving lessons in it also. Obviously there is a bar like four steps from the door so if your after that this would be a bonus. I couldn’t wait to leave this hotel, it is run down and not enjoyable to stay here.

Great Location!

Nice place! Big comfy and clean rooms. Shower wasn't that good but the bathroom was spacious and clean. NO BREAKFAST AVAILABLE! Despite the breakfast menu being in the room. Bring your own instant coffee as a boiler is in room. The pool is small and good for kids.

Excellent service. Lady owner was really hard working. She can be seen sweeping the ground, cooking, selling food or doing laundry. Owners are also kind to animal. Dogs and cats were well fed and you’ll never see them begging for food. It’s also a popular karaoke bar at night by the open bar

Shouldn’t be listed in hotels.com

We didn’t stay because the place didn’t feel safe, we paid for two nights but we lost our money because we didn’t feel safe. Is a very low profile place, not to be listed in Hotels.com

Ok, this property is not a resort, just a few rooms behind the bar. I liked it due to location, right on Alona beach, within steps of multiple dive shops, restaurants and suri suri next door. Room was clean, newly remodeled, beautiful bathroom, roomy with sink, mini fridge and hot plate. Pool looked ok, but never used it. Staff is the owners family, very attentive and helpful. The owner Chris is friendly, and has great connections to set up tours or private cars almost any time of the day. Only downside is that the bar up front is different ownership, and has his House Band (Hard Rock/Heavy Metal) play every night of the week except Tuesday. The Best Western next door has loud techno music or band from 6-9 and the House Band, just steps away, plays from 9-11. If you’re there to party, or plan on being out every night till 11, it’s probably not an issue. If you want a quiet peaceful place, it’s not for you. Actually even difficult to watch television it’s so loud. Make sure to bring earplugs if you want to sleep before 11 pm. As stated everything, is excellent, except for the noise level, and if you’re a late night person, that’s probably not an issue. By the way, the band is fantastic, very talented.

Please read before reservation

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW! 1. Please check check-in, out time. There will be NO staff 2. There's a rock band playing stage at the first floor. And they are playing until 11~12PM, and it's really loud so you might not have a rest. 3. Water, electricity sometimes don't work 4. It's currently expanding, and construction point is right next to your room Staff are kind, though.

We gave this accommodation two stars. The only positive was its beachfront location. However, if you’re looking for a restful night, this is not the place for you. There’s a bar right below the rooms with live music until 1 or 2 AM, and in the morning, construction noise starts early. We booked for three people but were given just one double bed and a very thin, uncomfortable mattress as an extra. Overall, not a great experience.
