The Golden Palm was a quiet oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle around Alona Beach. It’s too bad there is no direct access to the beach and we have to walk around for about 10-15 minutes in the heat, but otherwise the pools were great and the garden is well maintained.

I globaly recommand this sweet resort with a beautiful garden and great swimming pool of 10 ft depth. It's a kind of oasis among the crowed and typically filipino style of Alona beach. Staff and owner are nice. Food is not ecxeptional, but correct. A van was waiting for us at the pier of Tagbilaran going to the resort. Nice stay except the weather, raining everyday for 5 days in March...

We loved our stay at Golden Palm. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and kind. The garden was full of beautiful trees and plants and we enjoying spending time there and around the pool. The room had everything we needed and comfortable. It was a quiet place and an easy walk to the beach within 5 mins. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.

Hidden Gem near Alona Beach!

This hidden gem of a hotel is the perfect stay off the noisy beach, but on the water side, so just a 2 min walk to the beach. Beautiful, manicured grounds! And fabulous staff and owners! I will always return here!

This property is a wonderful oasis in the chaos that is Panglao. If I ever come back, this is where I will stay. Facilities are top notch, gardens are impeccable, room was beautiful. The service was outstanding from the moment I arrived until the moment I left. Very welcoming, accommodating, and professional. Loved it!

The grounds and garden where the nicest we have seen in the Philippines. Pools and facilities are excellent and staff wonderful. You are not right on the beach but it is worth it for the peaceful gardens and pool areas; and only a 5-10 minute walk to Alona Beach. This is a good spot to be close to restaurants and to explore some tours from (the staff helped arrange an excellent guide and van for us). I would highly recommend this spot, great value for money.

Quiet, walkable to the beach. However, breakfast buffet had barely food left when we went to eat. They had to cook and we had to wait. The steamed rice came out not fully cooked as they rushed to cook.

We had a fantastic time at this resort! The grounds are immaculate and very well kept. It's set away from the action. More quiet and tranquil. The staff is super nice and kind and helpful. We booked several adventures through them. We loved hanging out at the pool on quiet days. Plenty of space and overall really great value! Only thing I didn't like was that there weren't filtered water dispensers in the room (or a common area where you could get filtered water for free). Although, they do fill a small bottle daily and offer water bottles conveniently for sale

rented 2 rooms good for 4 to stay for just 1 night. overall the place was excellent, safe, quite and well maintained. room was large, ac was cold and water pressure was good. the place has 2 excellent pools with the big 1 having 10 feet deep which is usually rare. staff was honest enough to hold on my son’s ipad which was left behind upon checkout and had to come back few minutes to retrieve it. despite all the good, i do have a complain about how to go the beach area. i do usually research places were i go in which i read and was advertised as only 3 mins walk to the beach using the access from the hotel. unfortunately when we were there, the said access was been closed for a time due to construction done by the adjacent property. the only way to go to the beach would be a long walk like 10-15 minutes which u will go back to the main road or drive ur car, park for 50php all day parking.

Beautiful grounds but be prepared to walk a bunch

Just got back from Bohol and stayed at the Golden Palm. First off the good: -The place is beautiful. -Rooms are nice and the bed is better than expected. -AC works fine so the room is cool. -Pools are nice but the main pool is where you will go since the small one in front of the rooms is more for looks. -The staff is friendly and the owner lives onsite and you see him eating dinner with the family every night. - We didn't eat there for dinner after the terrible breakfast experience so I can't speak to the food. Now for the Needs Improvement stuff: -Breakfast is included but not worth the time. Food is cold and limited - nothing like cold eggs and pancakes. They have heated pans but dont put flame pots under them so nothing stays warm. Ended up going offsite for food after the first day. -The road to get to the hotel is not near to town and is a rocky road and to get to the beach its a trek or you have to go through the Best Western where they may or may not let you do. -When checking in after travel they make you stand there and get lectured on the rules of the place (don't waste my time and treat me like an adult!) I had to pee! Pissed me off honestly -They don't have water bottles in the room and instead have a pitcher. Which would be fine if they refilled it, they don't. You have to do it yourself? Isn't housekeeping already in your room?

The property itself was great! Loved the spacious room, cleanliness, friendly staff and pools. It's just an inconvenience that it's not beach front and the road heading to the main street is so rocky, rough and full of puddles. It's easy to trip and sprain your ankle while walking. The resort itself is lovely though!
