Great place, especially great bar with very friendly staff. The view is amazing but quite hard to go to the hostel, and you need to pay to cross the road, thatâs a shame.
Unfortunately we did not have a good experience staying here. We were really looking forward to staying so close to the beach, but obviously understood that as it's quite cheap it would be under simple living conditions. When we arrived however, they informed us that there was no water - but promised that it would be fixed in a few hours. When it was still not fixed by 11pm, we made the difficult decision to book a different accommodation last minute and leave - as we needed to use the bathroom and shower after a long trip.
We also found a dead cockroach under the sink. If they had put some more effort on the rooms instead of putting neon lights in the palm trees outside, maybe we would have had a more pleasant stay.
They also refused to refund, compensate or help us in any way even if they did not offer the basic living conditions you need. They could have given us some bottles of water, or offered a free breakfast - anything.
We do not recommend anyone staying here.
Budget accommodation in a beautiful location. Beautiful neon lighting at night. Overlooks the beach. Great value for money but be aware it's a 300m walk from the closest car access and no hot water. Highly recommend quiet beach getaway.
Wer ein 5*-Resort erwartet, ist hier völlig falsch, ebenso alle Partyurlauber. Eine Zimmerreinigung gab es auch nicht und der Weg dorthin geht erst einmal ĂŒber einen holprigen Weg und ein wenig Strand. Aber: Es ist genau das richtige Hostel fĂŒr alle, die den Begriff "chillig" mal in der richtigen Bedeutung erleben Absolut ruhig, erholsam, unkompliziert - und das an einem wirklich traumhaften Strand. Flach abfallend, schön sandig, in einiger Entfernung ein Riff mit vielen Fischen. Wir können es von Herzen empfehlen!
Staff was very helpful and friendly but the Con is Bumpy dirt road access approx 300 meter can't be reach by car seem dangerous for elderly and children.
Pro right in front of the beach nice view
Went here on a solo trip.
ON BOARD PANGLAO is the place to be if you want to treat yourself to a little indulgence or are on a tight budget. The resort's distance from the rowdy beachgoers will undoubtedly make your vacation worthwhile if you're searching for some peace and quiet.
My stay was made to feel like a family by the staff. During my visit, I established a new family, and I have a good feeling that it will not end there.
Every location, in my opinion, has pros and cons. It's a little challenging to get to the resort from the main roadway, but this is the place where you get to experience island life, after all. I suppose you shouldn't be going on any kind of island trip at all if you aren't game.
In addition, I should say that there is room for a small adjustment in the price of food.
My stay has been worthwhile.
Onboard is still on soft launch so there are more things to improve. But the staff are very kind. They will help you the best way they can. Though mahirap ang daan. Tahimik sya kung gusto mo tlga ng relaxing at peaceful na area.
