Scent of Green Papaya

2 very spacious bedrooms and big deck with refrigerator for outdoor living. Staff very helpful and friendly. Water machine at bar provided great hot and cold water. Excellent pools and restaurant. Walking distance to town centre. Driver of shuttle bus to town dropped us to the grocery store. Tour desk always available.

This place couldn’t be more perfect! First, the staff and management are efficient and incredibly kind, even to our 4-year-old child, who truly became friends with them. They met all our family’s needs every time! They go above and beyond, which we really appreciated and makes us want to come back to this resort for our next trip to Bohol. We stayed for 10 days, but the comfort provided by the staff made us want to stay another 10 days! The place is very clean. The area around the pool looks exactly like the photos. The pool is super clean, pleasant, and amazing… the water is warm! The room and facilities work very well. The location is great because it’s far enough from Alona Beach’s nightlife, so it’s perfect for relaxing in the resort’s peace and quiet. A free shuttle takes you to the beach every hour until 5 PM, except on Wednesdays. A tricycle or tuk-tuk ride back in the evening costs 100 pesos. You can also walk if you enjoy it. The resort is about 5 minutes from the airport, which is very convenient for arriving fresh and leaving stress-free. Our return flight was delayed to the evening, and we were able to arrange a late checkout with the hotel for an acceptable price. The resort has a bar and restaurant with a great atmosphere, open until 8:30 PM for food and 10:30 PM for drinks. The breakfast and restaurant dishes we tried were fresh, clean, and good, and the cocktails too. The WiFi seemed good for our basic needs. There were no power outages during our stay. Panglao is globally well-developed: very clean, good roads, and a nice vibe for both relaxing and partying. We hope to stay at Scent of Green Papaya again, we already miss that place and its staff.

I think this is the best option on Panglao Island. 1. The hotel is located away from noisy streets and the busy waterfront. A free shuttle to the beach runs every hour. 2. There are swimming pools on the property, cleaned daily. 3. The rooms are standard for the Philippines, but we were pleased with the daily housekeeping. 4. There is a cafe downstairs with tasty breakfasts (American, Filipino, pancakes), delicious beef dishes, a selection of smoothies and alcoholic cocktails — you can easily have dinner there as well. 5. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. They can also assist in arranging island tours in a comfortable car.

excellent staff- friendly and very helpful.

Clean and spacious resort with a big swimming pool and breakfast included. The staff was very friendly and the caipirinha's were amazing! We loved our room with a private entrance.
