Nice bungalows but a bit off the beaten path, fairly far into a dark alley. Pictures online show a pool and tout a wonderful restaurant and bar called Ken's Place. Neither exist following an apparent fire in August of 2023, and the property didnt contact us to let us know of these missing amenities. They were also unwilling to make any changes to our reservation.

The hotel was very pretty, staff was always nice and helpful a bit of a distance from main road but nothing mayor. Rooms were nice and comfy. Food was very nice, loads of different beers options which my partner loved. It had a Pool table and they also do yoga which was nice

The place is nice and it’s peaceful. It’s a couple of minutes from Alona beach. I like that they have their own motorcycle rental and they can pick up or drop you off to the seaport/airport also for a fee on their tricycle. The staffs are friendly and approachable.

Quiet, comfitable stay only 10 minutes to beach
Quiet, clean and reasonably priced accommodation not a great walk from the beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. Motor scooters available for hire on site that were cheaper than the main tourist area. Great bar but only order-in pizza. Only down side, no pool and very dark walking home at night with no street lighting.

Dear Guest ! Thank`s so much for your kind words about our place. We enjoyed having you here. About the street lights, There are very bright street lights along the road. But it happens that they are off occasionally. But rest assure, Panglao is very safe for walking home at night. Best regards, Team Pawikan

From the moment of arriving, the service, atmosphere and cleanliness of the resort was something that really stood out. A well equipped bar housing plenty of various craft beer options sitting in front of well laid out Bungalows. Location wise it was ideal being 1km from Alona Beach so it was close enough to the action but quiet enough so you’d have a good nights sleep. Scooter hire is available from the resort (recommended) and the staff are friendly enough to give you some great suggestions for attractions, beaches, bars and restaurants. Particular shout out to Pam. Thank you for your kindness and guidance! Will be back again.

Cute little bungalows a short walk from the beach and all the action in Alona beach! There is a great expat bar on site called Kens bar where if you are a craft beer guru like myself will be very pleased as this might be one of the larger selections of craft beer (local and belgian) and liquor selection that I have seen throughout most of the philippines! The staff is beyond friendly and Lynn at the bar and Pamela go above and beyond to give you tips and pointers on where to go and what to do around, or just to chat with guests when having a drink at the bar after a long day in the sun! Rooms are cozy and new! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

The resort is decent for it's price. Don't expect anything luxurious and you will be fine. The room was clean but the bathroom had some signs of a need for remodeling and the mattress on the bed was a bit hard for us, otherwise everything was as we expected. The staff was great and that compensated for the small short-comings. The location is also pretty good - a 10 minute walk to Alona beach - although we were definitely not the crowd for that beach - it is horribly touristy and nothing authentic to find there - hire a scooter and drive to other beaches for a better experience. All in all I would stay there again.

Great customer service
We booked two nights at the Alona Pawikan Hotel. We missed our flights and ended up flying in a day later than originally planned. Alona Pawikan’s management was kind enough to shift our booked days a day forward so we didn’t lose a day’s booking and have to book an extra! :D The hotel itself is modern and clean. It’s located within walking distance to the heart of Alona Beach but secluded from the hustle and bustle. The one thing we wished the hotel had provided was free breakfast included with the booking.

Great service and amenities!
My aunt and I had a beautiful stay at this bungalow-type hotel in Panglao Island. And we need not pay for too high a price for such, although their rooms and service were in top shape and spot-on, respectively. I highly recommend this place especially to those who wanted some peace from the busy Alona Beach (although it's still near there) or to those who'd like to experience a really nice bungalow alternative for a hotel. Kudos to the couple who owned Alona Pawikan Resort; they're very accomodating and generous, even.

New Bungalow style boutique hotel
I was hesitant to book this hotel due to the lack of reviews but I am so glad I did. This is a new hotel consisting of a few individual bungalows. It's on a side street so it's quiet but you are a short five minute walk to the Main Street and another 5 to the beach. Each bungalow has a cute outdoor sitting area with two chairs, strong AC that is actually controlled well by the remote, which is rare in Asia, has hardwood floors, a mini fridge with an area to set food or snacks, soft towels, hot water with a rain shower head. Beds are very comfortable and wifi is strong enough to stream Netflix. I've been traveling around Asia for 5 months and this is one of my favorite properties that I've stayed at. The owner is European and very friendly. They even let me check in a tad early, gave me restaurant recommendations, even got me a tricycle so I could go to the main town so I didn't have to flag my own down. I ended up staying an extra night.
Cute Do not disturb sign.

渡假村的一切都很好，但介紹寫離海灘近，實際去的時候卻發現近路已經被封鎖了只能繞遠路，到海灘要走20分鐘，很熱又帶著行李的話很不方便，原本是看在離海灘近才訂這裡，去了之後覺得這個價錢不值得，離海灘遠卻太貴了，房間也比想像中小很多

尊敬的客人 ！ 很高兴你和我们在一起。 你是一个很好的人。 关于您的评论。 步行至Alona海滩不需要20分钟。 步行到达市中心需要4-5分钟。 要到达Alona海滩，需要10-12分钟。 这写在我们在预订网站上的描述中。 一句忠告。 在预订酒店客房之前，请务必阅读酒店描述。 然后你知道会发生什么，可以避免混淆。 这适用于世界各地的酒店。 不仅在菲律宾。 关于物有所值。 如果您在我们的价格范围内尝试更多酒店，您会发现与其他大多数酒店相比，我们实际上是便宜的。 几乎全新的房间状况非常好。 现代和更好的家电。 也更清洁。 我们希望许多评论者在旅行结束后撰写评论，以便他们看到酒店之间的差异。 这对我们酒店来说更公平。 祝福和愉快的旅行。

Perfect place to stay
숙소 체크인할때 카운터에 핸드폰을 두고 갔는데 친절하고 양심적인 스탭들의 도움으로 찾을수있었어요 너무 감사했어요 숙소는 알로나 비치에서 걸어서 딱 20분거리이고 약간 좁은길을 통해가야하는데 그것만 빼면 완벽해요 숙소가 필리핀전통가옥같은 hut 느낌이지만 내부는 완전 모던해서 편하고 부족한게 없었어요 일반 리조트가 아닌 색다른 숙소를 원한다면 완벽한선택일듯요!! It was my best hotel in my life, cause I forgot to bring my phone on the counter, and after an hour my friend sent a message to the hotel, and they found it and kept it safe. I really appreciate it and they are really nice people. The location is 20 mins far from the beach. This hotel looks like a hut, so it's very unique compared to other resort. I think it can be traditional. but inside whole interior is really good and modernized, so I was really comfortable staying there.

가성비 대비 갑입니다.
정말 저렴한 가격에 이용했고요. 한국 모텔 비수기 가장싼 가격입니다. 방갈로 독채에서 깔끔한 인테리어와 청결한 숙소는 정말 좋았습니다. 방갈로 5채밖에 없어 어떻게 영업이 되나 싶었는데 카운터에 바가 있어서 항상 서양인들이 즐기고 있더군요. 단점은 거리입니다. 알로나비치까지 15분은 걸어야 하는데, 이건 상대적인것 같네요. 여행와서 와이프랑 도란도란 이야기하면서 걸으면 금방이고, 피곤할때는 멀게 느껴졌습니다.
