Stayed in this hotel for two nights in the deluxe room. It has two single beds placed side by side together. These beds were totally horrible!!! The foams were paper thin that you could feel the wooden slats underneath. Plus it had an undesirable stench to it. Not to mention that the pillows were paper thin too. What a relaxing... More

Very smooth transaction with checking in and out. Cons: Far from the beach and they need to put more lights along the pathway so people can easily see which... More

This has been the worst hotel experience I've ever had. After accidently overflowing the water in the sink on the floor, the hotel owner claimed that we owed him thousands of dollars in water damage even before stepping into our room. He claimed that we damaged the furniture, tiles, caused his water pump to break, and septic tank to overflow... More

I travelled with my family just last week. I reserved the room through email a month earlier and Michael Forsberg (the owner) entertained my request without any problems. They said in their website that the resort is only 5 minutes away from the beach. Yes it's true, but it's still far away. You can walk, but it will take much... More

We stayed at the biggest of the two compounds for 5 nights. The rooms were clean and very spacious, but you shouldn't expect any luxury. As we traveled in a large group, we booked several rooms in this hotrl and it looked like the furniture changed from room to room, so that you can't really know what to expect from... More

I just got back from a 3-day stay at Alona Studios Apartment Hotel. We were a group of 8 and we got two family rooms. The hotel has two compounds and we stayed at the bigger compound. The hotel is typical of the backyard resorts in the Philippines. Don't expect a luxurious hotel. The rooms have the basic necessities like... More

We stayed at Alona Studios Hotel for 3 nights during our Bohol trip with my friends and all I can say is that the place was heaven. Our apartment was very big even for 7 people and very comfortable. The room has TV, kitchen, AC and bathroom and the swimming pool is just right infront of the apartment. The only... More
