I been in in this place for quite many times and I just simply love it here! Their staffs are nice and smiling, the foods are delicious and a pocket friend price. It is located at heart of Alona beach and is so easy to find. Its a nice place for relaxing, sipping a bottle of beer (you'll surely add for more) and watch the people having fun on the beach. I love their Carbonara and the Trudi's delight. Trudi's Place caught my heart. :)

I stayed at Trudie's Place in Panglao on a tour of Bohol, very central opposite the beach, Room was clean with Aircon and Satellite TV.
I had a room at the back which was a little quieter (a good thing at night)
Free Wifi downstairs.
Did not eat there but the place was always busy which I think is a good sign.
Good place to use as it is central for everything happening plus lots of diving centers and boates for hire.
Check out the dolphins if you go as they are a "must not miss" site.

Stayed in the lovely Trudi's Place after checking out from Hayahay (see related reviews by Bimmerman135) and finally found what we were looking for.

The hotel has 8 rooms that provides most of the basics: Hot & cold fresh water shower (Note: most of the hotels in Alona have salty water showers); Remote controlled AC and TV: Free WIFI; Own balcony (Deluxe rooms have balconies overlooking the beach while Standard rooms have balconies overlooking the backyard) Full sized bed with proper pillows and clean sheets. It may become a bit noisy at night due to the band playing in the neighboring resort, but it wasn't a hassle for me.

This hotel is run by a really nice old lady who has built-up the hotel from honest to goodness hard work and industry. After reading from an old newspaper article framed on the wall, we discovered that Madame Trudy was one of the original settlers in Alona who stared out selling dried fish, then made her name as a fantastic cook who later on opened her restaurant serving budget friendly meals to residents and tourist.

This hotel has been a labor of love and it shows in all the details and the fantastic service that it provides to its guest. Noteworthy is the kindness and hospitality that Madame Trudy, her children and her staff would provide their guest. This hotel is a fine example that a hotel needs not a 5 star rating in order to provide fantastic service. On the basis of that I would definitely recommend staying here.

My recommendation does not however end on that basis alone, I would most certainly recommend having your meals here. The food is great, the prices are reasonable and the servings are sumptuous. The freshness and quality of the food is consistent, the service quick and prompt and the ambiance of having your meals al fresco and within a stone's throw away of the surf guarantees a satisfying experience.

And though I went to Bohol for the diving, this hotel has no dive outfit. But I would definitely stay again here. NB: I dived with Choi of the SIerra Madre Divers and their service and gears are par excellence.

Found this resort just from passing by, and it was an amazing find. Apart from good value for under 2000 with breakfast for 2, Trudi's Place has a great history behind it. Met the owner Trudi and she is one awesome lady. She is one of the original settlers on that beach, from providing good education to her children by selling fish to putting up this beautiful resort.
I would definitely stay here again and will not hesitate to recommend to friends. Food is good as well.
