This hotel was my choice for a diving trip to Bohol. The breakfast was perfect for Chinese tastes and very delicious. The room had a balcony with a drying rack, which was super convenient for washing and hanging clothes after diving. The surroundings were also very quiet, so I had a really good rest.

The hotel's location is really out of the way. It's almost impossible to find a taxi, and even a tuk-tuk is hard to come by. The room itself had a ton of issues; the amenities were disgusting, and you had to wait over fifteen minutes for hot water. There were hardly any guests. I originally booked for five nights but tried to check out immediately after seeing the room. They wouldn't let me cancel, but thankfully, with Ctrip's help, I managed to get a refund for three nights.

The kids absolutely loved it, especially the room – it was super comfortable and clean. Plus, you could step right out to the pool! The mini-mart even had Chinese instant noodles, which was a huge hit after swimming. And the food ordered at the hotel was perfect for Chinese tastes!

The swimming pool is super clean and long. After returning from the sea in the morning, I would relax in the pool after my afternoon nap. It's also just a 3-minute walk to the popular Barwoo restaurant. If you go at 4:50, you can be part of the first wave and avoid the queue! ❤️

The hotel's exterior is beautiful and very photogenic. The room was clean and comfortable. Bohol is still quite underdeveloped, so we experienced power outages a few times during our stay. Luckily, the hotel has its own generator, so it didn't affect our rest at all! The small hotel we stayed at for the first two nights didn't have a generator, which was a bit of a hassle. 😂😂😂

Been in the Philippines for a few days and it's been meat every day. Today I ordered a salad at the hotel. It was affordable and tasted great.

The room isn't very big, but it's great that it has a balcony. It's super convenient for drying clothes. I need to wash clothes every day, so a drying area is a must-have.

I found this hotel, Dolphin Bay, online and booked it because the price was amazing. I was genuinely surprised after checking in; I never expected such great value for money! Every corner and detail was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the room was also very quiet. The breakfast was plentiful, and I particularly loved their handmade bread—it was incredibly delicious and full of milky flavor. If you're coming to Bohol on a budget, you definitely shouldn't miss this incredibly high-value hotel! 👍🏻

Our stay at Bohol Dolphin Bay Resort was a great experience overall. The bedding in the room was really comfortable, clean, and soft, so we slept soundly. The breakfast selection wasn't huge, but the food was tasty, and they even had some small snacks, which showed a nice thoughtful touch.
The pool was much bigger than we expected and very clean, perfect for relaxing. The location is also good; it's not far from the beach, an easy walk away. If you prefer not to walk, the hotel offers a free shuttle to Alona Beach, which is a big plus.
Overall, it's great value for money, and we had a very relaxing stay. We'd definitely consider coming back.

Compared to hotels in Southeast Asia, this place offers great value for money! I was traveling with friends this time. We spent most of our time out and about. For me, the most important things are cleanliness and convenience! The hotel is a 400-meter walk to alone beach, and there's a free shuttle every hour. The best part, though, is the breakfast – for this price point, it's a buffet! They have bread, coffee, tea, fruit, and more! We always left feeling full before heading out for the day!
