Villa Umi Panglao Resort

Off the beaten path resort. Beach front. Access only from beach. Luggage carried by porters about 2 min down beach from Dumaluan Beach access point. Free tasty bkfst. Good WiFi. Poor water pressure in rooms. Relaxing beach front resort but access is an issue

This is hotel is located in a relaxed quiet location with a beautiful beach front. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Food served here is also super nice. There is nothing I can fault.

This is a boutique hotel and while is doesn’t have pools and nightclubs it has a charm that is unique. It is beautifully peaceful and the beach in front of the hotel is as good as it gets. The staff are amongst the nicest people I’ve ever met. Despite its small size Villa Umi offers a wide ranging food menu and extensive breakfast and even a cute little bar. Couldn’t have wished for a nicer stay.

We found exactly what we are looking for at Villa Umi. Beachfront and tranquility were achieved. We are extremely thankful to all the staff, they are very friendly and warm. We enjoyed the sunrise for 2 days, and all resorts (neighbor) are walkable if you want to see some crowds and try other foods and check other souvenirs or activities. Again, Villa Umi is kinda private and quiet, so if you want to avoid crowds, this is the exact hotel you want to stay. Also, they said its not the peak season, so we're good. In addition, They don't have private drive, you will share entrance with other guests entering Dumaluan beach resort/ pavilions, it's only a 3 to 4 min walk to Villa Umi. It's not a big issue at all, the staff carried all our luggage to the hotel. For all activites, you just need to ask the staff at front desk, we did our private tour around Bohol (like zipline, Loboc cruise, Tarsier viewing, Chocolate Hills) first before we checked in, so our 2nd day is all about the sea, sunrise viewing, swimming, snorkeling, walk, eat, take pictures, sleep.

Beautiful beach front location with very friendly staff. Perfect place for some relaxation in a beautiful setting. Weekends can be a little loud with the neighbours and their karaoke / parties but it didn’t go into the evening and weekdays were much quieter

Gorgeous quiet hotel in an outstanding location with incredible views. Small property with few rooms so staffing is quick & efficient. Very friendly, attentive staff. Location is unbelievable. From room 5 (ground floor sea view room) you literally walk out into patio area that rolls out onto the beach. Included breakfast is good. You have about 7 options of a meal with fresh fruit & tea / coffee / hot chocolate. Cocktails are ok in a cute setting. Shame they don’t make more effort of evening dining at the hotel. Most people leave for restaurants along the beach. They should try to encourage guests to stay by offering deals or events as it’s a beautiful setting! Room was nice. Rather basic for what you pay and spec isn’t amazing. Bed is super comfortable though! Cleaned daily. Bathroom is great with lovely walk-in shower but pressure isn’t great & temperature very temperamental. Toilet isn’t great either and drains smelled at times. It is expensive for the spec of the room and facilities (no pool) but I think the location is what you pay for! I got a taxi to the property & it was really very confusing to get from the drop off to the hotel - I had to walk over the beach with a case!! They should really offer complimentary pick up both ways to be honest. Also be aware you have to pay to be on Dumaluan beach (100) but make sure to get a receipt to get a refund from the hotel. Would recommend based on incredible location & lovely staff.

The hotel is clean, quiet, and private. The staff is very friendly, polite, and accommodating. They’re very helpful, and the service is excellent. We were assigned a front-view room with a stunning beach view and beautiful sunrise.

Amazing experience!

Staff is extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating! Very professional and go above and beyond to make your stay memorable and comfortable!

The staff are so friendly and helpful making my family’s vacation experience worth while! The property was very clean and they take their time to help each guest. The private beach front is like no other and quite relaxing. We appreciate Lovely, Raymund, Raven, and John Paul as well as the rest of the staff. 10/10 would come back to again to Villa Umi.

Small little “boutique” hotel right in the beach. A short walk down the beach to the larger, higher end resorts (2) where you can use the restaurants and more extensive (and manicured) beach front. Overall the hotel is great, if not overpriced. Recommend

If you like off the beaten path, this is a good choice. For the most part, staff was understanding and very helpful. Getting in and out of the resort area requires going through a gate and guard. Getting to villa umi requires a walk down the beach, but the staff comes out in force to help with bags. Meals were a little slow but worth the wait. Very clean and staff was very attentive.

Location is very quiet but a little far from downtown.

Very good service, very good food and a wonderful view!!

They dont have road access. You have to walk dragging luggage 1 mile. My wofe is disabled and we cant walk they said to nad you still have to pay

Lovely quiet place on the beach

We liked the location as it felt secluded . We found next door was loud over the night however. The staff were very friendly !

amazing!!!

Very nice spacious room with sea view. A short walk down the beach but very peaceful and relaxing.Very nice view and they have great food. They could use some work on the drinks but all in all the staff is wonderful and want you to enjoy your stay.

It’s a small resort which I like,it’s quiet not crowded,our room was big enough for 2 the bathroom was huge with garden view.I recommend you book a room with the ocean view,all the food we ordered was good! The staff was friendly,attentive specially Kim & Lovely from the front desk. The beach was fantastic!!you can relax at their lounge chairs while having your drinks.the only drawback was the property has no direct access from the street,you have to go thru another beach resort parking & pay (don’t worry they’ll reimburse you for the entrance fee)then you have to walk about 10 minutes along the beach to villa umi.Alona beach is about 15minutes ride from the hotel,airport 20 minutes.overall it was a great experience!!thanks villa umi!!
