Golden Palm Resort

Golden Palm was a nice, well kept resort. Nice gardens and the pools were wonderful. The rooms are standard but the air conditioning works well and we had a nice balcony. The breakfast was just ok, but the staff of the hotel were very nice and helpful. The resort is on a quiet street around the corner from several restaurants, cafes, bars and Alona Beach. Great location to have a quiet sleep, but nearby the action. Would recommend staying here.

Just got back from Bohol and stayed at the Golden Palm. First off the good: -The place is beautiful. -Rooms are nice and the bed is better than expected. -AC works fine so the room is cool. -Pools are nice but the main pool is where you will go since the small one in front of the rooms is more for looks. -The staff is friendly and the owner lives onsite and you see him eating dinner with the family every night. - We didn't eat there for dinner after the terrible breakfast experience so I can't speak to the food. Now for the Needs Improvement stuff: -Breakfast is included but not worth the time. Food is cold and limited - nothing like cold eggs and pancakes. They have heated pans but dont put flame pots under them so nothing stays warm. Ended up going offsite for food after the first day. -The road to get to the hotel is not near to town and is a rocky road and to get to the beach its a trek or you have to go through the Best Western where they may or may not let you do. -When checking in after travel they make you stand there and get lectured on the rules of the place (don't waste my time and treat me like an adult!) I had to pee! Pissed me off honestly -They don't have water bottles in the room and instead have a pitcher. Which would be fine if they refilled it, they don't. You have to do it yourself? Isn't housekeeping already in your room?

A beautiful smaller resort with nice rooms that have great Air conditioning. Two pools and a bar/restaurant. Very short walk to the beach. Great Staff and helpful security. Safe and Clean. Great location

Amazing time at this resort. Close to everything. Very quiet at night. The pool is amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful

The outside is well maintained. Their garden is so beautiful. The staff are very nice. We got the superior room which is very nice and clean. They clean the room everyday. Location is near Alona beach and plenty of restaurants.

We like the service and the landscape. All staffs are very accomodating.

My concern is the lack of handrail in the stairs leading to the upper floors, very difficult to go up & down for PWD/seniors. What i like is it feels like one is in a resort away from city life. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Thank you very much!

The gardens and pool area of the property is really nice. The staff are really friendly. The room is okay but the bathroom could do with an upgrade

This hotel is a beautiful oasis of tranquility in an otherwise rather messy little resort town. The beach is great, there are great places to eat and drink but I love getting away from people and noise when I think of island life. The accommodation was utterly beautiful with delightful gardens, a lovely bar and loads of clean, beautiful, space to relax. Highly recommend this as a place to stay. Breakfast is pretty limited, would have liked some cheese, fresh bread and more fruit, but it was perfectly adequate.

Very ethical staff, service is excellent

The are extremely well maintained along with the koi pond. There was quite of beautiful bonsai present along with many native plants. All in all my stay at resort was excellent!

Very helpful staff, nothing was to much trouble for them. The owner of the property was there almost ever day and was very helpful with information on where to find all the right places for trips and Restaurants etc.

Quiet, walkable to the beach. However, breakfast buffet had barely food left when we went to eat. They had to cook and we had to wait. The steamed rice came out not fully cooked as they rushed to cook.

rented 2 rooms good for 4 to stay for just 1 night. overall the place was excellent, safe, quite and well maintained. room was large, ac was cold and water pressure was good. the place has 2 excellent pools with the big 1 having 10 feet deep which is usually rare. staff was honest enough to hold on my son’s ipad which was left behind upon checkout and had to come back few minutes to retrieve it. despite all the good, i do have a complain about how to go the beach area. i do usually research places were i go in which i read and was advertised as only 3 mins walk to the beach using the access from the hotel. unfortunately when we were there, the said access was been closed for a time due to construction done by the adjacent property. the only way to go to the beach would be a long walk like 10-15 minutes which u will go back to the main road or drive ur car, park for 50php all day parking.

Wonderful resort. Very clean rooms and beautiful grounds. Super friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.

Good location down a short road off the major areas. An ‘oasis of calm ‘ away from the normal livelinesses of a resort. A big shout out to Barry ‘the gardener’ for his vision in providing a great place to stay. A comment to be made, a brighter light in the shower/ wc area would be appreciated. Yes I would recommend this hotel.

The place are clean and quiet. Walking distance to the beach and restaurant.

We loved our stay at Golden Palm. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and kind. The garden was full of beautiful trees and plants and we enjoying spending time there and around the pool. The room had everything we needed and comfortable. It was a quiet place and an easy walk to the beach within 5 mins. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.

The grounds and garden where the nicest we have seen in the Philippines. Pools and facilities are excellent and staff wonderful. You are not right on the beach but it is worth it for the peaceful gardens and pool areas; and only a 5-10 minute walk to Alona Beach. This is a good spot to be close to restaurants and to explore some tours from (the staff helped arrange an excellent guide and van for us). I would highly recommend this spot, great value for money.

Had a lovely 7 night stay at the Golden Palm Resort with my wife and 1 year old daughter, and couldn't have been happier with our hotel choice. The location is quite pleasant, very close to Alona beach and yet quiet and private The hotel outdoors spaces are very well taken care of, with lovely gardens and natural grass everywhere, 2 very pleasant swimming pools, a bar with a very nice ambience and awesome playlists, several relaxing areas including a gazebo with comfortable loungers, and even play areas for kids with a swing and a playhouse with toys. The room was spacious and comfortable, very clean with a large and clean toilet, the beds and linen were perfect. The best part was the staff, the owner is an extraordinary person, very welcoming and really makes you feel at home, and everyone at the resort strives to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We'll definitely come back if the opportunity comes!
