Best Western Plus The Ivywall Resort-Panglao

Guests who stayed here loved

“Although this review is long-overdue, I felt it was important to recognize our even-more outstanding experience we had during our second visit to The IvyWall Resort in Panglao. Quick history: Back in July 2023, we stayed 4 nights at this hotel during our very first visit to Bohol. It was particularly special because we had also brought with us my in-laws from the US (and it was also their first time in the Philippines). In addition to its ideal location, being directly on the beach and close to all the establishments, what made it exceptional was the service we received from its staff, who really made us feel very welcome and respected. Having traveled extensively for business and stayed in many high-end hotels, my wife and I were truly impressed by the hospitality here. I was so appreciative that I told its General Manager (Doer Escoto, amazing guy) on the day we left that if we ever had the chance to return to Bohol, that we wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay at the Ivywall again. And, that’s exactly what we did. In June 2025, my family and I returned to the Philippines, this time we took along 6 of our closest friends (and their 3 teens) from the US, and our stay was even more exceptional. This is mainly attributed to how well we were treated – from the front desk to the bellhops, bartenders and lifeguards, and to their management team, we truly felt like VIPs. Just like last time, their staff stood out for their warm welcome and genuine accommodation - many of them even remembered us from our stay 2 years ago. I was particularly moved by their entire staff’s gesture when they waved us goodbye on our departure. All in all, there were 13 of us and we stayed 5 nights. Our rooms all had spectacular views, and they totally accommodated my requests for specific rooms, including offering our friends (with a family of 5) a poolside room that just made their stay completely memorable. Their breakfast buffet (and their special Father's Day Dinner) were amazing, and we totally enjoyed their afternoon happy hours, both poolside and down by the beachfront on Alona. I can go on and on advocating for how our stay was even more enjoyable and memorable this 2nd time around, but I don’t think it would do much justice unless you experience their hospitality and accommodations yourself. So, if you get the chance to visit, I highly encourage you to stay here.”
