Where to stay in Bohol: the five areas
Where to stay in Bohol starts with a choice between Panglao Island and the main island. The Provincial Government of Bohol describes Panglao as the province’s southernmost town, one of two towns on Panglao Island with Dauis. Six of the 12 picks are on Panglao Island.
Alona Beach (Panglao)
Alona Beach is Panglao’s busiest beach, and three of the picks are on or near it. Henann calls itself the biggest beach resort on Panglao Island and sits right on the sand, Amorita overlooks the beach from above, and Mad Monkey is nearby in Danao.
Doljo and Bolod (Panglao)
Doljo and Bolod are quieter Panglao beaches. Modala describes its site at Doljo as the dragon head of Panglao Island, The Bellevue is also in Doljo, and Bohol Beach Club is in Barangay Bolod. Alona’s bars are a drive away.
Anda
Anda is on the eastern tip of Bohol, according to the provincial government, about two hours’ drive from the airport according to Amun Ini’s Booking.com listing. Dive resorts such as Blue Star sit in Candabong, and four of the 12 picks are in Anda.
Loboc
Loboc is an inland river town; the provincial government puts it 24 km from Tagbilaran, in a valley cut by the Loboc River. Loboc River Resort is a 45-minute drive from the airport, according to its Booking.com listing.
Tagbilaran
Tagbilaran is the provincial capital, and Ocean Suites calls it the gateway to Bohol. A city base is useful for reaching both Panglao and the countryside, but there is no beach.
Luxury hotels in Bohol
Luxury hotels in Bohol are beach resorts with pools and spas; two of these three are on Panglao and one is on the Anda coast.
Amorita Resort
Amorita Resort, managed by One-Of Collection, sits on Ester Lim Drive in Tawala, overlooking the Bohol Sea along Alona Beach. Guests rate it 9.0 out of 10 from 361 guest reviews on Booking.com, read on 26 October 2026.
Its official site lists 98 rooms, suites and villas, two infinity pools, four dining outlets and a wellness spa with a gym. The Sea View Pool Villa has its own plunge pool. It suits couples; budget travellers should look further down this list.
The Bellevue Resort Bohol
The Bellevue Resort Bohol is a beachfront resort in Barangay Doljo, one of Panglao’s quieter beaches. Guests rate it 9.3 out of 10 from 1,141 guest reviews on Booking.com, the highest score on this list.
Its official site lists a pool on the beachfront, a fitness centre, the Azurea Spa and a children’s play area, with rooms from 38 m² up to the 100 to 110 m² Bellevue Suite. It suits families who want a full resort; Alona Beach’s bars are not within walking distance.
Amun Ini Beach Resort & Spa
Amun Ini Beach Resort & Spa is in Barangay Candabong, Anda, on the white-sand shore of the east coast. Guests rate it 8.8 out of 10 from 40 guest reviews on Booking.com; that is only 40 reviews, so treat the score with caution.
Its official site shows an infinity pool on the shore, views of the Bohol Sea and Camiguin Island, and diving, and Booking.com adds a private beach area, a restaurant and room service. The two-hour drive from the airport makes it a poor fit for a short trip.
Mid-range hotels in Bohol
Mid-range hotels in Bohol include the big Panglao family resorts as well as dive, river and city bases; these seven cover every area on this list.
Modala Beach Resort
Modala Beach Resort is a family-owned resort in Tumoy Leisure Village, Doljo, on a one-kilometre white-sand beach. Guests rate it 9.1 out of 10 from 687 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its official site lists family-friendly activities and a restaurant, and Booking.com shows two swimming pools and family rooms. It suits families who want space and a long beach away from Alona; there is no nightlife nearby.
Bohol Beach Club
Bohol Beach Club is on the beach in Barangay Bolod, Panglao. Guests rate it 9.2 out of 10 from 913 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its official site lists 88 rooms, 80 Deluxe rooms and eight Beachview Suites, at 55 m² with pool and beach views, plus pet-friendly and accessible rooms. Booking.com adds two swimming pools and three restaurants. It suits families and pet owners, not anyone after a walkable bar scene.
Henann Resort Alona Beach
Henann Resort Alona Beach is a 6.5-hectare beachfront property in Barangay Tawala, and its official site calls it the biggest beach resort on Panglao Island. Guests rate it 9.2 out of 10 from 568 guest reviews on Booking.com.
It has three swimming pools, a gym, the Kai Spa and a convention centre, right on Alona Beach. It suits families who want a big resort right on the sand; anyone after a small boutique stay should choose elsewhere.
Blue Star Dive & Resort
Blue Star Dive & Resort is in Ipo, Barangay Candabong, on the Anda coast. Guests rate it 8.9 out of 10 from 209 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its official site lists an on-site dive centre with dive courses, pool-view rooms, a restaurant and massage, and Booking.com shows an oceanfront outdoor pool. It is built around diving, so travellers who do not dive will get less from it.
Three Little Birds Resort
Three Little Birds Resort is in Sitio Dagohoy, Barangay Bacong, Anda. Guests rate it 8.5 out of 10 from 506 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its Booking.com listing shows an outdoor pool and a kids’ pool, family rooms with garden or pool views, a restaurant and bar, and free parking. It suits families wanting a relaxed resort near Anda’s beaches; the listing does not show beachfront.
Loboc River Resort
Loboc River Resort is a riverside resort in Barangay Camayaan, Loboc, on the banks of the Loboc River. Guests rate it 9.1 out of 10 from 972 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its official site lists a Premier River View Room with a bathtub, a restaurant and bar, and travel awards from KAYAK in 2019 and 2022; Booking.com adds an outdoor pool and a spa. It suits a night inland on the Chocolate Hills route, not a beach holiday.
Ocean Suites Bohol
Ocean Suites Bohol is a small, family-run hotel beside the Blood Compact Shrine on East Tagbilaran Road. Guests rate it 7.7 out of 10 from 1,020 guest reviews on Booking.com, the lowest score on this list.
Its official site lists an infinity pool over the sea, floor-to-ceiling ocean views in most rooms, breakfast included, an all-day café and restaurant, and a tour and transfer concierge. It is a cliffside city hotel, so beach seekers should stay on Panglao.
Budget hotels in Bohol
Budget hotels in Bohol on this list are a party hostel near Alona Beach and a small inn in Anda; both have a swimming pool.
Mad Monkey Panglao
Mad Monkey Panglao is in Sitio Daorong, Barangay Danao, in the Alona Beach area. Guests rate it 8.0 out of 10 from 600 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its official site lists a swimming pool, four-bed dorms with an en-suite bathroom, a female dorm, a nightly 7 pm meet-up at the bar, and tours such as Balicasag snorkelling and the Chocolate Hills. Families and light sleepers should pick a quieter place.
R&D Traveller’s Inn
R&D Traveller’s Inn is on the Anda Provincial Road, in Anda. Guests rate it 9.1 out of 10 from 216 guest reviews on Booking.com.
Its Booking.com listing shows an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness room, a garden and sun terrace, rooms with a terrace, and breakfast. It is the budget pick for Anda; it is not on the beach.
How we chose these Bohol hotels
How we chose these Bohol hotels matters, because we have not stayed at them. The 12 hotels were chosen from public, checkable data: a precise location, a guest score on Booking.com and facilities read on the official website where one exists, all checked on 26 October 2026.
Where a hotel has no official website, or its website blocks automated checks, the facilities come from its Booking.com listing. The Philippine Department of Tourism does award official star ratings to accredited hotels and resorts, but we have not checked each hotel’s grade, so this list shows no official star category; any star level mentioned is the hotel’s or Booking.com’s own description. No hotel pays to be listed; see the editorial policy and the affiliate disclosure.
Before you book a hotel in Bohol
- Arriving passengers register on the official eTravel site, which is free; registration opens 72 hours before arrival. Visa rules depend on your nationality, so check them with an official Philippine source.
- Distances are long: Anda is about two hours from the airport and Loboc about 45 minutes, so plan transfers.
- Amun Ini’s score comes from only 40 reviews, and Ocean Suites scores 7.7; read recent reviews for both.
- Guest scores change; the figures here were read on 26 October 2026, so check the latest before booking.
When a Bohol hotel is the wrong choice
A Bohol hotel is the wrong choice if you want a lively party island or a long stretch of nightlife. Bohol is best for beaches, diving and the countryside; for a busier beach scene, compare Boracay.
For limestone lagoons, see our El Nido hotels guide and Palawan hotels guide; for surf, see Siargao. If you are passing through the capital, our Manila hotels guide covers one-night stays.
