Blue Planet Panglao

It is far from anywhere sitting all alone, the beach being 1.5 - 2 km away. It is a motel pretending to be a resort. There is a swimming pool surrounded by motel like rooms. There is little privacy between the rooms. They do not accept credit cards, cash only something one has to be aware of. The room we had was spacious and clean and numerous cabinets, drawers and benches as well as a full kitchen, 3 burner gas hob, an oven, a microwave, a large fridge. Despite all this all the cabinets and drawers are empty. There are no cooking pots and pans, kitchen utensils, crockery or cutlery apart from 2 mugs and 2 spoons. What a waste of the space. The breakfast is virtually the same everyday, there being no buffet. The choices for breakfast are limited. They don’t know how to prepare poached eggs, I got fried eggs on 2 days despite the waitress being told I wanted poached eggs and she read it back. Likewise for dinner there is nothing if you are a vegetarian, she got “an omelette” for dinner which was apparently inedible. If you don’t like pork you are out of luck. There are no restaurants close by and if you want to go somewhere else to eat you have to call a taxi, no walking distance restaurant.

Arrived at half 12 and had to wait until 2pm exactly until we were allowed in the room, however the cleaning job was extremely thorough. We even saw the staff take apart the aircon and clean the filters. The most spotless hotel, the room also smelled great! The grounds are beautiful while also an extremely peaceful and quiet hotel. Slightly out the way, only around maybe 12-15rooms, all on one level. Tranquil! We paid no more than 100 pesos for a trike down the the Alona beach area, with the lowest being 70 pesos.

When I asked them to assist me with booking my ferry ticket they refused to because they can only book it their way and not the way I wanted....... So clearly they didn't want to help me without receiving their commission.... Same thing for motorbike and same thing they did for massage. I even heard the owner discussing it with the massage lady and his friends who were over.... Guess they didn't know I speak French and understood them. Money focus and not guest satisfaction focus... A pity.... Other than that it's really good.

Perfect place to relax far enough away from Alona Beach to enjoy a quiet night's sleep. Very clean, nice pool, extremely friendly staff, with a special call-out for Jaica, so competent and polyvalent, this must be the best value for money in town.

My son is really enjoying everything with Blue Planet. Nice breakfast with sweet service. We had a one day tour with early leaving, and they prepared for us sandwichs with wrappers and some banana. We did not respect this since that time was not under their operation hours. All the staff are friendly and helpful. There are more about to say, but it is better to be experienced by your own. Highly recommend to who is looking for a convenient, valuable, and peaceful place.

This really is a very nice place to stay. The owners and staff did all they could to ensure every member of our party of 13 had a great time. The accomodation, breakfast, pool and overall cleanliness of the place were excellent.
