Loved the location, swimming pools and staff. We were going to stay 3 nights but extended by a whole week! Great for relaxation, snorkelling, drinks... I would give score of 10 but restaurants were not very good for vegetarians. The restaurant by the main poor had next to nothing. Even the buffet breakfast was limited.

Limited options for vegetarians. The breakfast buffet could have labels to help. The rice has chunks of meat which were not obvious.

The food was good but pricier than elsewhere on the beach. Breakfast was good with a variety of local and western style fare available. The staff were very friendly and happy to help. The pools were very nice and views spectacular at sunset. We came for the diving and the dive shops were all a short walk from the hotel.

Some parts of the hotel seemed dated and in need of attention, but this didn’t really detract from our enjoyment. The shared entrances were an issue as if you were in some of the rooms other guests had to walk by really quite close and this impacted privacy.

Overall, this place is fantastic! I particularly loved the beautiful gardens and the excellent spa services. I stayed in a villa, which was lovely and very comfortable; however, given the price, I expected it to include a view of the sea. The access to the beach was excellent, and the services offered throughout the property were outstanding. One of the swimming pools was amazing, offering a stunning view of the beach, which I thoroughly enjoyed, specially the sunset. The other pool, however, could use a bit more maintenance to match the high standard of the rest of the property

I expected a better selection of fresh fruits, especially in a location like this. The pineapples were not ripe enough to serve, there were no mangoes in a country where mango is considered a staple, and the bananas were far from the best quality. It would have been nice to see a wider variety of fresh, high-quality fruits. While the breakfast overall was good, it didn’t quite meet the expectations of a 4-star establishment. There were limited options for guests with dietary needs, such as lactose-intolerant individuals, which was disappointing.

The best part about Amorita aside from the amenities and the extremely accessible location, is by far the staff. The hospitality we experienced here is world class. From the moment you enter the van going to the resort to the moment you check-out, everyone here is so warm, kind, friendly, and can answer any and all of your needs in a snap. They are the biggest reason we recommend Amorita to friends and family, as well as to future travelgoers in Panglao Island. Of course, we can't forget about how close Amorita is to Alona Beach, which is a public beach for all, and they have free activities to enjoy upon booking such as archery, yoga at dawn (Wed and Sat only), biking, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle-boarding, etc. They also have two infinity pools with amazing views of the sea, so you can't be left wanting. The spa is also another A+ experience for us, with bang-for-buck services and relaxation all around. We went twice to get two different massages and we were pleased every time.

They don't have a lot of choices for food on the property itself. Saffron resto is where you go to have breakfast, and while the breakfast buffet is good enough for the price, the rest of the menu is decent but way too expensive for what you get. The Lost Cow was another shockingly expensive restaurant on the property, but the food there was much more delicious despite the high price range. If you want more wallet-friendly choices, you'll need to walk along Alona Beach and find restaurants there. This isn't so much a complaint, so much as it is a by-the-by, to prepare for your trip.

Excellent staff service for most part and consistent when compared to my previous visit, except that I had to follow up for refreshments while waiting to be checked-in during my most recent visit. The exclusivity of the resort is one of its main selling point. Not much crowd nor passerbys as compared to other resorts in the area. Wide open spaces means you can have some quiet spot to yourself. Ala-carte food in Saffron are very good.

The resort now feels dates to some extent. Some upgrades are overdue, such as the door. Would be more convenient is they use access cards instead of actual keys. The property cannot provide extra set of keys. Gym equipment are quite dated and very limited. Needs to be “modernized”. There are no sanitary wipes in the gym. Pool access closes relatively early (9pm). Better extend it to 10pm for those who wants to take a dip after having dinner. Breakfast option though high quality, needs more options. There is not much traditional Filipino dishes which can be disappointing for returning Filipino guests from abroad (as with our group) who are craving such food.

Absolutely exceptional, by far the best place I’ve ever stayed. And surprisingly affordable too. Beautiful grounds which are landscaped exceptionally well, stunning room, great facilities including multiple pools and free activities. And a small army of friendly and attentive staff. Amorita also has a couple of absolutely top-tier restaurants, the food is plentiful and exceptionally good. Plus location is perfect, private access to, and stunning view of Alona Beach, 10 minutes travel from the airport. You will not be disappointed with this one!

Friendly staff Beautiful pool Excellent location Great food

Nothing

You will really feel luxury in this hotel. If you want privacy, peace and quiet, this is the best hotel in Alona beach. It is quite expensive and you really get what you pay for. You barely see other guests, it doesn't feel full although their occupancy rate is quite high. The staff always greet the guests and they were very warm and helpful. The view from the pools were also great.

The breakfast option was very limited, considering that this is a luxury resort. Also, I wish they offer more seafood option in the menu.

Amazingly kind and attentive staff. Thoughtful touches throughout e.g. daily sweet treats delivered to room, free ice lollies by the pool, cocktail hour, complimentary paddle boarding. Beautiful hotel, room and surroundings, with easy access to beach and town. Lovely breakfast buffet!

We would have welcomed a filtered water station so we didn’t need to keep calling reception for more water. Dinner was underwhelming for the price point.

Great pools and close proximity (walking) to the local beach activities. The resort is secluded, but close to activities. The spa offers great massage options. I have stayed at this hotel on multiple work trips.

The sliding door to my balcony was open when I checked in. I had to chase down some mosquitos the first night. Pool side, I had to close out my tab each round of drinks v leaving an open tab. Overall, great hotel with good amenities.
