Panglao Regents Park

the hotel staff were so accomodating, even the smallest complain they immediately do action.

the cafe, i felt discriminated. i was inside the cafe (aircon area), i ordered a drink then my companion came from the pool wet. the faces of the staff were not pleased looking at him that he just went outside & waited for me to finish my drink. when i stood up after i paid, one of the staff immediately moped the wet part of the floor where my companion was. i apologized but instead she ignored me. i felt discriminated because i was observing them inside the cafe, most of the staff were so accomodating to the foreign guests. i paid well to be ignored by the local staff, shame on them!

I liked the food at their restaurant, and the pool area was nice in the main building. The staff were pleasant.

I had rented two rooms. Both were clean, but showing their age. One room, the WiFi would not work inside the room, and the second, the air conditioning was barely adequate. It finally got somewhat cool in the room after dark.

The pool & the pool area was excellent. The resort is quite close to the beach and night bars/restaurants (5 /10 minutes). All staff were friendly with a ready to help attitude. The security lady in the pool area was very attentive, particularly when two parents left there young children alone in the pool for a period. The bed was quite firm although the air conditioner was a bit noisy. Being down a small side street also helped quieten the traffic noise so you could get a good nights sleep.

At breakfast we were told they only had tinned fruit juice (not freshly squeezed). We only had breakfast there once and for the rest of the time wandered down to the early opening restaurants on the beach. The prices between this resort & the beach eateries were similar, but you had the beach sand under your feet & the cool sea breeze as a bonus.
