Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Oceanica Resort Panglao, Bohol from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Oceanica Resort is often praised for its beautiful beach, with sand considered by many to be comparable to Boracay, and its lush, forest-like atmosphere enhanced by a garden lined with coconut trees. The Garden View Rooms are noted for being nice and spacious, while Deluxe rooms facing the garden are also described as roomy, featuring very large, comfortable beds and well-equipped bathrooms with good showers. Some guests have noted, however, that the food service can be slow at times. The location near the airport is convenient, and it's easy to book a tuk-tuk for exploring outside the resort.

Fantastic stay, some minor hiccups

friendly staffsuper clean roombeautiful viewvaried breakfast
I found the staff friendly and helpful. The room was super clean and spacious. A beautiful view also came with the room. Breakfast offered a lot of variety each morning, which I really liked.
I noticed there were no sun loungers available on the private side of the resort, there were only hammocks. Most of the seats sat crammed in the middle area. Day guests also used this crammed area.

The resort grounds were HUGE. I found the quiet pool very scenic. I appreciated the turn down service, a lovely touch. I found the beachfront spa massage amazing.
The WiFi connection WAS terrible. It rarely worked. The food at the restaurant was rather expensive, though not of good quality. I found it easy enough to go elsewhere for meals.

Acceptable Location, Some Disappointing Aspects

The location facing the beach front was acceptable.
The room was outdated, and there were many dead mosquitoes, even after cleaning. I found the service inconsistent, and it sometimes took a long time for food.
