Where to stay at Alona Beach

Alona beach has large number of resorts in various price-classes and quality. It is certainly worthwhile to check-out a few places and compare prices and facilities. At the low-end of the price range, Alonaville rents out simple, somewhat run-down, cottages with fan at about P400 / $8 per night. Better cottages, with or without air-con can be had at Bohol Divers, starting at P1200 / $24. If you wish to stay a little bit away from the noise and hectic at the beach, you can rent nice and clean, fully furnitured houses with kitchen at P1000 / $20 per night at Flower Garden Resort. This is very good value for money, and, considering that you can do your own cooking, is actually cheaper than even the most run-down cottage straight on the beach. Since there are only three houses and a duplex, reservations are certainly recommended here. Also a little away from the beach is Sunapartelle, which offers very attractive luxury apartments, with air-con, kitchen, and has a good restaurant (and one of the few places in Bohol serving vegetarian food), all in a lovely garden. You will certainly love the swimming-pool here, as it is set romantically in a natural hollow, connected to caves, some three to four meters below the surrounding garden. At the high end of the price range is, recently opened after over four years of construction, is Alona Palm Beach Resort. Here the luxury rooms go for P5500 / $110 per night. Each room is actually in a separate building, set in a nicely landscaped garden direct on the beach. The swimming pool is the largest on the beach, and boasts an edge with waterfall, such that, when you are swimming in it, it appears to be a continuation of the sea.
