Olman's View Resort

I was there to have some inquiries for my friend to check in but the the staffs are impolite!. So,we decided to transfer to the other resort..They dont know how to treat a customer/customer. The place is like a HORROR HOUSE. **** Do not attempt to have a reservation and stay in this place...IT'S NOT WORTH IT!..****

What an absolute gongshow. Booked online a day and a half before. Arrived at 4pm to locked gates. Finally someone came to let us in after honking for 5 mins. No one at reception. No idea theyd be expecting any new guests (and 8t appeared to be completely empty - no guests at all.) No wifi. Waited nearly 1.5hrs to get a room, which was awful at best. Blankets had so much moisture on them you could wipe the wetness with your hand. Room and beds smelled of mildew We'd opted for an extra bed as 3 singles traveling and the 3rd was an über moist, musty, foldable sofabed they charge extra 500pesos for. That wasn't going to work. Toilet didnt flush, aircon was more of a loud swampbox than any sort of cooling mechanism. Zero staff in restaurants and you are wayyyyy out of the way so not any options walkable distance. The staff seemed utterly useless and confused and kept telling us to wait. Finally we walked about 15 mins to flag a tricycle to take us somewhere with wifi and we booked another room online. Also 50$US but this one was worth the money and full amenities! Too bad, the place could have been (& maybe once was) beautiful but after 15 trips in SE Asia, this was the biggest gongshow of a hotel I've ever dealt with. If they try to charge my card i will be disputing it with my credit card company.

This wasn't a hotel of our choice. We had booked another hotel but it turned out to be fully booked so we were moved to Olman's. It's not easy to find by google maps since it's a lot of road reconstruction in the area, but with some help we got there. Super friendly staff, they even cooked extra for us after breakfast hours once when we sat in the dining area to use the wifi. One lady made us grilled bananas! The room was alright, nothing more. Shower had warm water and room was spacey. Comfy bed, TV. Wifi only in the dining area and reception. Works if u only need wifi for Facebook, Instagram etc. The hotel could use some renovations, but I was never dissatisfied when living there. If I return to Panglao Island I can imagine myself going back here! Ok price for an ok hotel. Great view from the dining area I should add! You're living next to the water and just across it is Tagbilaran city, Bohol, from where u can take a ferry to Cebu, and the airport at Bohol is in Tagbilaran city. Although I just want to add that if u wanna live here, or anywhere else at Panglao Island you will need a scooter! There are Tricycles and Gypnies but they are mainly catchable at main roads and not just outside the hotel.
