My family and I travel a lot and we are picky about accommodations. The reviews about Amarela were quite good so I was really expecting a whole lot. From the time they picked us up at the airport, we already knew this will be a worthy trip. Kim, the person who picked us up was very nice. Upon check-in it... More

This was the best hotel in Bohol. It has a really nice ambience, near the beach and a nice pool. You can borrow books and boardgames and even DVDs. The staff was really great and the food was superb. They're easy to talk to, no hassle at all. They give you welcome drinks and broas when yuo arrive. Although, they... More

Amarela is one of those reasonably priced hotels which enjoys a wonderful relaxing view at their private beachfront area. We went here for Independence day long weekend and although there was a rather big crowd, the resorts facility is quite big to accomodate the number of people. There were two disappointments however when we went here -- a lost iPhone... More

This is really a wonderful hotel that oozes charm and the staff makes you feel very special. I would stay here again (I don't say that about many hotels). The rooms are well appointed and they have a nice beach. However, stay here and take a taxi to Alona beach area which is much more active and where the food... More

Amarela has an endearing appeal. It's not a big sprawling resort but everything that you need in a resort is conveniently just a few steps away from your room. The restaurant is in the middle of the rooms. The swimming pool is just a few steps down the restaurant and so near the ground floor rooms. The beach is a... More

Amarela is close to perfect. The resort has a very artsy, homey feel to it with the vibrant colors, wood and native decor. You really do feel like you are in someone's home and not a resort. The warm colors perfectly match the overall warmth of the atmosphere. They have an extensive library upstairs in the main house with a... More

We were so much pampered in this hotel. We had our own car and driver which picked us up on time at the airport, who toured as around in Bohol, suggested beautiful places and served as our tour guide. The hotel itself is beautiful. The resort seems to be private which makes u feel you own it yourself. They made... More

While on the 2 hour ferry ride from Cebu to Tagbilaran, I was thinking to myself that all this trouble better be worth it. Why did I not think of flying to Manila and then take a connecting flight to Tagbilaran airport? Why did I not choose to visit a more accessible island with a direct flight from Singapore? Oh...

This little gem of a resort deserves some attention. We were really impressed by the staff attitude, cleanliness, food, and attention to detail. The resort is located some 25 minutes from Tagbilaran airport on the southern part of Panglao island. It is fairly isolated, so if you want to visit other resorts/restaurants during your stay it is a further 10-15... More
