We spent a couple of nights here and enjoyed every moment of it. As soon as we landed at the pier from Cebu, a staff member came and picked us up. The hotel can only be reached via private car or hired private vehicle, also known as tricycle by the locals. The check in was easy and done with in... More

Staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. They replied timely and informatively to every email. We arrived early in the morning and they kindly offered us a clean room for rest for free. There is a beautiful pool with super clear water. A few steps down is a nice white-sand beach. Kayaking is available for free for resort guests. Rooms... More

We went to Amarela a day after our #fourthofmay wedding in Tagaytay. With us were some of our New Zealand friends who came for our wedding and wanted to join us in our mini moon. The rooms were a bit small but had a relaxing Filipino appeal. It would have been better though if the rooms had bathtubs. The staff... More

The reason I chose the Amarela Resort was because of the ratings and reviews from travel sites. It had an average 4 to 5 stars (5 bring the highest). The reviews were pretty accurate. My mom and I visted Bohol for the first time and wanted a quiet place to stay but with beach access. Amarela was really charming. It... More

I did quite some research prior to my trip regarding location and hotel and I am very happy I chose to stay at Amarela. Hotel: - The hotel itself feels like staying at a private house. It is very nicely and thoughtfully decorated, super clean with a very nice touch of local Filipino art and heritage. - The rooms are... More

Went here for a long overdue relaxation vacation and was not disappointed. The resort is a B&B style place well situated in a nice beach along Panglao island. The combination gives it a very relaxing ambiance. Rooms are excellent. Very well maintained and very clean. The resort has a decent library where you can read/borrow books and DVDs. The rooms...

Lovely little hotel that feels like a B+B. Air conditioning works well. The food was tasty and there were various options. Hotel staff was helpful and pleasant. The pool is small but nice. The beachfront is tiny, but the sand is white and the water is a gorgeous clear blue. The tides can be prominent though and there can be... More

When we first entered Amarela, we thought it would be like a normal boutique hotel & we probably paid a little more compared to what we see, but what happened later was just mind blowing.
