For the price point, it's overpriced. Lots of things that need to be improved, the surrounding is not well maintained. Dirty and dysfunctional bathroom during my stay. Dusty bedsheets and curtains. The only redeeming part during that visit was the polite staff and the nice long beach. I will visit again after the renovations.

This resort is haven in Panglao. The beach is super amazing very opposite to Alona beach. It's so clean and calming. The restaurant is huge and you can choose where you want to seat, indoor, outdoor or even by the beach. When we're there there's a special set up for a romantic date by the beach under the moonlight. I even forgot my headset on our seat and they kept and I got it back after 3 days. The staff is nice and friendly. Walking at their beach is so magical and relaxing. I would really go back to this resort.

South palms is a beautiful resort that has a chilled and laid back vibe. The beach is private and honestly beautiful with plenty of seating/loungers with umbrellas to keep out the heat. Plenty of space and has an exclusive feel. Our room was lovely and clean however I would say slightly outdated now but again only a small criticism and definitely not a reason to not stay here . We were greeted with a honeymoon sign on our bed which was a wonderfully thoughtful touch and our room over looked the beach and the palms. It was great ! Breakfast was good quality with fresh fruit and good amount of options. They do happy hour from 7am-7pm which is honestly greatly appreciated! The staff are friendly and welcoming always saying good morning. I would say it would be nice if the beach:bar staff came around and checked on guests on the beach with regards to drinks. However I also appreciate how busy they are but it would be a nice touch. There is currently some construction going on which is audible behind the resort. This again didn’t bother us as we were up early and didn’t go to bed till late but for some it maybe a problem for those who want a lie in or early night. On our 2nd day we could here it from the beach which again maybe bothersome to some. This probably should be mentioned on booking or on their website just out of courtesy…

Dear Lucie373, We appreciate you choosing South Palms Resort Panglao and taking the time to leave such wonderful TripAdvisor reviews for us. We are overjoyed to learn that your stay with us was so wonderful and that we met your expectations. We take pride in giving our guests the best Boholano hospitality experiences, so we are pleased to learn that you liked our place. It's wonderful to know that you were able to take advantage of our unique location and enjoy the longest white sand of Panglao, Bohol. Also the amenities, such as beach loungers, hammocks, and day beds, the service from our staff, and our longest happy hour, which lasts from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Thus, we'll look into it that our servers take orders from guests at the beach from time to time. Lastly, we regret any inconvenience the noise from the neighboring construction has brought you. As much as possible, we keep our east wing of the property secluded and pristine for those sensitive to noise. We assure upcoming guests in the future to provide them with the same luxury and staycation they deserve. Thank you for your kind words about our team and the resort. Our team members are dedicated to making your stay unforgettable, and we are thrilled to hear that they made your stay extra special. We want to thank you again for choosing South Palms Resort and we hope to see you again soon for another memorable stay. Yours in hospitality, Mary Charmaine B. Geñoso Front Office Manager +63 919 079 6808

This surprised me after some of the reviews but this might have been the best of the 8 different places we stayed on this trip (and some of the others were very nice). We got the Panglao Villa, which is great for a family of 4 - with 2 big bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one with a bath), a jacuzzi and your own outdoor lounger. The place offers a lot: beach, two pools, live music every night, extensive food options, etc. It's a much bigger place than I'd expected but the scale was a positive rather than a negative. It was awesome to have their farm to visit too - the kids loved it and we went three times. The only shortcoming was a lack of beach equipment and services (e.g. SUPs).

Stayed here for two nights. This resort gives not only the best view but the best service. I love how attentive they are to all needs of their guests. I love that they have swings by the shore, they offer a free tour to their farm and free use of their kayak for 30 mins. Their breakfast food was good too, I was hoping to try the chorizo because Ive heard from a friend that it was so yummy, unfortunately they didnt serve it while we were there. Nevertheless, this is one of the best resorts I've stayed at.

As much as we highlight our white sand beach, we will also indulge you with sumptuous food and beverages too. We can't wait to meet you again and share more memorable experiences with you.

My wife and I travelled to Cebu from Singapore over the CNY long weekend. We could manage to get a booking for only 1 night at the South Palms as the property seemed to be selling out fast given the long break. Loved our stay. The room we chose was the Premium Beachfront. The room was clean, had a reasonably spacious living room area and a gigantic super king size bed in the bedroom. The views were gorgeous as the room opened to a beautiful white sand beach. The food was good. We are vegetarians by choice and yet we were able to find a decent set of choices. The Thai Curry, Pizzas and Pasta were good veggie options we could leverage on. All in all, a lovely stay. My only grouse is I wish it could have been longer. Thanks, South Palms staff for making our stay memorable.

We just had our wedding celebration last weekend at the South Palms on Panglao Island and it was totally amazing. We really want to commend Cherrygen of the resort, who handled our account. She was very patient with us and was totally thorough in her planning. All our coordination was done online and we were only able to see the resort and meet Cherrygen in the week before the event! We really made a good choice! She also handled some room bookings of our guests who stayed in their resort. South Palms has the best and widest beach front on the island and the resort is really picture-perfect. Everyone was so happy and impressed with the food and service and we also totally loved the beach dinner set-up that we requested. Thankfully, the weather also cooperated on that day and everything was really beautiful. It was perfect. Thank you to Cherrygen and her team at South Palms Resort that evening for making this a celebration to remember!…

Great place. Been always traveling back here. Pristine white san beach and super vibrant with its colorful theme. What I like most is the customer service. Never experience a single negative experience. Would like to commend Paul who assisted us in our official business meeting in Artistica. He handled our concerns and requests smoothly specially in ordering and preparation. Highly recommended this resort for both business and leisure.
