Lost Horizon Resort - Reviews and Deals - Panglao Island

When we stayed in this resort, some of the rooms were still under construction, but I'm sure it's finished by now. The architecture is modern, but there are no recreational facilities save from the small pool. There are apartment-type and villa-type rooms facing either the pool area or the beach. The restaurant/bar is at the front of the resort and can be passed by on the way to the small reception (or something like that) area.

Our air-con room was at the second level of the apartment-type rooms, and good enough for the price that we paid for it (P2,550/night). It comes with a mini-bar, TV, double-bed, closet, and hot & cold shower. A nice tub would've been nice too, but oh well. However, the air-con in our room was leaking, and they weren't able to fix it because their technician wasn't available. It wasn't that bad though, because we still managed to sleep well. There's also a balcony with a view of the pool and part of the resto which, unfortunately, was blocking the view of the beach. But there are a couple of rooms facing the beach complete with big balconies. Just imagine the rates :D

Staff service is efficient enough, and they catered to our every whim most of the time :D One bummer though: whenever we ate at the resto, we had to wait for an HOUR before the meal is served! So I would suggest eating somewhere else because there are plenty of restos along the beach to choose from. On the other hand, the food was okay :)

Aside from sleeping and swimming in the mini-pool, the resort also offers other activities such as island-hopping, dolphin-watching, and a tour of the Bohol Island sights. Not really necessary if you can strike a deal with the local boat operators or tour guides for your sight-seeing for a leser price.

All in all, we had a good experience during our stay. If you happen to be looking for accommodations in Alona Beach, do check it out, but make sure the air-con in your room isn't leaking ;)
