Provider-sourced guest reviews.
El excelente trato y atención del personal. Todos muy amables y dispuestos a ayudar en todo momento. Además es una gran ventaja que te dejen moto para moverte siempre que quieras. El resort te ofrece el desplazamiento tanto a la llegada como a la salida del mismo hacia el aeropuerto. Te organizan excursiones y te compran los billetes para facilitartelo todo. Servicio de habitaciones. No hace falta moverte de la habitación si necesitas cualquier cosa llamas a recepción y te lo acercan. Comida muy buena calidad/precio
El acceso del resort tiene un tramo complicado para entrar ya que tiene muchos baches. Especialmente es más incómodo si coges moto para desplazarte. Quizá esto no depende del resort.
Il personale è gentilissimo e disponibile. La struttura offre la possibilità di fare molte tipologie di escursioni, dallo snorkelig alle visite all'interno dell'isola. È presente una piscina, un idromassaggio nonché un biliardo ed un tavolo da ping pong molto apprezzato dai nostri figli e che raramente si trova in altri alberghi.
L'ambiente circostante e la spiaggia vicina purtroppo sono veramente poco curate, peccato perché l'ambiente sarebbe molto bello.
最後一天有開車送我們去港口搭船

Was not charged for late checkout. Shuttle to our next hotel. Owner offered us more food at breakfast time despite it being late. Staff turned on the pool for us.
super nettes Personal - uns wurde bei allen Fragen geholfen - das Shuttle in die Stadt ist auch sehr praktisch. Abholung vom Airport war auch kostenlos dabei!
Frühstück könnte etwas abwechslungsreicher sein, aber es war ausreichend
Замечательный отель в тихом уединенном месте. Невероятно приветливый и дружелюбный персонал. Отличный завтрак. Хороший ресторанчик внутри, мы жили практически одни и все равно ресторан работал и там был хороший выбор блюд. Мы прилетели поздно вечером, всё уже было закрыто и на ресепшен нам помогли заказать пиццу с доставкой на ужин. Есть ежечасный шаттл до пляжа Алона и обратно, а также бесплатный прокат мотоциклов. Мотоцикл отлично подходит для передвижений, но надо знать где его парковать потом. До парома на Ослоб (ныряние с китовыми акулами) 2 минуты пешком.
Далековато расположен, ну и последние метров 150 дороги до отеля - это разбитая грунтовка. Рядом только деревня :) Рестораны, магазины, массаж и пляжи - это всё в районе пляжа Алона и требует какого-то транспорта, пешком не дойти.
Nice place, helpful and friendly people
Everything!! This place was the best place we stayed in all of the Philippines and that includes some 5 star hotels. The staff is unbelievably kind and helpful. They have shuttles into town for free and free scooters. I seriously cannot recommend this place more. It’s simply the best!
Nothing.
Sehr schöne Anlage, super freundliche Mitarbeiter. Kostenloser Shuttleservice und Rollerverleih sind top! Zimmer geräumig und Betten bequem.
Frühstück nicht abwechslungsreich, aber das war in allen Hotels auf den Philippinen für uns so
Le personnel très gentil, les chambres nickels
Rien de négatif
Staff were amazing - especially Anne who was super friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. My kids liked the table tennis and pool table. Loved the free transportation around the place - super convenient and easy to arrange with the helpful staff.
Busy place, so was quite noisy which did affect our sleep. Also pool was busy with dive lessons which affected the availability at times. Breakfast could have been better.
The staff were very helpful and even invited us to join an event they had for other guests with fire dancers
It was a little off the beat in regards to not close to anything and we never did discover where the beach was
老闆的服務超級好!親力親為!連我們要早出門跑行程還幫我們外帶早餐跟毛巾,甚至安排司機帶我們前往下一家飯店
地理位置離鬧區較遠,但是有免費接駁車
飯店裡的貓咪好可愛,員工的工的服務態度也很好。
Lækre værelser. Fin morgenmad
Knap så god restaurant. Ligger langt fra alt.
員工服務的態度非常好。
慶祝旅館前的道路狀況不佳。
房間很乾淨,冷氣安靜,老闆親切且能提供許多建議與服務,只要完成訂房,check in之後就可以跟員工或老闆討論想要參加的行程,按摩、包車或是包船都可以提供,出入都可以預訂車輛接送,非常方便。

Everything! Location, food, service!! The staff is unreal!! The welcoming, the smile, the availability... I never felt so welcomed, at a place. Unforgettable!! Hope to come back again.
Clean and comfy room Nice pool area Perfect for diving Free motorbikes Friendly staff, they even bought a cake for our son's birthday!
Belle chambre, propre, personnel sympathique, belle piscine dans un coin calme. Dans le prix ils proposent, serviettes de plages, masque snorkeling, navette vers la plage.
Il n’y a rien autour de l’établissement mais nous avions pris cet hôtel car nous devions prendre le ferry le lendemain matin via la plage momo beach qui se situe juste à côté.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay that exceeded all our expectations. The staff’s attention and level of service were far better than what we have experienced in many five-star hotels, making us feel genuinely cared for in a very natural and warm way. We were truly surprised by how much effort they put into our comfort, helping us with every question and even providing services that were not included, going well beyond what we expected. Examples: when our child started climbing and playing, a staff member immediately came to look after and help him; they brought an electricity adapter to our room without us even asking after noticing we used different sockets; and they provided free motorbikes anytime for all family members, etc.
I really appreciated the resort's transportation service, they picked us up from other hotel for free, which I greatly appreciated. The free motorbikes were fantastic, we used them for four days, and they took us anywhere on Panglao Island. They also made sure the gas tanks were full each time we use it. Breakfast was a buffet and tasted good. The staff were very friendly and did their best to help us.
Our room was just above the kitchen, and during mealtimes, the smoky smell from cooking and the noise from the range hood made it difficult to stay in the room. The resort is located in a local residential area, and every early morning we were woken up by the crowing of chickens. I'm not talking about one chicken, but a whole flock, crowing incessantly from 3:30AM to 6 AM. and I'm surprised that no other guest mentioned the crowing in their reviews. We didn’t get enough sleep, although it wasn't the resort's fault.
מקום שקט ליד חוף הים. יש במלון בריכה וטוסטוס שאפשר לקחת. נותנים ציוד לשנורקל ומגבות. הסעה חינם מהמעבורת.
Facility is clean and staff are very accomodating will definitely come back.
30 second check in time, being a small size resort they can offer superior service, and they pick you up from the ferry/airport and drop you off to your next destination free of charge. Great value for money, Snorkelling tour was excellent and they provide all equipment you need
The staff were lovely, really helpful with everything - especially Ann & Mo. It's a bit out of the way and not right on the beach so the resort offers free scooters, free shuttle to & from Alona Beach and free snorkelling gear. They helped us with everything we needed - from organising dives, hiring a car and booking onward travel. 10 out of 10🫶
The app map shows it as right on the beach - it's not, there's no beach access. But the pool is great!
Het personeel, ze gaan echt een extra stap voor je. Ze denken mee, halen je op waar nodig, gratis scooters en altijd een glimlach. Toen mijn vriend jarig was gingen ze voor hem zingen en kregen we zelfs taart.. we hebben ons erg thuis gevoeld. Het duiken was super georganiseerd, het was een top dag. De bedden liggen lekker & de airco is stil.
Toch viel het eten in het algemeen tegen. Daar zouden ze nog aan kunnen werken. Er zit een hanen of kippen boerderij oid naast het hotel. Vanuit de kamer hoorden wij dit echt overduidelijk. Dat was toch wel erg balen. De massage was op je kamer op je eigen bed. Toch een andere ervaring dan als je dit ergens anders kan laten doen. De kamer was iets verouderd en ook de boven verdieping is het tapijt wel echt aan vervanging toe. Het ruikt niet lekker en het er zitten vlekken op. Goed dat is te overzien en niet heel erg.
Très bon emplacement, personnel au top, logement très propre, bon petit déjeuner, prêt de scooter ou navette à disposition, organisation des sorties.
Rien
Whatever guest wanted team happy to assist, transfers, food, diving, towels drop.off and collect in town
Little further outside Alona than expected.but support of staff at resort assisted this
Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choices. Dinner at the restaurant was really good. The pool was great, and they also had free motorcycles available, a free shuttle van, a pooltable, ping pong table and dart board. And the staff went above and beyond - very friendly and very helpful. And a beach that was great for sunset viewing was a 3 minute walk away. I would definitely stay at Mario Dive resort again.
The room was clean and very comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They helped us with all our requests and were very accommodating.
The food options were somewhat limited and could be improved overall.
老闆是台灣人, 所以溝通上沒有任何問題!老闆也有推薦我們參加他們的深潛體驗的活動, 我一開始是還在考慮, 因為我有帶5、7歲的小孩。但老闆說他們也可以帶小孩一起下去(一樣要聽課, 學一些簡單的指令和耳壓平衡)!最後我們家5歲的小孩, 因為耳壓平衡沒辦法做的很好, 所以大概只到兩米深~但教練還是很有耐心的陪他(爸爸、媽媽和哥哥都到5m以下了)!
去哪裡都有專人載,服務超好。也有潛水體驗,第一次潛水就上手。
Servicio incluido de traslado del aeropuerto y diariamente traslados a las diferentes playas de Panglao (recomendable la cercana Doljo beach), a Alona etc. Se trata de un centro de buceo, tienen barcos propios y orgzanizan excursiones no solo de buceo, tb de snorquel, p.ej a Balicasag y Pamilacan. Nos organizaron tambien ruta por Bohol. A pesar de no ser un alojamiento de grandes lujos, es excelene la relacion calidad/precio. Las habitaciones son grandes, limpias y las camas comodisimas. Nuestros hijos apreciaron mucho el tener motocicletas gratis, el billar, piscina etc. Estuvimos tan bien que alargamos la estancia 1 semana mas. Gracias a todo el personal por una estancia perfecta. Recordar tambien que nos dejaron hacer el check in a la 1 am y el check out a las 10 pm sin cargos.
Nada
Hotel gives free shuttle service from the airport + free scooter to roam the area. Breakfast is a buffet which is exceptionally good. Restaurant is brilll. Far from the hustle and bustle of Alona Beach. Owner and staff were very kind and answered all our needs.
All was good
Super Service, äußerst freundliches Personal, alles sehr sauber, selbst der Strand wurde täglich gereinigt, bis zum Riff leider weit , aber wenn man wollte wurde man kostenlos zu Schnorchelplätzen gefahren ( dort dann aber geringe Gebühr), als Start sehr empfehlenswert, super Preis/Leistungsverhältnis (fast) keine Mücken Essen schmackhaft
Ein näher am (eigenen) Strand liegendes Riff wäre das Sahnehäubchen gewesen
Mario Dive Resort is a little paradise. It’s a small resort but the amenities are top of the line - large room, super comfy beds, modern bathroom with really good water pressure haha (the reason I’m saying this is because I’ve been to a lot of resorts/hotels of this size in the Philippines but I usually get disappointed with the bathroom, water pressure and beds… Mario Dive Resort definitely exceeded my expectations). The restaurant, KTV room and recreation area is a plus. They also helped us with our countryside tour and island hopping tour and provided services at a reasonable price.
The reason I’m giving 9 is because at the last day of our 4D3N stay, I got sick. I had diarrhea from 3AM. I’m not sure if it’s from the food served from the previous night (I remembered being served a Mango Shake that’s very watered down and almost no sugar to which I complained about). The staff were very helpful tho. There was someone from the staff that went to town to get me gatorade at 5am… I’m very thankful! But that’s about it, overall, our family had an amazing stay!
Staff are as good as all the reviews. ANN is an angel. Got lots of info from her - most impressive was that the employees LIKE working there, are well-treated, given freedom to work - and it shows. Every single employee - reception (ANN), housekeeping, drivers, restaurant - all were just wonderful. Clean as a whistle. Comfy bed. Great shower, loads of hot water. Pool, pool table, ping pong, darts. Breakfast was good. Variety of stuff and they added fruit variety after we suggested more than one fruit per day. Smoothies were great. Service, James et al, excellent. Had lunch and dinner here, too sometimes. All went the extra mile. We stayed for 1 week so we gave them many chances! Free shuttles, scooters, arranged boat, did everything for us.
Soups are HUGE. Way too much for 1. Never mentioned this to Ann. Did not see any clues about this - the photo in menu does not give you any idea. Soups were nice though! Dart board is nice touch but is hurt by location. Mentioned this to restaurant staff but not ANN. They need to move the table in front or move the board. Wish we could have stayed longer.
The staff was very friendly and very helpful.
The room that may need some maintenance.
The employees are very friendly & are always willing to help. Since it is farther away from Alona beach it is a much quieter location. The rooms are adequate for a good night sleep. The breakfest is adequate for the morning, never tried the lunch or dinner menu. We had a rental car but the resort has motorcycles/scooters you can rent. Distance to airport is about 10 mins.
It's a 15 min drive to Alona beach where all the action is but they do have shuttle service. They need to redo the outdoor small whirlpool as the finishing rock on the inside is a little bit sharp, the main pool is fine though.
The resort provides free shuttle, pick ups, drop offs which are very handy. We also booked private car tour with them which was reasonably priced. They respond almost immediately to the WhatsApp messages. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help guests.
Food and breakfast could be improved
Friendly and accommodating staff.
We stayed 3 nights in their family room but unfortunately we had problem with toilet bowl which is a bit inconvenient specially with a child. Even tho they have free shuttle service I find the location inconvenient.
Friendly staff
Great resort, brilliant helpful staff, the whole stay was wonderful. We felt taken care of. The resort has great chefs, we ate at the restaurant every day, it was delicious. The hotel provides a scooter, it's very useful. The facility is super located, very close to Momo beach. Hot water and good pressure in the shower, the room is clean, drinking water is available free of charge. Mario resort was the first stop on our honeymoon and we really couldn't have found a better place. Thank you very much for everything.
Everything was fine
Very nice and helpful staff. Room clean and comfortable.
A bit far from everything/town. Not much to do at the property. Beach not good for swimming.
The people that work here are kind efficient and go out of their way to help guests..they offer free shuttle to Alona beach and anywhere in town you wish to visit or tour.My husband enjoyed the motorbike they loan as needed.We will come back here because of great costumer service and cleanliness of the place
They upgraded our rooms for free. They have breakfast buffet and karaoke room. The beach is in walking distance outside the resort but you ride their motorbike for free. Free use of snorkeling device and free shuttle from and to your destination. The staffs are very acommodating and kind.
You need to walk to the beach and no gym.
Super friendly staff, clean & comfy, and very very nice services! Provided with free scooter and shutter bus for yr ease to travel around and to the city. Diving package with the resort is worthy to go with.
Too good to complaint anything. 😂
Everything was perfect. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The staff was very attentive and was able to answer all of our questions about where to go and what to see. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which were all 3 great. We only stayed one night because we had a Ferry to take from Momo Beach to Oslob, which they took us too at 0530 and had breakfast ready beforehand, even though that was 1.5 hours before they usually start breakfast. We 100% recommend this place to anyone who was looking for somewhere to stay in that area!
N/A
They have a shuttle service to take you to different beaches that is wonderful
Location is not ideal but everything is close by and the shuttle makes up for that
We only stayed for one night but were really happy with the hospitality whilst we were there. The location was near Momo Beach where we needed to get the boat to Oslob in the morning so was very convenient. We used the scooters provided by the resort to travel down to Alona Beach during the day. The kids really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi in the evening.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff
The staff are very nice, friendly and helpful. For example, when we were swimming in the pool, the staff immediately put some towels on the bench for us to use without asking. There are plenty of choices of food for breakfast buffet, and of good quality and delicious. The boss, Mr. Cai, is very passionate and welcoming, he helped us a lot in planning our land tour and diving tour, we did have a lot of fun during the tours and enjoyed them very much! There is also free shuttle service provided by the resort, we can go to everywhere in the island by the shuttle, it's very convenient and comfortable.
NIL
Staff are very polite and helpful, free shuttle to everywhere.
Small and little old property. My room was in the first floor of main building whereas the kitchen is in the ground floor so when they start cocking smell is filling my room.
Staff are so friendly and the owner is very involved. The location is a bit remote but facility provides shuttle services to several major attraction places.
Room is furnished a bit simply especially the setup inside of the bathroom is pretty awkward for people to move around with the sink right next to the toilet seat. I bumped my head on the sink.
Breakfast was good.. location was good
We are family of four stayed for 4 nights at Mairo’s place. The management of the resort is impressive, room is spotlessly clean and spacious, the resort itself is quiet which is perfect for families, tho the location isn’t walkable to most of the tourist attractions, but they offer free shuttle service to anywhere on the island at any time. The staffs are very helpful and attention to detail. Walking distance to Momo beach which is quiet too, there are some locals living alone the beach and therefore trashes here and there, but we did find a spot which is clean with fine sandy beach, turquoise colored water just to ourselves. All in all we had a nice stay and would recommend anyone come to Panglao.
Nothing
We liked that it was very quiet and away from the noise and we could sleep peacefully at night. The staff were very friendly and helpful to our needs. They offer free shuttle service to and from Alona beach. 10pm is the last pick up and they even called me to ensure we were picked up. On one of our shark whale trip, they provided us with snorkels and towels.
Not sure if it was because of the hotel or something else, but my daughters woke up with lots of bites on their body. Not sure if there was bed bugs on the bed or not.
The customer focus of the staff is just wow! They accommodated all our needs, within and beyond the usual hotel scope of services. Free transportation around, complimentary late checkout, efficient coordination with transport and tour providers. We also tried diving experience they provide and were very satisfied with the attention and professionalism they handled the service. Personal thanks to the resort manager Ann.
They are providing great service in the resort, from transport, free scooter renting, giving information, food…everything was really done with passion! I could check-in early to my room to do a dive with them und the morning; AC was really good and silent.
nothing- it was just perfect
Their facilities and services are good 👍😊 they have a free shuttle everytime you go outside around Panglao island
The staff was do kind and the place is beautiful
Location was not exactly at the beach and the acces to the resort was difficult
Mario resort provided very convincing facility even it did not located alona beach but they's hospitality even more than what you paid for, everything is fantastic. My family are really enjoying and will cime back soon.
None.
pool. free shuttle to alona beach and airport. and a quiet beach near by too.
location is a bit poor but shuttle makes up for it.
pool was great. staff were amazing. free transport around Panglao was super! free motorbikes also a nice perk. great recommendations of places to go. Wi-Fi was awesome and TV had tons of channels.
room was not as described which was a bummer. beds were full size, not queen. room was basic, but clean. location was meh - close to momo beach but nothing to do there and not clean when we were in town. however they made up for it with their great hospitality and recommendations on where to go explore. a good stay for sure!
the staffs are so nice. food is delicious and fresh. chicken wing is so juicy. we order it every night after diving. the resort and room are great and comfortable. the environment is clean and neatly.
no
amazing staff, very polite and super helpful! they helped us on the organization of our trip and also rented us a scooter for free
Amazing Crew and service. Absolutely fantastic and it was a wonderful experience. Food is yummy and room spacious and sparkling clean.
This is a hotel specifically catering to dive enthusiast. The staff are incredibly accommodating and friendly. I will stay here again on my next dive trip to Bohol
nothing
The place is the best considering it was on a less crowded part of Panglao. Place was spick and span quiet, owner Mario, Anne and staff friendliest and most courteous. They assisted us almost round the clock in every inquiries we have. They provided transport to and from center of the island for free. Would definitely go back there to bring my family. Most recommended.
everything! - super helpful and accommodating staff - free motorbike and shuttle anywhere in panglao which makes the location really fine - comfortable beds - thoughtful room amenities - staff are always available and goes above and beyond to give you an excellent stay!! exceeded our expectations!
