Liwayway sa Bohol Pamilacan Resort

Expérience sur une toute petite ile. Très bon accueil. Belle plage et snorkeling. Chambres grandes et propres.

La posizione, il personale e anche il contesto autentico

Niente

Vlakbij het strand. Waar je mooi kunt snorkelen.

De kamer was niet schoon. Er was alleen vitrine opgehangen. Iedereen kon zo naar binnen kijken, dus geen privacy. Er was ook geen sleutel, dus de deur kon niet op slot. Nu is dat hier ook niet echt nodig, maar heel fijn is het ook niet. Ook een airco zou een verbetering zijn.

L'emplacement est idéal, face à la mer et aux récifs coralliens. Le cabanon est légèrement isolé sur l'arrière du terrain, en surplomb. Il est charmant avec une jolie terrasse. Les hôtes sont très gentils et toujours prêts à aider. Les chiens sont adorables. La nourriture est bonne et on peut manger tous les jours les pieds dans le sable, a l'ombre d'un grand arbre. Un petit paradis.

Ce n' est pas un point négatif pour nous mais sachez qu'il n'y a pas d'eau courante. Le personnel vient remplir un réservoir tous les jours pour nous permettre d'avoir de l'eau (a température ambiante, ou chaude si les bidons sont laissés au soleil quelques heures) pour se doucher. Ça fait partie du charme de la vie insulaire.

La chambre dans laquelle nous avons dormi etait confortable avec une jolie vue mer

On nous a changé de chambre. Mais on ne nous a pas propose de rembourser la difference de prix entre les deux chambres. Un des employers (qui participe au snorkling) avait une attitude etrange (m’a pris en photo ou video alors que je retirais mes vetements pour me mettre en maillot de bain) Les plats sont bons pour la plupart mais peu de quantite pour le petit dejeuner et les prix sont chers pour la bas Attention demandez bien en avance les tarifs pour les navettes de bateaux…..! Nous sommes quand même passé de 3500 pesos à 4500 une fois à l’hotel…

La pension est agréable, tenue par du personnel souriant et accueillant Attention à la chambre que vous réservez, autant la grande avec terrasse et toilette est fort agréable, autant la petite est exiguë. Ici, pas d’eau courante, mais même si nous avons fait attention à réduire notre consommation, nous n’avons manqué de rien. Le wifi marche très bien. Le jardin de corail est magnifique, le must étant les tortues qui ont établi un spot à une centaine de mètres de la pension et quelques dizaines de mètres de la côte.

Le tarif des taxis varie du simple au double en fonction de la personne présente à l'accueil.

Located on a clean beach with a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great staff. Your boat can park right in front of the.

No top shelf alcohol available.

L'accueil est au top! La sortie snorkelling proposée était très chouette, manger les pieds dans le sable est génial mais surtout, une fois les touristes partis, on a la plage rien qu'à nous ! On

Une petite île idyllique avec des paysages de carte postale, une plage paradisiaque, très bon spot pour le snorkeling avec beaucoup d'animaux marins et un petit village avec des habitants très avenants.

Rien, tout était superbe

Superbe séjour à Pamilacan, tout a été dit dans les précédents commentaires, on vient ici pour se ressourcer, prendre le temps et pouvoir faire du snorkeling sans aucun touriste ce qui est un vrai privilège et du karaoké si le cœur vous en dit ☺️

On a juste eu quelques difficultés pour venir depuis Baclayon, juste avoir en tête qu’il est préférable de passer par Panglao

L'île, la vie sur l'île, les repas proposés par l'hébergement sont très bons.

Dernière commande au restaurant à 18h. Fermeture à 20h. Heureusement il y a le Joy's café à 100m où la cuisine est aussi tres bonne.

A quiet, small island getaway with a peaceful beachfront. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making your stay comfortable. Great spot for seeing turtles up close—perfect for nature lovers. Highly recommended if you’re looking to unwind away from crowds.

Nothing to dislike.

Séjour merveilleux, très bien accueilli dans un site magnifique. Restauration et massages sur place, les meilleurs de notre séjour aux Philippines. Famille accueillante et arrangeante pour faciliter votre séjour.

Confort limité mais déjà très bien pour un bungalow. Pas mal de monde tant que les excursions à la journée ne sont pas parties, puis c'est le paradis !

We had a wonderful stay at Liwaway. The experience was absolutely superb from start to finish. The hosts are incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive — they truly make you feel at home. The setting is simply idyllic: crystal-clear water, peaceful surroundings, and a beautiful natural atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to relax and disconnect. Everything about our stay was enjoyable, and we would not hesitate to come back. If you’re looking for an authentic and peaceful escape in paradise, Liwaway is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Nous avons apprécié l'emplacement les pieds dans l'eau et la disponibilité de la gérante (très chaleureuse). Elle nous a beaucoup aidé tout au long de notre séjour en répondant à chacune de nos questions et ne réservant chacune des excursions souhaitées (dauphins, snorkeling, tortues et retour). Les massages n'était pas cher et vraiment très bien !

A notre arrivée nous avons attendu un certain temps pour avoir notre hébergement (une autre famille est arrivée une heure après nous et a eu son hébergement avant).

Sur une île authentique, des bungalows enfouis dans la végétation. À quelques mètres de l’eau.

Sehr schöner Blick aufs Meer von unserem Bungalow, direkt am Meer gelegen und ein toller Service im Restaurant, alle Wünsche wurden zu jeder Zeit erfüllt, persönlicher Charme durch die Betreiberin und dem Personal, immer zu jeder Bestellung wurde frisches Service Wasser gereicht,

Wenig Wasser zum Waschen, aber Wasser ist knapp auf der Insel und damit muss man rechnen, Wasser ist kostbar und muss aufwendig bereit gestellt werden….

La cuisine, l’emplacement et le personnel

Die Anlage befindet sich unmittelbar am Strand, wo die Boote von Bohol ankommen. Morgens legen viele Boote an, am Nachmittag fahren alle Tagesgäste zurück. Dann wird es recht ruhig am Strand, und man kann ungestört schnorcheln. Zu sehen gibt es schöne Korallen mit Fischen und einige Schildkröten. Hinter der Anlage gelangt man ins Dorf und zu den anderen Stränden. Im Dorf gibt es einige Kioske mit vor allem Getränken. Essen geht man am besten direkt im Liwayway Restaurant, wo es auch eine Bar gibt. Die Preise sind angemessen, dennoch genug Bargeld mitbringen! Die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter versuchen alle Wünsche zu erfüllen und sind sehr freundlich. Das Familienzimmer ist ein separater Bungalow mit Terrasse und Meerblick, am hinteren Ende der Anlage gelegen.

Auf der Insel regnet es selten. Darum ist Wasser ein kostbares Gut. Es gibt kein fließendes Wasser, doch wird Waschwasser in Kanistern bereitgestellt. Zum Trinken gibt es eine Flasche gefiltertes Wasser im Zimmer und auch zu den Mahlzeiten. Dennoch ist es ratsam, einen Behälter Trinkwasser mitzubringen. Lebensmittel kann man nirgends aufbewahren, weil alles die Ameisen fressen. Ebenso ist mit Insektenstichen zu rechnen.

Si tratta di un isola di fronte a Panglao bellissima la barriera corallina il personale molto simpatico e accogliente

Doversi lavare con una bacinella perché non c'è acqua neppure nel lavandino né nel gabinetto e neppure nelle docce si tratta di un isola con tante problematiche e pochi confort. Ciò non toglie che sia un esperienza bellissima

A beautiful local experience whereby you feel like you are away from the commercialization of the big resorts. Of course the accommodation is basic but that’s island life! The staff were great. Very friendly. Also massage on site. The sea is Cristal clear and of course the snorkeling and diving in the area is excellent. A great island to explore for local life.

The food was OK, could have been a little better but it’s the same everywhere on the island. Note that a boat from bohol should be in the region of 3-500 pesos.

Amazing place! Really comfortable bungalows with ocean-view. Really good snorkeling and a nice beach right in front of the hotel. Also the food and drinks (fruit juices, ice coffee etc..) were super delicious. But the best part was the manager Ivy, she was so friendly and took really good care of us. We‘ve could easily spend more than 4 nights here.

Nothing. Maybe a hammock would be nice :-)

l’hôtel est très agréable et les chambres finalement confortables : literie,ventilateur, salle de bains très propre le point fort est la plage paradisiaque avec les coraux , les tortues et poisson devant l’hôtel la plus belle plage de notre séjour à Bohol nous somme restés une nuit à coté de l’hôtel un bar tenue par un français : du vins , des apéros : très sympa aussi

service du " restaurant" de l’hôtel très lent .... mais bon et sympathique !

Pour ceux qui recherchent calme , nature , authenticité

U are right on the sea, next to the coral gardens sanctuary so u can just walk into the water and have great snorkeling. The room was pretty big and plenty of power. The food was great and the staff were terrific. They arranged all the things that create a stress free experience.

Ivy, Gaga and all the staff were so friendly, thank you so much for everything. The bedroom was big enough for the 4 of us, the scenery on the beach was stunning, the snorkling with turtles and beautiful corals right in front of the hotel and the food. You can have breakfast whenever you want which was really great for us. We had such a great time even though we got stuck on the island because of a typhon :D Thank you again for everything. We miss you and Pamiliacan !

Absolute Paradise This is without doubt the best place in The Philippines. The accommodation is great, food amazing, staff wonderful and if that wasn’t enough there is world class snorkelling right out the front. Beautiful thriving coral on the doorstep and each snorkelling adventure is graced with multiple turtle encounters. All the locals are warm and friendly and there is plenty of exploring to be done in the other areas on the island. The staff go out if their way to make sure everything is just right.

If you take it for what it is, it’s 10/10 on every level.

The place - beach front

We really like our original room. On the 2nd day, there was a foul smell. I'm not sure if it was near our room around the resort or if it was their neighbor. It smelled like a dead animal. We needed to change room, but they moved us to a smaller room, but let us pay for using the AC. On the 2nd day, I ordered their filipino breakfast cause of the fried rice. But when they served it, it wasn't fried. The cook said, "Yeah, you can also get steamed rice," I said, I specifically ordered filipino breakfast cause of the fried rice. They use cheap rice, so if it's not fried, it's not good. At night, their staff was singing KARAOKE the whole night. We went there to relax, not to hear drunk singing people. They can do it at their home and not at the place where we pay for to relax. They could have asked their guests if they could do karaoke as a courtesy. On our last day, i needed to order breakfast ahead (cause it takes them 1hr or more to prepare ANY MEAL) since we need to leave at 7AM. I spoke to the cook and told he that we need the breakfast prepared before we leave, so most probably, it should be served at 6AM. And she said, "i can make sandwiches for you and your partner," so i asked, is it part of the breakfast menu? She said no. Got me thinking, SHE'S LAZY. They do not have other guests. Take note. I was also advised by their staff a day before that their food cost from PHP150 - PHP300. It's not. It's from 350-450 and very small portions. The rice is not even worth it. Even their sandwiches.

warm welcome and make feel at home

Fantastic stay in a great location. Friendly staff who were very obliging. Great food and clean rooms. Highly recommend!

They only have like 1 or 2 restaurant in the island and water is not very accessible

The team was absolutely fabulous! Thank you for the karaoke, the snorkeling and especially for your kindness!! This is the perfect place to stay in the Philippines.

It was just perfect experience, Elvira and her team was very kind, helpful and experienced. Paradise experience. Beautiful place, very tasty food and beautiful coral reef wirh turtles just on the beach.

Incredibly friendly, family run place with basic but clean and tidy facilities. The rooms are just a place to sleep, while the beautiful beach is where you spend your days doing nothing much more than snorkelling and relaxing. An amazing spot.

Overall im very satisfied with the stay - the island was perfect to spend a few days and unwind. I was prepared for the lack of luxury and in fact that's the charm of it. There are several accommodation compounds on the island next to each other but I believe this one was the best since people congregated to it the most. The staff were really helpful with everything and a nice eating area made the place looking comfortable. THe food is good and varied. if you're bored you can try eating somewhere else for lunch. The fact that you can go swimming with the turtles on the right and enjoy a world-class coral reef on the left, it's a massive winning point!! The island itself is also great to walk around and meet the friendly locals.

The accommodation compound is fairly compact, almost crowded. There's dogs that patrol that area and they can be noisy. Also the walls of the bungalows are thin, so just be prepared. Finally, the beaches on the island are slightly underwhelming - not easy to swim or be lazy around them, I was hoping for the other beaches around the island to be more remote and idyllic, but Im afraid they were just average. Still worth spending the time on the island even if the views are not picture-perfect.

Our stay at this hotel was an absolute dream. The location was incredibly peaceful, right on the beach, with the soothing sound of waves providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation. We could snorkel and swim with turtles just steps from our door, which was truly magical. The staff were unbelievably friendly, making us feel warmly welcomed – almost like part of the family. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and featured an excellent bed for a great night's sleep. Initially, we planned to stay for three nights, but we loved it so much that we extended our stay. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility and unforgettable experiences! I was extremely satisfied with the breakfast at this hotel! There was a great selection, catering to both Western and Filipino tastes. The Western breakfast included a variety of bread, crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, fresh fruit, and a choice of coffee or tea – everything was delicious and well-prepared. For those looking for a more local experience, there was also the option of a Filipino breakfast, offering authentic flavors and a taste of the culture. The variety and quality made for a wonderful start to the day.

Nothing about the hotel disappointed me. Everything met or exceeded my expectations, making my stay truly enjoyable.

Unfortunately we only planned 2 nights, but we could have easily stayed longer. Snorkeling right in front of the accommodation is great, in the coral garden (unfortunately only with a guide) or alone with the turtles! We had a room with a small terrace (great) and a smaller room in the middle of the garden (unfortunately without seating outside) The staff was very friendly (helped us with organizing our boattrip) and the atmosphere on the small island is generally very pleasant! Be sure to take a walk and buy some bread rolls at the bakery! Breakfast and food were OK, a little more expensive - but you're on a small island! The neighbor's videoke wasn't too loud. The day tourist from Panglao/Bohol are not really disturbing the ambience.

Quiet and friendly place. Business running by a family. Very large and comfortable rooms. Location is perfect. You have a coral reef garden just in front of the hotel. There are turtles and one of the most beautiful reefs I've ever seen. Delicious and eco dishes. The staff will help you to get to the Island from Bohol and get back. Just contact them. Friendly dogs around so take a dog food with you. On Bohol you can buy it at 7 Eleven. Here on the Island there is no chance to buy it.

Very nice location and super staff

Very nice. Just there wasn’t running water, but that’s part of the remote experience in a nice community

This is an incredible nice place to stay. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. This is the perfect place to come to and enjoy life on this beautiful island. During the day you can go snorkelling in the beautiful coral garden and at night you can watch an incredible night sky.

Everything is fine, great location, beautiful place, nice staff. Room was clean, big and comfortable. Lovely breakfast

Fantastic host Ivy and all other staff very friendly and helpful. Great location and a clean spacious room. Food quality very good but a little expensive. Extended our stay by one night. Hire a boat with guide to see the turtles and corals...recommended

No air conditioning and no running water in the room. Water is supplied in containers brought across from Bohol. The mosquitos love a room with no AC so be aware!

Lovely and quiet

I loved my 4 night stay at Liwayway Sa Bohol and wish I could have stayed even longer! People - the staff and the local people in the village - here are so sweet and the location in the tiny island of Pamilacan absolutely wonderful. My room had a terrace and view of the sea; it was spacious, clean and comfortable. Warm welcome by Ivy at the reception. Food cooked by lovely Gaga and the kitchen team was delicious. The owner, Elvira, is environmentally aware and offered many interesting conversations and local recommendations for my onward travel. I also loved the skillful massages by Gina and highly recommend her. This is the perfect, natural place for those who appreciate peace and simple pleasures of being outside in the nature, enjoying the ocean and listening to the sea and seeing stars at night.

For me this place was ideal. Other guests may want to consider the fact that this is a quiet, simple place with limited water resources - there is no running water, so you will wash with a scoop from a bucket instead. Please be mindful that they have to bring the fresh washing water from the mainland, so use it sparingly!

We had such a wonderful stay at Liwayway. Comfortable room, tasty food and overall very welcoming staff. We only stayed 2 nights, but wished we would have stayed longer. Pamilacan is the perfect place to unwind, with paradisiac beaches and local feeling.

Nothing.

The place is unique, and we will always conserve our best memories here. However, it requires some spirit of adaptation, since in dry times, there is no running water, and you will have to use a tank of water for everything. Also the rooms and cottages are really nice as they are built in their traditional way. Be aware however that there will be other living animals inside the room given the open spaces in the hut (there is a mosquito net on the bed ). So, expect to adapt to slow island conditions, and you will be rewarded with an amazing experience. We guarantee that this resort is the best in the island. I give "only" 8 because I think the shower system with the tank can be improved in the bathroom to save water, and also we had some misunderstandings on the first night and for this reason we didn't shower on the first night.

Beautiful island with great snorkeling spots and extraordinary beaches. Accomodation was perfect, very cosy and beautiful little village. The staff was extremly kind and hospitable. Great food which you can enjoy directly on the beach. The place is super romantic. We would recommend it to anybody and would definitely choose this place again.

Nothing at all.

Spacious comfortable room on a little paradise island Staff were nice and friendly and organised a dolphin spotting boat trip but unfortunately we didn't see any! There are several very friendly dogs who we loved seeing every day. Food was tasty and a fair price considering the location. There was no running water for the toilet and shower but we were provided with ample water every day to use so we didn't mind, it added to the island experience for us!

The only downside was the cost of the boat transfer through the hotel, I feel this cost should be specified on the booking description, but it is worth it to spend time on this lovely island.

Away from mass tourism. Relaxed bacj to basic

There could be a bit more atmosphere trough garden, decororation and layout.

Absolutely amazing! Located in Pamilacan,Liwayway is the perfect location to enjoy relaxing time immersed in a beautiful island. The staff is incredible, they helped us to organise the return trip from Bacalyon and exploring the coral garden. Food is delicious! We wished we could have stayed longer! Thanks to Elvira and staff

The place is amazing. I really loved the Island and the experience in general. The people were super friendly, the food was very very good. I was there on my Birthday and they made a rice cake and decorated the table... What a way to start my year. Thank you!

I would have loved to stay longer but maybe one day I can come back...

We absolutely loved our stay! The photos don't do this place justice - it's very clean and spacious. The staff does a fantastic job in keeping this place tidy, which is hard because they don't have running water. The location is wonderful, right next to the turtle point and reef. We also loved the food - it's delicious and much better than in other places on the island. The people are the friendliest, and the staff is absolutely lovely! We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet moment and some snorkeling.

Exceptional place with lovely staff

nothing!

nice place and lovely staff

Our room was big, beautiful, clean and really comfortable, it’s just in front of the beach and the dining is actually under a beautiful big tree on the beach. The owner Elvira was always helpful and giving us advice for activities on the islands. They came to pick us up in bohol. The price always fair.

It’s not a defect but the island is small and sometimes there is no water, we used a bucket for shower and toilet but always with clean water. Also no air conditioning but 3 big nice fan

This is not to be missed a paradise island with a fantastic host don't be put off by the getting there the resort has its own outrigger boat to collect you from Bohol

We had a power cut

Friendly, nice and clean. Located in a beautiful area. Host takes care about the environment, animals and reef on the island.

No AC, traditional shower (bucket) We think the room might had bedbugs.

Elvira and her staff are absolutely wonderful, helping with transport and suggesting the nicest lunch and diner options. the private beach is quiet, which cannot be said of the neighbours place where boats and people come and go all day.

the rooms get a little hot, but opening all windows and sliding door in combination with the fans will make it better. wifi is almost never working.

The cottages are right on the beach, the view is breathtaking and Elvira was amazing and super helpful. she gave us lots of tips during our time on Pamilacan and helped us sort out our transfer. I can only recommend that place and hope to be back one day.

nothing

What an amazing hospitality. Interesting people happy to share their stories and culture. The staff organised an amazing birthday celebration for my daughter. It exceeded a lot our expectations! In addition the food was excellent. Beautiful beach with few playful dogs playing there.

Nothing. It was simple, quiet and authentic!

Idyllic and surprisingly well appointed. it was like a little tropical island hideaway just for us! Elvira, the proprietor was the perfect host. all the ladies were wonderful and the bargain massages were great. Pamilacan is so idyllic and I would highly recommend the journey if you want to connect with the heavenly nature.

Getting to Pamilacan is difficult to say the least. it’s a real shame but maybe a good thing so the island doesn’t get overrun with tourists!

Magical place with magical team that just wanna give you the best experience in your vacation. food is really good, rooms are very clean and we just enjoyed staying here.

Water sometimes turns off.

An amazing place to stay which enables you to really appreciate this tiny, beautiful island and all it has to offer. Definitely worth staying a night,or three! Elvira was so helpful with everything including organising transport and she knows so much about the island,what to see and do. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, beautiful corals and fish in the sanctuary. You can snorkel straight from the beach outside of the sanctuary area. Had a pleasant walk to the fishing village on the other side of the island and a wonderful massage from one of the local women. Her staff were very friendly and we had excellent food and lots of fresh fish! Many thanks for making our stay so comfortable. We definitely recommend this place.

We liked everything. We travelled we 3 little children and we felt at home. Wonderful place and wonderful staff.

We liked everything.

Great accommodations in an already beautiful place. The huts are spacious and comfortable, with good amenities. We were prepared for a bit of a rustic stay given Pamilacan's relative remoteness, but honestly the property exceeded expectations: water never ran out, electricity was never cut, and the sea breeze was as cool as and fresher than any A/C. Gorgeous beachfront near the Coral Garden, and the restaurant serves good food (prices are a bit high, but this is a given on remote islands). Ma'am Elvira and the staff were attentive and welcoming, and their dogs are well-behaved and friendly.

On arrival, the rooms' water supply had to be turned on still, and there was a delay cleaning one of our huts. Minor gripes though!

The menus served here are nice, and very reasonable prices. Prices for drinks too. Janette and her team are always present to help you also to find and contact activities around.

Nothing

Me and partner really enjoyed are stay. Great location. Staff a real asset to owner, very friendly and made great food. Would highly recommend.

Only stayed for 4 days!!!!
