Bohol Tropics Resort

Staying at Bohol Tropics

It was a birthday gift from my husband... i was treated for a trip to Bohol last July 2, 2010. I was looking for a good hotel in the internet and was mesmerized by the pictures that Bohol Tropics posted. When we arrived, i was not disappointed because the whole resort/hotel is really beautiful especially the pool area. My husband and I smiled as we approached the front desk... I don't like to mention name but the girl is really not front desk material. I don't remember hearing her greet us at least good afternoon. Or a little smile thank you for choosing us. Lucky for us, the other front desk person (guy or gay...hehehe) is really friendly.
I would like to commend the waiters at Cafe Atanacio. Super accommodating.
I would still recommend this resort but this one front desk person will ruin anybody's day.

Unique Quality: Pool is great. I love swimming.

Good Resort - Poor Restaurant

Where to begin? The resort itself is very nice. The rooms are modern, clean and well maintained. The pools were really the showcase of the resort as they are beautiful. I did find however that the service was lacking. While at the pool no one came to see if we would like a beverage and there were no towels for the pool, we were told to use the towels from our room. The staff in the restaurant was likewise not very service oriented. During one meal there were about 5 guests dining but every other table was left with dirty dishes. During a breakfast I was brought a cup of syrup for my waffles and it was covered with ants, the waiter never even bothered to look at what he was serving. Finally, every single morning the breakfast was brought to the table cold, as if just taken from a fridge. I found this to be annoying as cold scramble eggs and cold waffles are not to my liking.

I would certainly NOT recommend this resort to anyone at this time.

Unique Quality: The pools were wonderful!!

Excellent Service away from Panglao

This place has excellent service compared to Panglao Island. The room we stayed in was much nicer and larger than the Superior room in Bohol Beach Club, but of course you don't have the nice beach (and the beach wasn't that great anyway).

The front desk staff are highly trained. They answered many difficult questions I had regarding transportation and have a wonderful female employee who does most of the work for you.

Ordered ube ice cream and it was delivered in around 5 minutes one night (average time in Bohol Beach Club was more than 15 mins). Got 2 wonderul massages from blind masseuses and they even stayed longer than scheduled time. AMAZING. The restaurant's service, choice of food, and location was magical.

Unique Quality: The communication between staff made the difference for me. Called because of a faulty phone and staff was there in minutes. Left a message for the transportation rep at front desk with many variables, and not one mix up. They use walkie-talkies and are aware of everything going on.

d'best!

Bad Experience

August 2002. We booked the Presidential suite, paid in advance to secure the accomodation. They confirmed that we have the suite. We were excited because we saw the pictures online and it was really nice.

We checked in, signed all paperwork, etc. We were led to our room.... Only that it wasn't the presidential suite that we reserved. I said there must be some mistake. The hotel employee must have thought we were so stupid he even said that was the best accomodation they have, that they have upgraded our accomodation.

We walked out of there, lugging our stuff with us, went straight to the front desk and said we are not staying. Customer service sucked... There weren't even apologies or anything. They acted really arrogant. I told then to eat our reservation fee, and left...

Seaside hotel

Stayed here in February 2006.

Positive points:

Free Wifi hotspot in the lobby
nice-sized rooms
nice helpful staff

Negative points:

Breakfast is not included
A bit far from the centre.
Although called "resort" there is no beach
The rooms with a sea view are quite a way back form the sea with variuos obstructions

Conclusion:

Next time I would probably stay in the Metrocentre hotel, which is in the centre.

ENCHANTING HOTEL LOVED IT

Stayed at This Resort for Two Weeks May 2004, Loved it, It has an enchanting atmosphere, with the location overlooking Tagbilaran Bay watching all the Super Cat Ferries coming in and out of the harbor. Three fabulous swimming pools will keep you occupied it you are a swimmer. The sounds of live bands at night sweep through the air from the second story restaurant that overlooks the swimming pools and the harbor also.
We stayed at the former presidential suite , which was a great location overlooking the swimming pools and harbor and restaurant. Only thing my gf didnt like there is no beach in Tagbilaran Bay, you have to go to Alona Beach, Panglao Island, So anyway we left from there to go to Boracay, and loved the beach there , so everyone was happy, Absolutely love this hotel
