Roman Empire Panglao Boutique Resort

It was a great experience. We were just unable to explore the hotel more as we are too tired so we just stayed there to sleep but it was perfect. The location is easy to access, the staff are friendly and the room is so clean.

Could have been better, there seems to be breakdown in communication in cleaning rooms where they missed twice. When they came to clean up, the guy commented with sarcasm whilst the other two women apologised.They even left a message to not use the mat in the toilet but there is no floor mat and the street in the hotel entrance is rough road and very muddy due to rain. Not sure how they expect guests to walk around the toilet/room.  The shower is timed which lasts for only few seconds (ok for handwashing only) we ended up pressing every few seconds  i have never been in a hotel with a shower such as theirs.  On positive note, Dave the driver and Vern in the restaurant were both very nice. Kudos to them. Otherwise, good value for money. Birds are also entertaining. Pool are nice features but could be clean.

Service is extremely good - bar/restaurant has attentive and friendly staff. Hotel/resort has an excellent swimming pool, kept very clean, although with only one set of steps to climb in. Somewhat hazy historical knowledge of the actual Roman Empire, though: dates are incorrect (168 BC???) and the map of the alleged Roman Empire has too many mistakes to mention. Roman women are shown in Egyptian costume rather than what we know Roman matronae wore. The failing is in their administration. We pre-booked a pick-up from the airport, which they "forgot". We only waited ten minutes or so, the time it takes to drive from hotel to airport. Our friends were less lucky; they waited 45 minutes in the morning, with the same experience of their booking having been forgotten. The telephone is often not answered, although there were always at least two people at the reception desk everytime we walked past. Rooms were clean and orderly, although our room had a light which it was impossible to turn off.

The pool was lovely and very maintained. Room was a good price for what it was. However nobody came to service the room despite me switching the room service switch on. This seems to be a pattern in the Philippines - not sure if this is something you have to request?

Excellent place, located near Alona beach and other establishments. Will definitely consider again.

The hotel location is near very close to the airport. Near enough to Alona area although for from Tagbilaran. It's a nice place to stay If you like to swim. Staff is very friendly and more professional than other places. I would rate them at 4star.. Here comes the negatives. My daughter cut her big toe because there was a damaged tile on the bottom of the pool. They treated my daughter but the biggest concern is that they did not warn other swimmers and I didn't see anymore do the repair even on the next day. Air-conditioner is underpowered for the room and takes a very long time to cool. Not to mention it was noisy with some kind of squealing sound. The breakfast is decent value for money but all other dishes there I would consider to be on the pricey side as its about the same price in Alona Beach which is the main tourist area. In front of the hotel and it's parking area is still all gravel so very dusty!
