Beach. Staff. Breakfast is great and has many food selection and varies everyday. Rooms by the beach are very nice. Spa by the beach. Airport shuttle for group of families.

The resort is open for day tour guests, which is very disappointing. There should be a special area for day tour guests (sometimes come as a big group) as they stay the whole day and occupy the nicest spots to enjoy and relax by the beach, and affects privacy of in house guests.

Oceanica resort is truly a tropical paradise. The staff is amazing - everyone was very nice and assisted us with any questions, helped us organize transfers, tours, etc. Our beachfront room was very comfortable. It was cleaned well every day. Breakfast and the restaurant menu were good too. And of course the beach is wonderful. If you want to have a peaceful and relaxing time at the beach or at the pool and pool bar, it's better to use a more tranquil East wing of the resort (poolside rooms and the larger premium beachfront rooms are located there), as the day walk-in guests are not allowed in that part of the resort. Also the best snorkeling spots are closest to the East wing.

comfy bed. nice beach and resort staff

we notice that they allow outsiders to just come & go specially foreigners that makes it crowded during daytime & occupying the areas that were suppose to be for the legit guests of the resort. food & drinks are a bit expensive

love that you have access to 2 pools, and the whole property is nice and quiet. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. There are ramps for PWDs and the property is very PWD-friendly. We love that there's free access to south farm and you can also rent a paddle/kayak board for free. There's also a recreation center which my friend and I enjoyed playing at. Gym is available 24 hours - sad I wasn't able to use it though! Love that happy hour starts at 7am! lol

Check in is at 3pm.. All hotels I've stayed at always had a 2pm check in and when we asked the staff, they just said, it is what it is... Food was a bit pricey and you can find cheaper options outside the hotel.

Beautifully maintained grounds Palm trees and beach area is amazing Super comfortable bed Great ocean views Pools nice enough to cool down

Restaurant food was average, restaurant prices to high for average taste and quality Daily functions at resorts annoying Book massages, transportation and tours outside of resort - resort prices are ridiculously high. Not a swim beach - very flat

We liked the rooms, the facilities, the beach access, the massages and especially the staff. Also,the fact that the water sports facilities (paddle boards, kayaks)could be used for free was a great plus.

We didn’t realise that we were some distance from the restaurants and night life of Alona Beach. But the benefit of no crowds at the South Palms outweighed this disappointment. My wife and I wanted to play volleyball but the court seemed to be constantly taken over by locals who weren’t staying at the resort and who refused to let us play on the court, even though they were not using it. Very disappointing.

Private property and it seems like you have the island all to yourself

The food was so expensive that I might not go back because of it even if the amenities were beautiful. The food was priced as if you were ordering from a 5 star resort. They could have lowered it just a bit to refrain from people going outside of the resort to look for a better food value. It was delicious but 300 for a fruit shake and 200 pesos for soda is exhorbitant.

I really liked how attentive, accomodating, and friendly the staff were! The food was DELICIOUS. Large serving for the price (esp in a hotel/resort) and menu is very diverse, which made me feel no need to ever leave the property to go to the main bohol beach for meals. The beach and beachfront areas were beautiful with many staff who attend to you promptly. The whole property was so big, beautiful, peaceful and well maintained. The facilities i made use of (pool & spa) were amazing. The outdoor beachfront spa massage was an amazing experience!! Highly recommend this property and will be coming back again for sure! Especially loved the touch of turn down service!

The garden room i stayed in was quite far from the main beach and restaurant which made the walk back and forth a little long but not enough to ruin the experience by any means. The room i stayed in was also just okay and seems outdated compared to the other rooms on the property. However the bed was large and extremely comfortable and staff kept the room very clean and well stocked with towels, bath essentials, and water.

Beautiful beach, wonderful surroundings with palm trees, good-quality rooms.

The hotel allows non-guests to use its facilities, including beach access, sun loungers, and the restaurant, which means there are often a lot of people, making it hard to find a quiet spot for yourself, even though the hotel grounds are quite large. The restaurant service and quality of the food leave much to be desired. Breakfasts are tasty, but the lunch and dinner experience doesn’t meet the standards of a hotel aspiring to be the best in Bohol.

The resort has a nice location and is designed in a very pleasent way. Although its big, it is very spacious and you do not have the feeling that it is crowded. The room was nice, comfortable and calm. We very appreciated the breakfast buffet, it offered a very wide selection of meals, beverages, sweet pastry and exotic fruits. The personnel was very kind and friendly.

The beach looks nice, but does not have such clear water as other islands of the Philippines we stayed at. Overally this was the worst beach, but still compared to some Bali or Thai beaches much better - simply the standards and expectations at the Philippines are much higher than in other South East Asian countries.
