Almost nobody sleeps near the Chocolate Hills. The inland municipalities around Carmen have very little accommodation stock, so this is not a top-ten list — it is the complete set of rated, bookable properties within 25 km. If you want the hills at first light without a two-hour pre-dawn drive from Panglao, these are the options.

If sunrise is the goal, yes — the drive from Panglao is roughly two hours, which means leaving around 4am.
March to May, after a long enough dry run. They are green for most of the rest of the year.
Very few. This list is the complete rated set within 25 km rather than a selection from a larger pool.
