A free airport shuttle is a genuine convenience on Panglao, where Bohol-Panglao International Airport sits inside the same coastal stretch as the resort cluster but public transport options are limited outside organized transfers or tricycles. Larger, established resorts are more likely to run their own shuttle service than small independent inns. Confirm shuttle timing and whether advance notice is required directly with the property before arrival.

▶ Check availability and prices now!Read our full review of Amarela Resort
Why choose this? Amarela Resort is the character property in this set: a small, design-led beachfront resort on the quiet Libaong — also called Lourdes — coast of Panglao, built in a Filipino-Spanish idiom and furnished with antiques and Filipino art.
Around 30 rooms sit low along a private beach, away from the crowds of Alona. The appeal is the opposite of scale.

Why choose this? Henann Tawala Resort is the group's mid-positioned Panglao property — a 210-room resort in Barangay Tawala, near Alona Beach and part of the wider Henann cluster on this coast.
It offers the brand's pools and facilities, often at a softer rate than the larger flagship next door.

Why choose this? South Palms Resort & Spa is the Accor MGallery property on Panglao, sitting directly on the Bolod sand a short way along the coast from Alona Beach.
Where Amorita trades on a clifftop view, South Palms trades on the opposite asset: one of the longest stretches of soft white sand on the island, right at the door.
▶ Check availability and prices now!Read our full review of Amorita Resort
Why choose this? Amorita Resort sits on the low limestone cliff at the western end of Alona Beach, in Barangay Tawala. That position is the whole point of the property.
Instead of competing for frontage on the busy sand below, it places its rooms and two infinity pools on the shelf above, so the view runs out over the Bohol Sea toward Balicasag rather than across other people's umbrellas.
▶ Check availability and prices now!Read our full review of Amun Ini Resort and Spa
Why choose this? Amun Ini Resort and Spa is the standout property in Anda, the far-eastern Bohol municipality whose white-sand beach rivals Panglao's without the crowds.
It is a small, intimate resort — around 16 rooms — built for seclusion, and it ranks first among Anda's hotels on the review sites. The appeal is the combination of a genuinely quiet beach and a boutique scale.
▶ Check availability and prices now!Read our full review of Modala Beach Resort
Why choose this? Modala Beach Resort is the contemporary-design option on Panglao's quieter Doljo coast — a 126-room resort with an infinity pool and a private white-sand beach, built in a clean modern style rather than the colonial or vernacular idiom of its design-led peers.
It is newer and more current-looking than most of the established resorts. The pitch is modern comfort on a calm beach.
▶ Check availability and prices now!Read our full review of Mithi Resort and Spa
Why choose this? Mithi Resort and Spa takes a different geography from the Panglao resorts: it sits on the Bingag coast of Dauis, the municipality between Tagbilaran and Panglao proper, on a large 14-hectare estate with a 500-metre stretch of white-sand beach.
With around 53 rooms across that much land, the defining quality is space. The low density is the point. Rather than pack a frontage, Mithi spreads a modest room count across a wide estate, giving room to move, a long beach, and a spa-and-wellness focus.
▶ Check availability and prices now!Read our full review of Henann Resort Alona Beach
Why choose this? Henann Resort Alona Beach is the largest property directly on Alona Beach — around 400 rooms backed by an extensive lagoon-pool complex, with the dining and dive strip immediately at the door.
Where the Bolod resorts trade proximity for calm, Henann does the opposite: it puts you in the centre of the action on Panglao's busiest beach. That scale defines the experience.

Larger, established resorts are more likely to offer a shuttle than small independent properties — confirm directly with the hotel rather than assuming it's included.
It varies by property; some include it in the room rate, others charge a nominal fee. Confirm terms before booking if this is a deciding factor.
Bohol-Panglao International Airport is on Panglao island itself, so most listed hotels are within a 10-30 minute drive.
Generally yes — most properties require advance notice of your flight details to schedule a pickup rather than offering an on-demand service.
