▶ Check availability and prices now!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!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.

Policies vary significantly by property and are not standardized across the island — always confirm directly with the resort rather than assuming.
Many do, along with weight or breed restrictions in some cases. Confirm the specific policy directly with the property before booking.
Requirements vary by origin and mode of transport; check current airline and inter-island ferry pet policies well ahead of travel, separate from the hotel's own policy.
It depends entirely on the individual property's policy rather than its size — confirm directly in both cases.
