Bohol's budget tier splits mainly between Tagbilaran City's functional city hotels and Panglao's smaller pension houses a short walk from Alona Beach. Neither offers resort amenities, but both put you within reach of the province's main draws — the beach strip, the ferry terminal, and the countryside circuit. Ranked by verified OTA rating rather than price alone, since the cheapest listed rate isn't always the best-reviewed room.
