Our stay here was great. The property is very clean and the rooms were nice. Ours was overlooking the pool area. The bar was nice for a late night drink and breakfast was delicious! They even packed us a to-go meal when we had to fly out early. They coordinated transfers to and from the airport for us which was very convenient and appreciated. The property itself is set off from the main road a little ways so if you want to get to the town you could either call a trike or walk (10-ish minutes). Just be careful on the small road of vehicles. The proximity to coffee shops and town made it a great stay for us. Would stay again ☺️
Kaitlyn
Beautiful property. Attentive staff. Delicious complimentary breakfast. My family had a wonderful stay.
Alex
Would not return to the Scent of Green Papaya resort in Bohol after a poor experience led to us cutting our multi night stay short after just one night.
Firstly we found cockroaches in the bedroom, along with other insects in the bed including a silverfish which crawled out from under the pillow. At breakfast we also found a cockroach under the glass in the table we were sat at.
The bathroom was also dirty, with behind the sink very grimy and the bottom of the shower looking like it hadn't been scrubbed in a while. Also old shower parts had been left in the corner under the sink.
Our sleep for our only night was the worst night's sleep we had had in years, with chickens and dogs in the neighbouring property making constant noise and the thin windows doing little to stop the sound. The curtains are also paper thin and blocked no light from neighbouring buildings or the resort area below.
Finally, while the pool area looks like it has had a recent freshen up, the rooms are very dated and in major need of an upgrade. This included balcony doors which wouldn't lock.
While we complained to the hotel and were offered a room clean or alternative rooms, we could not stay there another night due to the very sub par accommodation and experience compared to what was offered. The hotel have since refused a refund through Expedia. I would not recommend staying here.

Ruined our mood for the day for making us pay for \"dirty\" towels (really!)
Tried to charge us 800 pesos for a shuttle to the airport (usually/typically free). We booked a ride from grab for 180 pesos. The ride to the airport literally took 10 minutes.

Not really walking distance to the beaches or shopping/restaurants, otherwise, a great place to stay. Staff were extremy friendly and helpful.
Leni Gavero
A quiet and relaxing spot. We stayed for 5 days and had a great experience at this resort. We liked the structure of the rooms because it feels more like home. The staff was absolutely great! Very hardworking, friendly, and always had a smile on their face. Food was also good! I'm glad we got free breakfast every morning. Although it's a 10- to 15-minute walk to Alona beach, their hourly shuttle until 5 PM is convenient and handy when you need a ride. The pool is well maintained. Although some parts of the room (specifically the bathroom) might need some updating, but all in all, our experience staying here was excellent and memorable. We will definitely recommend this resort.

Lovely stay here, room very comfortable and team have been super nice - would recommend as a base for your stay here, shuttle to town every hour and easy to walk/get a tuck tuk also

Super awesome stay. Staff was excellent. Food was decent! Felt like a quaint BnB. AC units work enough.. we did stay in the summer so it did well in the hottest Time of the year. Scooter rental they work with was really great!
Pauline
Fab find!
This is a great hotel! Secluded and quiet location. Great, friendly staff. Good food, happy hour drinks and a lovely relaxing pool area. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
The only thing I would suggest is having a board at reception so people booking trips can say which room/how many people and combine trips - especially good for solo travellers. I booked a countryside tour and bumped into two couples who would have loved to become a group, and for solo travellers it's nice to not do everything solo!

Great place to stay, staff are extremely helpful and friendly! Property is in good condition, food was great. Clean and refreshing pool, free shuttle to Alona beach and close to other activities and food. Property has a generator for the occasional brownouts and good WiFi that works even if property is on generator.

***BED BUGS ALERT***
We would love to post a wonderful review for this place because the location and the staff were pretty good. Breakfast was great as well as the scenery. We did occupy two rooms and in the first night our friend found a dead bed bug. Maintenance didn’t seem to take it too seriously and moved her to a different room. Meanwhile in our room unbeknownst to what was going on with our friend we slept through the night. I woke up with about 20 bed big bits in 4 different places. I spoke to the manager and again I don’t think they understand the significance or importance of bed bugs. Unfortunately due to this reason only we could never return.

Like almost everywhere in Bohol
the roads to the resorts are in bad condition. Can’t fault a single resort for that—perhaps a community effort can correct this.
As for this resort—would be nice if airport pickup/dropoff was complimentary.

Lovely staff, good location
Nice rooms, but the power sockets worked intermittently (I had to use a different one every day to charge my phone), which made it hard to work. Otherwise the place was great, good breakfast, lovely staff, nice pool, and a regular shuttle to the beach (itself only a 20mn walk).

Worst place
Worst place i have ever been to. We have arrived to green papaya which is an nice looking place but the place is full of rules like you are in jail . No drinking near the pool , no taking the key outside the place , no hanging cloths in balcony . Most order you breakfast choise day before. And an endless list of other rules. At the last nigth we wanted to shower and there wasn't hot water we talk to the staff and the answer was the emplloye already home so shower tommorow. Wish you a lot of good luck if you are staying there.
Jackie
This is a small hotel off the beaten track down a rough road in a more residential area. The grounds are very nice and well kept with a big pool. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The food was good and the staff were very accommodating. The only thing they need to change is what they do with the chemicals, or amount of chemicals, they use in the pool. Whatever was in the water really hurt your eyes if you opened them under water and was hard on the skin. The only other thing I would suggest is to have multi use plastic cups for around the pool. This is a very nice little resort.
Verified traveler
Breakfast was only so-so and the dining area very small. Hotel is not near the beach on a back road dirt/gravel alley. Chinese guests at the hotel are loud, noisy, obnoxious. No phone in room. Cleanup did not include new guest soap/shampoo etc. Not a very good place to stay.
Verified traveler
The staff was wonderful and assisted us in our needs. The meals were good. the atmosphere was relaxed and very chill.
If there was something on the negative side was we couldn't get WiFi in our room. Only outside of it. We told the staff but it wasn't fixed.

Larry
The rooms are clean and spacious. Restaurant food is good. Be aware that the front desk staff will try to charge you 4% extra to use a credit card to settle your account when checking out. This is totally illegal and has been a violation of Philippine law since 2009. Bills paid by cash or credit card are required to be the same under Phillipines law. I will report this violation to the Philippine government when I return to the USA and request that they require hotel management to cease this violation and fine them if they persist in violating Philippine law.
Walter
This is a nice hotel,,Not a 10 minute walk to or from the beach,But the multi cab can take you every 45 minute to the beach area or pick you up.
Nice staff.

We had a pleasant experience in this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The aircon in our room broke down, but they moved us to a new room.

Ridiculously charged 3,500 pesos for stains on the pillow from the henna tattoo! Unbelievable!

Lovely hotel away from the busy alona beach strip. Great staff, great pool, great rooms & shuttle bus to alona every 30 mins. No complaints at all. Would go back & def recommend.

Comfortable hotel & lovely staff, away from crowds
Staff were extremely welcoming and it's great to have access to the pool which many of the guests made full use of. Our room was basic but large, we were made aware that they had no / intermittent hot water which was not too much of a bother given the scorching outdoor temperatures.
Breakfast was ordered the day before and a great selection of items and fresh daily juices. Their happy hour is a fantastic deal and you can choose to have lunch / dinner on site or head out to the local area.
There is a local shuttle with 2 services every hour, however the town itself is only a 10-15 minute walk away. There are a number of recommended places for food nearby.

Solo trip on Alona
It was unfortunate that there was construction on the water heater, so I had to take cold showers. It also would've been nice to have shampoo, body wash, and rinse bottles, instead of those little individual packets. Wifi stronger in certain parts, so just experiment in the rooms.The pool is wonderful and a great size. The bar serves up delicious food and the staff treat you like familiar friends. The resort has a friendly shuttle service to the beach which is about a 15 minute walk away.

Picked this hotel for location away from all the noise in Alona beach. As reviewed by others, perfect location for serenity, friendly and willing staff to accommodate your needs at all times .we’ll come back again.
Note to resort owners: they need to put together funds to cement the short dirt road leading to their property.

Very nice hotel quiet area
Very nice hotel in a quiet place...A bit away from main beach areas but for me that's a big plus.. AND they offer a free shuttle to the beach.. So it's a win win situation.. Quiet and you're at the beach in 5 minutes..
Staff is very friendly and accommodating and very courteous.

Quiet resort
Big and clean room with air condition and fan. Provides toiletries and hair dryer. Breakfast is included. Good variety of order to cook breakfast. They provide free shuttle to the main city. The resort is located in very isolated area and only one vehicle can drive through. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The reception desk is a just a table in the restaurant. Very affordable.

A really wonderful Gem close to the happenings but still in a very quiet area. Nice and comfy rooms and good vibes also amazing staff! We really loved the girls at the front desk and in the restaurant, they are amazing. Cheers from Hungary, ladies!

Simply the best!
Great hotel with even better staff. Nice deep pool, good restaurant. The place is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Lovely dog Bim-Bim will make your stay even more pleasant. The only downside is the access road but there is a free shuttle bus to the beach.
Dicomes
Nice place and quiet location
Stayed with them for 3 nights in August.
Room is spacious and beds are comfy.
Hotel is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Alona Beach which is a good thing. However it's only a ten minute walk to the beach do you kinda get best of both worlds. Breakfast is decent.
On the things they could improve is to provide water in the rooms... There is a water dispenser at the reception but small bottles in the rooms world be a lot more convenient.

Brilliant place to stay
This was a return visit for me having stayed here 12 months ago. The resort has expanded quite considerably from its original size but the owners have done this sympathetically and in such a way that it has improved the ambience.
Rooms are spacious and very clean, the bed is extremely comfortable. There is satellite to with a huge array of channels. The aircon is very effective and not too noisy. There is a nice balcony area to sit outside and enjoy the gardens. As part of the expansion, a second swimming pool has been added and these are very well maintained and kept very clean.
There are a choice of breakfasts included in the price and these are of a good quality and cooked freshly for each guest. It is also possible to have lunch and/or dinner at the resort and the chef will adjust the menu to suit dietary requirements.
The staff are absolutely amazing and they really add something to your stay with their friendly and welcoming manner. They will go out of their way to assist you, customer service is second to none.
The resort is some way from Alona beach but I would argue that with the increasing amount of development nearer to the beach, the location of the resort is perfect - it is close enough to be an easy walk to the bars and the restaurants but far enough away to be a peaceful setting. The resort does run a free shuttle service to and from the beach that runs every 30 minutes for guests.
Overall a brilliant place to stay if you are visiting Bohol.

Happy guests :)
Everything about our stay at here was nice, except the weather but we can hardly blame Green Papaya for that :P
These were the best rooms we stayed in during our 1 month travel throug the Philippines. Two guards were controlling the resort during night time.
Our only concern is the location. It is not located excatly where is shows on the map, and the walk to the beach is rather long due to private properties along the coast line, so you have to walk around. Luckily Green Papaya have their own shuttle bus going back and forth to the beach twice every hour.

Very private in pleasant own grounds
An oasis of pleasant rooms, pool, restaurant and bar surrounded by a wall with one gate to the car parking area that leads to the uninteresting surroundings. About 15 minutes walk to the main beach. Nice place but I suggest putting a small shelf in the shower as no where to put shampoo, soap etc.
Daniel
Good place to stay, away from the centre
Good, but not great, reasonable value for money, staff are generally friendly. Rooms are nice and big.

Greetings from Philadelphia
My wife and I had an amazing visit at Green Papaya. The service, food, and cleanliness were great. The people made us feel safe and welcome. Any questions we had were answered. Their shuttle van a big help to get around. Highly recommended.

Lovely Place to Stay Close to the Beach
I stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience! The grounds are really beautiful and serene... comfortable lounges to lie in the sun and refreshing pools to take a dip in. The room was clean and spacious as well as the bathroom. The staff was exceptional- incredibly friendly and happy to help with whatever you need. The breakfast and the food at the restaurant was delicious- especially the homemade ravioli! And if you are going on an early tour, they will even pack up your breakfast for you to go if you let them know the night before. Alona Beach is walking distance but since the property is a little bit hidden and down a dark path at night, they offer a free shuttle which runs every half hour. Or you can get a really cheap taxi if you don't want to wait for the shuttle or walk. I was so happy I booked here instead of one of the larger more expensive resorts because it was such a nice experience staying here and totally a great deal!

Great resort!
Pros:
Nice resort located in a quiet area. Clean room. Nice pool. Staff is very friendly and service-minded. Free shuttle bus to Alona Beach and back every half hour.
Cons:
Laundy service was slow and the clothes had a bad smell of smoke when we got it back like it had been drying in the sun while someone had lit up a campfire nearby.
Bad smell from the drain in the shower. Staff removed the smell the first day but it returned on the last day again.

A slice of heaven nestled just beyond the fringe
I almost don't want to tell anyone about this property in case it become too popular! Just off the beaten track but vlise to everywhere. Amazing staff that attend to your every need with a smile. Whether looking to lounge on Alona or go exploring this property is awesome. Shuttle service to Ali a is great. Food is great. Did I mention the awesome people? Will definitely only stay here in Alona going forward. Great for couples and families.

Good value for money
My wife and I stayed for 7 days.
The room and hotel were kept clean, but some of the craftsmenship in the room and along the hotel grounds gave the impression of uncleanliness. The service we received from all the staff was good. They were all very friendly and courteous. However, we did request an airport pickup when we arrived but it never came. We eventually used a cab and got to the hotel for slightly cheaper than what the pickup would have costed. The staff explained that the car was out of service and that they had emailed to notify me, however that email was in response to my email asking where our pickup was. It would have been better to have been notified before I had to ask and find out our ride wasn't coming.
The hotel is about a 15-20min walk away from Alona beach so they offer a free shuttle service to and from a drop off spot at the beach. My wife and I normally would walk that distance, but if you aren't used to the heat that distance can feel very far so the shuttle was nice.

Nice staff and good room.
非常让人惊喜的一家酒店，漂亮的泳池，干净的房间，总之一个字完美。唯一的缺点是离沙滩很远，第一次去也很难找到地方。不过有免费bus到沙滩。

I love this resort
Very good.

Great place to stay
I stayed one week here. Staff are magnificent, really welcoming, friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The resort is about a 15 - 20 minute walk from the main beach but there is a free tricycle shuttle available to take you anywhere local. It also means that it is far more peaceful which is great for a relaxing stay and there is a really well maintained swimming pool which is great if you don't want to head to a beach. At the time I stayed, the resort had 8 rooms however there is a huge building project underway to build a further 16 rooms, on one or two occasions it did make it noisy but overall it was not too bad.

Excelent choice
Very small, quiet hotel with only 8 rooms, 15 minutes walk from Alona beach. Big enough pool, modern rooms, excelent selection of TV channels. Great service and tasty breakfast cooked to order. Strongly recommended.

Peace and quiet in this lovely little hotel
I wanted a peaceful and relaxing break after the chaos of Manila. I did a lot of research on hotels in Bohol and this ticked every box for me. I was extremely satisfied and it even surpassed my expectations.
This is French owned, small, cosy hotel with about 8 rooms on a back lane 15 mins walk from the action in Alona beach. It's a totally safe area but take a flashlight with you at night as its not well lit.
Rooms are great, nice size, spotlessly clean. The doors are double glazed french windows with a fly screen so don't worry about mosquitos coming into your room or about noise from the pool area or from TV's from other rooms. Its a very quiet room and I slept well. TV is a new flat screen good range of cable channels incase you get bored or need to get out of the sun in the afternoons.
The pool is well maintained and open all day and night. Please be very, very careful coming out the pool and walking on wet tiles in near the entrance to your room. USE flip-flops provided. My wife slipped over and could have seriously injured herself but she was ok thank god.
Wifi is sporadic but thats a local issue and not the hotels' fault.
Breakfast is included, pretty simple choice but very tasty and with nice coffee and fresh (not pasteurised ) mango juice.
Staff are very attentive and helpful. Melissa was particularly kind and does a great job looking after the guests.
Highly recommended!

We miss the hotel more than the beach
Check in was quick. Upon arrival we were in our room in 10 mins though we arrived 3 hrs before check in time. Rooms are very clean and beds are comfortable. Pool and grounds are well maintained. Great choices with the included breakfast ( french is my fave )The reason I only rated it 4 star is that some people might find the location too remote, which we didn't mind cause it's so quiet at night, away from all the noise at the beach front. They have a shuttle trike which is really helpful on the hottest times of the day. Should one decide to walk, beach is about a 20 min stroll from hotel. Be sure to take the provided flashlight at night since portions of the access alley is unlit though safe .Hotel staff are super helpful ( namely Shiela & Melissa the receptionists, Felipe & Noe the trike drivers ) and the main reason I'll definitely stay at this facility the next time we go back to Panglao. Thanks to the hotel and the staff for making our stay an unforgettable one.

Quiet retreat
Stayed 2 nights. Comfortable room. Quiet location but down a dark side street. Good pool. Cable TV. Excellent pancakes for breakfast. Staff were very helpful. Recommended.

Great new place in panglao
The hotel is new and thus well maintained. The stuff is very nice and will take care of everything you need. The hotel is 10-15 min walk from alona beach but they provide free transportation to alona beach. Really good value for money.

Excellent new resort with a fantastic pool & wifi
A little far from the beach but they offer a complimentary scooter you can use whenever it is available - this is a huge help for those quick atm trips. There is excellent Thai delivery as well!

Clean nice and big
we booked for one night and couldn't make it that night. We called the hotel. They let us stay there the next day without any extra charge. We stayed there the first day we got to panglao.the room is super nice big, and clean. The breakfast was ok but staffs are always really nice and helpful. It is a little bit walk to the beach, like 10-15 mins, which is acceptable. We wanted to stay there for longer but all rooms were booked. Overall, this hotel is highly recommended.

가족들 모두 극찬한 리조트
남편과 아이들이 이번 보홀 여행중 가장 맘에 든 숙소였다고 극찬했어요
한국인 거의 없고 현지의 느낌을 가득 담은 최고의 숙소 였습니다
낮엔 닭소리가 끊이질 않지만 ㅎ 그또한 현지생활을 느낄 수 있어 괜찮았어요
마지막날 사우스팜리조트 데이유즈를 이용했는데 아이들은 그린파파야 수영장과 분위기가 더 좋았다고 합니다
남편도 한 번더 보홀을 오게된다면 그린파파야리조트에서만 묵고 싶다네요
다시 한 번 보홀을 찾게 될 이유를 만들어준 최고의 리조트~!
조식도 맛있었네요 :)

Tranquil little paradise
Awesome stay at this friendly little resort. Attentive and very kind staff, highly professional.
The whole ambience at the place was so nice, and it could be felt between guests aswell, everyone talking to each other and making new friends. I think that this was because the staff where so friendly; in between d them self and with customers.
The area is really nice with the best restaurants and best bar in town just a few steps away.
Only downside is the distance to the beach; big resorts have closed of the nearest street. However shuttle works very good for this and makes it comfortable (even if we walked the nice walk most the time)

가족여행으로 좋습니다
가족여행으로 방문했습니다.
중앙에 수영장이 큼지막하게 너무나 예뻤습니다.
리조트로 들어오는 입구가 좁지만, 주차장도 있어서 편하게 이용했습니다.
