Villa Juana

Appalling place, continuous hammering all day from boat builders. Chainsaws used. A dirty filthy beach which is no good for swimming or relaxing on. You must walk out about 100 mtrs. on slippery rocks before reaching the water. The beach is littered with plastic bottles, debri and covered in sea****. Dogs barking through the night. Dog poop all over the place. An absolute filthy, dirty and noisy place, stay well clear. Yiu have been warned.

It’s good hotel you’ll feel home.

Very nice house, quiet and well furnished. The beach is one step away.

Villa Juana, Danao, Panglao Island Pros – Wonderful large rooms with all needed amenities, felt at home with friendly and helpful staff (including owner Juana), walk out back gate to bangkas for diving, snorkling & island hopping, best prices we could find for quality of rooms, easy 5 minute scooter ride to Alona Beach and main town. Cons – Waterfront with nice view, but not really beachfront as shore is rocky / muddy and only serves as access for boat trips. Need scooter except for a handful of small stores, restaurants & bars within 5-10 minute walking distance. Location – In Danao just west of Alona. 30-40 minute tricycle to Tagbilaran City & Port, 15-20 minute tricycle to airport terminal, 15 minute scooter to Panglao Public Market area, 5 minute scooter (or 20-30 minute walk) to Alona Beach & Town. Rooms – Large clean units with a/c, cable tv (many international channels), fast internet with several routers around grounds, 5 gallon drinking water & dispenser, portable closet, fridge, rice cooker, toaster, hot water pot, sink, dishes / pots / pans / silverware, small dining table. Each unit has outside gas stove for cooking. Relatively large bathrooms with hot water shower. Facility - 4 buildings not including owner / staff residences. 1 = 2 story house (perfect for groups) with common living room & full kitchen area, and 3 large bedrooms (each bedroom has own bathroom & small kitchen / stove on patio); 1 = 4 unit building, 1 = 2-3 unit building with a 2 bedroom shared living room / kitchen unit and 1 separate unit; 1 = nipa hut unit. Common yard area with 2 hammocks near back gate to waterfront. Quiet at night except for occasional dogs barking along waterfront and occasional distant music / karaoke. Services – Scooter rental, staff can help arrange tricycle, boat trips, trips to other Bohol tourist destinations, and similar services. We initially reserved for 3 days to look around for best place to stay, but could not find anything nearly this nice in this price range so we ended up staying here for over 4 months. We hope to return here on our next visit to the Philippines. Locally owned.
