The Bohol Sea Resort is a secluded two-and-a-half-pearl hotel set on Danao Beach, a short drive, or longer stroll, from Panglao Island's main resort of Alona. The 25 rooms and bungalows are spread through leafy beachfront gardens, and cater to a range of budgets from simple rooms to large sea-view apartments. Many guests come for the diving, which can be arranged at the on-site dive shop, and there's an outdoor pool, plus space for relaxing on the beach -- though the shallow, coral-filled waters are not really suited to swimming. The restaurant serves fresh food all day and the bar has a popular happy hour. Travelers wanting to be closer to the action could take a look at Isis Bungalows which is on Alona Beach.

Located on a pristine stretch of Doljo Beach, the four-pearl Bellevue Resort Bohol sits on a beachfront in Bohol. Its 152 spacious, contemporary rooms are equipped with modern amenities like air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and minibars. Rooms have uniform, earth-toned decor, but some offer more space making them ideal for families -- the hotels main clientele -- or groups of friends. Although it's generally a quiet spot, thanks to its somewhat isolated location, the resort can get noisy when it hosts meetings and events. As an alternative, travelers can head to the luxurious Amorita Resort. Its location on Alona Beach can draw noise, too, but guests are within walking distance of many bars and restaurants.

The main highlight at this relaxed upper-middle-range hotel is its beach, a gorgeous stretch of white-sanded shore -- complete with hammocks strung between palm trees -- that it shares with its neighbor, the South Palms Resort. There's also an outdoor pool on the lovely grounds, but the pristine beach is the showstopper here. The 88 clean, air-conditioned room have furnished porches or verandas. Units are also equipped with a decent set of amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and electric kettles, though the free Wi-Fi is spotty. An on-site restaurant serves three meals a day (including free breakfasts), and there's a game room for kids as well as meeting and event space. Travelers might want to compare with the neighboring South Palms Resort, which has a nicer pool -- though room furnishings are a bit worn here.
