The 95-room Sheridan Beach Resort and Spa is an upscale property on Sabang Beach. Contemporary rooms feature wooden details, and all have balconies or patios, many of which overlook the beach or pool. The hotel appeals to families and couples alike, with sports facilities, a beach bar, and a full-service spa. The sprawling pool is a hub of activity, featuring a swim-up bar, hot tubs, and a kiddy pool. The restaurant offers beachfront dining and uses ingredients sourced from the resort's organic farm. However, the area is remote and Wi-Fi is spotty. There aren't a ton of options in the area, but travelers may want to compare amenities at the more affordable Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort.

The laid-back Daluyon Beach and Mountain Resort exudes a traditional vibe with its 27 thatched-roof rooms and serene setting on Sabang Beach.

Features include two tropically landscaped pools and a kids' pool, plus a modest gym and a billiards room. Tasty Filipino fare is served in two restaurants and there are two bars. The hotel has a 24/7 generator, but the remote village doesn’t have electricity and lacks nightlife. For a more upscale experience, check rates at the Sheridan Beach Resort and Spa.

The 97-room Amorita Resort is a modern, upscale property with a peaceful clifftop location overlooking Alona Beach. Rooms have a chic, minimalist style, as well as showers, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. Some, but not all, units add separate bathtubs and furnished balconies. Extensive features consist of two outdoor infinity pools, free non-motorized water sports such as kayaks, free yoga, a spa offering a variety of treatments, and an on-site PADI dive center. Dining options include an all-day restaurant serving Filipino and international fare, and a tapas bar, both of which receive positive reviews. On the downside, there isn't much to do in the immediate area, and the hotel lacks an elevator (ground-floor rooms available). For something a little cheaper but still upscale, consider The Bellevue Resort Bohol.

The 400-room Henann Resort Alona Beach is a huge, upscale property with excellent dining and lovely grounds abutting the beautiful Alona Beach. Pools are particularly stunning here -- with swim-up bars, palm trees, and lots of loungers -- though the best is certainly the infinity-edge one, offering unobstructed beach views. Two of the hotel’s three restaurants are well-known among locals and visitors for their massive buffets and tasty a la carte options, and room service is available for a fee. A spa, well-equipped fitness center, and sundries shop are also on-site. Travelers can choose from a variety of contemporary rooms -- ranging from spacious standard units with balconies to villas with private pools and exclusive services -- all equipped with free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and cable TV. Families may prefer Mithi Resort and Spa, which has more kid-centric amenities.
