Oceanica Resort Panglao - formerly South Palms Resort Panglao

Oceanica resort is truly a tropical paradise. The staff is amazing - everyone was very nice and assisted us with any questions, helped us organize transfers, tours, etc. Our beachfront room was very comfortable. It was cleaned well every day. Breakfast and the restaurant menu were good too. And of course the beach is wonderful. If you want to have a peaceful and relaxing time at the beach or at the pool and pool bar, it's better to use a more tranquil East wing of the resort (poolside rooms and the larger premium beachfront rooms are located there), as the day walk-in guests are not allowed in that part of the resort. Also the best snorkeling spots are closest to the East wing.

love that you have access to 2 pools, and the whole property is nice and quiet. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. There are ramps for PWDs and the property is very PWD-friendly. We love that there's free access to south farm and you can also rent a paddle/kayak board for free. There's also a recreation center which my friend and I enjoyed playing at. Gym is available 24 hours - sad I wasn't able to use it though! Love that happy hour starts at 7am! lol

It is nice that in house guests have private areas to relax separated from day-guests. The security was great in protecting these areas. The location was excellent for a quiet and laid back holiday. The beach was not crowded compared to Alona. The free toiletries and beverage items are also of high quality. We liked the coffee bags and Twinnings teabags. The nightly live music was very good as well as their song selections. The breakfast buffet has vegetable dish options and fruits that we enjoyed so much. The omelette station staff were great.

We liked the rooms, the facilities, the beach access, the massages and especially the staff. Also,the fact that the water sports facilities (paddle boards, kayaks)could be used for free was a great plus.

The beach is amazing, the best in bohol. Very well maintained and looked after. The food was great and the facilities are top notch. The only thing i would point out are some of the staff, i know they are very busy but it wouldn’t hurt to be kinder and greet people with a smile. I had a very long travel and looked rugged after a tuktuk ride and when i entered the building one of the staff rudely asked me what i was there for. It wouldn’t hurt to be much nicer to paying customers. But some of the staff are amazing! I would like to thank the nurse who attended me when I was feeling ill in oceanica.That’s all thank you
