Golden Palm Resort is indeed more of a private rest house than a hotel. The whole place is well maintained, and I love that their gardener is doing a great job with the landscaping. The pool is a nice touch, though I must say that it probably needed some cleaning during our stay as it was quite slippery. They have... More

We booked this place only a few hours before we arrived, we booked it purely on the ratings it received on trip advisor and i can confirm the reviews are very accurate. The owners (British & Filipina) are great people, very friendly and have the resort running like a well oiled machine. The place was originally intended as a private... More

As of this writing, it is fairly hard to find a very decent place near the beach that's not overly expensive. Most of the places in the beachfront do not have the comfort and amenities of Golden Palm. Among the small number of "middle of the pack" hotels in Panglao, this is probably 1 of the best. I love modern/minimalistic... More

The hotel was very cozy very personal and just right with the budget for people looking for that middle of the road cost. Staff is very accomodating and very nice. Food very good. Would recommend the place. Just remember this is not a beach front hotel. It's walk just to get to the beach. If that's no problem. The hotel... More

We spent one week here, and like last time everything was perfect. Nice, clean room, lovely garden, beautiful pool and the most helpful hostess and her staff. They also have a small restaurant and if you want anything not at the menu, they try their best to satisfy your needs. Just a few steps down to the beach and a... More

We have been in Golden Palm last December 2011 for 3days vacation. I chose this resort because in tripadvisor it is on the 2nd rank. Well all I can say is I was really impressed!!! Upon arriving at the resort, I'm so surprised because Ms. Tata, the owner upgraded our room from standard room to presidential room (same amount). Whatever... More

This was one of the best places that our family ever stayed in. Doesn't mean that this was the most luxurious hotel but it was warm, home-like, calm place. The hotel is located just a few steps away from the Alona beach but very discrete. We could be far from all those boat trip & souvenir vendors of the beach... More

Sometimes we felt as part of the family. Allways a friendly word. Very nice room with a functioning aircondition and a good bathroom. Comfy beds. A very nice bar/restaurant with surprisingly tasty food, their curry met up to high expectations and their chilihot prawns were a success. The owners friendlyness had spread to the staf who allways treated us extremely... More
