Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- RandB1805Cairns, Australia174 contributionsGreat place to go see. A little sand bar with a wooden sign. Go see get a photo. Nothing else to do here. A must do to say you have been for sure. We had 1 hour to spend here but only spent about 15mins.Written 22 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul H29 contributionsIt’s such a shame to see a beautiful beach and town turned into a dump.
So surprised when we got here. Reviews and pictures certainly looked decent enough. However this place is awful. About time we checked out and went somewhere (anywhere) better than this.Written 18 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They were decorating for a wedding but we still were allowed in to see. Very ornate for the location.Written 16 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Milet MirandaManila, Philippines120 contributionsThis beach is gorgeous! However, it isn’t ideal for swimming due to the shallow water. This is away from the crowd and noise of Alona Beach so you will experience a quiet and relaxing stay.Written 12 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maps118665749501 contributionThe view is great and the ambience is kinda chill. Adding of music background all over the place (mall) will make it much more vibrant and interesting for the tourist.Written 19 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- loveholsDublin, Ireland191 contributionsWe had visited other churches on the main Bohol island, but this one is situated on the smaller Panglao island. Well worth a visit if you've a half-day to spare. It's not far from the resorts on Alona beach. Beautiful murals on the ceiling. Don't forget to look up while inside. Architecturally interesting if you, like me, like churches.
The grounds and town are very tranquil and not far from the water, where catamarans gather to take people out on trips. There's a watch tower on the grounds too, although we couldn't enter it. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with the Parish Priest who was delighted to hear we were Irish.
