Perfect location with a friendly small resort feel! Amazing staff always happy to assist and very knowledgeable. Be careful with the hotel address as there are a few hotels with Papaya in their name!

Nice room, quiet property, friendly staff. About a fifteen minute walk to alona beach, less than ten to the main street where you'll find a lot of stuff to do too.

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Superb service. The place itself is great, the nearby property ruined our last night with the Karaoke playing loud.

Lovely

Super awesome stay. Staff was excellent. Food was decent! Felt like a quaint BnB. AC units work enough.. we did stay in the summer so it did well in the hottest Time of the year. Scooter rental they work with was really great!

Fab find!

This is a great hotel! Secluded and quiet location. Great, friendly staff. Good food, happy hour drinks and a lovely relaxing pool area. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The only thing I would suggest is having a board at reception so people booking trips can say which room/how many people and combine trips - especially good for solo travellers. I booked a countryside tour and bumped into two couples who would have loved to become a group, and for solo travellers it's nice to not do everything solo!

I really like the place, just the location is kind of pretty dark to walk to town at night as a woman

Great place to stay, staff are extremely helpful and friendly! Property is in good condition, food was great. Clean and refreshing pool, free shuttle to Alona beach and close to other activities and food. Property has a generator for the occasional brownouts and good WiFi that works even if property is on generator.

***BED BUGS ALERT*** We would love to post a wonderful review for this place because the location and the staff were pretty good. Breakfast was great as well as the scenery. We did occupy two rooms and in the first night our friend found a dead bed bug. Maintenance didn’t seem to take it too seriously and moved her to a different room. Meanwhile in our room unbeknownst to what was going on with our friend we slept through the night. I woke up with about 20 bed big bits in 4 different places. I spoke to the manager and again I don’t think they understand the significance or importance of bed bugs. Unfortunately due to this reason only we could never return.

Like almost everywhere in Bohol the roads to the resorts are in bad condition. Can’t fault a single resort for that—perhaps a community effort can correct this. As for this resort—would be nice if airport pickup/dropoff was complimentary.

Lovely staff, good location

Nice rooms, but the power sockets worked intermittently (I had to use a different one every day to charge my phone), which made it hard to work. Otherwise the place was great, good breakfast, lovely staff, nice pool, and a regular shuttle to the beach (itself only a 20mn walk).

Worst place i have ever been to. We have arrived to green papaya which is an nice looking place but the place is full of rules like you are in jail . No drinking near the pool , no taking the key outside the place , no hanging cloths in balcony . Most order you breakfast choise day before. And an endless list of other rules. At the last nigth we wanted to shower and there wasn't hot water we talk to the staff and the answer was the emplloye already home so shower tommorow. Wish you a lot of good luck if you are staying there.

This is a small hotel off the beaten track down a rough road in a more residential area. The grounds are very nice and well kept with a big pool. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The food was good and the staff were very accommodating. The only thing they need to change is what they do with the chemicals, or amount of chemicals, they use in the pool. Whatever was in the water really hurt your eyes if you opened them under water and was hard on the skin. The only other thing I would suggest is to have multi use plastic cups for around the pool. This is a very nice little resort.

Breakfast was only so-so and the dining area very small. Hotel is not near the beach on a back road dirt/gravel alley. Chinese guests at the hotel are loud, noisy, obnoxious. No phone in room. Cleanup did not include new guest soap/shampoo etc. Not a very good place to stay.

The staff was wonderful and assisted us in our needs. The meals were good. the atmosphere was relaxed and very chill. If there was something on the negative side was we couldn't get WiFi in our room. Only outside of it. We told the staff but it wasn't fixed.

The rooms are clean and spacious. Restaurant food is good. Be aware that the front desk staff will try to charge you 4% extra to use a credit card to settle your account when checking out. This is totally illegal and has been a violation of Philippine law since 2009. Bills paid by cash or credit card are required to be the same under Phillipines law. I will report this violation to the Philippine government when I return to the USA and request that they require hotel management to cease this violation and fine them if they persist in violating Philippine law.
