Loboc River Resort

If I could give 10 stars I totally would ⭐️. From our arrival all the staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We did a wonderful SUP tour early morning and it was wonderful with beautiful scenery and an amazing guide, Edwin. They have two beautiful big pools, which was really nice to use after a day out and about. The buffet breakfast was outstanding and some of the best food we have eaten in the Philippines. We had very good massages which we booked through reception. We will definitely stay again next time we are visiting. Thank you to all the staff for making our visit so nice.

We had an amazing 3-night stay at Loboc River Resort during our time in Bohol. We were so excited to spend time here, and it did not disappoint. The location is naturally very secluded, so be prepared for that, but having a few days just at the resort was lovely. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and were more than happy to help us sort out laundry, activities, and transfers. Of the activities, we did the firefly boat tour, paddleboarding and massages, all of which I would recommend. We also spent a lot of time spotting birds, monkeys, and butterflies along the walking trail which is a great addition. The rooms were wonderful. Clean, comfortable and with plenty of space, we were also fortunate to have a balcony on the riverfront which was beautiful. The only thing that could be improved is the restaurant food (which I have reviewed separately), which we found to be very hit and miss. Given how secluded the resort is and the lack of other options around, this could potentially be an issue. But the breakfast buffet, which is included with the room, is very good with plenty of variety to suit all tastes. Overall, I would hugely recommend the resort to anyway wanting a few days of paradise in Bohol!

Delightful place to stay along the river in Bohol jungle. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Pool so refreshing. Lots of areas on site to explore. We saw more birds here than the nearby protected area. Breakfast was included and the buffet had lots of good options.

What a lovely resort to discover Bohol with! The staff, from the front desk, to the restaurant staff, drivers and cleaners were all pleasant, professional and treated us very well during our stay. The restaurant also offered a variety of dishes and had a very lovely breakfast set. We highly recommend this hotel for those looking at being close to the historic town of Loboc, the Tarsier Conservation Centre and the Chocolate Hills. The hotel showcased the warm and hospitable nature of Boholanos. Daghang Salamat po!

This resort was nice! The service was really helpful. Even after we had a bad experience with their laundry service they handled it nicely and did not charge us. How it should be. Would definitely recommend this resort, they made sure we had transfers from and to the pier. They called so that the next morning our scooter was ready to go and they have an amazing firefly boottrip. The pool is big and pleasant, rooms were also nice and clean and the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch en diner (not too special).

We stayed in the Native River Room, for one night only and overall it was great. The front staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was fairly clean minus the moldy shower, tons of ants, and could use some maintenance. Breakfast was alright however the staff were hard to get help from and all I wanted was a coffee. The pool was clean and relaxing. Our only disappointment was the firefly cruise, the staff were very pleasant but the experience was just not worth it for us. The only way I can see it being worth it is if you’ve never seen a firefly before. The trip was about an hour and we rode up to two trees where fireflies were present but crowded around with three other tourist boats. For a stay on Loboc River we would recommend this resort overall.

We had an amazing two night stay. The room with bathtub was spacious and clean. We really enjoyed our cayaking tour by Marjun who learned us a lot. The hotwater temperature should be a little higher to enjoy the bathtub more

This is a true gem. The facility is beautiful and located right next to the river within the jungle-like nature. The staff is incredible - perfect service, everybody is lways friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet is fresh and delicious. The restaurant prices are fair and they have a lot of (very yummy) vegetarian options. We enjoyed staying here so much. Thank you for the best time in Loboc.

Highly recommended! It was a great spot to make plans to travel to Bohol, Philippines catch the direct flight from LAX to Incheon International Airport to Bohol-Panglao and catch a driver to a 15 miles to destination.

Loboc River Resort is THE place to stay in Bohol! My boyfriend and I stayed at Loboc River Resort for four days and loved the space, amenities and friendly staff! In fact, once we booked our stay, Loboc River Resort was the only lodging facility that actually e-mailed me back, asking for details on an airport transfer. And as soon as we got to the resort, we were welcomed with a cold towel and an iced ginger tea, which was refreshing, having traveled by a two-hour ferry and 45 minute tricycle ride. The first night we stayed in a Forest View Room. I loved the bungalow we were in, as you literally walk along bridges to get to your bungalow with a front porch that looks out. There was a king size bed (uncommon in the Philippines for lodging), air conditioning, dental kit, soaps, shampoo/conditioner, slippers, cable TV, etc... The staff also carried our bags to the bungalow. It was a spacious room, and if you're looking for a more affordable room at the resort, then the Forest View Room is a great option. For the rest of our visit, we stayed in a River Suite, which was so amazing! It felt like an apartment with a very spacious living room, balcony that overlooks the Loboc River, kitchen with a fridge and complimentary bottled waters and beverages for purchase, and our room had a king size bed, cable TV and robes! Our bathroom was also a good size with a large shower, complimentary toiletries and slippers. There are complimentary activities around the resort such as the pool, visiting Monkey Island to watch the monkeys during feeding time, see the water buffalo, feed the chickens, walk across the suspension bridge, etc... The resort also can arrange a Bohol tour for you, with a driver that takes you around the island, seeing the major attractions, like the chocolate hills, tarsier sanctuary, etc..., which is what we did. Since the resort is not walking distance to town and is in a secluded area (hence its appeal!), they have a restaurant that is open most of the day. At the resort you also get a complimentary breakfast, with your choice of a Filipino or western breakfast. We came here for lunch and dinner, too, and they had great Filipino options, which is what I recommend getting here! We loved the lomi, especially on rainy days, pork adobo was tasty, tinola soup is a must while in Bohol, etc... I also recommend getting a pina colada here, as it's made with fresh coconut and lots of rum! The mango shakes are also made with fresh mango. Take advantage of all the fresh and local ingredients here! Staff was super friendly and after spending a few days here, you end up getting to know them. They also remember your name as soon as you enter the resort. When they found out we were taking the ferry back to get to Cebu for a flight out of the airport, they constantly checked with the ferry office to make sure they were running on time, so we didn't miss our flight. Sad to have left Loboc River Resort, but would definitely stay here again when I'm back in Bohol. This was by far the best place I stayed at while in the Philippines. Thank you, Loboc River Resort!

The big two Loboc river hotels are, of course, this one and Fox and Fire Flies. I toured around the F and F and it's a bit smaller than Loboc River Resort. I personally enjoyed staying here because one can be right next to the nice and quiet river. The food is amazing, the staff are nice, the internet needs a little help, but one can get it at the lobby or restaurant. Moreover, one can really appreciate nature here. They provide popular activities such as rides to the fireflies, long board paddle, and kayaking. One can even jump in the river right off their dock. Last, they're close to a bridge that is similar to the twin bridges, which charges $1 for entrance. With their bridge, it's completely free!!! Last, the Philippines is know for having the best mangoes in the world. Try their mango shake!

Who needs the beach when the river is so beautiful? This resort is a little out of the way, but that's part of its charm. This is the kind of place that travellers whisper about in hostels, not wanting to spill the secret to the unworthy who have suitcases rather than packs. I'm not so precious - and the lovely people who manage the resort deserve to be run off their feet with guests even in the low season. The bungalows are in the traditional style and are a little on the sparse side, but totally acceptable for the cost. There are suited should you want to splurge and you should totally upgrade to a river view room - you can thank me when you're sitting on your private balcony with one of the best views on Bohol. The pool is probably the best bit. It's huge and sparkling clean. Th infinity edge looking out to the river is a nice touch - the optical illusion of the blue of the pool melting in to the green of the river is a visual treat. There's a lovely open air restaurant /common room but the food isn't great, which is a shame. What is AMAZING however is the fresh coconut shakes served in a young coconut that has been recently lopped off the tree. I enjoyed these in large numbers and highly recommend that you do too.

Our first two days were spent at a 3-star hotel in Alona Beach. After one day, we decided to leave the chaos and crowds of underwhelming Alona for the quiet of Loboc. Spent next four days in a Forest View room at LRR. So glad we did. Big room. Great restaurant with yummy food. Staff were helpful and they have a tricycle that can take you into Loboc or pick you up for P50 one way. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and a relaxing vacay, this is the place!
