Loboc River Resort

I understand the draw and the reasons for the good reviews. The staff is truly wonderful and cannot do enough to service and support you. The room is nice enough but the bathroom can use a refresh. The restaurant offered plenty of fried food and was a 6 of 10. The service was either a hit or terrible miss. My son loved the homemade desserts. The soups and salads were good. Nice pools but needs some TLC. I’m not sure I would have chosen it based on personal preferences but as I said for others I understand the draw.

We had great communication with the resort prior to our arrival, however when we arrived at Panglao Beach the transfer we had organised did not appear. Thankfully we managed to share a ride otherwise we would have been held to ransom but the local taxi drivers who ask ridiculous amounts due to the distance of the resort.||Once we arrived at the resort however we were greeted by extremely friendly staff. They always greeted us by our first names which makes you feel so welcome. Beautiful setting along the river banks, have a lily pond with Monet bridge and their own monkey island. We stayed in a Premier River View room which was beautiful. Huge room with large veranda overlooking the river. The premier area offers a separate pool which was beautiful. However at almost double the nightly rate not sure if its value for money as the rest of the resort also looked lovely. Excellent location for sight seeing, the resort organised a motorbike for us which was amazing value and perfect for getting around. ||Cons||Unfortunately the restaurant really lets this resort down . The food is poor and the staff are rude. The breakfast is probably the worst we have ever experienced. The owner really needs to sort this out as there are no other options around to go to. It’s such a shame as otherwise the resort would easily have been a 4/5. ||The other slight annoyance was the noise from the other side of the river from the locals, however the hotel do say if its to much they will try and deal with it.

The staff was friendly, helpful, and kind! The room was clean, spacious and had a beautiful view of the river. The LRR offers many options of things to do! We especially enjoyed the firefly boat ride! It is easy to rent a motorbike here to ride around Bohol. The resort restaurant was also terrific! There is an varied menu and everything we ordered was delicious! I recommend this stay highly!

Was really underwhelmed after reading such high praise reviews. This resort has seen better days and while I understand the difficulty of weathering two typhoons and rebuilding, the photos pictured are not accurate. Dated and worn, the bikes had flat tires, food at the restaurant was just okay and too far from anywhere else to eat very easily. I would suggest booking elsewhere and dealing with longer drive to the sites.|Loved the SUP on river but not the romantic getaway I had hoped for.

Our overall stay at your resort was amazing, from the accommodations to the entire management. The staff was friendly and helpful, there was a wide selection of food, and in addition to the free activities offered during our stay, we were able to try other activities, and we both enjoyed them. We highly recommend it!

Beautiful location, food great and reasonably priced too. Please don’t put your prices any higher or you will the stays for people just right. Staff were fantastic and helpful. The Accomodation was tired and bathrooms need some attention however it’s to be expected in the river location I suppose. It’s not about luxury but the adventure of staying. The Kayak was a bit highly priced for what you got. Other than these points a wonderful experience and loved every minute Greshan and I will be back x thank you

A lovely resort offering a different environment ( on the river) than just being in the beach. Close to to all of the attractions of Bohul making day trips easy. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff who helped coordinate all of our activities, tours and transport. Food was excellent and varied and we enjoyed ending the afternoons by the pool. Do not miss the firefly tour that they offer.

we celebrated father's day and dined at the new years eve buffet and it was worth it. i love the ambiance. so relaxing and calm. staff were also accommodating.

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!
