A nice little family run hotel lodge offering good value and a friendly service. Very much set up as a dive lodge perfect if you intend to use as a base for a few days of diving activities. Rooms/lodges are basic, but clean and fully functional with a/c and hot showers. Located directly on the beach, which isn’t currently ‘groomed/kept’ A small pool is used for dive tuition

Nice family run diving lodge.

friendly staff - Marivic and other staff addressed our needs since we arrived in the property! I will highly recommend the place

The resort was a short 10min beach walk from the Bellevue Resort. Car transport is available to and from resorts but it’s an easy walk without hauling gear. They offer introduction, adventure dives and PADI certification. Pool on site. They easily accommodated our group of 8 and had at least 2 big outrigger boats with a toilet. Clean, comfortable and spacious. The DM was highly knowledgable of all dive sites in the area and recommended dives based on “local intel”. Never felt crowded or rushed even though there were many other divers in the water in some sites. The reefs were alive and clean! The resort and boat crews respect their home beach and local dive sites. Feels good diving with a local company like Red Palm Resorts. They treated us like family over the 3 days. Top marks for service and went beyond expectations. Gold standard.

Dive Resort in Panglao Bohol

The check-in process was smooth and guests didn't report any problem

Having real problem leaving a review Keeps jumping outI took lovely photos to upload

Could not upload gorgeous photos I took

This is a cheap place to stay but a fair distance from town. Beach where it was near was full of litter and the room very basic however for somewhere cheap to stay then it would be okay but only okay

Cheap place

We stayed at the Red Palm the end of Jan and a couple days of Feb.  The hotel is very nice looking and the grounds are clean and well kept.  The pool looks inviting and the dining area is nice.  Just beyond the dining area is the beach, I would suggest you check it out before dashing out for a midnight swim as the beach and tree area was loaded with debris when we visited.  There was trash of all kinds, shoes, paper, rope, rubber, bottles both glass and plastic etc.  I also found broken glass and bits of broken wood -- things that could potentially ruin your day.  It looked nothing like the pictures on the reviews.  The rooms are simple, we could not get the wifi to work and was told it wasn't very reliable. The rooms were however clean and the beds were fine.  There is hot water and we enjoyed that feature.  We did have to ask for toilet paper and it was brought to us without issue.  That night we went to the pool as my grandson wanted to swim and we, after a long boat voyage and then van ride felt we needed the use of the hot tub/Jacuzzi.  We were told it didn't work.  So we assumed that was temporary and watched him play in the cold water while we sat at poolside.  The next day we did some adventuring and came back to find our toilet paper gone again...so back to the main house where the manager or owner lives to ask for more. They also did not replace our dirty towels but instead draped them over the railing in front of our room. I don't know if they thought we would let them dry and use them again or what but we are used to getting clean towels on a daily basis.   My son and his wife were in the room near ours and when my son went to lay down the bed collapsed!  For the night they slept on the mattress on the floor rather than have to pack and unpack again in another room.  The second night they repaired the bed themselves as it was still broken.  The management was very prompt when we ordered coffee in the mornings but you do have to request brewed coffee if you would rather have that than instant.  There are also two large pet dogs that are on the property, one is a doberman and the other is a sort of lab cross.  They are both sweet dogs but will beg for food at your table if you eat on the property.  We just ignored them as our dogs do the same at home but this is bothersome to some people so keep that in mind.  They did lock up the doberman at one point because he was barking so much but he was a very friendly dog that never gave us a moments pause.  We ordered dinner there at the hotel and it was very good.  It was sort of family style rather than each of us ordering a separate meal but it was good.  Our room had a refrigerator but we couldn't get it to come on so I don't know if it didn't work or if we were just not using it correctly.

The ups and downs

lovely staff. Even the dogs where super. Especially Leo.Room was comfortable.Ground of the resort where beautiful.Was not happy with the beach.Beach was dirty. Lots of rotting seaweed, plastic and garbage washed up onto the beach. With a huge resort being built a few doors down the beach I would think they would be wise to make the beach cleaner and more usable for the public
