    Location, scooter is needed. But the road to the resort is a bit rocky. But this is island living.

    Really nice. Very European vibe. The staff are friendly, the room is big and comfortable.

    There were many rules but after having traveling a while in the Philipines, I know understand: it’s the only way everything stays so clean.

    Really clean, swimming pool and fitness items all available. They really tried to make the best out of your stay

    Nothing it was perfect!

    Absolutely spotless, the hotel is so well maintained and the room is comfortable with a nice hot shower. The pool area is great for relaxing with sun loungers and towels to use. The gym is great to keep you fit on your holidays. The owners of the hotel are so lovely and will be able to help you with anything you need. It was my birthday and they arranged flowers, balloons etc which was beautiful. They also took us on an island tour and arranged all of our transport when needed. And even stored our bags for a couple of days when we took an island trip. The staff are always around to answer any questions too. The location is great as it’s more of a local feel and not in the chaos of Alona and there is restaurants in walking distance or you can take a short ride to the busy town. Highly recommend booking this hotel for a stress free trip to Bohol

    Leaving 😞..

    Location was perfect for peace and quiet and also perfectly located for tours and Alona. It was immaculately clean and the bed was super comfy. Hot water in the fabulous shower was so needed too. The menu was a Mediterranean style and the food was outstanding. We ate every night there as it was so good. Our hosts Sorina and Mihai and the staff were all beautiful and super friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. . The pool was the cleanest and coolest out of all the properties we have stayed. Sunbeds around the pool for chilling and the staff will bring cushions when you’re using them. We had our laundry cleaned there also, beautifully folded and ironed. We explored the chocolate hills on ATV, visited Tarsier sanctuary, saw the most perfect sunsets ever …Thank you for the best 5 days .. we love you all 🥰

    Stayed 4 nights in Selectum Mangrove Resort. The resort is located in quiet place. There’s no disturbing noise but peaceful nature sound all the time. But it doesn’t mean that place is far away from the convenient facilities. We rent a scooter from resort, and it tooks about only 5min to alona beach area. Every facilities were super clean and comfortable. Pool is great to swim. It was clear that the owner is putting a lot of effort into maintaining the resort well. And most of all, every filipino staffs were super kind and helpful!! + We watched fireflies every night(on the big tree inside the resort)

    Weird atmosphere, owners make you feel like they don't want you there, anything you ask seems to get a sigh and a look that you are inconveniencing them and it feels like they are always looking for a way to charge you extra money.

    Nice clean rooms and a nice pool, facilities are great, reception staff are lovely

    Small issues like not getting milk with the tea and being charged 25p for it, maybe an oversight but nothing major.

    This is a great location away from the hustle and bustle off the main st. Down a laneway which is dark at night (nothing to do with this resort as it’s local owned) so need a torch. We ate breakfast there and done the job, staff and owners couldn’t be more helpful. Word of warning if you don’t like dogs then don’t come but if like me you love them then come here. But honestly who doesn’t like dogs Pool & Gym are perfect if you want to relax and have a small workout

    Overall, everything is well-equipped. The room is just a bit small, but the environment is very comfortable. The staff and owner are very warm and easy to communicate with—just let them know if you need anything. The road leading to the resort is a bit rough, but if you prefer a quiet place away from the crowds, you’ll love it here.

    Be aware that the property is located outside of Alona beach down a small track. It is no problem at all getting tricycles there and back quite cheaply or hire a scooter so not an issue. We did walk it on one occasion but I wouldn’t recommend walking.

    Really well designed ground floor bungalows set within a garden area, with good aircon, a little terrace and very clean.
