Guest Reviews
Glamping Alona offers a mixed bag of experiences when it comes to its location. While guests appreciate its proximity to the airport and Alona Beach, there are a few caveats to consider. The site is notably quiet and serene, perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is a short ride from the main party and busy areas, ensuring tranquil nights without being too isolated from the attractions.
However, the remoteness can be a downside for some. Many guests pointed out that it’s far from downtown activities and not easily accessible without transportation. A scooter or tuk-tuk is often recommended to navigate the area, as walking can be cumbersome, especially at night or after rain when the roads become muddy and challenging. The road leading to the property is particularly noted as being poorly made, adding to the difficulties.
For budget-conscious travelers, the location offers good value for money with its welcoming atmosphere and charming accommodations. Despite being a bit off-center and isolated, the overall environment – which includes a bar, pool and aesthetic surroundings – has been positively received, making it a quiet and clean spot fairly close to major points of interest around Panglao.
