Bird of Paradise is a hidden gem for those seeking peace and relaxation. The rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and beautifully designed, offering a serene escape. The food is fresh and flavorful, adding a delightful touch to the stay. However, the location might be challenging for some, as the property is tucked away in an off-road area with a bumpy one-way route and occasional water crossings. While the journey can be a bit tricky, the tranquil atmosphere and quality of the stay make it worth the trip. Overall, a fantastic choice for those who value privacy, and comfort.

the breakfast didn’t quite meet my expectations. The options were quite limited, as breakfast was served from a set menu rather than a buffet, which restricted the variety. I was hoping for a wider selection, especially when it came to fresh fruits, but the portion provided was quite small. While the food itself was decent, the lack of choices and minimal fruit offerings made the experience feel underwhelming. This might not be the best option if you prefer a more extensive breakfast selection.

We had a great stay at Birds of Paradise, the staff were lovely and attentive - it was my sisters birthday whilst we were there so I asked them to help put up some decorations and they went above and beyond to decorate our room and keep a surprise! There was a good choice of breakfast in the morning and a variety of lunch/dinner items to choose from if you wanted to stay in the hotel. The main area is around a 15 minute walk away but the hotel also offers a free shuttle to Alona Beach which was really helpful during our stay. The pool was cleaned daily and was lovely and blue.

There was a lot of construction work going on around the property during our stay - which we realise is out of the hotels control but I would flag that it is currently going on as it is loud all through the day if you wish to spend a day by the pool. Cleaning of the rooms was simple with beds made and towels folded; we had to take dirty glasses down to the bar area and to get fresh coffee mugs and tea bags as they were not replaced each day (however this was a tiny inconvenience).

We had a pleasant stay…. the front desk and restaurant/bar staff is super friendly and helpful - quintessential Filipinos! The drink prices are great - less than the bars and restaurants outside the property. As for the room, it was spacious and well designed. The location is off the main road but it was an easy walk to the restaurants and beach. The local road is dark at night and muddy if it rains… but still very doable if you decide not to use the complimentary tuktuk ride. There is an ongoing building site next door which concerned us but the noise was not too bothersome. We still enjoyed the pool that we had to ourselves for two afternoons even though the property was fully booked during our 4 day stay.

The WIFi signal in room 104 was non existent.

Room and hotel facilities were brilliant WiFi was really good Staff were friendly and super helpful with recommendations Breakfast was okay, we ate out a couple of times as we wanted to try a few different cafes. The free shuttle that the hotel offers is great, they are happy to do drop offs/pick ups from anywhere close by, and if you want to go a little further it only costs 100-200PHP.

Consider booking day trips in the town itself, they were quite expensive if you book through the hotel.

The rooms were very comfortable and the pool was kept nice and clean. The staff were excellent and always happy to help. Hotel was peaceful and slightly away from the main town centre, but the hotel provided a Tuk-tuk to the town or beach at any time. The food was very nice, very tasty and great snacks by the pool with some superb cocktails made by the staff - mango daiquiris were a highlight! Would definitely return.

Probably the only downside was a poor internet connection in the .

The service was absolutely incredible. We loved Aldon, Matthew, Kimberly and Plans! They helped us to prepare the room for my partners birthday. On arrival we had an Ube cake, wine, balloons and flowers!! They did an incredible job. The location is a little out of the way but they offer free tricycle shuttles to the main road. Fast WiFi in the restaurant area. Great pool and grounds.

I wish the WiFi in the room was faster because I was working during my visit and had to be online from 9pm to 2am. The mold in the bathroom was a little unnerving.

Great hotel! Nice staff! Great hotel. Good value for money. Nice staff, providing everything you need. Room was good. Towels were changed and room was cleaned every day. There is a free shuttle to and from the busy area and you can request it by WhatsApp anytime you need. Pool bar has nice snacks and there is an happy hour for cocktails.

The breakfast could have more continental/international options and the pool more sun beds.

Comfortable and nicely decorated rooms with everything you need to relax. Albeit not directly on the beach, the garden and pool makes it a nice cosy little place, not far from other tourists attractions and restaurants Massage in the room available and cocktails at the bar to drink by the pool.

Not much food available in house during our stay. But they have a free tuktuk taking you anywhere around Alona. A bit of construction ongoing at the neighbours but shouldn't last forever.

We stayed in the pool villa, which was very nice. The breakfast and restaurant food was excellent, as well as the drinks. The staff was very accommodating to all our requests. They had a tuk tuk for a short ride to Alona Beach area. The hotel was in a quiet area away from the Alona Beach noise and bustle.

There were mosquitos, although that is common throughout the Philippines.

We liked the look of the facilities and the pool. The rooms were big and the staff was very helpful. We also liked the free shuttle to the beach.

Unfortunately there is a construction site next to the hotel so it was a bit noisy (of course not the hotels fault). Transport and tours were much more expensive than the usual price in town.
