Malinawon Resort 馬莉吶灣度假中心

Malinawon Resort 馬莉吶灣度假中心 is a 3-star, family-friendly resort in Panglao offering a year-round outdoor pool with a pool bar and shallow end, plus spa services including back, foot, and full-body massages. Each air-conditioned room includes a flat-screen TV, safety deposit box, and clothes rack, with some units offering pool views in the Queen Suite with Pool View. Dining is limited to a bar with a kitchen that has faced intermittent closures, though fresh seafood and local cuisine are highlighted, and guests have praised the cafe latte. The resort arranges dolphin and whale watching tours to Pamilacan and provides easy access to Danao Beach at 500 meters and Alona Beach at 2 kilometers, with a tuktuk terminal in front for transport. The property is 25 km from Bohol-Panglao International Airport, offering airport drop-off services. Free WiFi is available, but guest reviews consistently report weak or non-functional connections in rooms. The resort includes outdoor furniture, a sun terrace, 24-hour security, CCTV, and safety deposit boxes, but does not provide free toiletries, room slippers, or in-room storage beyond a clothes rack. Malinawon Resort 馬莉吶灣度假中心 is situated near the Mist restaurant and Bluewater, with ATM access on site, though the access road is unpaved and can become muddy. Guest feedback also notes loud airplane noise every 30-60 minutes, farm animal sounds, and a pool that is shallow at roughly 1 meter deep with water that warms in the sun.

Staff are consistently described as accommodating, friendly, and helpful, including arranging tuktuk transport.

The pool area is warm and large, with a shallow end suitable for families.

Quiet, peaceful atmosphere away from the noise of central Alona.

Housekeeping is provided daily, and late checkout was accommodated in one review.

WiFi is unreliable or non-functional in rooms.

The unpaved access road can be muddy and slippery after rain.
