Selectum Mangrove Resort

Owner is expert in garden landscape Much more with the mix of pool and gym equipment Staff are well trained in terms of hospitality

Time. I wish we have more time to spend with the place 😁

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

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

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

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, the staff was friendly, the room was good, the location is also good and you can reach anything you need by tuktuk or motocycle. The restaurant also had good food offers.

Rooms perfectly clean. Everything smell great!

Pool lack of service. (Bottom and corners with green mold).

Too many rolls

Beds comfy. Clean. Other than ants. Staff were nice, owner was not. Staff bought us a free crepe.

I rarely write reviews, but after six months of travelling around Asia, this was by far the worst service we've experienced. To begin with, I had important business meetings during two of the days we stayed, and the power repeatedly cut out, leaving me without light or WiFi—essential for my work. Despite my partner informing staff that I was in meetings, they continued knocking on the door for non-urgent reasons, which was incredibly disruptive. There was no hot water when we arrived, although staff did fix this eventually. However, the hot water shuts off late at night, so if you return late or work evenings, be prepared for a cold shower. One night we had no running water at all and were given a large tub of water to wash with. The food is overpriced and mediocre, though the pancakes were decent. Even with no other guests in the restaurant, food took at least 30 minutes to arrive. While I could have overlooked many of these inconveniences, the attitude of the female owner was unacceptable. She was cold, dismissive, and treated her staff poorly—particularly the Filipino workers, which made for an uncomfortable and unpleasant environment. I eventually chose not to speak to her at all due to the clear lack of respect she showed others. (The male owner, in contrast, was polite.) There are also excessive and unreasonable rules—for example, you're not allowed to bring in outside food or drink, and will be charged if you do. It felt like another way to squeeze money from guests, especially considering the inflated food prices on site. One particularly absurd moment was being threatened with a charge for a "stained" towel—caused by a small amount of mascara and concealer. I was told they’d need to buy an entire new pack of towels (yes, really) because that’s how they’re ordered. I explained that I use white towels at home and it would come out easily in the wash, and even offered to wash it myself.

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
