Tierra Azul Beach Resort

We were tourists on a budget and so finding a decent place that is within our budget is our main concern.  Tried to look online for resorts in Panglao Island and only Tierra Azul is the cheapest resort we saw.  At first they offered us the standard room for 2 at 1,500php with breakfast, additional person is charged 300php.  We planned to get 2 standard rooms for the 5 of us but then they gave it to a group who had deposited earlier and offered us the dormitory room for 8 at 2,000php per night with free breakfast.

We arrived in Tierra Azul around 6pm or 7pm after our whole day tour in Tagbilaran, Bohol.  Here’s a quick review on the good and bad points about Tierra Azul which we experienced during our stay.

Good points

-          Friendly staff

-          Free breakfast, food is good.

-          Room, bed sheets, pillows are clean.

-          Free use of towel, soap, and tissue.

-          It is true that they are 20 steps away from the beach.

-          Situated in part of Panglao Island where there is night life.

Bad points

-          Water interruption.  We experienced this twice – (1) when we arrived, we had to take a shower but unfortunately no water would come out of it and so we had to ask for a bucket and dipper. (2) Morning on our last day, no single drop of water would come out of the faucet; we were not able to take a bath before heading to the airport.

-          Problem with door lock, broken window, and no proper lights outside and within the vicinity.

-          Narrow hallway on the 2^nd floor.

-          Aircon not in good condition.

-          Room locks and surroundings do not look that safe.

I would advise you to stay in Tierra Azul if you are on a budget trip and you just need a decent room for sleeping and a place to put your stuffs.  But if you are on a serious vacation and you want a relaxing beach experience better find another resort that is a bit expensive and with better accommodation.
