We had a very enjoyable stay at North Zen Villas. The property is peaceful and beautifully designed, and the swimming pool was a highlight — never too crowded, making it perfect for a relaxing dip anytime.
One of us tried the massage and was very pleased with the experience. We also highly recommend visiting South Farm, especially if you’re traveling with kids — it’s well worth it.
There’s some room for improvement in the cleanliness of the common areas, particularly given the number of staff on site. It would also be great if the team were more proactive in suggesting activities.

Large clean and cozy room.
King size bed was comfortable which provided much needed sleep. The tub in the room was so relaxing with a fantastic view of nature. Hot water was steady in the bathroom. AC was respite from the outside humidity. The restaurant offered ample sized delicious home grown cooked meals. The staff from the reception, security, environmental services & cleaning crews to the restaurant were actively engaged to ensure you’re attended swiftly. Shout out to Jane!!! This is the place to watch the sunset. North Zen Villas is the sister resort of Oceanic; this resort is quiet and a short ride from the party scene of Alona Beach. Overall, this resort is a solace from a busy hectic life. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Excellent stay; was here for three nights. Beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained property. Everyone on the staff was professional, courteous, and helpful. The resort is located just a few miles from the busy, loud streets of Alona Beach. Thus, it offers a pleasant escape from the noise and traffic. The mangrove forest, located behind the resort, is a lovely nature reserve and there is a great sunset spot at the end of the boardwalk. One of the best resorts in all of Panglao.

The accommodation was fantastic. The room was clean and the hotel staff was friendly and welcoming.

Good

Services, staff, food, clean room. Beautiful and relaxing facilities. We’ll be back again and again

We absolutely loved our stay here! The staff went above and beyond to make our honeymoon truly special and were so accommodating in every way. Since many of our tours started early, they arranged takeaway breakfasts for us, which was a huge help.

We stayed in the pool villa, which was amazing, peaceful, away from the crowds, and the floating delight breakfast was a highlight! The bathroom and shower were incredible: very spacious with great water pressure. We also enjoyed strolling along the bamboo walk to the bar, which doubled as a great running path. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced as well.

While the hotel is about a 12-minute tuk-tuk ride to the center, we actually valued being on the outskirts of the chaos of Alona Beach. Coming back to such peace and quiet was exactly what we needed, especially while dealing with jet lag. This was truly a little slice of paradise; I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it and would love to stay again!
