We love Bohol and Alona Beach and have had several holidays there since our first visit back in 2005 when we stayed at the lovely Alona Palm Beach hotel which is now the Henann Resort.  Unfortunately, Henann's prices have gone up so much that we decided to try another smaller, more reasonably priced resor and chose the Pyramid Beach Resort which we had seen on previous visits and where we'd had dinner several times over the years.  It has a wonderful location on Alona Beach and is really only steps to a number of other hotels and restaurants, making it very convenient.

We had booked a ground floor room as I have arthritis and find it difficult to climb stairs.  The room was very nicely located at the back of the resort just beside the pool and away from the noise at the front of the resort from neighboring bars with live music.  The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was fine, the air-conditioning worked very well and there was a small desk space where we could put the laptop but only had a stool rather than a proper chair.  We ended up bringing in one of the chairs from outside the room as the stool wasn't suitable.  The WiFi in the room was fine, we had no problems with it at all during our stay.  One strange thing was that in the bathroom there was no hot water in the washbasin, only in the shower.  It's not a major problem but it's nice having hot water for shaving in the morning.

The one problem with the room is that there were lots of little ants everywhere, particularly in the bathroom and also near where the fridge and TV are located.  It was my partner's birthday and I had ordered a cake which was delivered at dinner on his birthday, which was lovely.  We took the cake back to the room and looked forward to having it the next day but forgot to put it in the fridge and the next morning it was crawling with ants so had to be put straight in the garbage!

We found the staff at the hotel very nice and easy to deal with, in particular all the young ladies at the reception who were charming, helpful and efficient.  The hotel should be proud of them and the service they provide for guests.   The wait staff at the restaurant were also very nice but unfortunately spoiled my partner's surprise birthday cake somewhat as one of the young ladies obviously thought the cake was for me and asked Alvin in Tagalog (so I wouldn't understand) when he would like the cake to be delivered to our table!  When they did bring the cake, it was before they had cleared the table so I was the one who cleared the dishes while the 4 of them were singing Happy Birthday so we could take some photos of the cake being cut etc.  They really should have waited, cleared all the dishes from the table and then brought the cake out.  So, friendly service but not particularly efficient or professional.

The one major negative about the resort is the swimming pool which looks lovely on the website but when you arrive, you are told that the pool is 10 feet deep as it was designed for giving diving lessons by a previous owner.  Access to the pool was problematic too for anyone like me who is a Senior Citizen suffering from arthritis as obviously there were no steps, just a ledge and a ladder to climb down into the pool.  As a result, we did not use the pool at all during our stay, which was a real pity.  I do think the hotel's website should mention the problem with the pool as it is a major negative aspect of the hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at the Pyramid Beach Resort but probably would not go back because of the few negatives mentioned in the review.  If the rooms could be remodeled and made more comfortable and totally ant-free and some sort of solution found for the dreadful pool, it would definitely be a more attractive property on Alona Beach.

A pleasant small hotel that could be much better!

Over the last week I have stayed with my wife and also extended family.

I just love Pyramid Resort. Fantastic location on Alona Beach, small resort set back with beautiful pool.

The bungalow upstairs/floor level was really nice for us. Very clean, everything in working order.

I love the staff here, very friendly and always attentive, makes a big difference to your stay.

I loved it so much I cancelled other accomodation just so I could come back here.

I would definitely come back here as my first choice, really wish could have stayed longer.

Keep up the great work Pyramid and Thankyou for your staff.

Can’t fault- everything perfect for us

(+)
- Located at the heart of Alona beach, there are full of eating and drinking options.
- Nice big deep swimming pool if you do not want the beach

(-)
- Can be quite noisy if you are looking to have a quiet night due to all the bars along the beach
- I got a single unit hut and it was quite dusty. Dust can be found on my bed every morning (bed is at the roof floor)
- staircase up to my bed (2nd level) is very steep, with the TV and bathroom located on the ground floor

Good location but rooms can be cleaner

Lovely hotel with excellent staff and good service.  Food was great and very reasonable priced.  The manager makes guests feel welcome and knows how to look after their wishes.  Very clean rooms and comfortable beds. Also,  a very nice swimming pool.  The hotel is right on the beach,  and not far from all the nightlife and entertainment.  Highly recommended 

Great hotel with excellent amenities

The resort is ok but not a 4-star as rated on Google but only a 3. What was really irritating was the unbearable noise some nights from the blasting karaoke singing at the nearby Jazz bar that painstakingly lasted till 4 in the morning made it a terrible experience. There is no guard who should take care of the resort at night including such disturbance. Will not stay here again.

unbearable noise from the beach

Pros

Excellent Location beachfront 
Great food (Pizza and Burger) and service
Clean and quiet room with white crisp linens
Clean pool
The place has a homey and island vibe
Nice set up of dining area in beachfront 
Staff are well accomodating
Try their German Beer!

Cons

We’re family with young child we don’t like second hand smoking. Most of the time tourists smoke a lot in the beachfront.

I just wish their pillows is a bit thinner. :)

Overall, our stay in Pyramid is relaxing and comfortable. We’ll be back soon definitely! 

Just wish that they don’t allow smoking in their beachfront front dining.

Best resort in Alona Bohol

We have stayed the the Pyramid Beach Resort for 10 nights and really fell in love with it. The property is clean and in a very good shape too. Rooms we really nice and clean as well. But the most outstanding part was the staff. It has been a while since I have been to a hotel where every single person was so friendly, forestall and welcoming. They made our trip...special thanks to RJ and Arlene!!! 

PS: The only tiny little thing was the noise in our room starting at around 7am, because we had the housekeeping room just behind. So better don’t choose room 8 if you want to sleep in 🤣

Beautiful little hotel with outstanding friendly staff!!!!

 Restaurant located on the beach.
 You can pick your food from variety of fresh fish, meats and vegetables presented at the front of the restaurant. Prepared quickly. Good selection of sides too. Wifi available 👍

Good Grilled Food at the Restaurant 

Everything is perfect here:
Staff very very friendly, super well located on the beach, food is excellent , drinks are good! Rooms, pool and all areas are super clean.
They take credit cards :)
We highly recommend !! 


Everything perfect 

We stayed in Pyramid for 3 nights. First off - the pros: the staff is very courteous. The rooms are also far away from the noise of the activities happening on the beach. We were quite lucky that we were able to lounge in the pool as though the property is fully booked, people were always out by the beach. Bottled water was replenished daily. Food in their restaurant is GREAT, we didn't even try anywhere else after our first day exploring other restaurants in the beach (which were sadly, a bit mediocre).

For improvement: upon arrival, the bathroom in our room had a bit of a pungent smell. We just cleaned it with hot water, but I think an air freshener would've helped a lot. Also, the electric kettle for tea and coffee was dirty. It had water and some particles in it, so didn't bother to use it. Lastly - not really the resort's fault per se, but someone was staying in the room above ours and they loooved dragging chairs which was very annoying.

Overall, would come back and still stay with them as their food is really awesome.
