Magnificent view of the ocean

Ocean Suites: A Family-Friendly Hotel With Stunning Ocean Views

Our experience at Ocean Suites Hotel

Ocean Suites left a good impression on us because of how good the hotel looked, and also the stunning view of the Bohol Sea that it provided. Furthermore, despite the fact that it was just a small hotel, it was not crowded during the time when checked in although it was not yet peak season. We also traveled with a toddler, the son of our friends, and he definitely enjoyed the amenities of Ocean Suites such as the swimming pool, the activity area, and the restaurant.

There is free WiFi at Ocean Suites but the signal is very weak. You would be better off bringing a pocket WiFi or using your mobile data if you want to stay connected to your social media accounts.

Top 5 things to do at Ocean Suites

Ocean Suites is a small hotel but that does not mean that there is nothing to do here in case you do decide to spend the day in your room.

Here are some of your options:

1. Swim in the pool

There are two swimming pools in Ocean Suites. One is the infinity pool in the basement. This is the best option if you do not want to venture far from your room if you are checked in a standard room.

The other swimming pool is at the lower ground floor and is recommended if you want to lounge while enjoying the spectacular ocean view. Both swimming pools are open from 7 AM until 10 PM.

2. Have a massage

If you feel like you need some pampering, you may inquire from the reception area about the hotel's massage services. Since Ocean Suites does not have a spa, the massage session will be done at the convenience and comfort of your own room.

3. Play table tennis

There is an activity area in the basement of Ocean Suites where you can play board games as well as table tennis. Guests who are interested to use the facilities and amenities of the hotel may inquire from the reception area.

4. Spend a quiet day just marveling at the magnificent ocean view

Probably one of the best features of Ocean Suites is the beautiful view of the blue ocean it accords its guests. It's almost a sin not to take advantage of the gorgeous views.

Enjoying the sun

So, why not spend an afternoon on a poolside bench, reading a book, sipping a nice drink, and just looking at the vastness of the gleaming ocean from time to time.

5. Have coffee and dessert at Ocean Cafe

If you are craving for coffee and sweets, you need not go far. Just head over to Ocean Cafe and have your fill of cappuccino and tiramisu while reading a book.

Dining at Ocean Suites

We ate most of our meals at Azure Restaurant, Ocean Suites' signature restaurant. All accommodation packages are inclusive of a breakfast buffet from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The breakfast buffet is not as extensive as that found in five-star hotels although the food selection is enough to satisfy your palate.

Pancakes

The mainstays at the breakfast table are garlic rice, soup, pancakes, sausages, cereal and milk, an omelet station, and coffee and juice or iced tea. Depending on the day, the restaurant serves either bacon, corned beef, salted fish, fish fillet, or adobo on top of these standard selections.

Spring rolls

Since there were no other restaurants within the vicinity of the hotel, we also ordered our dinner at Azure Restaurant. Their menu includes rice meals, Filipino dishes, sizzlers, burgers and sandwiches, and pasta. Price ranges from Php275 to Php550.

Sizzling squid

Those who want to grab coffee and dessert may have their fill of sweets at Ocean Café, which also doubles as a small souvenir shop.
