Excellent personalised service. Run by the owner’s family, the stay feels like being at home away from home. Somebody always available to meet your needs. Thistle Inn can be classed as a small boutique accommodation away from but accessible to the busy tourist areas. Highly recommended to everyone including couples and families looking for a quiet place to retreat and rest after a busy day seeing the sights.

We really enjoyed staying here. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and everything you need is there. They had slippers & bathrobes, shower & swimming towels, a refrigerator and safe. You can rent a scooter if you like as well. It's only a 5 minute drive to the beach & the area is quiet. We will be back for sure. And a shout out to Frank, thank you for your help & hospitality.

Best location, staff, and rooms.

Frank, Chy and the rest of the staff were super accommodating and they went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms are well spaced, we have an infant and they made sure we had a cot available. They also catered for our baby’s food. Room is always clean without us even asking. They recommended places to visit, where to eat and what to do. The pool is literally outside the rooms so our little one had so much fun! We had the best time and we are extremely grateful to the owner and staff of thistle inn. We will definitely stay there again.

Very relaxing stay.

The place is away from the hustle bustle, very quiet and serene, relaxing with well planned out lay out. Just make sure you have good Wifi connections since the airport in Panglao is spotty. Even after using a local phone, couldn't connect to the hotel. But once we got checked in, everthing went well. The owner was apologetic. The place is well maintained, clean ,spotless, good hot showers and AC. Service is prompt, mini restaurant food was good, you can eat at your patio or at the dining area. Pool was inviting. They will call you a " tuktuk" to get to Alona Beach ( 20 minutes away) about $8.50 round trip. They can arrange excursions for you too. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing stay at the Inn.
