“Hammocks and a garden distinguish this Panglao budget option, located less than a kilometer from Alona Beach. The design incorporates natural materials, and the vibe seems geared toward relaxation and a communal atmosphere. I think it's a solid pick for backpackers who want to be near the action but prefer a quieter setting.”
