My son and I really had great time in this place. Staff is great - very flexible, accommodating and ready to give you a hand - and I like how the place is, nothing pretentious, structure uses indigenous materials, just the way I like it. There's an amazing place to sit/ rest shaped like heart, lovely swings, bamboo lounges, etc. At night, they amazing lighting which makes the place very Instagrammable. We loved staying at On Board!

There were several dogs stay under the table while you're eating. My son isn't very fond of dog wanting to lick and be petted, so we had to shoo them away.

Whole resort looks amazing from outside. They did great job planning and decorating. Very beautifully lit at night. Peaceful and relaxing. We were impressed. Beach and plam trees just at the door step was everything. Dumaluan Beach is one of the best beaches I've seen in my life. Very good food. Nice bar staff😀 Amaizng view from our balcony. Walk to the place from the drop off point really takes only 5mins and is very pleasant apart from the first minute when you walk thru the rocky road.

Unfortunately, the room inside was a let down. Looks very used and old. Quite big hole in the floor, lots of ants and lizards.

The hotel is directly at the beautiful beach. You can walk along the water all the way to the end of Dumaluan Beach. The outdoor area and restaurant/bar facilities are cozy and stylish. The staff was exceptional. Really friendly, helpful and always with a smile. At the moment it's not possible to drive to the hotel with a car, motorbike is possible but one part of the path is rocky and steep. They send you the exact drop-off point for taxi drivers and a guide how to walk to the hotel, after booking. It's a 10min walk, easy to find as they have a lot of signs along the footpath. On the main street (15 min walk) there is a good laundry and a small shop.

If you book the budget room, don't expect anything more than a basic room with a small bed. This room definitely needs a deep cleaning and some furniture/shelfs. As we were on the beach or in the outdoor area the most time and we needed the room only to shower and sleep, it was ok for us.

Nice and quiet location , right on the beach but away from the busy part . Staff were very friendly and helpful ,chilled out and easy going . Wifi was excellent , able to pick it up from the rooms , to the bar area and towards the beach sitting/viewing area . food menu was up to a good standard , a mix of asian /european ,reasonably priced .Overall a fairly enjoyable experience for the family and a welcome break from routine .

The road from the drop off area to the resort needs to be better maintained as it is gravel and rough for bags and suitcases .

It was such a beautiful location! A little off the beaten track but thats whats so special about it! Its laidback and chill, while at the same time feeling very special and fancy because of the amazing view! The cabinas are so cute, and i loved the chill zones. Also the puppies are adorable and always put a smile on my face. The staff were all super attentive and friendly. A very nice atmosphere ✨️💓

The showers in the shared bathrooms were not the nicest, a little uncomfortable with very low water pressure but thats not a problem if its only a short stay like mine. If you hope to stay longer maybe its best to upgrade to a private bathroom. There is also no laundry service, but on the main road there is one! Be aware that you have to walk approx ten minutes along the beach to get to the main road but again, its paradise, no complaints!

The main thing I enjoyed was the bar staff. They are employed to keep you company and entertained while you're at the bar, which is different, and good. How many places do you stay at where you and the staff learn each other's names and you remember them afterwards?

The access road was absolutely dire, but that goes for all the resorts along that part of the beach. If you're into motocross and brought your track bike you might enjoy it. The room I had was basic (cheap and cheerful?) but the bed was comfortable enough. Speaking of the access road, they do direct you to park somewhere else and walk along the beach (nice) to get there.

There were several things we loved: The people absolutely make this place special - the barman (Juanbal? and Ferdinand) as well as the girls behind reception. Dog friendly - we had our dog with us and the other dogs played really well with her and the staff were very friendly to her (Umi). The relaxed atmosphere and views were amazing.

Wifi - we had to work a few days and had to go find better wifi so we could do our calls - the place is not set up for business so we can’t hold that against Onboard but faster wifi would be nice. The communal shower/toilets aren’t great - there are a few bigger rooms at the bag next to them that aren’t being used - seems like they would be great to build a proper toilet room and shower room where you could have 4 of each rather than have toilet and shower in 1. hot water would be nice. Pests - a rat got into our room which wasn’t nice as I have a phobia, but, we were in a hut on the beach so, it can happen. Accessibility - not difficult to get to and means you are right on a slightly secluded beach - difficult for those with walking issues.

The resort area is small but quite beautiful. The entrance is literally on the best beach of the whole island. We stayed in the Kubo rooms, little beach huts, and it was an awesome experience. The shared toilets were honestly better than I thought and the place was quieter at night than I expected.

Getting to the hotel the first time is not so easy, but the reception tells you everything in advance. If you arrive by scooter, you can actually go all the way until the back entrance and save a lot of walking!

We spent our first night in Panglao in a small Kubo in this little paradise. Loved it so much that after a couple of days traveling around the island we wanted to return here so we booked a few nights more. We will definitely come back to On Board next time. Such a cozy place in a peaceful and beautiful location. Have a nice cup of coffee and step right into the ocean is quite nice way to start the day. Take a walk on a long white beach is a nice stress reliever. Each Kubo has a hammock so why not lie there and take a nap or work on your laptop. Not too crowded or too touristy area but an easy access to the hustle and bustle if you feel like that. Awesome and very helpful staff. Good food too.

It would've been even better if I didn't have to work but the restaurant area was super nice place to do that as well. There's a wifi but this is the Philippines, it might work or it might not.

The resort is out of the huzzle and buzzle of the Alona beach area, but easily reachable by tuk-tuk. The big plus is that the resort is right on the beach, adjecent to a beautiful white beach. The rooms are basic but clean and good value for money. The staff were also very helpful in arranging day tours. The walk from the drop off point to the hotel might be discouraging for some people, but the hotel arranged for teh carrying of the luggage, which made it easier.
