"If you are looking for an intimate family birthday celebration. This is the place. So peaceful and beautiful. They are very accomodating also. They make guest feel warm and welcome. From the guard in the entrance. The staff who serves us water and peanuts while waiting in the lounge. The waiters who attend to our needs while we dine. Thumbs up to you guys! Plus.... you know I give credit to toilets The washroom is so clean, smells good. Complete with tissue, sanitizer and soap. I can even sleep inside...hahaha they have this long wood chair (I dunno the name) that you can wait while your daughter do her poopsy. Overall... I will surely comeback for a date with hubby. To take lots of garden pictures and food pictures. P.s. I haven't gotten any garden and food shots for myself 'cause instant photographer right here."

"Ibabaw has had its ups and downs. Always a beautiful location, but until recently inconsistent on food quality. That has now changed. At least as of July 2024 they have a new chef and a tuned up menu. Still focusing on upscale Filipino food, but they are again now a clear leader in Bohol. It is again my "go to" place for nicer dining or when I want to treat friends to a nice night out. Bohol is lucky to have this gem. And with their new chef this gem is really shining bright."

"Owner is proud of his area and it shows on the attention to details. Food was fresh and very tasty. Service and people are nice, friendly and helpful. It was calm and cozy which is what we wanted. Pool zone is nice and material is new."

"All the dishes we ordered were devoured whole-heartedly and savoured to the last bit. They were presented very well, and the taste did not disappoint. Prices tend to be on the higher spectrum. Ibabaw Gardens may be called thus because of the abundant ornamental green plants used to decorate the area. It also has wood furnishings which adds up to that warm atmosphere matched by the gracious reception and service we received from the staff. Both al fresco and indoor seating are offered."
