Beach was nothing to see.cant swim.seaorgins everywhere .and the whole panglo is most boring place we have seen in whole Asia,next stop we had siquior hotel aloha seside and becono resort super nice.and nice beaches 5 min walk from becano

Room was exactly as depicted on the photos. I was a bit concerned because of some reviews but everything was really fine! Beautiful balcony and view of the pool. Large room, very clean, very comfortable bed. Nice pool area, well kept. Beautiful hideaway nice and quiet. Friendly staff also helping me with my luggage as it is a bit uphill and up the stairs. Very thankful for being able to deposit my luggage during a two day biketrip until my return. Only a 2min. walk to the beach. Hotel also organised transfer to the ferry port at reasonable price.

Everything was great. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Location is ideal to avoid the Alona Beach and all its vendors, bad massage parlors and expensive restaurants. Beach is a 2mn from the hotel, this one is quiet. Yet it's still very convenient to explore Panglao and Bohol. Swimming pool is nice, there is breakfast and the rooms are nice, cool and clean. It is possible to rent motorcycles.

To get to the Ananda Resort, we had rented a small van from the port city of Tagbilaran, which got us there just fine. The turnoff to the hotel, a barely paved road, initially raised a bit of skepticism, but this dissipated immediately upon entering the hotel area. The Ananda Resort is a small hotel complex with - maybe - about 16 double rooms, which thus exudes a family atmosphere, which is also reflected in the team of the hotel. The resort is also very beautifully designed! We had three smaller rooms reserved for us, which were already quite small; as well as Comfort Room. I would have wished for a little more storage space. For short stays, however, these smaller rooms are certainly sufficient, moreover, there were several nicely designed lounge areas outside, so that we were anyway rather rarely in the rooms. And we also enjoyed the small hotel pool very much! By the way, from the veranda of the second floor you have a beautiful view out to sea! To the beach it is therefore also only a few meters! Also there we have stayed more often and enjoyed the life there. For breakfast you could choose the typical Filipino breakfast (rice, egg and corned beef or ham, with a little fruit, and also coffee, tea and a fruit juice drink) or also the "continental breakfast, where there was then toast instead of rice. For dinner you could choose from a small menu some typical Filipino dishes like Pork Adobo, but also, what was important for our children, French fries and "Chicken Schnitzel." It was always delicious and priced right, so we mostly chose dinner at the hotel. At the front desk, you could also order cold drinks throughout the day in addition to chips, including a craft beer brewed on the island, which was also very interesting! For larger errands, there was a supermarket about 15 minutes walk away, which is a nice walk for a German tourist. Closer either towards the beach or in the opposite direction were some smaller sari-sari stores.

Got a welcome drink upon arrival at the reception which was lovely, Beautiful place to be in, close the the beach like 2-3mins walk, Justin who was the receptionist was kind and very helpful, even he tried to wake me up to have breakfast in their dining area. Nice ambiance, peaceful and pool was clean and not crowded. Even I left something personal in my room and did not get it back, I am still thankful they replied back to my email. I love the pressure of the water in the sink and shower, especially the water heater where I've been to 3 hotels during my 4 days stay no heater at all, hence! Ananda has it hahaha and it was a relief!!! Relaxing music in the dining area next to the pool. Television good connection, and good wifi connection plus they got generator. (coz the other hotel that I've stayed there was no generator that is why I moved here in Ananda meaning brownout issues are common) Bolod Beach was way better, beautiful and quiet compare to Alona Beach.
