The hotel's excellent environment and design are truly eye-catching. The ocean view hotel is right above the sea, perfect for diving. The hotel management is very professional, the service is good, and the food is also quite good at a reasonable price!

Anonymous UserAs soon as we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the guard, who promptly informed the front desk of our arrival. He clearly directed us to the reception area and kindly reminded us to be careful while going down the long staircase, very efficient and friendly service.
The front desk staff were professional and polite. They even offered to extend our check-out time to 2 PM so we could better enjoy our stay, especially since we arrived around 6 PM. We truly appreciated this thoughtful gesture as we were celebrating my birthday.
The food was excellent. The lechon kawali was a standout, perfectly crispy and juicy. The halaan soup tasted comforting and homey, and the fish fillet was crisp on the outside while tender and flavorful inside. The sandwich was also good.
The view is absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking sunset. Our room was spacious and even had a balcony, which we loved.
The only downside was the pool, which is quite small and can get crowded if everyone decides to swim. The Water pressure in the bathroom in our room is weak we had a hard time showering and flushing the toilet.
Additionally, the staff at the water activities area were not very accommodating. Although kayak and snorkeling equipment are complimentary, they seemed uninterested in assisting us. We noticed they were more attentive to foreign guests, and we hope the staff can provide equal service to all guests in the future.
Overall, it was a lovely stay with just a few areas for improvement.

Accommodation & dining was mediocre.
However, the diving was AMAZING; facilities and quality of the diving equipment are seriously good and well maintained.
The dive master was exceptional and the dive shop offered great service including all the boat crew.
Would have given a 6 star rating for the diving only.
Beware when booking via trip.com, there were massive issues and the reservation was recorded in the resort's system until I followed up with trip.com - quite a hassle.

We stayed in Porto Novo Anilao Dive & Leisure Resort for 7 days 6 nights. The rooms are very clean and the food in their restaurant is very good. The F&B staff are friendly and the food is yummy. We did 16 dives with them. Thanks very much to instructor Mervin, JM and their dive team. They are professional, very friendly and make you feel like a VIP. They took us to several beautiful dive sites which I never think Anilao have them. I strongly recommend this resort and I am sure I will come back again.
Special thanks to Janet for the Lo Mei, JM for the Mei Hon and Halo Halo. Hope to see you all again very soon.

The hotel is very comfortable and it is very comfortable. The hotel was very clean and we particularly appreciated the free diving activity we reserved at the hostel (the activity is made a few steps from the accommodation and thanks to the coach mac we loved !).
As every youth hostel sleep comfort depends on the noise that others make and here the little concern are the children of owners who have not hurt noise very early every morning (en regarding for example videos the sound a fondo while we sleep on the other side of the separation). We have discussed with other travelers who had the same concern, it may be a cultural issue but in all cases it has not prevented us from spending a super stay!
Last point: Do not hesitate to take a mask for the eyes because the light of the corridor is out very late and it almost day in the room when it is lighted.

This was an amazing trip! I haven't had a chance to write a review but here it goes.
1. The staff - Super amazing and friendly, always smiling and helpful.
2. The managers - great, caring, funny and always went above and beyond to help and accommodate.
3. Resort - Amazing ocean view and lots of activities, we went back 3 times in a span of 2 weeks. Lol
4. Room - clean and comfortable!
5. Food and drinks - delicious and amazing! One of the best in the Philippines.
I've been to many hotels and resorts worldwide, but this has been the top of all of my stays. The vibe, the friendliness, activities, food and drinks. I've never felt so relaxed and I didn't even need to use my phone. No stress and all good vibes! Waking up to see the ocean with a nice cup of coffee with smooth music, it makes the hours of drive (almost 4 hours one way) to there well worth it.
In my opinion, this was more than a stay, this was an unforgettable experience! We have been through the regular days and also the typhoon days, they have been amazing and helpful the whole time! It was definitely an adventure! Now I'm back in Florida again and I miss this place, but I'm planning a visit the Philippines next year and I will make this my top place to visit!

Three friends and I stayed here during a trip to the Philippines.
From Manila Airport, we first traveled to the bus terminal in Manila city, then took a two-hour bus ride from Manila to Batangas, and then a one-hour taxi ride from there.
If possible, I think it would be easier to charter a car from Manila.
The hotel was very clean and comfortable.
We had a great time relaxing by the pool and trying our hand at diving.
There's nothing around the hotel, so we had to eat at the hotel restaurant, but the food was of very high quality and delicious.
They also had a few Japanese dishes, such as tonkatsu, which was nice.
Overall, the prices were high for a resort hotel, but it was a great experience worth the price.

Guest UserTo go to this kind of island, you must be mentally prepared for inconvenient transportation and inconvenience for shopping and eating, so I stayed there for three nights and ate in the hotel. The hotel’s things are acceptable. The next morning I went to the vegetable market with the hotel's purchases, and wanted to buy some lobsters. I didn't know that the seafood over there was expensive and there was nothing to choose from. I didn't have to worry about it for the next two days. I just wanted to eat whatever the hotel had. The hotel staff are very nice, nice and enthusiastic. They will try their best to satisfy you if you have any requirements. Although they are a hotel, they feel like a homestay and are responsive.

The most famous spot here is the Anilao diving area, considered a ”macro paradise” by divers worldwide—not for grandeur, but for detail; quiet, yet captivating.
Even if you don't dive, it's a great place to sit by the sea and watch the clouds, waves, and the slowly shifting light.
Disadvantages: The hotel room Wi-Fi was broken and not properly fixed. There are mosquitoes, so bring mosquito repellent. The food is on the pricier side, probably to match the beautiful scenery.
