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!
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.
To 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.
I had a really pleasant experience overall. The service was excellent — the staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. They made sure everything was comfortable and smooth throughout my stay.
The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and complete with everything we needed. It felt safe and relaxing, which made the experience even better.
As for the food, I truly enjoyed it! The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. There were good options to choose from, and everything tasted great.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to others. 😊
