"The staff were perfect. The location is great. I always stay here when I visit the Philippines."

"I loved this resort. If I go to Anilao again, I will definitely choose this resort again."

"We had a very pleasant stay at the Blue Ribbon Dive Resort. We had a sea view room, very clean, even if the room is not new, it is consistent with the photos and comfortable. The instantaneous water heater was new: completely functional. The restaurant was very good (local, Asian and international cuisine) for a reasonable price. A drinking water dispenser in a can was available. The resort staff were helpful and polite. When we booked (direct contact by email), everything went very well, the discussion was easy, as was the organization, even up to our transfer from the airport) On the diving side, the premises are a little old but functional (more than sufficient for us). A dry room dedicated to cameras with compressed air to dry equipment is a real plus. The guides were very friendly, they showed us lots of things. We have never formed a group of more than 4 divers. In general, there were 6 to 8 clients on the boat for 2 dive masters. The only small downside would be the management of the dive curve, with square dives at 20 m, for heavy air consumers like me, making it difficult to achieve an hour of diving. We did not test the equipment rental because we came equipped. The divemasters were very friendly and very attentive to our desires. Night diving in the port of Anilao is a must do! Thank you to the whole team for this successful stay."

"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."

"People are friendly, quiet, and you will feel that you are in the province. Very thankful for the guy who cooked for me and my friend so we could have dinner even though they are already closed. There are lots of places there to chill. Also, the number in the app or in the receipt is not updated, you might try to call it but someone would tell you that you dialed the wrong number. So if you would like to contact the accommodation you can try to message them here instead."

"Very friendly and helpful staff and manager, they assisted us during our stay, there were no unpleasant smell at all, rooms are clean, drinking water is nice, worth the money."

"Stayed there for the second time for 2weeks this year, supa clean rooms , staff pay so much attention to detail, owners and management are so willing to please guests, the menu changes depending on guest requirements, if there is anything you prefer to eat just ask management, supa friendly staff."

"Pam Aniloa and Padoys Dive Camp is a clean and well run family scuba diving centre, accommodation and restaurant. Good value for money. All day dining restaurant and good wifi. The hotel will even arrange car transfer for you from Manila at a reasonable cost."

"Thank you, Porto Novo Hotel, for the beautiful view and the very accommodating staff. Even the owner personally interacts with the guests, which makes the experience more special. In Mabini, most resorts are beachfront, and if you’re looking for a beachfront stay, Porto Novo is definitely one of the good choices! 🏖️"
