17 Tage Buceo Anilao Resort In der Zeit von Mitte März bis Anfang April 2025 habe ich dort, als Einzelreisende, meinen Tauchurlaub verbracht. Im Vorfeld viel im Internet gelesen um das für mich optimale Domizil zu finden. Das oben genannte Resort viel mir durch gute Bewertungen immer wieder ins Auge, jetzt nach dem Urlaub muss ich sagen, ich kann die Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen. Die Anreise ist von Deutschland recht angenehmen, Flug nach Manila und dann noch ca 3 Stunden Transfer. Die letzten 10 Minuten per Boot – hat alles sehr gut geklappt. Gebucht hatte ich einen Sea View Superior Room zur alleinigen Nutzung. Auf keinen Fall empfehle ich einen Standart Room, ich konnte mir mal einen ansehen. Dunkle muffige (Schimmel) Löcher, nur bewohnbar, wenn dauerhaft ein Entfeuchter läuft. Die Zimmer sind lieblos eingerichtet und haben immer ein zusätzliches Bett, falls man sie für 3 Personen buchen möchte. Mir wäre das Zimmer selbst mit 2 Personen zu eng gewesen. Die Möbel sind sehr in die Jahre gekommen, erfüllen aber ihren Zweck. Positiv war die sehr hochwertige Matratze. Mein Zimmer hatte einen kleinen Balkon, welcher allerdings mit 2 vollkommen unbequemen Sesseln vollgestellt war. Einen der Sessel habe ich gleich entfernt und dafür den winzigen Klapptisch incl. Klappstuhl aufgestellt und hier auf dem Balkon meine Bilder am Rechner sichten zu können – es war dann ein schöner Arbeitsplatz. Die Klimaanlage im Zimmer konnte man sehr fein einstellen, sie lief leise und zuverlässig, wenn man dies möchte. Leider ist keine Zeit die Zimmer, besonders die Bäder, mal richtig zu putzen. Es ist im Bad dicker Algen/ Schimmelbelage im Dusch und Waschbeckenbereich. Doch die Zimmer werden im Akkord vermietet und da ist für eine gründliche Reinigung keine Zeit. Insgesamt ist mir aufgefallen, dass Mängel nur gesehen werden, wenn man ausdrücklich darauf hinweist. Der Garten incl. des Swimmingpools mit den 10 Liegen ist sehr gut gepflegt und ein kleines Paradies. Es gibt tolle große Sonnenschirme, welche man sehr gut verstellen kann – ein Nickerchen im Schatten ist damit garantiert. Leider gibt es für die Liegen keine Auflagen, so dass man etwas hart liegt – klar so Auflagen kosten Geld. Die vielen Stufen im Resort sind die ersten Tage eine kleine Herausforderung, doch man gewöhnt sich schnell daran und nach ein paar Tagen lässt die Anstrengung nach. Was das Essen betrifft möchte ich unbedingt empfehlen keine HP oder gar VP zu buchen. Frühstück, extrem spartanisch und einfallslos, ist im Zimmerpreis enthalten. Ei Highlight sind allerdings die frischen Mangos. Die Kosten für HP und VP sind überteuert und das a la carte Essen ist wesentlich schmackhafter. Ich hatte für mein Essen am Abend ca 13-15€ ausgegeben, HP hätte 19.-€ gekostet. Bei HP darf man sich von einem Buffet bedienen, welches sehr einfach war. Die Cocktails an der Bar sind stark, schmackhaft und vom Preis angemessen. Getaucht wird mit den typischen Booten der Philippinen, nicht meine Liebl

This is a wonderful place for divers, especially if you love macro photography. Accommodation is comfortable and the restaurant food is good. We had a lovely ocean view from our balcony. The real highlight was the diving. The staff did everything possible to make each dive easy and enjoyable. My buddy and I saw the most amazing number and variety of nudibranchs. Mantis shrimps, Frogfish and Pygmy seahorses were just a few of the many marine wonders. Many thanks to our excellent guide whose creature finding skills were legendary.

Per subacquei e fotografi e' una destinazione top. Non essendoci collegamenti via terra e niente nei dintorni si deve passare tutto il tempo in struttura o in mare...si possono fare anche 4 immersioni al giorno...che poi e' quello che voglio....piscina piccola ma carina. Tanto tutti sono a fare immersioni, in piscina non c'era mai nessuno. Non adatta ai pigri visto che son tutti gradini per spostarsi su e giù . La nostra stanza era in sommità con un panorama pazzesco ma questo vuol dire 120 gradini fino alla zona diving e ristorante. Personale cordiale, sicuramente da migliorare il cibo. Ma il soggiorno e le immersioni sono state molto positive. Ci torneremo

We have have had the best stay you could image at Buceo Anilao. The resort is everything a diver / photographer could want. Located at a nice hill the views from the balcony where stunning looking over the ocean. The staff working there are friendly and a real part of the excellent experience. For the divers, there is a camera room for all your camera equipment, nice storage room for the diving gear and the dive masters are very experienced finding the smallest and rarest creatures for you. Special shout-out to Benji who made all of our dives the best!

The Buceo Anilao Resort was highly recommended by our friends and it did not disappoint! It is located about a 2.5 hour drive south of Manila followed by a 5 minute boat ride. We really appreciated the warm welcome and the remote nature of the hotel. We stayed in the deluxe Frogfish room, which was spacious, immaculately clean, featured a very bright, large bathroom with plenty of counter space. We also had a good size balcony overlooking the ocean and enjoyed the nicest sunsets. There is a pool which is well designed and maintained/cleaned daily. The dining area is also impressively clean, comfortable, the staff professional and very friendly. The food was lovely, the portions perfect and the variety great! The hotel has a very nice bar for pre/after dinner cocktails, where we were able to socialize with the owner, David, his family, as well as other guests from around the world. Very nice! The resort is built on a hill, so please NOTE that there are stairs. There is a nice spa on top offering massage etc. Diving was absolutely superb, well organized and safely run. No more than 2-3 divers per dive master. Special thanks to Joy and Jury for taking such good care of us. Water temp was 85*F and almost no current. Special recognition goes to whomever designed the dive locker area, again, it is huge and very well ventilated, so your wetsuits dry fast in between dives. Photographers' have a large camera room with fans for extra comfort. Valet service is much appreciated, we carried nothing except our masks onto the boat. We liked this resort so much that we have already booked it for 2025...and cannot wait to return!! Thank you once again for having us, Maria and Warren

For a family run resort it rivals the bigger, flashier resorts. The resort is cozy and well maintained. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and a/c works great. Spending the evening sitting on the deck outside was the perfect end to the day. Staff is friendly and helpful. There wasn't a single person who I felt didn't want to be there. I cannot say enough about the food. Having multiple food allergies they adjusted the meals to fit my needs without taking anything away from the flavor. I'm glad for the steps back and forth to the room to burn off all those calories. The diving made the trip. The boats are great for small groups. Easy to get on and off, both in the water and at shore. The boat crew is the best I've ever seen. Always helping, either getting your gear on, coming out of the water, or offering drinks and snacks during the surface interval. Teamed with a dive guide who listened to what we wanted to see, found them, plus a lot of things we didn't know we wanted to see, and paced the dive to our needs. Can't thank them enough. If you are looking for a ritzy resort with manicured lawns and flashy bar/dining, this isn't for you. If you want to be treated like they are glad you are there, eat tasty meals and enjoy some of the best diving in the world, stay here. I love to travel and see new things. Sort of a been there, what are the other places like attitude. But with the ease of getting there from Manila, how enjoyable it was to be there and the value for my dollar, this is one of the resorts I would come back to again.

Goed onderhouden resort voor duikers, recent gerenoveerde kamers die voorzien zijn van alle gemakken. Eten is voortreffelijk en de variatie prima. De duikgidsen weten je iedere duik te verrassen met al het moois dat Anilao te bieden heeft: macro-life!

Overall the diving was good the set up was great and made for divers with good boats and effecient staff and well maintained area for tank fills, washing and drying areas and huge camera room and storage. Our guide Joy was very good and eyes like a hawk, I did notice there were never any guide briefings fron any guides and a case of drop in water and dive. They do have made up plans for each dive but never used. Just concentrating on the dive operation it ticks the boxes. Yes, there are lots of steps so you have been warned.. Beach is also an extra point for boats and often a collection point for rubbish with wind direction. Rooms are spacious and clean with open views and a huge shower. Staff are all friendly if you take time to interact with them. Transfers to airport were a breeze. A good pool to swim and relax around. Breakfast is pretty basic though and it could be improved and a cleaning of the dining area and regular washing of table mats might help with the hassle of flies. Ordering food when you have just eaten was always difficult but guess it needs to be defrosted and prepped.. it was ok most the time. Beware of weekends with locals from Manila flock and all standards slip. We were pretty disgusted one night when after a dive a group descended to the dining area in wet swim gear and only a towel and sat down to eat with managent saying nothing.. I guess they pay the bills when overseas guest are not there. We and other couples were not impressed as other resorts would have ensured a certain standard was maintained for all. Our plans changed a few days prior and we stopped diving, we noticed a distinct change from management after that as I guess we were not paying the $$$ Saying that we felt we were under constant observation at the bar with our drinks by management and dive staff who frequent one side of the bar at night. After that we were glad we departed a day early. But these were our views and highlights

We enjoyed a magical dive trip at Buceo Anilao. The resort staff were super friendly and attentive. The delicious food was a mix of Western and local dishes. The dive guides took us to amazing dive sites and pointed out the amazing marine life.
