The Ananyana Beach Resort by SMS Hospitality Reviews

Really enjoy my stay, friendly staff, nice and spacious place, they did a good job implanting the building which allows a lot of green space and beach. Nice fresh food, nice rooms and we had good WiFi. This is a 3 star hotel that feels like a 4 star hotel.

A great place to watch the sunset. The room was quite large but the facilities were sparse, not even a sofa. The waiters were friendly, except for one strong, female employee who had a bad attitude. Getting around wasn't particularly convenient; there were no cars at the door, and it was difficult to get a taxi online. Walking to Belfort would be better. The hotel restaurant was a good option for dining, and the food was delicious. There are many restaurants in the Modara Commercial Plaza in front, and there's also a Filipino restaurant next to Belfort. The environment is beautiful, and the beach is nice. Overall, except for that waiter, everything else matched the price.

It's a charming and quaint place. It's even more charming because it's located right next to Doljo Beach. Someone once described it as a three-star resort that feels like a four-star resort, and I agree. Late check-out is 400 pesos per hour? Don't even dream about it. Even though I was the only guest, they didn't seem to coordinate well.

The hotel is very beautiful, with a beach just outside, and you can also rent the hotel's boat for rowing, which is very suitable for vacation. It is very cost-effective, and there is a five-star hotel next door, sharing the same beach.

The room is very clean and the equipment is working properly. The only problem is that there are too few twin rooms. When we arrived, there were no twin rooms. A family of three can squeeze into a two-meter bed. There is an independent beach, which is shared with the two big hotels next door, Belfort and Modara. The price is less than half, which is great. Snorkeling is difficult. There is a belt of waterweed and sea urchins. The coral is broken at the back. There is a platform of the Siren dive shop next to it. The hotel's food prices are slightly higher, but the taste is okay. The swimming pool is not clean enough. If you don't feel sick of eating, you can go to Modara to eat at a Filipino restaurant. You can also rent a motorcycle and drive yourself. If you want to learn diving, there are two dive shops next door. The Chinese one is Siren.

I had a good night's sleep! It was quiet and nice. The location is a little far from Alona Beach, but it's quiet and there are no Koreans. (250 pesos to Alona by tuk-tuk) The ocean is right in front, so the view is amazing. I was very satisfied with the breakfast menu, which I like, toast + butter + jam. The pool is small, so I used it once. If you want a large pool, you might not be satisfied. If you want a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, you'll be satisfied. The staff are all friendly.

Overall, very cost-effective Advantages: The beach in the morning is beautiful, there is a swimming pool, and the rooms have a Southeast Asian style. It is a five-minute taxi ride from the dive site where we study. Disadvantages: The road into the hotel is relatively narrow and it is not easy to make a tutu call by yourself. Generally, it takes 5-15 minutes to ask the hotel to help you make a tutu call.

The location is far away from Alona, ​​but Dolho Beach right in front of the hotel is very pretty, and it is closer to Hinagdanan Cave and Napaling Tour! I don't know if the overall facilities or service are 3 stars, but everyone is friendly and listens to all my requests. Still, it's clean overall and the breakfast is delicious, so be sure to add it! It's a resort with a lot of bushes right behind it, so there are a few bugs, and it doesn't feel like privacy is guaranteed. (There is no separate deposit, and I paid the additional fee used at check-out, but only cash, not card)

Next to the beach, next to the Siren Dive Shop, the restaurant environment is very good, but there are a lot of ants. The room will be cleaned only if you ask for it. The beach here is a little dirty... Generally speaking, it's okay.

Stayed for 6 days. Very good

靠近海邊，還不錯，很休閑。游泳池沒水，酒店餐廳做飯有點慢

Pros: - The room was lovely and also clean - The staff on site were lovely and attentive (serving water when we were talking outside etc) Cons: - Our hotel door lock was broken so we couldn’t secure our door - The pictures on all booking platforms do not reflect the current hotel at all - Pool: Building under construction in front of pool, drilling, hammering, sawing all day - Dining area: Chipboard around posts, different basic seats, no linen curtains - Cabanas on sea do not exist, cabanas on hotel grounds are destroyed and sitting in a wooden pile - ‘Wellness area’ does not exist, instead an empty building with broken glass/ satellite dish. - Different furniture (fold up white plastic picnic tables seen etc) We paid an excruciating amount of money to stay based on the photos (PHP25,000 or £335 for 4 nights), the reality is very different and we did not end up staying here. The staff acknowledged that the photos did not reflect the hotel at all because of the construction works and said they were waiting for the work to finish (which appear months/ years away) before uploading new photos, which means upcoming visitors will have no idea as the hotel does not give you any warning about this. Despite this all staff on site had no authority to discuss the situation and the manager ‘Mildred’ was ‘uncountable’ (and has remained uncountable for the last 3 weeks as we try to reach out by telephone). Instead the ‘uncountable’ manager told the staff to give us a 20% refund despite us not staying because of all the above discrepancies/ noise from construction.

Ananyana is a gem. If you like a quiet and serene atmosphere, then this is an excellent place to stay in Panglao. They might not have a 5-star rating in amenities, but I find our room and bathroom clean. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. If you like to party and shop, Bellevue and Moadto Strip Mall is only a 15-20 min. stroll away along the beach. I personally like going to Bellevue and Moadto Mall for drinks or dinner and then go back to my quiet and serene place away from the hustle and bustle of a touristy area.

This place is super amazing. Beautiful beach, beautiful rooms and amazing, super friendly staff. I would personally also recommend this location over Alona Beach, if you want to avoid the tourist traps.
