Ananda Resort

Stayed here for a couple of days and it was great. Just a couple of minutes walk from Dumaluan beach and a few minutes drive from Alona beach. Place wasn’t that packed when we stayed there (maybe because of the typhoon) but it was great. We rented a couple of scooters from them as well to drive around the island and it was very convenient rather than renting them from outside. I would recommend this place if you wanna stay away from all the crowd. Breakfast was good and super friendly staff. Would stay here again in the future if given the chance 👍🏽👍🏽

This resort is like a 10 minutes drive from Alona beach, but man what a difference. Alona beach has lost all its charms and turned into a chaotic mass tourist destination. I cannot believe authorities let this happen. thousands of boats in the ocean, oil rubbish, vendors everywhere. However Ananda is close to Dumaluan beach which is still very nice and much more quiet. The resort is very reasonable priced with nice spacious rooms, they also have budget rooms, real value for money. However because its more remote you do need transport to go around, can rent scooter at Nana's scooter and they will deliver to you hotel, cost 300 Pesos per day. Can also rent at the resort for 500 pesos per day. Staff in Ananda also very friendly, nice pool, nice room, nice breakfast and close to the beach. If you dont want to drive of course you can order a taxi, also if you take a walk on the beach you will find great restaurants with live music all in walking distance.

Stayed here for 3N4D with my family. Overall Rating (5 star rating): Staff (4): They are understaffed, but we appreciated their service anyway. Food (3): A bit pricey, and somehow it tasted bland. The chicken halang-halang lacked coconut milk. Price (3): The food was a bit pricey; for the room, no idea for the price since I've booked with a travel agency. Room (3): A bit old, but quite clean. For the bedsheets, and towels, both were stained already. One tissue paper is provided per day (hoping for a two instead). Place/Location (3): 3 to 5 mins walk going to the beach, but the way to and fro was rough since you have to walk upwards and downwards. The place is 15 to 20 mins away from the airport. Overall Satisfaction (3.2): somewhat satisfied/somehow dissatisfied

new name of the resort is ANANDA RESORT. stayed here for 2 nights and i can say its a good resort to stay in if u want to be away from the touristy area of alona. got a deluxe room in the 2nd flr of new bldg overlooking the pool. room is clean, spacious with a balcony. with provided toiletries (shampoo, soap) and towels. no toothbrush and toothpaste so bring your own. with ref and kettle for hot water in room but no cups (u can get one at the kitchen area). water dispenser also near the kitchen area. if theres one thing that can be improved its the thin walls. u can hear outside noise especially when raining. since ceiling is cone shaped, noises from the rain seems to echo inside the room which is bothersome. pero pag di naman umuulan tahimik naman. pool is heated so night swimming is possible. very near libaong beach 2-3mins walk but the road may be challenging for those that have a hard time in inclined roads. they serve breakfast but need to order the day before, other mealtimes they serve from 10am to 6pm but limited selection. you can order delivery (jollibee/mcdo) though did not try it. for 1 or 2 nights this is a good choice.
