The resort is pretty small, only 12 rooms in all, and there were over 30 of us in all so we were able to turn the entire resort into a "private getaway" of sorts. The resort is good looking, but ultimately too expensive for my personal taste. Some relatives say that Panglao Nature Island Resort is a better deal overall, and we actually tried to book there first but they weren't able to accommodate our party. Ananyana's rooms had these irritating huge sliding doors that were supposed to add to the "native" appeal of the resort, but simply succeeded in making it more difficult for us to enter and exit our rooms. What was nice was the fact that they didn't have any TVs in their rooms as this "forced" us to spend most of our time in the public areas --- lounging by the the beach, swinging in a hammock, trying our hands (badly) at some beach volleyball, taking a dip in their modestly sized swimming pool, eating in their overpriced but good restaurant, or checking our emails in our laptops in the beachfront lounge fronting the white sand beach. The water was so calm (not a single wave breaking the shore, and nary a breeze blowing our way) it was almost eerie. It was fun to have the whole place to ourselves ... a cousin likened it to the experience of staying in someone's really big beach house for the weekend (of course we don't know anyone with a beach house as nice and big, which is why we were in a resort in Bohol). We were feeling so at home that by the second night a lot of us took to having dinner in our pajamas. |

Mr. Florian Roesch from Germany wrote at 2008-10-22 13:38:57 Dear Ananyana Team, The ten days we could spend here were over way to fast! From the moment we were picked up at Cebu airport we could really relax all the time. Now knowint what to expect by the state of the road to the resort, all our expectations were exceeded. Your fantastic hideaway with the great beach, the delicious food and all the friendliness we experienced is a piece of paradise. Thank you to -- - the crew for their friendliness and great spirit - to Greg, our dive guide, for showing us some of the most amazing dive spots on Earth. And not to forget the friendly crew of the banca. - to Federico for making the stressful job of a resort manager took so easy. By the way, we'll try out the food place you suggested in Singapore. We hope we can come back sometime! Minoka and Florian P.S. Nice cats and dogs ... |
