The Ananyana Beach Resort by SMS Hospitality

Great service very personalized

I’ve booked Hotel Ananyana Resort and Spa for 3 nights for a trip with my daughter in the end of March. I was comparing with other hotels and although price was higher (approx USD 182/tax included) I was very well impressed by their photos on hotels.com and I’ve decided to book. Unfortunately we were very disappointed...photos are misleading. Price was already high and there was no breakfast included. There is no reception and after 10pm (when restaurant is closed) you feel like you are abandoned there. No one to supervise the rooms and since we were one of the few guests there, it was quite an uncomfortable feeling in the evening/night there. The hotel is far from the centre so there is not much around the area which made it even more secluded. The staff and manager Ruella were really nice and that made our stay better, but I could not wait to leave to the next destination so I could feel safer. Ananyana Hotel should not be advertising as a "Resort and Spa" because they are not...or maybe they were in the past.

Rip off, clearly not worse it ! Beach is not maintained, resort is not maintained, rooms are ok inside bit very dark, wish i could put a pics of their pan con tomate for you to have an idea ! And not mentionning that anyway only 25% of the menu is available. Don’t waste your time and money there, much better places are around the corner ! Would pay 40 / 50 box for it, don’t deserve more.

They could improve the lighting inside the room & put a shower curtain in the shower area so the rest of the area around do not get too wet.

The resort property was nice and staff very friendly and helpful. The beach wasnt clean and much seaweed and garbage had washed ashore. After prompting staff a crew was assigned to clean but after 6 days still wasnt totalky ckeaned . The beach would have been beautiful if cleaned. Also no wifi in rooms no tvs in room. When typhoon came and confined to rooms there was nothing to do. Watersports on property limited. Price was expensive for what offered. Food was good but expensive. Only slightly less than very nice resort next door.

Good value for money. Staff were excellent. Place wonderfully designed. Beach is underwhelming. Parts of resort are aged. Restaurant is fantastic.

Ananyana Resort is a great place if you want to relax and escape the busy life. The place is so quiet and you can hear and feel the breeze of the air. My 8-month old son had a good afternoon nap as we had him sleep in his stroller facing the beach as he feels the wind embracing him all throughout his sleep. It's a small resort compared to the other resorts in Panglao but it's well-maintained. The furniture go well together. I love how they place their chairs in the whole resort where you can lounge. The staff is very accommodating. They were very attentive to our needs and they gladly set-up a dining table for us whenever we request for a set-up near the beach. What's great about dining in Ananyana is the food. I love how the present it and it tastes really good. I dont usually write a review but because my family really had a great time in Ananyana, I feel that the need to know how lovely the place is. It's just far from Alona but if you're looking for some relaxation, you really dont need to go out. Will definitely go back to Ananyana on our next visit to Bohol.

I was able to book at Ananyana and stayed there for a very privet 5 day stay. The hotel staff took good care for us arranging transportation to Aluna beach and to town. The meals we ate at the hotel were prepaired by cooks and were very nice. We had a nice stay.

Absolutely great resort with a very dedicated staff. Very serene location and the resort was very well maintained. It is not a noisy place like many of the bigger resorts. The chefs did everything possible to accommodate special requests for vegetarian meals. They helped with the reservations for scuba diving or sightseeing. If you are planning to go there to unwind and destress this is the place. Unlike Alona beach the Doljo beach is not noisy and busy. You can get a 10 min car ride to Alona beach in case you care to visit the seaside bars and restaurants. The lawns and pool are very well kept and the atmosphere is very exclusive and calming. Would go there again for sure. Panglao island is very beautiful and a hidden gem. Diving at Balicasag island is spectacular.

The view was awesome - good place to take mind out of things.
