Porto Novo Anilao Dive And Leisure Resort

This dive resort welcomes its guests like family with great warmth. For my first trip to the Philippines, this was a perfect first impression. I came specifically to spend a few days doing some scuba boat dives on the reef. Each dive was incredible, as this was the most colorful and vibrant reef I'd ever been to. There were countless fish, and the dive master was very knowledgeable and professional around expertise of the area and safety procedures. The staff made sure I was very comfortable, and the food each night was excellent (I got hooked on their famous pork ribs). My room was perfectly clean and recently remodeled, boasting impressive views of the ocean. The shuttle from the airport was incredibly convenient, and I was able to connect with my driver at Manila Airport very quickly. This is a great spot for anyone wishing to stay on Luzon and go diving very close to Manila. I'd recommend this spot for families, couples looking for a romantic getaway, and divers such as myself looking to enjoy the beauty of Earth's oceans. I can't wait to return, and am happy to have made many friendships in the Philippines. My favorite thing perhaps was that for our day trips on the boat out to dive sites, we'd bring a "pack lunch" of local Filipino food to satiate our hunger between dives. Also they take incredible underwater video of your dives, which I was very grateful for, as I was focusing more on my diving skill-building and not as much on camera work.

If you are looking for a perfect place to get away from the City, Porto Novo Anilao is I think one of the best place. The resort is new with very clean facilities. It is loaded with different water activities that you can enjoy during your stay. Went to this place twice already and it never failed to deliver the best customer service. The resort is owned by a local. The food is great and price is reasonable. They offer food service if you want to have lunch in one of the nearby island. Although the room that I booked (Captain's Suite) needs additional air conditioning unit, the rest of the rooms are well equipped with fresh linens and towels. (Hair Dryer available upon request). Kudos and Thanks to all the staff and the very accommodating Manager - JM. Will definitely come back soon.

A wonderful clean resort with friendly, helpful, professional staff. Owners were friendly and kind. We had such a nice time snorkeling, kayaking and swimming. Food was exceptionally good. Sunsets and sunrises were amazing. Thank you for the lovely memories.
