Anda Pearl Premier Resort

We spent five nights and six days here and had a wonderful time. It’s a small, quiet resort with only 21 rooms. When we stayed, just 9 rooms were occupied, so we sometimes had the pool to ourselves. I’d happily come back and recommend the place. The private beach was very clean and full of little fish. There was some seaweed, but that didn’t bother me, it seemed like a sign of a healthy beach. The rooms were clean and nice, especially the ocean view suites. The infinity pool has several depths, so it works for everyone. The restaurant has lots of food choices at good prices. Our favorites were the veggie soup, sweet and sour fish, fried chicken and grilled fish. Breakfast was okay, with a nice variety each day, but it could be better. Sometimes the fruit ran out and wasn’t replenished. Fresh fruit or mango juice would’ve been better than the sugary drinks. The road in is rough. Just go slowly and you’ll be fine. If renting a car, I’d recommend an SUV over a sedan.

The town itself didn’t have much to see or do, but the beaches were really beautiful. If Panglao feels too crowded, go to Anda and stay at Anda Pearl Premier Beach Resort. I highly recommend it. We loved the spacious room, cool air-conditioning, good heating and water pressure, and the large pools with different depths. The white-sand beach was great, and the food was delicious. The staff were excellent, especially Dolly, who was understanding when my companions asked to check out a day early instead of completing our planned three-night stay.

The road to the hotel turned out to be decent, not as rough as we expected. The Wi-Fi was good and stable. They brought bottled water daily and provided 3-in-1 coffee. Our room was spacious and looked out on what seemed like a private garden. The bathroom was big, water pressure was strong, and thick towels were provided. They also supplied dental kits, shampoo and soap, though I found the shampoo too drying, so you may want your own. There were no cotton buds or pads, and no room slippers either. The staff are nice, the place is relaxing and secluded, with a private beach and beautiful infinity pool. The restaurant food was really good, but it only stays open until 9pm, with last orders at 8pm. We’d love to come back.

The pool and beach were fantastic, and the view is lovely. Staff are kind and friendly, rooms are clean and have good amenities, and breakfast was nice. The restaurant serves good food, too. It can get busy and crowded around the restaurant, pool and beach during the daytime. They also offer day use, which makes it a nice spot for a family picnic. A couple of things in the room could be better: the TV cable wasn’t accessible, and the bathroom ventilator was a little noisy. Still, it’s a nice place to stay if you’re spending time in Anda.
