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.
