Staff, facilities and location

Dogs are all over the resort

The view from this property is truly spectacular! There was always an amazing breeze. The restaurant, the service, and the vibe was very relaxing.

Everything was great, even the menu had many options

Hot tub needed repair

The view and staff were amazing. Everyone made sure my stay was very enjoyable. And the food was delicious as well.

Great resort, everything was perfect. Beautiful peaceful location, staff are friendly and helpful, good food with a wide selection of Filipino and German style meals and drinks. Staff arranged a snorkeling tour for us and had many local recommendations. I would love to stay again in the future.

Peaceful setting. Good for relaxation. Quiet area. Tastefully designed landscape.

I found it bizarre that we were charged like 35AUD for a modest amount of laundry (air dried). They charged us for 4 loads which made little sense. We pushed back but they didn’t budge. Very bizarre and not a nice way to leave. I don’t understand it.

It felt like home, the property was quiet, well looked after and we were treated like family. The staff were exceptional and referred to us by name. Thank you J&R and staff.

Not a negative for us as the location suited us perfectly but it’s about 2.5 hours from the airport.

Spacious and clean rooms, very comfortable. Staff delightful and helped out with anything that we needed. Good location close to great beach, though own transport needed to go any further afield.

Super spacious room, great on site restaurant and very helpful staff who arranged transport to the places I wanted to visit. Lovely location with beautiful walks along the beach with the softest sand imaginable.

Absolutely fantastic…..This is like no where I stayed during my 3 months in PH. - run by a German chap and his wife and it shows. - great design everywhere - huge rooms - very clean, high standard - excellent food - views to die for - beach is amazing - staff and very very good - laundry my shirt very quickly - cocktails were better than London/new York. I stayed at at more than 20 places in the PH when visiting. This place was hands down the best. Would recommend this without hesitation. Better than many global hotel chains.

If you are old or struggle with mobility probably not for you as it is built in a hill/cliff. Gives dramatic views, and while I saw the children running in the steps in no time, I think I would avoid if I was old and worried about the steps…

We absolutely adored our stay! The family room was spacious and cozy, with nice view. The terrace was perfect for enjoying morning coffee while soaking in the serene atmosphere. The food was a true delight—fresh, flavorful, and memorable. And the beach walks? Simply magical. This is the perfect destination to unwind, recharge, and create unforgettable memories.

Jilo and Ralf have a great place. Perfect location on the beach. Nice swimming pool. They have a really nice Trident boat. We went 2 separate days snorkeling on that boat. The reef and turtle area in Anda is world class. They offer a great trip. The resort is spotless, quiet, and just a nice energy. The room is great. Has all the right components. Hot shower, cold AC, in room internet, nice comfortable king size bed, spacious outside deck, free parking. The staff is wonderful. Each person is very nice. The owners are very nice. The food is good here. Both dinner and breakfast are great. Many selections. At night we had German food. We don't get that in the States. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you.

Nothing

Nothing

No service at all, housekeeping and managers

The standard of the overall service was exceptional! The meny is for sure big enough and food was delicious and they served all 5 of us with different dishes all at same time which is not very usual in Philippines! Impressing that they also giving us a welcome drink at arrival. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Nice breakfast alternatives as well.

Maybe they cpould extend the dinner serving at bit longer than 1930, but we never had any issue with that to be honest, since we had both our daughter and grandparenst with us.

Fabulous resort. Super helpful lovely staff. Special thanks to Daphne for helping me with transport and all my queries. Set right on a beautiful stretch of powder white sandy beach great to walk along especially when the tide was out. Great breakfasts and dinners. Immaculate rooms and grounds. A short ride into Anda town which the resort can arrange or hire a motorbike.

Nothing, everything was great.

Super nice staff and owner, very welcoming and accomplished! Service minded and very professional. Great location- a more reclusive and quiet. Very nice rooms. Restaurant with a large selection of different food options.

Everything - we just loved our stay there, and Ralf has been very supportive in providing information. They have a really good kitchen and a beautiful view from the terrace on the sea. It is quiet and intimate, and we will definitely come back. Many thanks also to Daphne and the great service she provided. We decided to go diving with the French dive shop in the hotel next door - out of convenience and only 5 minutes by the beach - and Hubert provides reasonable pricing!

Stunning pool overlooking the beach. Good to excellent restaurant. Beautiful grounds. Very quiet calm beach to explore (not swim). Excellent massages. Well appointed rooms.

Not really helpful with organising tours kayaking etc. No vibe at the restaurant (no music, no one really talks to each other). Isolated. Beach is good for looking at wildlife but not for swimming. Owner is rude as mentioned by others, rest of staff were nice. Overall this place is great if you want to get away from it all and just stay and eat at the resort and do nothing. But not my sort of place. Wouldn't suggest bringing kids either, we felt like we were disturbing the peace the whole time and no kids life jackets for activities.

everything about the place was spotless its set overlooking the white beach in immaculate gardens with a lovely sounding waterfall with well stocked fish ponds. Jello and Ralf cant help enough with everything i needed and as for the staff, fantastic i would join them on saturday for a great night out in town. cant praise J&R enough. Thanks to all the staff for everything especially ......... 😘

nothing to dislike

the location and establishment were fantastic, absolutely beautiful!. Jilo & Ralph are a lovely couple, full of helpful advise and always up for a conversation if one desires. the staff were fantastic and catered to every whim, a shout out to Daphnie for her attendance to the family and I. the in-house food was delicious, best pork I had during my time on Bohol!.
