Fabulous resort. The staff were friendly, helped organise transfer there from the port, scooter rental and were generally lovely. The restaurant has excellent food. The beach view cabana was 100% worth it - felt so luxurious and was quiet and comfortable. Loved our stay here.

This hotel completely exceeded our expectations. The location is unbeatable — right on a beautiful stretch of beach with crystal-clear water and great for spotting turtles (we saw 4 whilst kayaking). The rooms were spotless and really comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best time. Every meal we had was delicious. It’s the kind of place that makes you instantly feel on holiday — peaceful, welcoming, and unforgettable. We honestly didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended!

Thus hotel is exceptional in all the right ways. The staff are all super friendly, Peter is an active owner who looks after his guests, and the grounds and position are all wonderful. As other guests have mentioned, the beach is not deep, and is mainly covered in high tide, but in low tide, you can walk to along it to the town, or the diving cave pool. The food is of a very high quality. I cannot rate this Hotel and the whole experience highly enough. The diving instructor, Hubert, and his wife Delphine, who is the yoga teacher, add hugely to the overall experience. It’s unlikely we will go back given it is an 18 hour trip from home, but if we are ever able to, we wouldn’t hesitate. Do visit.

I have rarely seen a legitimately 10/10 hotel/resort but this is very much it, if you’re looking for what it offers. First off, this place is remote and some of the quietest I encountered in the Philippines (apart from the gecko sounds, I must add). It has amazing rooms, which are stylish, spacious and modern in their own way. It has its own restaurant where the food is overwhelmingly good. Some dishes are even excellent and definitely make up for the in part higher prices compared to other areas in the Philippines. The private beach access is convenient and adds to the relaxing and unbothered experience. If you’re up for it, you’ll experience a vast amount of sea wildlife right there only a couple of hundred meters in. In addition you’ll be able to relax on the premise by laying next to the well maintained pool or at other spots along the preserved plantation area. But what really stood out was the professionalism, friendliness and overall excellence of the staff. Everyday they not only tended to all our needs but sometimes even anticipated our desires it felt like, while still giving enough space. Jiar (not sure of the spelling) really stood out in providing everyday help and interesting snorkeling insights. He even made sure the kayakers are safe during their expedition. I hope that Peter, the owner, acknowledges that and understands the importance of that. In the end, the staff is really what stood out and the thing to come back for.

Villa spacieuse avec douche extérieure (pour la villa supérieure avec vue). Nous avons grandement apprécié notre séjour.

Tranquil Get-away

If you're looking for tranquility, this is it!! An amazing hotel. Service is excellent, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Water heater and air conditioning work excellent. The staff goes above and beyond. The Old Plantation restaurant at the hotel is excellent. Fresh ingredients and gorgeous scenery.

We flew into TAG and rented a car since the hotel is 2.5hrs away, but it is worth every minute. If you desire busy and bustling beach board walk this might not be for you, since its wonderfully secluded. Also, if you're wanting a full beach swimming experience, this one might not be for you. The beach is shallow which is common for the majority of the Bohol coastline. The hotel handsomely compensates for its virgin beaches with a beautiful infinity pool.

The hotel only accomodates a handfull of guests, which adds to the tranquil environment.

The only thing that suffered was the internet signal (data and wifi) in our room, but both can be accessed in the restaurant.

Would recommend this to all my family and friends

I have never rated a facility a 10....until now. The staff was far past excellent, there are no words for the level of service given to us. If you cannot totally relax here, you are most likely clinically dead. It is a 2-hour drive from the airport, and the beach is wonderful for us, but many most likely would not call this a beach. We loved the walk to the local town beach at low tide, great walk and well worth the trip, with many dining options available there. Our chef was world class, I am still in shock that she was not trained in some high-class culinary institute, but in fact is a local Filipina chef. Every different item we had were fabulous. the grounds were fantastic and recommend climbing the on-site tower for a breathtaking view. I cannot compliment this resort any higher, if you know how to chill...this is your place, period!

My wife is a Filipina so every few years we travel to the Philippines to visit her family in Luzon then to another island for vacation. Despite high reviews for previous resort selections, my wife and I have been disappointed with our selections for various reasons. Sometimes the resort does not meet our expectations and sometimes it’s the resort area. We were delighted to find that Island View exceeded our expectations. In fact, my wife had tears in her eyes when we left because she enjoyed her stay so much she didn’t want to leave. Me too.

The resort and Anda Province, where it is located, are beautiful. Combine that with first rate service and delicious meal options, we fell in love with the place. It’s apparent by the actions of the owner and staff that they want your stay to be special from the moment you arrive until you leave. We were greeted by the owner and about 1/2 dozen staff when we arrived and similarly bid farewell when we departed.

The staff are professional in that they are always dressed in clean pressed uniforms, polite, friendly, and helpful. The grounds are covered with palm trees, flowering plants, and ponds like the dragonfly pond. The rooms and restaurant face the sea and the view is spectacular. You can watch the sun rise over the sea during breakfast and set during dinner. We stayed in the The staff arranged for us to take The overall vibe of this resort is of peace an

Well where do I start - second time in Bohol. But this time I didn’t want to stay In panglao. We decided on island view because of the lovely reviews I read.

I’ve been to 57 countries and have stayed in hundreds of hotels. So This could be informative if you’re looking to book this hotel.

The property is immaculate. The rooms are very clean, house keeping cleans rooms daily. The pool is perfect!! It actually makes the hotel worth while. The beach is great if your looking to relax or snorkel or dive. The hotel has its own dive shop which is also immaculate, and professional. 2000 peso per dive (40 usd) not a bad deal.

The owner greeted us as soon as we walked in, he’s on the premises 24/7 which is nice because you can see he cares about his business.

If you’re a wine lover this is the place to be. Huge selection of wines. The restaurant is pretty good. As a chef myself you don’t expect much but the food was a 3 out of 5. I think the cooks need to learn how to season properly because everything was very bland.

The best sunset in all of Bohol. I’m convinced there’s no better sunset on the island then from this property. And probably one of the best in the Philippines. If you’re a sucker for a good sunrise and sunset because you get both here I would stay here.

The downside is the WiFi- very finicky on and off.
Downside is you are two hours away from Panglao and there is nothing to do in Anda.

The hotel location is superb, fronting onto a coral lagoon, with beautiful views from rooms, dining and bar areas. The view of the sunset was spectacular. The gardens are beautiful and a real surprise, with a lot of bird life. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The menu is well selected and delicious, with a good range of choices, including vegan, and fresh, locally caught, fish is an outstanding feature. Our room was very clean and comfortable, but was showing a few signs of wear and could do with some attention to detail to improve the standard to match the price tag.

Best place for relaxation

This place is a paradise. Probably the best hotel we have been in the Philippines. We only stayed for 4 days but we wish we could have stayed much longer.
The location is perfect, on a small, white sandy beach - that we basically had it all for ourselves. Sunsets are amazing.The staff is lovely, the food at the restaurant is delicious.
The hotel is quite and discrete, so it's great if you are looking for a place to relax.
Rooms are big, nicely decorated and clean. They have a patio and deck chairs in a lovely tropical garden.
We truly loved this place and couldn't recommend this enough.
They also organised snorkelling for us and that was great.
This place was a highlight of our trip and we'd love to come back one day! I'd recommend this to anyone travelling to the Philippines.
t's a hidden gem and we hope it will stay like this :)

Would have loved to stay longer!

Had an excellent few days at this resort in March. Service was extremely friendly at all levels, and made us feel welcome and well cared for, accommodating every request with a smile. Due to the small size and somewhat secluded location, the resort feels very private and quiet. Rooms are spacious and light, all with a private balcony. As seems to be the case in many hotels in the Philippines, bathroom amenities are limited. The restaurant is very reasonably priced and offers a wide range of delicious Filipino and international dishes. There's also an option of BBQ grilled seafood. The Beach isn't very wide (at high tide), but has nice white sand and offers some opportunities for easy snorkeling (Underwater shoes are recommended b/c of sea urchins). It's also possible to walk along the coast to Anda city at low tide. We also rented a scooter (600P/day) to explore the nearby area (rice terraces, cave pools etc).
Highly recommended for anybody seeking a more quiet resort experience.

Nice and quiet beachside hotel

Island View is a very pleasant seaside hotel on the beautiful and quiet Anda beach. Rooms are of a decent size and have all the requisite facilities expected of this standard of hotel, although some of the furniture and construction are not of the highest quality. Hotel location is great if you are looking for peace - you step out from the hotel grounds straight onto the beach. Note, the hotel is quite isolated (apart from a few similar resort hotels nearby) down a bumpy track from the main road and around 3 km from the nearest small town. If you don't fancy the beach, the hotel has a large swimming pool.

Staff were universally excellent, always efficient, willing to help and extremely friendly. Owner/manager was generally present to ensure all was running smoothly. Breakfasts were good, dinners rather less so, a common failing in the Philippines!

Overall, Island View is a great option if you want to experience the peace and beauty of Anda.

Tranquil hideaway with beauty

Checked in and experienced that \"wow\" feeling. This place is seriously close to paradise. Delightful tropical gardens, a huge pool, and most importantly, the white sand beach right there - a couple of steps away.

And it's quiet! - such a relief to find after the noise, traffic and grime of my previous weeks travel in the Philippines.

There's lots of nature to see here - birdlife, trees, coral reef for snorkling or paddling, nice walk along the beach to Anda. It also feels really safe - a friendly neighborhood.

I'm not really a bar person but I liked the relaxed and attractive garden bar that guests seemed to eat dinner in, as as an alternative to the restaurant in main building. Nights are super quiet here, which was really appreciated - I could catch up on some sleep.
