Guindulman Bay Tourist Inn is a small, family-run business in Barangay Cabantian. The Inn is off the main road, about 60m from the shore line, which is rugged and interesting - ideal for beach combing. There are also some lovely, quiet, sandy stretches perfect for sun bathing, swimming or snorkeling. We are situated at the bottom of a gentle range of foot hills that lead to Sagungan Mountain. If you like an easy hill walk, you will not disappointed by the views and scenery which are quite spectacular. We can also arrange Diving and Diving Lessons, Island Tours and Trips to local beauty spots.

Many times, we want beach-front accommodation only to find out that other amenities are lacking thus reducing our hotel staying experience. This hotel is quite the opposite. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised with various features and the whole guest experience. You dont need to believe me, just fill in the preferences when you're booking a place in the same area/price class and read the reviews so you can choose for yourself.

I guarantee you won’t find nicer hotel owners than Derick and Anne. They are by far the most welcoming, funny and helpful people we have come across. They helped us rent a moped, gave us maps and local information and generally amazing people. The food at the hotel is out of this world. From struggling to find decent food in the Philippines , we then were struggling with how much food we could consume. Anne is the chef and wow is she good! The rooms are beautiful and spacious and by far the cleanest we’ve come across in the Philippines. The WiFi is great and there is a tv with lots of English channels and the air con is an extra if need be. Extremely reasonably priced for a couple. We had a deluxe room and we didn’t want to leave ! Thank you for making our time here amazing!

We stayed for three nights and loved it so much! It's such a beautiful building offering beautiful rooms and wonderful service. The suite was absolutely amazing, very large and had a comfortable bed and a very nice tub on the balcony. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was absolutely great and the fruit shakes were the best. The property has an amazing garden and breathtaking views. They are also building a pool which should be ready sometime soon. Anne and Derek were very lovely and helped with transportation, advice on the local area etc. It was great to spend the New Years Eve with them and share some good stories.
An only minor complaint would be regarding the noise level around Christmas time as it sounded like the whole island was partying every night.
The location is very nice, off the beaten path yet close enough to nearby attractions. There are a few beaches a scooter ride away.

What a fantastic Inn very comfortable, quiet just the sounds of the birds, great hosts, food and bar. I spent a night here then Anda but ended up coming back as it’s better than places in Anda and only a 15 minute ride away. A great base to visit Caijay area with lovely rice terraces, waterfall and cold springs. Great little beaches and cave pools in Anda and fantastic overlooking views from just up the road from the Inn. I can’t wait for my next visit. Hope you enjoy my photos

We spent a wonderful week with Anne & Derek in their lovely Tourist Inn in one of the best regions of Bohol. Even though the Tourist Inn is a bit of work in progress - with for example the pool are being added soon - we have almost nothing that we'd wanted to have differently.
Transport: The tourist Inn is located in Guindulman Bay, reasonably close to Anda with its beautiful beaches. It takes about 2hrs with the local bus (120 pesos) from Tagbilaran to get to the Tourist Inn, but since that can be quite an adventure at busy times, I'd advice you to either get a Taxi or (which is even better) have a rental car with which you can go around to explore the island.
Location: Guindulman Bay and Anda are parts of Bohol that has been spared from excessive tourism. It is popular among Filipinos during the holiday season, but apart from that only has a couple of other resorts along the beautiful white beaches of Anda. From the Tourist Inn, Anda's beaches can be reached within an hour by trike (the filipino equivalent of a tuc-tuc) or more conveniently by your own vehicle. Derek also rents out his motorcycle for those that know how to drive one. Other sides that are to be discovered in this area of Bohol are numerous springs, caves, and waterfalls in the nearby hills/mountains, the beautiful coral reefs of Guindulman Bay (for those who like to dive or snorkel) and the chocolate hills (which are best approached on the way back to Tagbilaran)
House: The house is by far the most beautiful one I have seen during my stay in the Philippines and was build with a great attention to details. It is located on a slope facing the sea which leads to a lovely sea breeze in the evening. The rooms are specious, well equipped in very clean. The two bigger ones both have a balcony with garden and partly sea view.
Bar: The bar that is located in the garden and the place where we spent most of hour evenings. It is neither a place of excessive drinking nor loud music and party. It is rather a calm place where one can relax from the daytime activities, have a chat with Derek (who always has a story to tell), grab a drink, eat dinner, or just simply read a book.
Service: The service throughout our stay was great. The whole team, including Derek, Anne, and the two local employees are incredibly friendly and attentive.
Overall, I can warmly recommend this place to anyone in search for a little peace and quite. And one last advice: You'll enjoy it most if you see yourself as a guest, rather than a customer.

LOCATION:
We stayed for three nights and wished we had planned more time for this place. Our plan was to stay at Anda, somewhere directly at the beach, but most hotels were already fully booked. This is how we found Derek and Ann‘s beautiful tourist inn.
Looking back it was the best decision to stay in Guindulman instead of at Anda beach. It is a great location to explore the island by motorbike. You can do the chocolate hills trip, go to Anda or check out the waterfalls in the area.
By foot you can walk up the path behind the tourist inn for 20minutes and can take in the scenic view of the mountains which we actually enjoyed more than the view in the chocolate hills. Mainly because you have the place all to yourselves.
There is also a small beach within walking distance but it wasn’t really nice. We didn’t mind to ride our scooter to nearby Anda for our days at the beach.
We also checked out some resorts and the public anda beach and think we would have regretted staying there, because it’s extremely crowded and commercialized.
THE PLACE:
It is as beautiful as the pictures and even more impressive when you hear that everything has been made by hand and was designed by the hosts. Our favorite was the bar area where all guests relax after their day out, share their stories.
FOOD:
It was the best place on the whole island to get food so we always made sure to be back in time for dinner. After trying several Filipino as well as English dishes the phrase „delicious as usual“ was established... :D
THE HOSTS:
Derek and Ann were all around perfect hosts! They went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. It was fun listening to Derek‘s future projects for the place while having a beer and they gave us lots of information about what to do and how to do it.
All around it was a 10/10 stay and I would definitely recommend it!

We would like to say a big thank you to Derek and his wife for being very kind and helpful.
We have heard a lot of good things from the locals in Anda about Guindulman Bay Tourist Inn and in result we have visited Delboy’s Bar twice during our trip. The place has a beautiful garden which was designed by hosts and is being constantly maintained by Derek. Bar is located about 100 meters from the main road but far enough to enjoy quiet and peaceful surroundings.
They are very friendly, enthusiastic and easy going people. They were always trying to make us fell special and even gave us a little tour around their property. I must admit some of the Derek’s ideas about decor are great and unique but no spoilers here :) .
We will definitely visit them again when we come next time to Philippines.

Me and my friend stayed here for three nights and we absolutely love the place and the owners. They were so hospitable and friendly and telling us good tips about the places. Anne is also super good cook. In the beginning we thought that we will eat in different places but eventually we ate every night in this place.
The whole place was so cozy and our room was great and very clean also.
The location of the place is super, it's next to the main road, where you can easily grab a bus where ever you want to go. You can go walking into the mountains surrounding the area, the view up there is breath taking.
If you're ever visiting in Bohol, you should definitely book few nights in here!
Thank you for everything, we love the place and if we ever come back in the Philippines, we will certainly return in this place!

We had a wonderful stay with Derek and Ann for three nights, it was definitely our favourite accommodations in our three weeks journey in Philippines.
The location was perfect for us, who weren't intrested in partying in Alona beach. Totally diffent from that but definitely in a positive way. We loved to walk/hike up the hills, there were some mountais with terrific views to everywhere above. So beautiful and free!
Derek and Ann were both so kind, chatty and informative for us and really made us feel like home. They gave us some tips of secret beaches near by and options what else to do in the area.
Guindulman bay tourist in was wery easy to reach by bus from Tag and when we continued our journey to Ubay we just walked to the main road and get a coach. How easy is that? It was also easy to go to see the beautiful beaches of Anda by tricyckle. I suggest that to everyone!
It was sad to leave the place after three nights, but we're definitely coming back whenever we travel to Philippines.
This was our favourite spot in Bohol, where we visited also some islands and Panglao.
Place to relax and enjoy the 'holiday'. Plus the food made by Ann was the best of our trip. Still miss those springrolls! Kiitos!
