We are a relaxing, tropical, beachfront resort located on the quiet "divers and lovers" side of Bohol Island. We are located in the friendly Municipality of Anda. There are several daily flights from Manila to Bohol and fast ferries from Cebu. We can arrange a car to meet you at the new International Airport or the ferry terminal. With only 11 Suites and Cabanas, and a private beach, it is never crowded. All rooms face the sea and are close to the beach. We also have an on-site Scuba-Diving centre and an International Restaurant. Our neighbours are local people, mostly fishermen and farmers. Most of our guests are couples, or friends travelling together, expatriates relaxing, professionals recharging, and an occasional Hemingway staying to work on a novel. Many are divers, but all enjoy the sea, or at least being close to it, as well as the lush tropical surroundings. Guests are unanimous in praising the tranquillity and beauty of the resort and the friendliness of our staff.

I stayed for three nights in a very comfortable room, prepared especially by Peter and his excellent support team. The restaurant, Old Plantation, offers a variety of delicious dishes - the seafood pasta is most recommended! I wanna thank Peter for the transportation arrangements, including the day trip to Lamanoc Island!

Property's Favorite Review
We didn't want to stay in Alona or Panglao and decided to explore a different (MORE CALM AND RELAXING) part of Bohol by motorbike. It took us around 2.5 hours to get there from the airport. I can recommend this place to everyone looking for a relaxing getaway. The resort is really great: Comfortable room, perfect beach with clear water, nice pool, very friendly and accommodating staff, delicious food and surprisingly a great wine selection! We would have loved to stay longer but were limited in time. Don't miss out on taking the Kayak (free of charge) late afternoon and explore the nearby beaches, looking at the sun setting from the Kayak while floating in the calm waters along Anda is fantastic! Thanks again Peter for welcoming us, you have a little paradise there and we will definitely be back one day!…

It’s not difficult to see why the reviews are so exceptional here. Peter, the owner, has done a truly outstanding job creating a relaxing paradise. Time stands still in this cosy part of the world. Where do I even begin with the positives. Endless praise. The food, the beach, the rooms, everything was to the standard we were expecting. If you come to this hotel expective ultra modern 5* English standards then you will be dissapointed. If you want large clean tidy rooms with views that can’t really be beaten then look no further. All emenities in the room worked nicely during our stay and the bed linen was nice and dry. NOTHING worse than damp bedding in tropical countries. Food is top notch here. I highly recommend the Crustacean Crepes or Seafood Delights. They are to die for. If my partner and I could think of any criticism for this hotel in any way it would be the wait time for food was quite long sometimes. BUT you don’t mind waiting when it’s as tasty as this was. When it’s all freshly cooked it is justrified but we would recommend bringing a deck of cards to keep you busy while you wait :) Overall Peter Steph and I loved our stay and we really can’t wait to return, bless you and your wife for creating such a paradise. Chris and Steph x Ps. Keep the humour and western music. It’s wonderful…

The entire property is so well appointed!! So well thought out! Thank goodness-Not another commercialized place! Those who travel extensively, grow weary of the tourist traps, the crowds! Peter, you have achieved your goal! And that’s to keep this place uncrowded! The rooms are enjoyable! The property has many fruit trees growing. The pool is large, so nice. The outdoor seating is fantastic! The beach lounging is beautiful! The entire place is calming! Including the sea!! Can’t wait to come back

We were supposed to stay just a few days on the island of Bohol until we discovered Island View Beachfront resort through the divemaster on site. We initially stayed somewhere else in Anda and besides the dive school, it was the restaurant at the resort we discovered first. Incredibly fresh food, delicious cocktails, an extensive winelist and above all the amazingly friendly service. And for a very reasonable price. We got acquainted with the owner, Peter. A friendly man who makes his guests feel at ease and relaxed. So instead of heading to El Nido, we decided to extend our stay on Bohol at Island View Resort. And we are so happy we made that decision. Our cabana was nice and spacious and very clean. A huge comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom and a patio at the back with outside shower. The service at the resort was incredibly attentive and after one / two days the knew your food- and beverage preference. Service with a big smile at all times of the day. So - without any hesitation I gladly recommend this resort.…

This was an absolutely amazing find. Everything you could want in an island break. No mass tourists, no pretence..nothing but natural beauty. There is everything you need, clean comfortable accommodation, great food, fantastic pool, the best yoga I have done ( thanks Paul), wonderful beach with gorgeous sunsets and most importantly the loveliest of staff who are friendly kind and helpful. I don’t want to leave…thank you to everyone for making our stay so enjoyable. I definitely will be returning. Heather

A superb place to stay, ready well set up and so laid back. The resort is about 2hrs 30mins by car from panglao/tagbilaran and easy to get to. Its sits in a quiet place a kilometer off the main road, so no disturbing noises around. It has a small sandy beach leading to into an area of calm water with a series of sea grass and small corals. They have kayaks to use to paddle out a bit further to the deeper water and coral. At the edge of the reef we saw lots of turtles swimming around and surfacing for air. We had a classic room which was super spacious and airy. Everything was working well and the staff were really helpful. To pick out one observation, whilst people were out in the kayaks they kept a watch over the beach area to make sure everything was OK and even kept a bit of an overview of the children. The restaurant had a nice range if dishes. Local, international and Asian. They had a great Cambodian curry, with authentic content. And the atmosphere innthe restaurant area was so open, calm and pleasant. The kitchen team had some good veggie options but was also happy to adjust a couple of the meat dishes to make them veggie friendly; can't ask for more than that. They gave us a good deal on the rooms when tied to the diving. All in all, when taken together, one of the best value and most pleasant places we have stayed in 10 years in the Philippines and would be very happy to go back.…

Island View is among the most beautiful places and well run I’ve stayed at. The grounds are incredible with a pool overlooking the ocean, lots of space to spread out and a dedicated yoga room with daily classes (and massages). It even had a lookout tower for incredible views of the bay. A great place for a little happy hour. There’s a well run dive shop at the end of the property with beautiful reefs just minutes away. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable. Most impressive is the staff. They were kind, very accommodating to our group’s dietary needs, and willing to help us with complicated travel arrangements. They seemed able to predict our needs before we even knew we had them. We did not want to leave.

My husband and I spent nearly one month in this marvelous resort surrounded with so many different tropical trees and flowers.What also makes it special is the big size of the park where you can't get lost thanks to the red tiled paths all around the place. The bungalow was very confortable and the smiling staff took a very good care of us. Thank you Peter for your warm welcome and for making our stay airy pleasant one.

The place is amazing, it offers all commodities a resort can offer combined with a big wild garden, including a view tower and caves. As a family with 2 young kids we enjoy the hospitality and all around services like special food, entrainments for kids… The food in the restaurants is very delicious and it offers a huge variety of dishes from continental to Philippines. We booked a budget room for us with view to the sea, which was perfect for us. Huge king size bed with a complementary individual bed. The installations are in good shape and it is very clean. We can strongly recommend the place to everyone that ones to have an exclusive stay in Philippines with all comforts and a resoanable price.
