I stayed here 4 nights based on the reviews on Tripadvisor. It definitely didn't meet expectations. It started from the beginning, with a chilly and curt greeting. It was the only time in my visit to the Philippines that I didn't get a warm welcome. I checked in and the next morning woke to construction noise out my window. The noise was from a neighboring property. I asked if I could be moved but they said I had to wait another night to move so there was more noise the next morning. I got moved at that point. I did get a couple of massages at the resort and those were excellent. When I was getting ready to leave I told them I wanted a ride to the airport. They quoted a price higher than they quoted me before and disputed that until I showed them the actual emails. They were anything but apologetic. The night before I left they confronted me with a dirty hand towel. I had cleaned my shoe with it and it was dirty but as it was white it was easily cleaned. I had no problem paying for it but was shocked when they said I had to pay $17.50. For a hand towel. In the Philippines. I told them I thought this was excessive. Especially after spending money on rooms, meals and other things. I notice that the owners are very combative with negative reviews so I ask you to take that into consideration when you read their responses to any sort of criticism. That's reflected in their lack of hospitality and friendliness. Your dollars would be better spent elsewhere where the attitude is welcoming. …

Response from Ralf Kempa, Owner at J&R Residence
Responded 27 Apr 2023
As the reviewer MG was asking for a combative response, we will try our Best to meet his expectations. Under the headline "Dissection of a Hypocrite", I will write his review again...but from a different perspective....here we go: "I booked 4 nights in this beautiful Boutique-Hotel based on the excellent reviews here in Tripadvisor and it even looks better compared to the pictures. The check in was swift and efficient, done by a friendly Lady with a bright smile. My welcome drink was served at my terrace...just perfect...too good to be true. As a habitual moaner, I had to find something, but what? Upon arrival I saw that there was a construction site at Anda White Beach Resort....not too far away...BINGO! In connection with my senile insomnia, I was listening to the birds, lizard's and the sound of the waves...but I had the impression that I heard some artificial sound waves as well;-) Hence I complained next day and the owner promised to give me another room as soon as one will become vacant. They uprgraded me to the Penthouse....oh boy...what a luxury feeling. I had the whole 70 sqm Penthouse for myself, without paying any additional fee. I have to be honest, that room was nearly double as expensive as the room I had booked. What an excellent hospitality! What an amazing response to my constructed criticism! Wow! For sure the owner's realize, that I am a born complainer and they just want to "kill me with kindness", but they definetly underestimated my abilities;-)) At the 3rd day, I found another way to make them upset. I cleaned my dirty old pair of shoes with their fluffy white towels. I used the hand towel for the left shoe and the face towel for the right one...yeah....what a mess. I was knowing that a Hotel like this will never ever use those towels for other guests again, it would be against their cleanliness and etiquette. Unfortunately, they really let me pay 1000,- Pesos (approx. 17.5 USD) for the ruined towels. As I complained the price, they even offered me to take the towels with me, but I generously refused. I told them that I spent sooooo much money for meals etc. and was trying my best to make clear , that that gives me all rights to use Hotel property in any way I want. The owner gave me a tired smile, looked at my Restaurant Bill and I was able to see the remarkable amount of 1425,- Pesos (approx. 25 USD) for my 4-night stay. I knew, that he even couldn't pay his cook from that amount;-)) Latest at that point, I was expecting that they will loose their temper, but they didn't. So I left this beautiful place, knowing that they won't allow me to return. Mission completed ;-))) " We hope that our version of MG's review was entertaining and amusing, but those guests are really existing. We also hope that we could explain our feelings and limits. We can now understand why some hotels are asking for cash deposits or surcharges for single room occupancy...but we still won't go this way. Cheers from the beautiful Anda Ralf Kempa

Our first trip to Bohol and hopefully not our last. What a find. After being picked up at Pangalao Airport and interesting 2 hour drive along the coast road we arrived at J and R. Beautifully located rooms and restaurant/bar situated 50 m above their private beach. Very comfotable room, excellent varied menu and a well stocked bar. Add a pool and very attentive staff and we were pretty well near heaven. Our hosts, Ralf and Jhilo, made us feel like guests in their home, which it is. Really appreciated the special mahe mahe which Jhilo acquired from a local fisherman. Recommend the beach walk along to Anda about 25 minutes and a bike taxi back. And excellent security provided by Skipper and his team. Great fun

We stayed here for 11 nights while visiting my parents on Bohol. This is one of the most beautiful locations in all of Philippines and it rivals many coastal resorts we’ve been on in Hawaii, Florida and California. We relish this jewel of a place and have only the best things to say about our hosts Jilo and Ralf, who we’ve gotten to know. They are friendly and kind and always willing to suggest things to do on your stay and make you feel welcomed and comfortable! ❤️ The Sea Breeze restaurant overlooking Anda White Beach is outstanding. There are many choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all delicious! The bedrooms and bathrooms are sparkling clean and the views are spectacular. The landscaping was done by the owners themselves. You can tell they care very much for their guests and their resort. It shows how well the resort is maintained. The staff is also super friendly. We have just arrived hone only two days ago and we already miss everything about J and R Residence resort 🌴🥰 We plan to return someday!…

My gf and I wanted to get off the beaten track and head to Anda for a few days. J&R Resort was a very pleasant surprise. I was able to relax, catch up on a book and do some work online. The wifi was fast and super stable! In fact the wifi was better than some of the big resorts in Panglao. We're looking forward to going back! See you next year!

Excellent small resort/inn. Very quiet location. Great view with nice beach. The staff as well as the owners are very friendly and helpful. Anda is a couple hrs away from the airport and J&R can have their van pick you up if you organize ahead of time. As far as driving I found Bohol's roads and traffic a lot less hectic than large cities (Cebu/Manila). Roads were all well paved until the last few hundred meters acess road to resort. J&R has kayaks and can organize island tours. The pool is well maintained and next to the dinning pavilion. A large menu is a mix of Philippine and German. The penthouse unit is well worth staying in. I will note none of the units had TV. The wifi is free and fiber service was being run into the location the end if July 22. If you are looking for a very clean quiet nice place with good food to relax, this is the place…

We highly recommended this resort. This is a must visit resort in Anda. From the airport you will have a big and comfortable van to bring you to the resort. Once you arrive in the resort you will feel more relaxed with their big and well maintained rooms, swimming pool is great, and it is near the beach. The crew are really helpful and always with a smile. The owner Jilo and Ralph are very accommodating and friendly.
