As the title show there is false advertising on the room description. As this is a room with a price tag of 67USD it should not be a cabin somewhere near the ocean. Actually, it is. The walls of this oceanview bungalow are made of local bamboo construction, with the exception of the front wall and the bathroom. Sounds delightful but in reality it is not. For starters the sounds inside the room is the same as outside the room. The temperature in the Philippines is not low but the room temperature is the same as outside, kind of. So, if you are looking for an outdoor experience with a full size roof this is the place. BTW, I am writing this review at 4am, because nobody can sleep as it is raining and the sound inside is the same as outside and I am actually sitting outside as it is cooler here than inside with a fan that is 3m (9ft) away from the bed. Oh, the large bed is two twins put together, so if you want to cosi up next to your hubby, not so nice.

My husband and I have just returned from a fabulous 8 days in Anda and we honestly found it hard to leave! The service and care given by the staff surpassed our expectations - this is even though our stay got off to an inauspicious start as we lost one day due to the typhoon on Christmas Day. Very special thanks go out to Mick Chapman and to his lovely wife Mildred. During our stay I completed my PADI open water and my husband did some speciality dives towards his master scuba diving certification. Mick is truly a legend and I feel honoured to be trained by him - I was nervous beforehand but he put me at ease and was very supportive and patient throughout all my dives. Mick is also extremely knowledgeable and safety conscious- when my husband was stung by a scorpion fish he knew exactly what to do and saved my husband from a potentially serious injury. The dive sites were truly beautiful and there is an abundance of turtles and coral reef walls in good condition.

The staff at reception, restaurant and housekeeping also deserve special mention- thank you to Sayong,Zen, Therese, Mirabelle, Ronny and Kenneth ( as well as the chefs cooking the delicious food)- you were all exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble and they even helped arrange transportation for our friend who was staying at a nearby resort. The grounds and facilities were beautiful, clean and well maintained and everyone who works there seems to take pride in their job which is truly commendable.

Blue Star Dive resort was a superlative experience from start to finish and we left with many happy memories. Thank you everyone for making it so special!

We booked the resort after reading so many positive reviews and Blue Star did live up to the hype.

This place is just a paradise for divers. Mick, his lovely wife Mildred (my apologise if the name was misspelled!) and the rest of the team made the whole experience so enjoyable. We had a couple of fun dives with Blue Star and I also took my AOW courses here.

Everything was top notch and diving equipment was all in good condition. The crew was very supportive and we felt so safe with them. Coral and marine life here is the best I’ve ever seen. A true treasure and it is worth everyone’s efforts to protect.

The resort itself was nice and peaceful. Staff were friendly and caring. Food was not bad. But the highlight for us is really the diving centre and the sea!

We will certainly come back!
