Blue Star was one of the loveliest places I have ever stayed. The wait and kitchen staff are extremely hard workers and very accomodating. We came to dive and the dive staff was unbelievable. Arjie the dive master was patient, kind and an unbelievably good spotters. From huge cuttlefish, to wunderpuss to tiny shirmp. The Best DM we have ever had. The captain, William, and the rest of the dive crew were extremely helpful and worked very hard. Taking the tanks and equipment up and down the stairs several times a day. We really appreciated everything they did for us and I cant recommend them enough. They made our stay in Anda unbelievable. STAY HERE! You won't regret it.

Room tip: Hot tub doesn't work but everything else is fantastic.

Quality Time

Highly recommended for couples who wants to spend time to get to know each other, go there in no diving season.

Good Food, Cocktails and clean swimming on the pool.

At night you can do star gazing just outside your your accommodation.

Perfect Resort with dive school on sea

We have stayed 12 nights at Blue Star with our familie of 4. We stayed in the deluxe room with sea view. This are 2 rooms on ground level and 2 rooms on the first floor. My wife and I had the ground floor and our girls the first floor. The room is really big with very good beds. There is a separate bathroom with toilet. The rooms come with breakfast where you can choose from 4 types of breakfast. The pancakes are really delicious. The resort also has a nice pool with sunbeds. There is also a whirlpool with view on the sea. The resort immediately felt like our home. The people there are so nice and friendly, they always welcome you with a smile. Sayong is the lady from the frontdesk who helps you with eveything you ask. But also Theresa wo sometimes was at the front desk was really nice. Kenneth the waiter already knew the second day how we loved our thee and coffee. Also in the morning with the breakfast he knew exactly how I wanted my egs baked. The price/quality ratio is very good in my opinion.
All the people from Blue Star deserve a big applause.

Heavenly

You know you have to write a review but you don’t want to share with others a paradise , well this was it. Blue star resort is amazing, We stayed almost 3 weeks.
It only has 10 accommodation units, which makes you feel really private and pampered,.
The staff are fantastic every single one of them, nothing is too much trouble, they are friendly and caring and make you feel so welcome.
The room we had no 1 was fabulous roomy and airy with a great view and nice and quiet, with aircon which we hardly used as we had two sets of french windows open with a lovely sea breeze.
The food is freshly cooked and delicious with plenty to choose from, Wednesday night is pizza night we ordered one each they were huge, the following week we had one between us.
The staff at the dive centre again are wonderful, we couldn’t dive this time but we snorkelled every day, and if someone was diving they let us join them so we could snorkel different sites.
We met the owners whilst we were there and again a lovely couple who care and look after their staff, which reflects on how happy the staff were.
The local town of Anda is a short tuk tuk tide away they have a market day which is great, there are cave pools and beaches close by.
The resort will arrange a tour of the island at a reasonable cost which we thoroughly enjoyed.
We cannot wait for the time we can travel freely again to return.

Large resort in Anda needing some TLC

We stayed in this hotel for three nights in March. We felt like the hotel was ok, not blowing us away and needed some TLC to bring it up to the standard expected form the rates it charges for rooms.

Pros
Lovely pool area and sun loungers to relax
Decent sized pool table by the restaurant
Incredible sea views throughout the resort
Staff on the whole very friendly and helpful amid the corona virus panic!
Pizza night and live music on Wednesday was very good fun
Easy access to the sea - although very steep!
Breakfast which was included in our rate was cooked to order and very good indeed! Decent scrambled eggs are hard to find in the Philippines!

Cons
The shower offered up literally a dribble of water. It was the least powerful of all hotels in three months of travelling around Asia.
The entire bathroom unit looked very dated and in need of a deep clean / upgrade.
Room furniture looked like something out of the 80s
Food and drink in the restaurant pretty high for the local area
No restaurants bars or shops within walking distance of the resort - more a reflection in Anda as a place as still up and coming
No fan and air con too noisy / causes the room to be too hot or cold in the night time
Roosters nearby which make a racket of noise form 4am
Sea was very rough - not sure if this was just bad luck or if that’s typical of the area. It’s a shame as we went here for the snorkelling!
