I’ve been going to Anilao for about 2 decades now and it’s a pity I only found out about the resort in this trip. It had everything I was looking for in a resort. Nice, spacious rooms facing the ocean. Smart TVs with fast broadband internet. Food was great too and there were a lot of choices. Service was superb. The property itself felt like they really take the time find out their guests needs before they arrive. In my case, I had 2 dogs with me. One’s a service dog and they coordinated with me asking which types of meals to prepare for them and what ingredients they are allergic to. The resorts looks very well maintained and it was clean all the time. Try the ramball (cocktail). It was perfect for sunset drinks. Really had an amazing time and can’t wait to go back!

They get fully booked quickly so need to plan travels in advance!

Loved everything about our stay — staff were all really nice from check in, restaurant and even the team that arranged our dive. Definitely a place to go for those who want to dive in the area.

Parking will be a little bit of a challenge but that staff will assist you!

We got the sea view suite and it did not disappoint. The spacious desk arrangement provided for a comfortable remote work environment and the wifi accommodated my meetings very well. The expansive balcony provided great views of the sunset over the sea and we also enjoyed the bathtub and provided body soaps. We planned on checking out other dining options but honestly the in-house restaurant fare was delicious, especially the desserts. I love that there was a variety of vegetarian options (even though I am not vegetarian) which were delicious as well. The service was also top-notch and we left a 1000php tip to acknowledge their dedication and effort. I especially enjoyed the way that they catered to my exceeding love of ice in my water. My partner really enjoyed the night dive and island hopping adventures we booked through the resort and she is very excited about the prospect of specializing in underwater photography which is the highlight of this dive resort, or even schedule a liveaboard next year on one of the affiliated Solitude properties. She also enjoyed the massage booked from the reception.

That we had to leave and go back to work eventually :(

Our stay at Solitude Acacia was wonderful. We arrived two hours before check-in, but our room was already ready, and checking in was no problem at all. Originally, we had planned to stay for only two nights, but we enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay by an extra night just before leaving the Philippines. The resort is perfectly located, and the staff members were exceptional—friendly (especially the waiters), professional, and always helpful. The facilities are top-notch, offering everything you need to relax and unwind in a peaceful natural setting, far from the noise and crowds of the city. The food was absolutely delicious, and having the beach just steps away was incredible. The seawater was pristine, and snorkeling among the vibrant marine life was a true highlight of our trip. We also got to use the paddle-board to explore the surrounding waters, not to mention the breathtaking sunset views we enjoyed every evening.

In these times when we must be conscious of the world we live in, I believe it's important—not just for the planet but also for hotels finance—to avoid changing bath towels every day. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I think we should adopt more eco-friendly policies regarding bedsheets and towels. On the day we arrived, we encountered a small issue in our room: the toilet had no seat. After notifying the front office, they seemed surprised by my complaint. However, they contacted maintenance, and within a few hours, the issue was resolved. Not a huge deal, but maybe double-checking rooms before guests arrive could save some hassle.

Breakfast was great! location was good, but the menu options and overall preparation was beyond expectations, including the delicious coffee! The island hopping services worked out well too. Dive shop was well stocked, good instructors/ divemasters and friendly staff. Bit on the pricy side, when compared to the similar quality services provided by nearby dive resorts.

It's not a negative feedback, it's probably applicable to us, because we were travelling with aged parents; the entire resort has numerous stairs- to go to the rooms, restaurant, pool- becomes tedious for them. and no wheel chair access too.

Beautiful resort and a fantastic restaurant. Although this is a diving resort, we booked it as we wanted a peaceful getaway and it completely delivered. We organised an island hopping day with them for abour 5000 PHP and managed to go to 2 different islands and ordered some food and drink from the restaurant to take with us which was absolutely magical. We were also able to organise a transfer last minute with the hotel which was expensive (155 USD each way) but in line with taxi prices from the airport.

Reception staff at times seemed not super interested in helping out, but might have just been a miscommunication.

I had a really good time at Solitude! The room was very spacious, had everything you needed and the general facilities, especially the pool, are great. The highlight of my stay was definitely the staff, who were super friendly and went above and beyond to help me with all kinds of questions, from Leo the friendly security guard to the receptionists and the restaurant staff. Salamat po! 🙏

We enjoyed every minute at Solitude Acacia - thanks to the wonderful and attentive staff, the comfortable and clean accommodations, good smelling sheets and soaps/shampoo, and best of all - the menu and coffee selection that made every meal a satisfying experience! The location is easily accessible and provides ample parking. Rooms come with smart TVs and good wifi that supports up to 4 gadgets per guest.

Cleanliness, helpfulness of the staff, location, build quality, room standard, room design and space. Food were excellent local and international cuisine. Fresh orange juice with espresso was worth trying.

Previous review comments about next door hotel were accurate. This is only a small side comments about the food course, I ordered two types of soup and salad which was lovely and tasty however, the size portion was way too small. Perhaps, they could improve the size portions or serving dishes. The rest of the menu courses was in perfect size portions. I booked our 2 nights stay through booking.com with breakfast included but upon check-out they charged it to our room. Still, we had a great time.

We loved the sea view room because it’s only a plight of stairs away from where we parked. The rooms were very clean and they accommodated our request for extra beddings/ mattress for 3rd person in the other room for a fee of P2,500. We loved the food at the restaurant! The staff were all nice, courteous and served with a smile. The island hopping was arranged per our request and we had a great time. The place was clean and safe!

The pearl vendors by the beach and the resort is kind of uncomfortable to deal with. Though I know they just need a little income. I just gave a small amount so they can buy rice for the day.
