Although I do not dive, my husband, sister and brother in law are avid and advanced divers. Over the past several years, we have visited Philippine dive resorts in Puerto Galera, Palawan, Cebu and Dumaguete. And everywhere we go, they invariably say that overall, Anilao can't be beat for diving. We usually stay in resorts in the USD100-125 range, and... More

As I said in my last review, I would be revisiting this resort and so what has changed? Well the people running the resort have changed, I believe Adrian (the previous manager) is now running a dive school in Bohol but has anything changed with that? Well it seems now that the food is still fairly decent by Philippine standards,... More

You really can't complain about anything at Dive Solana. Correspondence was excellent prior to our getting there, and once there the service was incredibly efficient and personal. We stayed in the beach-front villa (2) and the location and view was amazing. The rooms are basic with 2 queens and a bathroom, extremely clean, and air-conditioned. They don't have a tv... More

I was invited to my boyfriend's company outing held in this resort. After the 4-hour ride from Quezon City, we found the 270-step downward stairs punishing. However, the nice staff who carried our luggage, the welcome drinks, and the ready dinner buffet have compensated for what we have to go through just to get to the resort. Each room has... More

Stayed at Solana for a few days of relaxation and it exceeded my expectations. I am not a diver and despite the resort well-known by professional divers, I took a chance and enjoyed my stay tremendously. The service is very warm and sincere - attesting to the true Filipino hospitality. The views and the rooms are very peaceful and relaxing.... More

We were picked up from the airport by their shuttle and brought directly to their resort. Their driver was careful in obeserving traffic safely which was something since it was a weekend and traffic was really bad. I would not say the property is at par with a Shangrila or Four Season's but the standards and amenities were much more... More

It was easy to get to since the website gave excelllent and very exact directions...once we got there, we immediately felt right at home since the staff was really friendly and courteous. The rooms are very "homey" and the owners did an excellent job in putting in a lot of little details to make our stay very comfortable. The place... More

This "Solana resort" has outrageous prices and you definitely don't get what you pay for. The prices are comparable to what you would expect to pay for a five star resort and this place is definitely not 5 star. The food was tasty, service friendly but slow, rooms more a 3 star standard. The setting by the beach was idyllic... More

We've been numerous times to this hotel already. We did notice lots and lots of improvement over the last few months, important ones like overall cleanliness, better maintained rooms, better care for the food, at last a clean toilet at the dive shop...although I still have my doubts that any safety equipment is available, still don't see any first aid...

I stayed at Solana at the end of August for two nights for some diving and realxation. The resort can arrange transportation from Manila, which was very convenient. I am familiar with the area but was glad to not have to worry about getting there and back. Count on a minimum of 3 hours from the airport. That's with very... More
