This is an excellent place to stay. Staff is fantastic. Rooms are large. Access to the property is very easy which is not the case for many of the neighboring resort. Everything you need for a relaxing, peaceful vacation is right there. Again, just can't say enough good things about the staff and their professionalism. 5 stars!!!

This is an amazing little oasis. Comfortable, clean room with a great view. Gardens and pool are beautiful and well maintained. Food is exceptional. But the best part of this gem of a resort are the staff. They are so kind and accommodating. They work so hard to take care of all your needs. Such a wonderful stay. Will definitely return!

Peaceful getaway away from the crowds. Great snorkelling spots near to the resort, helpful staff; they arranged for boat transfers with other divers for us to go snorkelling. Rooms were well-maintained, clean and spacious.

Nice resort with friendly staff
Nice resort in Anda. It's quite out of the way, with not much nearby, in terms of restaurants etc. It's nice and quiet, with good food and drinks in the restaurant. Friendly dive centre on site, and they can organise snorkelling boat trips as well. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff incredibly welcoming and friendly!

Luv it!
We love the place! The dive sites / reefs right in front of the resort (Turtle Point, Snapper Cave) are stunning! There’s a beautiful wall, just teeming with life. We saw some big hawksbills and jackfish. Wish we had time to explore some more. The dive instructor, Mick, was very easy to talk to and knows the reef very well. Our rooms were super clean and comfy. Service was excellent and the food was definitely a plus. It’s the best you’ll find in Anda (not many choices, TBH). The only thing that’s missing is white sand, but you can easily access those around. We visited several resorts in Anda, but we’re happy we booked this one. I highly recommend Blue Star and will be back soon! P.S. Nice places to visit nearby: Combento Cave, Can-Umantad falls and the big public white beach.

Peaceful place
This resort is a very quiet place. If you want a peaceful vacation away from other busy beaches or resorts this is the place. They have a very nice staff, room was clean, food is good but pricey.

Great Diving, awesome food, friendly staff
Really nice place to stay. Grounds kept very well. Food very good, liked the curry chicken with hot peppers. Diving is very good, saw 4-5 turtles on one dive. Room was always made up after we returned from morning diving. Nice pool. Great view of the water.

Buen entorno, habitaciones básicas
El entorno donde se encuentra el alojamiento es muy bonito. Puntualizar que, a pesar de que pone que como servicio principal tiene playa privada esto no es así. Tienen habitaciones con/sin Aire Acondicionado con una diferencia de precio bastante significativa. Además sucede que las que no lo tienen son más baratas y son las que ofrecen las mejores vistas al mar. Por contra, éstas habitaciones están llenísimas de hormigas. La habitación es básica pero bastante amplia, igual que el baño. La cama es cómoda. La ducha no tiene absolutamente nada de presión y con frecuencia no sale agua caliente. El personal por lo general es bastante amable. El desayuno está incluido pero es muy básico. El zumo NO es natural sino q se trata de agua súper azucarada con sabor a algo... Está malísimo. La fruta que ponen, muy escasa. Tienen restaurante donde se puede comer y cenar con una amplia variedad de comida. Los precios son casi europeos y tardan muchísimo en servir. En una ocasión casi llegó a la hora.

Erg teleurstellend
Personeel is vriendelijk maar bij aankomst op de kamer veel dode beesten. Vliegen, mieren en muizenpoep zaten overal. Honderden vleugels van dode vliegen op bed. Je kan hier snorkelen maar de trap om de zee in te gaan is levensgevaarlijk. De golven slaan er hard tegen aan en er zijn overal rotsen omheen dus het is te gevaarlijk om er in en er uit te gaan. Dit was echt een domper want we hadden dit hotel geboekt om te snorkelen en redelijk veel geld betaald voor een vieze kamer.. restaurant is ook best aan de prijzige kant in vergelijking met andere hotels en resorts en het eten is niet erg lekker.

Der Außenbereich des Blue Star Dive & Resort ist genial und zum Entspannen sehr gut. Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung, hatten eins ohne Klimaanlage. Die Sanitäranlagen sind vom Komfort überschaubar. Wenn man nicht zu viel Zeit auf dem Zimmer verbringt dennoch in Ordnung. Die Aussicht beim Frühstück ist genial. Allerdings gibt es kein Buffet und man bestellt „ala carte“. Das was serviert wird ist aber in Ordnung. Bis auf das Meer liegt das Hotel in einer ruhigen Lage. Allerdings hat man keinen direkten Strand am Resort.

Hotel para bucear. Correcto. Recomendable
Es un hotel enfocado hacia el buceo. Está ubicado sobre un acantilado. La zona de playa es muy pequeña, y si hay oleaje, impracticable. Las habitaciones son correctas (las reformadas son muy buenas, las no reformadas, quedan justitas). Lo mejor, la amabilidad del personal, tratando en todo momento de hacer que uno se sienta como en casa. Ah! Miércoles noche, día de pizza, en horno de leña. Delicioso!

Absolut empfehlenswert
Nachdem ich die tollen Fotos des Blue Star Dive & Resort im Internet gesehen habe, habe ich (leider nur) 4 Nächte dort verbracht. Die Bilder lügen nicht! Man darf keine 5-Sterne-Unterkunft erwarten, aber es ist ein gemütliches kleines Resort in schöner, ruhiger Lage. Ich hatte den Deluxe Bungalow direkt an den Klippen. Super Sicht über das Meer und bei normalem Wellengang durch die Geräuschkulisse des Wassers ideal zum entspannen. Die Tierwelt ist auch mehr als interessant: Meeresschildkröten direkt unter einem im Wasser, philippinische Adler lassen sich ab und zu am Himmel entdecken und zu den Mitbewohnern im Resort zählen ein großer Leguan und zumindest ein etwas kleinerer Waran, um nur einige zu nennen. Mein Schnorchelvergnügen war leider durch die Regenzeit etwas getrübt. Aber im intakten Hausriff findet man eine Vielzahl verschiedener Korallen, wenn auch leider keine großen Fische. Dafür sollen sich gelegentlich Delphine und Wale vor dem Resort blicken lassen, was ich aber leider nicht erleben durfte. Ein weiteres Plus: das Personal! Ein echtes Team, angeführt von den Managern Corinne und Robert. Ihr Motto: Die Gäste müssen sich zu Hause fühlen! Und hierfür wird im Blue Star Dive & Resort alles getan. Leider habe ich den an jedem Mittwoch stattfindenden Pizza-Abend verpasst. Laut anderen Gästen ist nicht nur die im eigenen Pizzaofen gebackene Pizza empfehlenswert, sondern auch die Livemusik, die geboten wird. Ich beabsichtige auf jeden Fall wiederzukommen.
