Anda stole our hearts many years ago when, talking with Filipino friends, they recommended we explore “an unknown area with natural pools.” When we got there, besides realizing the huge potential of this part of Bohol, we also saw how far it still was in terms of hotel options compared with other well‑known destinations in the country.
Luckily for you, in this guide to the best places to stay in Anda you’ll see how the accommodation scene here has evolved, and we’ll give you all the tips and information you need to choose your hotel in Anda. Expect spectacular rice fields, waterfalls, gorgeous trekkings, beaches with great snorkeling, and plenty more to discover.
Keep reading and enjoy everything there is to do in Anda knowing that, when the day ends, you’ll have found the place to stay in Anda you were looking for to rest.
Areas to stay in Anda
Anda is a small municipality whose central core is made up of 4/5 street crossings. Unlike other places where we can analyze neighborhoods or how close hotels are to ports or points of interest in more depth, here we basically talk about hotels in the town proper and hotels outside it.
On our first visit we chose a small nipa hut (where it was horribly hot) right in Anda Town because, back then, there wasn’t much else to choose from. By contrast, on our most recent visits we’ve always opted for accommodation in the surroundings and only swing by “the center” when we want to eat at places like Coco Loco. In Anda it’s 99% likely you’ll rent a motorbike, so staying outside the town center won’t be an issue. Plus, many of the places we’re going to mention have private beaches or beaches that—though not private—very few people reach.
What’s more, our trusted contact for motorbike rental in Anda delivers right to your accommodation, so you don’t need to go into town. You get off the jeepney/bus/van at your hotel and the bike is at the door. That’s how we’ve done it the last few times we stayed at Three Little Birds.
If you want to do it this way, leave us a comment and we’ll pass along their contact so you can have it just as easy.
On this map you can see all the places to stay we mention in the Where to stay in Anda Bohol Guide.

Three Little Birds
This has been our go‑to place to stay in Anda on our recent trips. We felt so at home that we went for 3 days and ended up staying a week. The staff are incredibly kind, always smiling and ready to help you with everything you need to make the most of the area, and the owner (even if she’s usually in turbo mode and very fleeting) has great energy too.
It has huge bungalows with a Balinese‑style touch, lots of space, and a bathroom with a modern design as well. At the front, the bungalows have a small private terrace where you can relax in the hammock, plus a couple of chairs and a table where they brought us dinner every night. A few meters further on you’ll find a huge pool for a refreshing dip.
The Wi‑Fi works perfectly in the restaurant area but, unfortunately, depending on the room it can be hard to get a connection.
This place is about 7 minutes by motorbike from the town center, which isn’t much, and there aren’t restaurants nearby. So you’ll either have dinner at the hotel itself (the food is very good) or ride somewhere for a bite. The good thing is a beach is 1 minute on foot, truly lovely and rarely crowded.
Without a doubt, one of our favorite hotels in Anda, and one we’ll surely keep returning to. You can see more info here:

Old Castle
Old Castle, as its own name suggests, is quite old. So much so that it’s one of the few hotels in Anda that were around the first time we visited the area many years ago. It’s not a place we especially recommend, but we know it can be a good fit for some travelers.
This hotel is made to look like an old castle, and it’s a shock the first time you see it: “¡¿What is an old medieval castle doing in front of a tropical beach?!”. And that’s what leads many people to book here: the chance to stay right on the seafront, in the middle of town, in a place that, compared to others, isn’t too expensive.
The issue comes if you expect your room to be on par with a royal family’s chamber in a castle. Depending on which one you get, you may find an air‑con that barely cools or just a fan. It’s a lottery. Some travelers leave thrilled and others not so much—this place to stay in Anda would benefit a lot from a facelift.
What did win us over was the beach bar‑restaurant they have. There you’ll find truly cold drinks.
Zenith Inn & Resto Bar
One of the most interesting options for staying in the center of Anda. It’s strategically located on the town’s main square, where the main transport arrives and departs, next to the market where you’ll find carinderias for cheap eats, and 4 minutes’ walk from the main beach.
You won’t find luxuries in the rooms—they’re your classic mid‑range Filipino hotel—but its good upkeep, the great kindness of the staff, and the excellent value for money make it a solid choice.
On the rooftop there’s a bar‑restaurant that’s often lively at night for dinner and drinks at very popular prices. If you’re after a central, comfortable, good‑value hotel, this could be your pick.
Rose Apartments
About 8 minutes from Anda town, Rose (who’s lovely) offers two rooms for those seeking something not too pricey (from €18 a night) and relaxed in a recently opened place.
The rooms are simple and without many flourishes, but Rose and her partner Sebastián work on improving things every day and keep adding bits. The Wi‑Fi isn’t the strongest you’ll find in the Philippines, but it’s totally fine for basics. As of today there’s no restaurant, so you’ll have to head out to nearby hotels for dinner.
Its biggest strengths are the value for money and the friendliness of the owners.

Amun Ini Beach Resort & Spa
The top place to stay in Anda is, without a doubt, Amun Ini Beach Resort & Spa. Obviously, if you’re traveling on a backpacker budget, skip this one in Anda—we’re talking about a resort where luxury comes at a price. This hotel is ideal—aside from anyone wanting to treat themselves at any other time—for honeymooners or special occasions, since rooms don’t go below €335.
Everything here is “done to the nines.” Rooms have every luxury and convenience you might need, the restaurant cooks everything with great care, the staff are super professional, its private beach is among the best in Bohol, and there’s even a dive center with luxuries. Diving with Amun Ini means heading out on a speed boat that shortens all trips and, among other things, having a warm towel waiting for you after your dives, along with drinks and snacks to match all the luxury that awaits here.
If you’re looking for places to stay for a Honeymoon in the Philippines or you want to splurge, there’s nothing better in Anda.

Casa Amihan
Want to give yourself a treat without the price shooting up as much as at the previous resort? Casa Amihan is an excellent resort just 8 minutes by motorbike from the center and could be exactly what you’re after to stay in Anda.
Its rooms with sea view win over everyone who stays there, and the good vibes from the staff make many guests want to return. We could describe the decor as “Filipino‑modern.” In other words, it’s well above the Philippine average in many aspects, but it’s not the hotel with the most spectacular design.
The spacious rooms with sea views, access to a lovely pool, private terrace, and its location right in front of the beach are complemented by a restaurant that delights seafood lovers and that, compared to what you usually expect in the Philippines, serves dishes fairly quickly.
Take a look—this might be the Anda hotel you’re after
Anda Poseidon’s Beach Resort
First, the usual caveat: the term “resort” in the Philippines isn’t synonymous with a place offering certain comforts as it is in much of the world. Don’t use that as your filter when looking for places to stay in Anda.
Anda’s Poseidon Beach Resort is a good match for those who picture themselves traveling around the Philippines from beachfront hut to beachfront hut. If you want a hotel without big luxuries—simple, but where you can roll out of bed and practically jump straight into the water—give this one a look. Its nipa huts, while simple, have a fan and a pretty decent air‑conditioning unit.
In front of the hotel you have a couple of small beaches that few people usually visit, and they’re a delight. Even though it’s about 11 minutes by motorbike from the “center,” it has a restaurant with a decent variety of dishes.
Here are the prices and available dates
Blue Raven Resort
One of those places where you can stay in Anda and feel right at home. The caring owners will make sure you don’t lack for anything. Rooms are spacious and come with a TV, air‑con, a kettle, and even a fridge—all at a really competitive price for what’s on offer.
It sits in front of a small cliff with access to the beach, from which it’s often easy to spot turtles swimming by. So if you’re up for it, grab your snorkel mask and go enjoy them.
It’s a very good accommodation option if you don’t need to be in Anda town. Plus, if you like French press coffee, you can drink as much as you want here.

Za Priscila Tourist Inn
Ideal for those who want to be close to the town center without needing to be exactly in town. You’ll take at most a couple of minutes to get there by motorbike.
The staff are lovely and the place has that family vibe that makes you feel more like you’re at your favorite aunt and uncle’s than at a hotel in Anda.
Rooms are very clean, well‑kept, and spacious, with private bathrooms, balcony, air‑con, Wi‑Fi, and TV. Everything simple, but sufficient. The breakfasts are a hit.
