I loved the fusion of very community oriented tiny island with traditional values along with the hospitality of hosting FAMILY. If you tired of General Luna vibes then Anajawan will bring new perspective on natural beauty of the island and people's kindness and dignity. I promise you gonna love it. And if you are not stranger to good humour you will have plenty of it... Just ask David what day of the week it is now😉 Love and kind regards from Oleg and Ashley 😊

We just spent 7 wonderful days on an amazing island and could have stayed another month. When we arrived they were just installing their solar system so after 2 nights we had electricity 24/7 where previously the generator only ran 10hrs a day. If you're looking for a true tropical island paradise away from the usual crowds and tourism just metres from the beach then this is a must stay. Great food and hosts who make you feel like part of their family. We were lucky enough to also do a day trip to the next island for their Fiesta and were welcomed with open arms and enjoyed a day of feasting. On top that we had our special needs elderly father with us and the service in helping outstanding. We are definitely coming back for another stay in the future.

Nothing. David says he has lots of plans to improve the setup which is great! Can’t wait to see how it looks when we return :)

This place is special. Staying with Dave and Joannie was a really wholesome and authentic experience. The island itself is beautiful and the best thing is that you will be the only tourists there. David is full of funny stories and makes you feel part of the family. The kids are super sweet and helpful. We had a spacious room and breezy room and loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. If you’re looking for a good place to relax and have an authentic, wholesome family friendly experience, you should stay there. We stayed 4 nights and recommend MINIMUM 3 nights!

A paradise island that felt very authentic. No frills disconnect with reality, the most beautiful beaches and jungle, solo walks on deserted beaches and incredible snorkelling in an ocean filled with life. Limited electricity, limited cell connectivity, basic rooms with fans and village life happening around. Highly recommend you walk through the jungle to the other side of the island, unbelievable sunsets, coral reef, surfing.

People who complains because there is no shops, no bars, no permanent wifi :)

A place like you don't see anymore. Simple but comfortable cottage right in front of the beach. We spent 8 nights with our 2 kids and enjoyed every minute of it. Just doing nothing, listening to the waves, reading, wandering in the lovely village closeby, swimming, playing with the locals kids and their beautiful smile...David is a lovely character full of stories, his wife Joannie is the cook and manage to realize good dishes despite the challenge of being in a remote island (they make their own bread for instance)...Their 3 kids are also part of the daily life. They are so kind and attentive. It was such a privilege to spend a week like this. Thank you David, Joannie, Dylan, Chloe and Noveline + Luigi the clown.

The whole village needs help specially the schools. They have to rebuild again, they lost everything they had from the storm and the earthquake. I will try to do my best to help them. The property we stayed is in good condition and clean and the food at Joana and David kitchen were delicious 😋

Very nice, quiet, we enjoyed the company of the people specially the kids. I feel, I am home and hopefully we can come back soon for longer visit 🙏

The last boat leaves at 4 p.m. If you get there later you have lost the night

The island can only be reached during the day but once you are there you are in paradise and have a house of your own right by the sea and with the best host I know in the Philippines

I've been traveling for almost 30 years and have seen many beautiful places in the world. The island of Anajawan and this sweet hotel are among my most beautiful experiences! David, Joannie and the children are super nice, you feel at home there. The food is delicious and the island is just a dream without tourists. Anyone who loves pure nature will find themselves in paradise there. We were there for 4 nights and could have stayed many more nights.

Only little things like the pillows had seen better days. The shower was pretty weak but if you know you're not getting super posh stuff its just absolutely fine.

David and his family were so welcoming and kind. The island is beautiful, and if you're after a quiet time away, this is the place to be. The accommodation is a few steps away from the beach. The food was limited whilst i stayed but that was mainly due to little fish being available as the seas were rough.

We don’t have any to unlike, david said that they will upgrade their facilities.

Whole Island community is very nice, and specially our lovely host David and Joanna, Thanks for accommodating our family.

I can't think of anything. Everything was perfect.

The Owners Dave and Joannie where amazing hosts and the food was out of this world. It was a once in a lifetime adventure and highly recommended to anybody. This place is like a peace of Haven. Thank you for this genuine life experience.

Nothing. Cause it is expected that wi fi signal is weak so we came prepared.

Everyone is warm and welcoming, beachfront clean waters, perfect island life experience.

Place is amazing - you have real remote island!!! And I mean this is what you should expect - a bungalow in remote island with limited comfort, but worth it!

Stayed in December 2023

We loved it but guests should be aware that it is a very remote island. Electricity from a generator, no AC, no hot water (BUT you can drink the water from the tap!)

We had a wonderful time on what we internally called "Dave-Island". Really liked our host (shared a lot of laughs) and also the whole setup of hammocks, palmtrees and sleeping in a bungalow so close to the beach.

Everything was great. What a beautiful Island! David and his wife are wonderful hosts. We felt comfortable right from the beginning and are happy that we made this Island experience. The people from the village are super friendly. It’s absolutely worth the boat ride. Thank you!!

Stayed in November 2023

Only a minor issue, but card payment was unavailable.

The resort is right on a beautiful beach with views out over the ocean and nearby islands and was probably the most relaxing place I have ever stayed. David and Joannie ( I hope I spelled that correctly) were excellent hosts, serving up great food, ( I particularly enjoyed the fresh fish), and cold beer. Other highlights were the boat transfers and island hopping excursion.

I was disappointed that I had already paid for my next place to stay as I wanted to stay here longer.

It’s pure paradise out on this island. From the moment we were picked up by the boat on Siargao until we left we were in relaxation mode. The large rooms overlook the beautiful beach and wow, the food was amazing. We ate some of the best fish ever out here prepared by the wonderful hosts. Take the time to walk all the way around the island if come here.

Keep in mind that you Are on a remote Island. Dont think its all comfortable and easy. David does the best to make All as smoothly as possible but sometimes there is no electricity which also means no Fan at Night or sonetimes no shower possible.

What can we say, its a TRUE Island experience!! We recommend it if you Are looking for a few days off the Beat. Beautiful ocean, lovely island community and just the perfect Place for relaxation on a remote island. Lovely owner plus family and puppy. Your days consist of snorkeling, hammocks, walking on the beach, Watch the sunset from a hill.

It was a bit hot at night without aircon (fans are available though), that’s why we slept outside on the terrace, which was even better though. Nice wind and the sound of the waves to fall asleep.

Hosts are very friendly and helpful, Dave & Joannie answered all questions we had before we arrived as well as on the island, they organized our transfer from the airport and back again, we didn’t have to worry about anything. Food was good and our kids had a blast, playing with the island kids. They didn’t want to leave anymore and still ask when we will go back there. The island is a paradise, clear warm water, white sand beach, most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you need to detox and get away from city life - this is your place to find peace and nature.
