We stayed for three nights and loved it so much! It's such a beautiful building offering beautiful rooms and wonderful service. The suite was absolutely amazing, very large and had a comfortable bed and a very nice tub on the balcony. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was absolutely great and the fruit shakes were the best. The property has an amazing garden and breathtaking views. They are also building a pool which should be ready sometime soon. Anne and Derek were very lovely and helped with transportation, advice on the local area etc. It was great to spend the New Years Eve with them and share some good stories. An only minor complaint would be regarding the noise level around Christmas time as it sounded like the whole island was partying every night. The location is very nice, off the beaten path yet close enough to nearby attractions. There are a few beaches a scooter ride away.

“Best place in the Anda area ”

What a fantastic Inn very comfortable, quiet just the sounds of the birds, great hosts, food and bar. I spent a night here then Anda but ended up coming back as it’s better than places in Anda and only a 15 minute ride away. A great base to visit Caijay area with lovely rice terraces, waterfall and… lisää

What a fantastic Inn very comfortable, quiet just the sounds of the birds, great hosts, food and bar. I spent a night here then Anda but ended up coming back as it’s better than places in Anda and only a 15 minute ride away. A great base to visit Caijay area with lovely rice terraces, waterfall and cold springs. Great little beaches and cave pools in Anda and fantastic overlooking views from just up the road from the Inn. I can’t wait for my next visit. Hope you enjoy my photos

We spent a wonderful week with Anne & Derek in their lovely Tourist Inn in one of the best regions of Bohol. Even though the Tourist Inn is a bit of work in progress - with for example the pool are being added soon - we have almost nothing that we'd wanted to have differently. Transport: The tourist Inn is located in Guindulman Bay, reasonably close to Anda with its beautiful beaches. It takes about 2hrs with the local bus (120 pesos) from Tagbilaran to get to the Tourist Inn, but since that can be quite an adventure at busy times, I'd advice you to either get a Taxi or (which is even better) have a rental car with which you can go around to explore the island. Location: Guindulman Bay and Anda are parts of Bohol that has been spared from excessive tourism. It is popular among Filipinos during the holiday season, but apart from that only has a couple of other resorts along the beautiful white beaches of Anda. From the Tourist Inn, Anda's beaches can be reached within an hour by trike (the filipino equivalent of a tuc-tuc) or more conveniently by your own vehicle. Derek also rents out his motorcycle for those that know how to drive one. Other sides that are to be discovered in this area of Bohol are numerous springs, caves, and waterfalls in the nearby hills/mountains, the beautiful coral reefs of Guindulman Bay (for those who like to dive or snorkel) and the chocolate hills (which are best approached on the way back to Tagbilaran) House: The house is by far the most beautiful one I have seen during my stay in the Philippines and was build with a great attention to details. It is located on a slope facing the sea which leads to a lovely sea breeze in the evening. The rooms are specious, well equipped in very clean. The two bigger ones both have a balcony with garden and partly sea view. Bar: The bar that is located in the garden and the place where we spent most of hour evenings. It is neither a place of excessive drinking nor loud music and party. It is rather a calm place where one can relax from the daytime activities, have a chat with Derek (who always has a story to tell), grab a drink, eat dinner, or just simply read a book. Service: The service throughout our stay was great. The whole team, including Derek, Anne, and the two local employees are incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, I can warmly recommend this place to anyone in search for a little peace and quite. And one last advice: You'll enjoy it most if you see yourself as a guest, rather than a customer.

“Wow!”

I guarantee you won’t find nicer hotel owners than Derick and Anne. They are by far the most welcoming, funny and helpful people we have come across.

I guarantee you won’t find nicer hotel owners than Derick and Anne. They are by far the most welcoming, funny and helpful people we have come across. They helped us rent a moped, gave us maps and local information and generally amazing people. The food at the hotel is out of this world. From struggling to find decent food in the Philippines , we then were struggling with how much food we could consume. Anne is the chef and wow is she good! The rooms are beautiful and spacious and by far the cleanest we’ve come across in the Philippines. The WiFi is great and there is a tv with lots of English channels and the air con is an extra if need be. Extremely reasonably priced for a couple. We had a deluxe room and we didn’t want to leave ! Thank you for making our time here amazing!
