‘Anika’ is a Latin word that means grace or favour. And Anika Island Resort is certainly a graceful place to enjoy a relaxing vacation. It has fine, white sand and crystal clear blue water which any beach lover would be devoted to see. 

Summer is already over. I know. But if you’re looking for a relaxing place where you can let go of all the anxieties in life, ‘Anika Beach Resort’ is the place to be.   

“I love the resort and I would like to go back here with a special someone,” a happy guest Xania Mae Sanchez said while we were in the resort.

How to go to Anika Island Resort? From North Bus Terminal Cebu, ride a bus going to Hagnaya Port (Php 150/head). From their, travel through Island Shipping Ferry bound for Sta. Fe Pier (Php 180/head inclusive of terminal fee). Then, Anika Island Resort's free shuttle service will fetch and take you to the resort. Total estimated travelling time is 4 hours.

The resort’s cottages are made of indigenous nipa huts and bamboos. They are positioned perfectly in the beach front where you can relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the seashore.

Anika Island Resort’s restaurant is absolutely a stunned out because of its exquisite structure. Their chandelier, tables, chairs and other furniture are beautifully designed. In addition to that, they cater the most delicious sea food gastronomy in the Island. The food prices range from Php 200 to 300 which I think are reasonable enough to satisfy your cravings. I swear you'll be glad whatever food you’ll order from their menu.

Anika Island Resort endeavors to make all their guests happy. The crews are very friendly and accommodating as well. So here's my shout-out to them, "Thank you very much!" 

Definitely, the resort is recommendable for family vacation, couple’s honeymoon, ‘barkada’ getaway or even self-searching retreat. I promise it is a place worth to waste your money. In fact some Filipino celebrities had been in the resort and really enjoyed their vacation.

Sharing below are the pictures of our awesome experience in the resort. Enjoy!
