Er, wait. I belatedly realized that perhaps you don’t mean just Anilao but also the Mabini area of Batangas. If that’s the case, and since I already earlier bandied Bojimbs’ recommendation , I might as well say that his no. 1 resort is Dive Solana. Cut-and-pasted his list from my notes for anyone’s quick reference:

1. Dive Solana – easily the best in facilities, service, and food. Downside: price
2. Pier Uno – convenience (no long walks, no steep steps), amazing service, cozy surroundings, unbelievable casitas. Downside: distance to the dive sites.
3. El Pinoy – always excellent food and it has a beach!
4. Aquaventure – value for money, still the best buffet food
5. Club Ocellaris – if you want peace and quiet
6. Planet Dive – great house reef, close to the dive sites, nice rooms
7. Dive and Trek – unlimited diving in the best house reef in Batangas
8. Portulano – very cozy resort
9. Villa Ligaya – those speed boats have, well, speed!
10. Eagle Point – can’t beat that salt water pool filled with baby sharks

Just for the record
