Comments	the good: food about a block from the resort was good and very cheap ( ~ 1/15 (40 peso, or $0.94) the cost of resort dinner ($15); lunch was $0.59 at Mari and Lana's cafe)but at the resort it cost $8. the diving ($30/ dive) was very good; Mainit (Secret Bay) is equivalent to Lembeh but doesn't have the trash. This was my 2nd time at Anilao. and there was more fishes than yrs. ago (and not strong current). my dorm room empty except for me; It had air-conditioning, clothes rack, desk, en suite bathroom ( all for $20/ night). Also, there is free Wi Fi and coffee/ tea. The Filipino workers were all very polite and helpful; not much laughs that week ( you can't have everything!!!!) the bad: there was none except for travel from Manila - - slight discomfort taking jeepney (28 peso) after the A/C bus ($2.94); that was to avoid the $100 van each way. The weekend brought 6 divers who were much too serious.
