I'll be visiting Anilao with 5 friends (4 of them fellow divers and one snorkeler) and have been trying to finalise a place to stay. In the past I've stayed at Balai Resort and had great diving and really good food. That was quite a long time ago though. I was surprised to see on Tripadvisor that they were only reviewed once in 2014 and was not rated that highly amongst other resorts in the Mabini area. Have they gone down hill? Dive Solana seems to attract better reviews these days and while being more expensive does seem to offer a more upmarket service. Does anybody have an opinion one way or the other? How good is the dive operation at Solana? Is Balai still up to scratch?
