Here is the thing nobody warns you about Mykonos Resort Anda Pangasinan: the hardest part of the trip is checking out. I arrived expecting a pretty photo backdrop and left wishing to come back. This Greek-inspired beach resort in Tondol is small, whitewashed in spirit, and very good at making you forget you never left Luzon. The first thing you notice about the place are the flags that wave in the wind featuring the Greek, American, and Philippine flags. To explain, Sir Pete, husband to Ma’am Len is of Greek bloodline, lived in the US, and settled here in the Philippines in this small patch of paradise in Luzon. Secondly, the place is home to friendly pets: a large black poodle, a Jack Terrier, et al. Both husband and wife manage Mykonos, with fervor and gusto I might say.
What Is Mykonos Resort in Anda, Pangasinan?
Mykonos Resort is a Department of Tourism-accredited
oceanfront getaway at Purok 2, Tondol, Anda, Pangasinan 2405. It opened in May
2023 and borrows its name, and its mood, from the famous Greek island of
Mykonos. The owners pitch it as a mini Greek-inspired getaway, and the
Santorini-style look backs that up.
The setup is deliberately intimate. There are only three
air-conditioned rooms and one kubo, so this is a beach resort in Anda
Pangasinan built for exclusive bookings, small groups and private celebrations
rather than crowds. Rates run from ₱3,000 to ₱7,500 per room, which is easy to
justify once you see the pool.
Infinity Pool, Jacuzzi and Balcony Views
Let's start with the showpiece. The infinity pool and
jacuzzi are the reason half the group chat said yes immediately. Because the
property is booked exclusively, the private resort with infinity pool in
Pangasinan feels like it belongs to you, not to a line of strangers waiting for
a photo spot.
Then there is the private balcony. Whether you catch the
sunrise with coffee or the sunset with something colder, the ocean view does
most of the work. I would call the balcony the best seat in the house, but the
roof deck and poolside chill area are strong competition.
Rooms and Amenities at Mykonos Resort
The three air-conditioned rooms are modern and clean, with
the practical extras that make a stay easier:
• Dining utensils, a small fridge and an electric kettle in
every room
• Private comfort rooms with hot showers and bidets
• A 43-inch Smart TV with Netflix in 4K
• Unlimited Wi-Fi
Yes, it is a beach resort with 4K streaming, which feels
almost rude to the horizon. But on a rainy afternoon you will be grateful.
Why No Corkage Fee Is the Real Luxury
My favorite policy here is also the least glamorous: no
corkage fee. Bring your own food and drinks, grill for free, and use the large
common kitchen. Anyone who has paid resort prices for a bottle of water will
understand why this matters.
There is no in-house restaurant, so plan accordingly. The
nearby restaurants specialize in seafood, including fish, crabs, shrimp, squid
and shells, caught fresh that day and cooked in their own kitchens. Delivery
and catering services are available, so you can have a seafood spread at your
table without leaving the pool.
A Pet-Friendly Resort in Pangasinan
Finding a pet-friendly resort in Pangasinan with a private
pool and beachfront is rare, so this one deserves a mention. Your dogs and cats
are welcome, provided you show updated rabies and flea records. It is a small
rule that keeps the place clean and everyone's fur babies safe.
Things to Do on Site
You will not run out of ways to do nothing, and a few ways
to do something:
• Play beach volleyball or go seashell picking on the white
sand
• Use the free bamboo raft to explore the shallow waters at
your own pace
• Hang out at the roof deck, the free cottages with lights,
or the poolside lounge
• Rent a Krystal kayak, or book a floating cottage tour to
nearby sandbars and islands
I will admit the raft is a good equalizer: nobody looks cool
on it, and everyone has a great time.
Nearby Attractions Around Tondol, Anda
The resort sits close to some of Pangasinan's best sights,
which makes it a smart base for a long weekend:
• Tondol White Sand Beach, nicknamed the "Little
Boracay of the North"
• Magsaysay Island, Panacalan Sandbar and Cory Islands
• Hundred Islands National Park
• Bolinao Waterfalls and Enchanted Cave
• Sungayan Grill River Cruise, billed as one of the cleanest
rivers in Luzon
Between island-hopping and the river cruise, you can fill a
day easily and still be back for the pool by sunset.
Perfect for Private Events and Group Getaways
A family reunion, team outing, birthday or intimate
celebration works well here. The exclusive booking format gives your group
privacy, and the beachfront setting does the decorating. For peace of mind, the
resort now has backup solar power and an updated generator for brownouts, which
is not exactly romantic, but it matters when the music is playing and the grill
is going.
