I have bad knees and ankles and don't think I can handle taking steep steps daily. Is there any dive resort in Anilao where I don't have to take many stairs to go diving and eat every day? If not I might have to skip Anilao altogether.

Anilao is a hillside. Good luck.
 
CBR is definitely on a hillside, only the departure area to the boats is close to sea level
 
That honestly looks reasonable. I'll look into it. Thanks a lot!

Paging @Centrals since you've been to the Philippines a lot.
No idea on any resort not being built on the hill at that penisular.
Anilao Scuba Dive Center if you are conscientious of the cost.
 
Define "many" stairs?

If you get in Suites 3 or 4 at Casa Escondida, you will be on the same level as the restaurant / bar (circled in red)...so not a lot of steps to get from room to meals, etc. There is one set of steps to the dive center / pool level and then a set of steps to the boat.

Very hilly location, I doubt there are any without many stairs, even to the accommodation closest to the water.
 
Thanks for all recs! I agree I should clarify what is "too many" for me. Under 5 steps doesn't matter. 10-15 steps would be difficult but can be done. 20-25 steps would be extremely, extremely undesireable. >30 steps would be out of the question.

So far I've been pointed toward the following places for my mid-April trip:
- Bauan Divers Sanctuary Resort
- Portulano
- Anilao Photo Academy
- Saltitude
- ASDC
- Layag Resort
- Maybe also Pier Uno? I can't really tell from the photos
(Casa Escondida and Halo have a bit too many stairs for my liking)
 
Try Layag Resort which has 3 floors. I’m not sure if there are rooms on the ground floor, but there should be rooms on the 1st floor.
