The property was well taken care of and safe. The pool was really nice along with the beds in the room being very comfortable. Staff was helpful anytime. Would have given it a 5 star except 2 things; the wifi hardly worked in our room and the water was shut off in the mornings. I mentioned the wifi to the staff but there was nothing that could be done. I had to ask for the water to be turned on first thing in the mornings. Luckily the water pressure was good and worked well throughout the day and night. The cell sefice was akso good in the area so we didn't have a problem using our own service.

Overall I felt like this hotel was overpriced for what you got. We stayed in a deluxe room, which was nice. Bed was comfortable. It was too hot and the AC could not keep it cool enough, but they did also have a fan. The shower was only lukewarm, not hot, but not a huge deal as it was so hot. Restaurant was ok. Large breakfast portions were nice. They had a shuttle to the main town for 100 php per person. Laundry was crazy expensive 350php/kg, but it was clean. We appreciated that they arranged a driver for us to go to Osmena Peak and Kawasan Falls for us last minute (was 5000php). We did do 2 dives with the dive shop on site. We had been planning to do more, but were not very impressed with them, so did not do more dives. They didn’t seem eager to have us dive with them (didn't respond to our email ahead of time and didn’t acknowledge us when we went down to the shop to look at the dive sites/schedule and to inquire). However we did still book. The boat was not set up well for diving (no designated spots for tanks and awkward to get ready), but the main reason we didn’t do more dives was because they pushed to get us to jump right away without checking the gear or doing a buddy check. They did let me do my checks after I said I wanted to, but then again tried to get me to jump immediately again the next dive without doing buddy checks. The did have good equipment. The fruit and tea/coffee on the boat was nice. Lastly we did appreciate the free cold water refill stations.

A nice hotel on a spectacular reef. Unfortunately we were unable to dive due to illness but the snorkeling was just fine, over the course of 2 days we saw 5 turtles, a sea snake, lots of sea horses and many fish. The bed was just ok, and breakfast was average but sufficient. A short tricycle ride to town.

This is a dive resort with an amazing house reef! Went to pescador island from this resort and snorkelling was better on the house reef. Take a tricycle into town. It’s worth visiting. Food was good and great spot for three nights

Great amenities, good service, quiet rooms, clean and safe. Good snorkeling right off the property. Reef is starting to deteriorate with hardly any large fish left. The drop off has some of the best snorkeling.

The place was beautiful and nice and staff are all friendly. However, its not easily accessible to go anywhere else since the resort is far away from the main road. It wouldve been nice if the resort would offer a free shuttle going even to the main road and back.

Nice mini oasis in a desolate part of Moalboal! Very quiet, clean, and private with knowledgeable staff. Food options are limited but the main area is a 5-10 minute drive or 30 minute walk. Awesome diving for turtles, sardines and bioluminescence.

Lovely stay away from overcrowded Panagasma

Located on the serene beautiful Turtle Bay, away from the noisy very overcrowded tourist ghetto around the sardine Panagsma beach. Good snorkeling and diving gear available. Nice pool. Comfortable room. Some beautiful reef fishes, and many snorkelers see turtles after 4:30 pm. Not a sandy beach, but nice areas to sit and enjoy the views and sunsets. Rides into town are 100 Philippine pesos p/p. Breakfast good , bar on premise, and easy walk to JG's Grill for very good dinner

Wonderful Diving & Staff

I stayed here with my mom to go diving. The diving was wonderful tons of fish, coral, and turtles! The hotel room was wonderful and had a huge balcony. My mom doesn’t dive so she just relaxed by the pool. The diving crew was great at finding and pointing out sealife. My mom did a Discover Scuba off the house reef and was so excited that she saw Turtles and told everyone about it to everyone she knew!
