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.

See below. Or above, depending on which review gets published first! Loved the resort, and the diving down at Panagsama (quick mention for Kuya Divers) so I extended my stay for 3 more nights.

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!

One of the better properties to stay at in Moalboal, the house reef in particular is fantastic for snorkelling and diving. We saw two turtles in one day!

We loved our stay there because of the access to the coral reef right at the back of the property. We would spent hours snorkeling as the reef is amazing (when you get to the wall on the deeper side you can see plenty of turtles), and even did a discovery dive which was brilliant (a bit expensive though but it was with the hotel). The room was a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast was lovely, and the restaurant had nice food. It's a bit further away from town so you always need to take a tricycle to do anything else than snorkeling (200 pesos for 2 one way).

This is probably one of the nicest resorts in Moalboal. Only a few things that keep it from being a true 5 star resort. Pros: - Staff. Staff is readily found and accommodating to any requests. Everyone was very polite. - Snorkel/Diving. The snorkel area is amazing. Tons of corals and fish to see, and you don’t have to leave the resort! All free and included with your stay. - Organized excursions. Transport for each excursion is handled by on-site staff. So no waiting around for a driver to show up. Cons: - Dining. Food is very good, but limited options and quite a bit overpriced compared to the restaurant a few minutes walk away. Included breakfast was very good though. - Swimming Pool. The pool is large and deep (6 feet) which is nice. Could use a better cleaning though. The filter was only on for one of the 3 days we stayed. - No Beach. Not really within their control, but understand there is no swimming area for the ocean. The snorkeling area is completely covered in coral. Great for snorkeling, but a no go for casual swimming/playing. Not really a con, just something to be aware of. Minor mention: All restaurants and amenities were closed and unavailable to guests during their holiday party. No prior notice was given to us. Cons are minor, I would stay again if visiting Moalboal. Overall nice resort. Just expect to pay a bit more during your stay for food and drinks.

Service from all the staff I encountered during my 4 night stay in September was very good. But I was disappointed with quite a few things; I stayed in one of the bungalows, it was small and badly in need of a full refurb as the decor was outdated. There was no suitcase rack in the room so I had to leave my suitcase on the floor I had the American breakfast each morning, it was poor quality and skimpy with very small portions and the bread was of cheap, low quality. No multi-grain bread was available. I was looking forward to a swim in the hotel pool but the water looked dirty and greasy. I mentiond this to a member of staff on my first day, they said they would have it cleaned but it wasn't. It's a small resort hotel in a medium size plot, reasonably well maintained but looking a bit dated. It is on the beach, but it's not sandy, it's all gravel and rocks. Would I stay again? No. Overall value for money was poor. I expected a lot better for the rate that I paid.
