The bathroom is dirty, smelly and the room is dark and uncomfortable. We wanted to check out the very moment we got in the room plus no available wifi in the room, the owner is not pleasant and very nasty plus there are a lot of mosquitos. We will not use the property in the future not to be recommended to friends.

Sea turtle needs help

I believe that this hotel in its hey day was well worth every penny but today isn’t that day. The restroom has a pungent urine smell that lingered our entire stay. The towels were made out of some type of material that doesn’t absorb water making it difficult to dry off after a shower. I recommend that the bed be replaced as they offer no comfort and you are basically sleeping on the frame. I would recommend you buying your own snorkel gear/ life jackets as they don’t have enough to accommodate the hotel. To add to that the the snorkel gear is full of mold and needs to be replaced. They require you to pay a deposit fee (1,000 pesos) to maintain the equipment when they clearly don’t maintain anything. They also posted terroist sign to deter you from booking tours with outside agents to keep the money in-house. I also see no reason to place political pictures in your hotel ESPECIALLY when your nationality is far from the USA. We loved the location as it is very quiet and peaceful but so many factors deter my family from visiting the hotel again. STAY AWAY

A very friedly and quiet place. Great snorkling just outside with colorfull fish and sea turtles. The restaurant serves very good food and the owners and the staff is helpfull and nice to speak with. You feel like home. It's easy to book divingtrips and all of the other tours Moalboal can offer. If you also want to spend time in places with more action, it's easy to rent a motorbike ore hire a tricycle.

A place away from the crowd.

The place was totally far away from the noise of the city. The place is next to the water which I love the most. The staff are very accommodating and all smiles whenever I talk to them. I would definitely go back there.

The staff are wonderful, you feel like you are part of the family, 30 feet from the short is beautiful corals and marine life and turtles. the staff will guide you if you would like. Snorkeling gear are available on site. Rooms are large and very clean. This place is a lovers paradise. The kitchen, Wow this place can cook. Fantastic flavor. If you are a foodie this is your place. Motorcycles are available to rent on site which is very nice to explore the water falls on this beautiful island. Airport transportation. wifi is poor.

Can't wait to come back!

Everything was amazing and only wish we could've stayed longer. It was one of the best places we've stayed in SE Asia. Location right on water was perfect for snorkeling, which really set this place apart from others. Staff was friendly and made you feel at home. Food was fantastic. Room has everything you need and plenty of space.
