    I loved every part of hotel. The hot water was warm, and all the facilities in the hotel were satisfactory. Above all, the blanket and the scent from the room were really good. All the staff were kind. Thank you guys for made so good memories in moalboal.

    Room 104 has a small drop of water coming from the A/C and landing on the headboard of the bed.

    1 minute walk to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. Super clean due to the no shoes/slippers allowed, good idea. Bed was comfortable, shower and toilet facilities were fine.

    Here comes the bad part. During check-in at arnd 7+pm, we booked and paid for a private tour for whale watching and canyoneering and paid 10000 pesos for 2 pax the next day. When we went out for dinner, we realised that other vendors were charging around 6800 to 8000 max for the same private tour. Joiner tour is cheaper, around 5000+ to low 6000s. We went back to the hotel at 9+pm to ask if we could cancel and get a refund. The lady staff was nice and helpful, she explained that she couldn’t decide but called the manager and let us speak to him directly. This was when our nightmare started. We told the manager we wanted a refund, and offered a cancellation fee of 200 pesos. He refused and said everything (eg driver; lunch, and whale watching slot reserved (more about this later) has been arranged for. It wasn’t fair if we cancel now as they could have taken other customers if not for us. It was merely a 2 hours difference betw the time we booked and asked to cancel, seriously I doubt there was any opportunity lost. But we wanted to settle amicably and offered 1000 pesos as cancellation fee. The manager said he will only refund half the paid amount (5000 pesos) for the cancellation - crazy daylight robbery! That isn’t even the worse. The manager started scolding us vulgarities. He explained those offering cheap prices are not licensed/permitted but they are. And their guides / vendors are experienced and licensed etc etc. We told him that it wasn’t of concern to us, the difference in prices is too significant and we would like to cancel. He then started scolding us “fucking stupid”, saying that he had explained but we are not listening to him. We told him there was no need to be rude, but he continued scolding us “fucking stupid” a few more times. He then claimed that he will not force us to go and it is our choice. Do we really have a choice when the cancellation will cost us 5000 pesos? So yeap, we proceeded eventually.

    Room is clean, bed is comfortable. Good idea to require guest to take off shoes at the main door as it keeps the place clean. Water stream from the shower is quite weak, but overall still a decent stay. Nice Santorini vibe. Replies to messages were prompt and helpful. I made separate booking for 2 days (due to changes in plan) and messaged them to ask if we could stay in the same room without checking out. They promptly agreed and made the necessary arrangement during our stay.

    Super close to the beach! Literally just around the corner! Walked a few steps and you can find the beach where the turtles and sardines are just by the shore. Saw some reviews about the smell but honestly i didn't encounter any bad experience. Room was clean and you get what you pay for. Receptionists were very helpful, they helped us keep our luggages, help book tours, and we rented bikes from them for 400 pesos a day.(with phone mount). Im really happy with my stay.

    That we should have stayed two nights!

    We travelled as a family of five with young children and loved our stay. Great location with friendly staff. We absolutely loved the size and facilities in our family room. Spacious with very comfortable beds and great bathroom. Super clean property and love their ‘leave your shoes in the lobby’ policy! Definitely recommend.

    Water pressure is really low at night and sometime in the afternoon. And i wish there was a bidet. They provided tabo, but it looked so dirty and old.

    The room was great, i hope they have a place to hang wet suites and towels. Since the major activity in the area is swimming. It is also a few steps away from the restaurant called The Last Filling Station, they serve good food. Actually best we had in our stay.

    The only remark I have is that on the ground floor rooms you can not open the windows , you only have a small air venting window in the toilet so even with the air conditioning ON you still can feel the moist in the room .

    Great location , just 1 minute from the sardines run and turtles watching and 5 minutes from restaurants and bars . Clean rooms and Staff was so nice and helpful .

    Having to wear slippers others had worn but not a real problem for us as we were able to have bare feet in the hotel. This is to keep the floor clean and it was very clean.

    We loved the location near the restaurants and close to the beach. The staff were helpful during our stay. The room was spacious and was already nice and cool on our arrival.
