We enjoyed our stay at the Moon Villa in August. We were travelling with our two teenage children, and our friends, who stayed in the similar Sun Villa. The transport we booked through the Villa was efficient and it was nice to not have to deal with a lot of people trying to get customers at the airport and ferry terminals. The people working here were really friendly, and easy to contact via text if you wanted to order out, book a massage, or order an e-trike up to the Villa. It was nice to have breakfast items ready for the first morning, and to be able to get our laundry done mid-week, for a reasonable price. The shower upstairs is very calming and nicely designed. The bed was really comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and the outside foot shower was really handy. A lot of thought has gone into the design. I also really appreciated the pool and all the plantings that make the property so beautiful. The only drawbacks, coming from a drier and colder climate, is that there were quite a few insects and reptiles in the Villa. There are lizards and geckos in the roof, and if you're not used to it, they can be disconcerting. I doubt you could stay many places without them though. One night we came back to our Villa to find a cat on top of the fridge. It ran out, but things can just get in because the bathroom is just open to the outside. There were also two crabs some spiders, ants, and centipede-type things in the downstairs bathroom, which we removed to the outside. The whole resort is eco friendly so it's probably a trade-off to have some living things in the Villa and not have a lot of pesticides being used. …

We booked 5 nights in the Shell Villa. Naturally quite expensive but you pay for the premium experience, location and quality. Overall, if you can afford it then it's a peaceful luxury retreat. Trike up the hill to the entrance was very steep, I would not want to walk that or carry bags up it in the heat. It's a bit far from the hustle and bustle but that's why you book here in the first place. We were paying about 250 to 300php for a one way trip to D mall for 2 ppl. Check in was smooth and swift, very friendly staff at reception who gave us a tour of the villa, a map of the resort and local recommended spots to eat. Shell villa is right next to reception but still feels isolated and private due to the foliage. Large windows to look over the jungle out to the sea and let light in. Housekeeping had placed fresh flower petals in the bedroom and across the villa which was a nice touch with a little welcome note. They also left a small mango cheesecake and candle as it was my GFs birthday at my special request. Small touches like this are nice. Upstairs has no AC so can get a bit hot unless you open the windows. The ants here are rapid! Don't leave any sugar or food out or you risk inviting friends to eat very quickly. That said, with a breeze and despite being in the jungle there were not that many bugs when we visited. Definitely not bug free by any means but your in the jungle a bit, so it's to be expected. Bedroom and main bathroom are downstairs with kitchen, dining, balcony and 2nd toilet upstairs. Tons of space and feels homely with their decoration. Hammock is great for lounging on the balcony. The small pool in the villa is not large enough to swim in but good to cool off in. We ordered food from Dini beach bar & restaurant as room service which is the sister restaurant. Naturally, it's quite expensive although tasty. I would recommend eating there instead as the presentation is much nicer. It's a 6 min walk down, maybe 8 mins up (and very sweaty) depending how much you had to drink and eat as it's also a little steep. They provided a welcome pack of food including seasonal fruits, some milk, bread and spreads which is a nice touch. We also used their service to order some Pandesal, freshly baked to the room at 15php each. Plain and wholewheat (both delicious). Only minor complaints are that we had to request the pool filter to be turned on and it's done manually instead of a timer/switch as lots of debris drops in overnight. I assume this is to reduce noise and electric use at night the when the pool is not used. Staff also seemed to cut through the garden on occasion which may invade privacy. If this was a security patrol then I can kind of understand but a heads up would have been nice in case anyone was showering outside/lounging by the pool. Overall, definitely worth the experience and we would love to come back.…

I can't speak highly of this place. We stayed in Salt Villa at the top of the resort. Jamiaca on the reception was so accommodating from the start of reservations to when we left. The villa has everything you need. Very island style meets contemporary. We stayed as a family of 5 and our children could spread out, swim and not be too noisy. Salt Villa has serious the best view! Diniview bar and restaurant is such a place having it close by. Also great having a discount to eat there. Julie the owner made herself very available to chat and generally feel so welcome. My only wish and it's very much nothing is that the hot water would lost a little longer but that is island living for you. I would highly recommend this place. Nothing was too much trouble. Even getting rid of bugs this city girl hated. hehe thanks for everything.…

It's difficult to know where to begin; every aspect of our stay was excellent. The villa was very well appointed with everything we needed. We intended to cook meals there but the restaurant food was so good and reasonably priced that we never got around to it. Julia and her team were genuinely and sincerely welcoming and caring. The views were fantastic and all of the villas seamlessly blended into the natural surroundings. We'll never forget the sunsets! We recommend the Diniview unconditionally and will definitely be returning!

We came to Boracay after quite an ordeal from Romblon Romblon (bangka boat to Tablas, van ride to Odiongan, night ferry to Caticlan and finally short boat ride to Boracay). We took an e-trike to the Diniview area of thr island which cost us 300php and took us a good 15 minutes to get there. Since we came around 10 am and check in is at 2 pm our villa of course wasn't ready yet. They were so nice to speed up the process and invited us to check in at noon while we went to long overdue breakfast at D'mall area at station 2. As we had found out the Swedish lady that owns the resort is also owner of the Limonei cafe. And it shows, the settings are perfect and the food is just soo yummy. We rented the Moon Villa which is huge and easily fitted all 5 of us. We also received a complimentary breakfast for first day (juices, jam, butter, fruits, bead, coffee). The Villa has all the amenities you need for cooking if you wish to do it yourself. We just went out for our meals since the options are really immense on Boracay. The trike is 250 php per way to D'mall area or you can just walk on the beach which will take you around 45 min per way. The villa has a nice porch overlooking the Diniview area, two sunbeds and a hammock. It has two bathrooms one on each floor since the two bedrooms are downstairs. The resort also has a pool where our kids had lots of fun while we had our cold beer with the views over the bay. The location is really great since it is away from all the noise and hustle of station 2 or 3 area so you can easily relax after day trips. This place is so amazing and easy to grade so we give it 5 stars hands down.…

The Villas were nestled in lush Tropical vegetations over looking the white Diniwid beach in Boracay away from the noisy crowded White Beach crowd. Very relaxing view and fresh cool breeze. Rooms are nice and well maintained and services by the staff were very prompt and very Good. Will stay again in My next Boracay trip.

We had the most magnificent 10 days here. The Villa is beautifully surrounded by a tropical jungle with amazing views of the ocean. The sunsets are AMAZING! Julia and her Team are extremely helpful and friendly. A peaceful haven on the beautiful Island of Boracay. We highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

Friendly staffs. Nice villa with breathtaking ocean and mountain view. Complete kitchen utensils to prepare own food. Had the best yoga experience with teacher Louise! 🧘♂️🙏🏻 very professional yet connects with you in a personal level! She took the time to share with us knowledge on why we should practice yoga and how to stay mindful both during and outside of the practice. A must try even for newbies!

This was our second stay and it will certainly not going to be the last. The villas are situated on a cliff with the views of either white beach or diniwind. Offering excellent sea views whichever villa you stay in. The check in process, even with the new protocols were seamless and quick. The villa is very comfortable, having a lot of living spaces and designed for outdoor indoor living. If you want to go down to the beach, there is a path from the villas leading to Diniwind beach, which is perfect place for viewing the sunset while having cocktails from Dinibar which is also owned by Diniview. There are a lot of good resorts on the island but the beauty of Diniview is waking up and all you hear are the either the birds, the waves from the ocean or the rustling of the leaves from the wind, the tranquility is hard to find in the huge resorts in station 1,2&3. For food, you could cook your own meals as the villa is equipped with a kitchen and the resort offers shopping service for ingredients. If you want to order in, Lemon cafe has excellent breakfast selection and other restaurants also deliver. Lastly the housekeeping team is the best. We would come home to the villa everyday and it would be spotless.…
