Our beautiful, private, seaside resort accommodation is tucked away in a secluded corner of Mac Payong, just 30 meters from the 2km White Beach. Just a short drive away from Moalboal and Panagsama, it offers a quiet, idyllic setting for your holiday. The location couldn't get any better for diving as one of the best reefs in the area is directly in front of your ocean view room. The reef is perfect for beginner divers, and also for snorkelers. However the step walls make an exhilarating dive for seasoned advanced divers. The resort's architecture is a blend of Mediterranean and native styles incorporating local stone and thatched roof with white arches and Spanish tiles. Each room has either a large arched doorway or huge glass sliding doors to provide guests with amazing ocean views. Fall asleep after a hard day's dive to the sound of gentle waves and the wind gently blowing through the yucca trees. Office hours: 8am to 8pm Email to arrange airport pickup with a minimum of 24 hour notice. Check -ins are to be arranged in advance if past or before normal office hours.

This place came highly recommended by a friend, now I know why… The grounds are far enough from the noise of Moalboal town, but still within a short enough distance to travel into everyday, just as I did on scooter. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable and the air-con was strong enough to fill the large room we stayed in. Snorkelling the house reef also far exceeded my expectations, the coral is a mix of hard & soft and on our very first snorkel, just opposite the resort by the drop off, we saw a group of four eagle rays, numerous turtles, juvenile catfish, a banded sea snake and many groups of colourful ateliers. The vis was good most mornings and during low tide the drop off is relatively easy to reach via a slabbed path. The dive shop is well equipped and the DM, Norman, is super nice and an excellent macro spotter. Even though I visited this place during Covid and was the only diver, they were still flexible with locations and I could dive whenever I wanted. The restaurant was pre-order only during my stay because of the limited people staying due to Covid, however this was not a negative as they have an arrangement with the restaurant next to them, of which serves excellent food. I can recommend the pizza and calamari, It was some of the best I’ve had. The prices are also reasonable given the quality, service and surroundings. Above all, the owner and staff really made this a special stay, all were friendly, helpful and accommodating. They even brought us dinner to our room on several occasions. I will be definitely coming back again soon.…

It's a beautiful resort far from all the crowds of Cebu. The rooms are nice and spacious. The availability of snorkeling gear was a major plus point. The beach was barely a few steps from our room and perfect for snorkeling. Since we were new to snorkeling, some of the hotel staff gave us basic training and we turned pro in a couple of hours :) Thanks to whoever came up with the citrusy welcome drink, it was such a requirement after being stuck in traffic and reaching the hotel after 6 hours drive from the airport. We requested another glass and was graciously obliged. The resort is slightly far from the market and crowd, you'll need a tuk-tuk or your own vehicle every time you want to go out.

We arrived fresh out of the city with 2 families, and a small entourage after being locked inside for 6 months due to Covid. The staff and owner welcomed us and were extremely accommodating, even making some last-minute adjustments to our booking to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. The resort has a beautiful swimming pool, and is surrounded in trees, giving it a very natural appeal. There is a small beach with a wonderful sea view. You can walk 5 or 10 mins to White beach via the beach. Although the kitchen was closed, we were able to cook for ourselves which suited us perfectly. This resort is ideal for a family or couples. The Internet was a little spotty, but so is most of the Moalboal area. It's a little far from the main town center, but that was fine with us. Will definitely stay again.…

I had a tough time choosing which hotel to stay in the area and I'm so happy I picked this one. Its one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I love how there is a bit of a backpacker vibe to the place but at the same time so comfortable and has the luxuries of a honeymoon suite (which we got upgraded to; which is like a stunning apartment with its own private rooftop veranda and living area with big tv) and a massage area with a view of the ocean. We loved the food there, great menu of British and Filipino dishes and lots of cocktails to choose from. They can book local trips for you, we went diving and snorkelling which was a great day and they can arrange taxis to anywhere you want. We came just in time in March 2020 and it was very quiet then so I hope business there is still ticking over; once the pandemic is through I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Moalboal is a beautiful place to be and just a couple of hours from Oslob where we went snorkelling with whales sharks and approx 3 hours from the airport but it was a great drive to and from Cebu with lots to see. …
