Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 435 reviews
In Symbiosis with the Reef. Experience nature and well-being in harmony with the reef, in line with preserving the environment above and under water. That is our goal! A 5* boutique resort? Yes and now, it's Dolphin House! Our bungalows are at a good international 4* level, our aspirations in terms of cuisine, the dive center and Eco-tourism ambitions at minimal impact can be placed at a far superior level. We do not have rooms with sea view... because we do not want to ruin our beach opening. Only the restaurant and the dive centre are located directly by the sea. At the beach front, you will find plenty of loungers and little huts, "Tea Houses", slightly elevated, right in the shade of palm trees and greenery with a stunning view over the ocean.
A small piece of paradise!
Reviewed By GlobetrottingrommetsWe stayed here as a family of five and had a great stay! Its a fantastic location right on the beach with an island cottage vibe throughout the hotel. The staff were lovely and always happy to help and arranging transport / tuktuks was super easy. The only thing we struggled with a little was the dinner menu for the kids as our kids are fussy eaters and wont eat certain foods, so we often ordered off the lunch menu for 5pm (cutoff time) or headed into town. But understandable for a small resort the smaller options. Otherwise breakfast was lovely and the Easter bbq dinner was delicious! Thanks so much Rudy and the team, we highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Moalboal. Its defnitley the best on the island!

Away from the masses, you'll have a wonderful stay in one of our ten cottages. Enjoy a great dinner in our restaurant or have a drink on our terrace with its magnificent view of Pescador Island.
Best Ever
Reviewed By joelb307If you want a great vacation for diving you can't beat Magic Island. Great resort and dive experience. It is a small intimate experience. I have been diving since 1979 and haven't had a better experience. There were 12 of us traveling and diving together. I would highly recommend this experience.

Value for money stay with beautiful views
Reviewed By AagaalThe property is located at a very beautiful location and you can snorkel directly from the it. The staff is friendly with very homely feel to overall stay. Although, go with very low expectation in terms of room and amenities. Fan in our room didn't work for 2 days and no one really cared to fix it. You need to pay extra for AC. Food is OK and there are better options if you are willing to go to town center. The place also allows you to rent snorkelling gear, life vest etc which is convenient especially if you are planning for Sardine run. Wifi is very slow and not available in rooms. Overall value for money stay with basic amenities.

Cozy & Budget Friendly
Reviewed By James HThe place is cozy and very great for friends going out for a vacation. Very friendly staff as well. It's located in the busiest place in Panagsama, unfortunately during our visit - CoVID was still present. But still, overall the place is relaxing.

Loved the balcony room!
Reviewed By emconway1We had the most lovely 2 nights here in the balcony room! It's close to many restaurants, serves the biggest omlettes for breakfast, you can snorkle from the stairs outside your room and we saw a turtle within 2 mins of getting in the water! It was so relaxing to sit on the balcony and watch for turtles surfacing for air (hard to spot!). The ladies who ran the place were so lovely and accommodating! When the power went out in the whole town, they gave us buckets of fresh water to shower (as it usually relies on power) and candles for our room, luckily the power was not out for long but so good to have this kind of service. This was our favourite place to stay in the Philippines!

Great resort near Pagnasama Beach
Reviewed By mel9661I stayed here as it was the location for a Filipino Martial Arts training camp. It was the perfect location not only for the camp but also for its amenities, hospitality, location and price. We arrived late at night, after midnight, and a security guard let us into our rooms. I shared a Family room with two queen beds with one of my students. The room was so large that we both had a lot of privacy. The air conditioner was a little loud, but other than that it was very comfortable. Only thing is wish is that they had wifi in the rooms. The daily complimentary breakfasts were good. They offered both Filipino and American. What we really enjoyed with their Davao brewed coffee. It was the best coffee we drank throughout our entire trip. The dinner selections were also very good. The open-air dining area was very clean and nice. Service was efficient and friendly . The resort offered a big clean pool, billiard table, lounge chairs and help with tours or renting motor bikes. It was was about 1 mile from busy Pagnasama Beach. This was a good round trip jog for me in the mornings. Along the way I would see normal life among the local residents. All n all I would come back here again.

Great Ambiance and View
Reviewed By lawrence071489If you are looking for a pet friendly resort in Moalboal this is a place that i can recommend. Giving it 4 stars though because of the WIFI and location? They have a wifi but its really notnworking. You can use Data outside the room though (no signal in the room) . Location wise it is far from the happenings in Moalboal but if ylu just plan to stay to relax then this is the place for you. They have a big lawn where your dog can run to, the view is just superb ?. They also have good amenities: yoga place, gym, pool , 24hrs lobby , free use of fridge (no fridge in the room). Staff are very accomodating and frienly. They have a restaurant here and theres a near restaurant in the place where you can order and have it delivered to the resort for free. Room is very clean and spacious. They only have 2 pillows though that are very thin and blankets are thin as well but overall plave is really good. Will recommend

Located in Tongo Moalbaol,1 minute walk to the shoreline with quiet coves. 5min. with bicycle/motorbike 25min.walk along the shoreline to Panagsamabeach (daytime/low tide only). Free continental breakfast ( jam, honey, homemade herb butter, brewed coffee and tea) Innercourtyard garden, terrace.
Amazing food and beaut bungalows!
Reviewed By jazifizAbsolutely loved it. Had eaten here on our last visit to Moalboal and came back to stay for two nights this time. The food was delicious as always - super fresh herbs and vegetables from the garden, with all sorts of international meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. The bungalows are super charming with a swing and cushions on each front porch, and a very tropical outdoor bathroom. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Kiko and to the staff

Nice resort but the customer isn't king
Reviewed By Travelcrazy013A European/Filipino couple built themselves a dream house I guess and added a building (another is under construction) to rent out to tourists, behind their house. So the main house with the ocean view is theirs. The building for tourists has the very left room (standing in front of the building) where you can see the sea in the distance. The room was very nice, clean, with a fridge, AC, made up every day except on the last day, fresh towels and the electric shower was good too. The restaurant/bar sits on the waterfront and it's a very nice view when you eat. Included American Breakfast was the same every day but we didn't mind as it was filling and a good start for the day. The food was always freshly cooked, very good and well priced. The Filipino staff were very nice. The resort is out of the way but you can walk to Pangsama Beach and the village in 30 min. Just take a torch at night. The shore is rocky and you can't walk along it, maybe a bit during low tide. The snorkelling on the house reef is great. Use the pier to get to the deep end during low tide. Our stay would have been a nice quiet experience if it wasn't for the owners' local Western friends that stopped by every afternoon around 5pm and hang out in the restaurant, being very noisy, embarrassingly stereotype and not using the nicest language (TMI). They also hung out in the water sometimes with a surfboard full of drinks (El Arenal, Mallorca style or the kind of Westerns that go to Phuket). If they want the music turned up in the bar, that's what happens. The guests don't matter. Therefore quiet you can have before 5pm but not from then on. As I don't want to associate with such people I wouldn't come back here. The room internet was very slow in the evening although only 3 rooms used it.
10. Pawikan Resort

"Pawikan" is called sea turtle. Each star in the logo stands for 1 out of a total of 7 species in the world. At the Pawikan Resort, you can see water turtles in the garden and snorkel and dive every set of sea turtles in front of our house reef.
New clean rooms
Reviewed By Raven5645The rooms were new and clean. The hotel is difficult to find and a bit away from Panagsama beach. Breakfast is included, nothing special but ok. There was some construction going on in the hotel. Loud dogs and roosters at night. Not bad for par days.
