Hotel Moalboal dengan Bar

When we arrived, there was a group of ants having a meeting in the restroom. I’m not sure what the sticky-looking liquid they were investigating was. There were also ants on the door and in the bed. There was no tissue in the room as well. However, the housekeeping staff took action immediately after we called. I just hope they can improve their preparation and inspection of the room before guests arrive. The air conditioner was also not cold. On the positive side, the food was unexpectedly delicious. It was served in our room, and to my surprise, we were allowed to eat inside the room. Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why there were ants around. The service and generosity of the staff were extremely good. Overall, despite the issues, our stay was still good.

The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants, sea shore and many dive and activity places yet away from the main crowded areas. We stayed in a twin room and a family room. The twin room's facilities were good with convenient storage space with in the room and the bathroom. The bathroom was super clean and spacious. The room was very clean and comfortable with good air conditioning, the fan was very noisy though.  The family room was had a little bit more ”worn out” feel with less storage space for the clothes and none in the (small) bathroom. Fortunately we were only two persons staying in that room, it would have been more difficult to comfortably accommodate 4 persons in this room. The room and bathroom were clean, the AC efficient (noisy fan here as well).  The breakfast options were simple but ok, convenient for a quick breakfast before you go to activities. There are plenty of other options available around though. We did not try the restaurant for lunch or diner. 

1000% recommend. Probably one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. I booked an extra day when I was there as it was so chill and easy to relax in. Dorm rooms and showers was super clean and comfortable. Every staff member was so lovely and welcoming and easy to talk to and always went out of their way to help you. They also know people by name which is so nice when there is so many guests, just such a family friendly vibe. The pool and swim up bar was a plus. Free tea, coffee and a water dispenser available all day. Thank you for such a pleasant stay and hopefully will come back one day!

I can confidently say this is the best hotel in Moalboal, it outperforms other 3-4 star hotels in the area. I know this because I spent my last two nights at another 4-star hotel, which really difference. The location is very good, with restaurants and bars steps away, The prime location puts restaurants and bars within a 5-minute walk, Rooms come fully equipped and impeccably clean, while the staff go above and beyond with their genuinely warm service. As a solo traveler, I particularly appreciated these qualities and would highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling alone.

The hotel is in more private location compared to most resorts in Moalboal. This is a quiet area, with private access to the sea, which is very shallow and easily accessible, particularly during low tide. Resorts itself is nice, the pool was OK, diving also enjoyable, although cylinders were a bit on the empty side. Staff was always very nice. Unfortunately, food was not so good and overpriced, we had much better things to eat in other resorts or in town, which is 10-20 minutes away by tuk tuk.

⸻ Nous devions rester 2 nuits et avons finalement prolongé notre séjour de 3 nuits, preuve que nous nous sentions vraiment bien dans ce resort. Le personnel philippin est exceptionnel : accueillant, souriant et toujours disponible. Le manager est au top, très professionnel, parle plusieurs langues et rien à redire. Lors de notre départ, il y avait même une réceptionniste française, ce qui facilite encore plus la communication. La nourriture est excellente, de très bonne qualité. Elle est un peu plus chère, mais c’est totalement normal vu l’emplacement isolé du resort. Le resort est excentré, l’accès peut être un peu compliqué, mais c’est le prix à payer pour profiter du calme absolu, d’une plage quasi déserte et d’une piscine impeccable. Un scooter peut être loué facilement pour rejoindre les commodités. Je ne comprends pas certains avis négatifs : on ne peut pas vouloir la tranquillité sans accepter l’isolement. 👉 Note : 8/10 👉 Je recommande sans hésiter.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at the Blue Orchid, and it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a  view of the ocean over the treetops. It felt peaceful and private — exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. The staff were exceptional — so friendly, kind, and accommodating. They helped me plan a surprise proposal for my fiancé, offering suggestions for the perfect location and ultimately arranging for us to use their private rooftop. They also coordinated a romantic dinner there just for us, ensuring we had complete privacy. It was an unforgettable evening, and I’m so grateful for the care they put into making it so special. The resort arranged our transportation both from our previous hotel in Mactan and later to Cebu Pier 1, which made travel stress-free. We also booked canyoneering and an introductory scuba dive through them. The instructors were fantastic — very patient and reassuring, especially when I became nervous underwater and couldn’t finish the dive. While the resort is a bit removed from the busier Panagsama Beach area, that was a huge plus for us. We wanted somewhere quiet, scenic, and romantic, and Blue Orchid delivered exactly that. The restaurant doesn’t have a massive menu, but the food was consistently delicious, portions were perfect, and prices were very fair. Even though there wasn’t a kettle in the room, hot water, coffee and tea was readily available and it was never an inconvenience since everything was close by. We also appreciated the mosquito net over the bed — it added to the tropical charm, though we didn’t need it because insects were never an issue. We even spotted a tiny gecko in our room upon arrival, but it was harmless and quickly disappeared — just part of the island’s character! Overall, the Blue Orchid was everything we hoped for: quiet, romantic, and welcoming. The staff helped make one of the most meaningful moments of our lives absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend it, especially to LGBTQ+ travelers looking for a peaceful and genuinely inclusive place to stay in Moalboal. When we do a return trip to the area, we will stay here again. 

Beach accommodation is near the beach. Walking distance to white sea beach which is a public beach. The restaurant and bar is nice for food and drinks during the daytime and at night. To get to most hotels in Moalboal, motor tricycles are used more frequently. Negotiate the price before using the services. Hotel staff is helpful to get things for you in the township if you wish (food or anything) just be nice to give a tip as the travel from hotel to the town is very far. Hotel staff was nice to send me to the bus terminal station when I checked out by motorcycle as I was only a single person. Else ask the staff to make arrangements for traveling out to the township.

Really nice sized pool and sunlounge area considerng this is a budget hotel. I never stay around these hotels much to make the most of the facilities but it's here if you want it. Nice room and very clean. Near the bus stop but a bit of a walk to the ***** where all the bars and restaurants are. Most people have a scooter anyway so you won't get any better for the money they charge here. 8/10

Has a lot of potential. Location is good and staff were helpful in ordering Tuk tuks to the town and organising day trips. Unfortunately our shower kept going cold but they did do their best to sort it.
