Hale Manna Coastal Gardens

We like how serene the place is! All staff are very accommodating and friendly. Lucky that we encountered huge sea turtles in our swimming. Will definitely come back and bring along our friends and relatives. Til next, Hale Manna!

Wonderful secluded resort which suited our family. Calm and nice resort with beautiful snorkling.

This is a nice quaint property with gorgeous grounds and ocean view. The only downside is the limestone shoreline isn’t the most inviting but it doesn’t take away from the ambiance of the property in its entirety. The staff was very kind and accommodating and they can be seen maintaining the garden daily. It’s an energy focused property with a focus on conservation. You can even do water activities for free (I didn’t take advantage because I had tours plans) which is nice. It is secluded and quiet which I loved and just 20 minute tricycle ride to Panagsama. So it’s a great option if you want to be away from it all. The only sounds are those from nature. I had to leave early to catch a flight and the staff was kind enough to pack a fruit breakfast to go for me. I was very appreciative and would most definitely stay here again.

I stayed at Hale Manna for a couple of nights as a part of our friends' wedding after-party/trip. The grounds and scenery are breathtaking. The staff is very accommodating. They offer massages on the beach and in the rooms; my husband and I opted for in-room and we agreed the massages were terrific. The individual bungalows were cozy and charming. They only have one restaurant but the menu offered a wide variety of food, ranging from Filipino dishes to pasta to pizza. The ice cream freezer was well stocked with Magnum popsicles, Cornetto, and other goodies. The beach at low tide revealed dozens of tide pools where we found snails and hermit crabs. I had the pool all to myself on our last day, but even when there were other people in the pool it never felt crowded. This is seriously a slice of heaven on earth!

The road leading to the hotel may be a bit bumpy but it's all worth it. I never expected for the place to be breathtaking. We were looking for an escape from the urban noise and Hale Manna didn't fail us. The staff is very warm and truly respected our privacy as a non-conventional couple. We can't wait to be back. Thanks Liana and team!

Came here with family and it felt like we were staying somewhere from a storybook. The road to get there is a little bumpy at the end but so worth it. The staff were so lovely and friendly. Rooms immaculately clean with drinking water provided in the room. Aircon was awesome. As soon as you arrive, you’re enveloped by a huge sense of calm. We went snorkeling and saw 2 turtles within the first 30 mins. My favorite moment was falling asleep to the sound of waves in one of the beach huts and then enjoying a bonfire before dinner set by the water. Sunset was also so beautiful. Can’t wait to be back and highly recommend Hale Manna to everyone coming to Moalboal if you’re looking for a peaceful and gorgeous date with Mother Nature. Thank you, Hale Manna team 🥰

It was my first time here and I could say we made the right decision. With its lush green gardens, great food and amazing staff, our stay was a very refreshing one. We didn't want to go back to the city.

Stayed here for 4D/3N and really enjoyed ourselves! We were in Ohana 1 (seaside hut) and we had our own private beach hut but we rarely used it because we just liked hanging out in our veranda... in fact we took most of our meals here! Staff was super nice, friendly and accommodating. The intercom to buzz the front desk took a bit getting used to, but it was helpful. Our room was super spacious and well-appointed. We loved that the ref wasn't one of those useless bar refs but was in fact a real mini-ref (with separate freezer) and we appreciated that we could just buy a bag of ice for P120 to use during our stay. Also loved that the toilet has a bidet. Water pressure was strong and hot water came on quickly. We also loved these other features: split-type aircon, lots of surfaces to put your stuff on, multi-plug on the table (to charge our many devices). We were just planning to indulge in the resort, but the staff suggested that we go for the Sardine run and omg best suggestion ever!! Ryan fetched us on his scooter and took amazing videos of our experience (using his GoPro Hero 9, which we were thankful for because we didn't pack an underwater camera). They also rented out graded masks for the Sardine run and they should make this a standard for all places! Snorkeling in front of Hale Manna was good too! Rent of Snorkeling gear is free (alas no graded masks). Tip: just hang out by the floating raft of the resort. There's already a small group of sardines there and lots of other marine life! The corals were damaged during Odette, but it looks like it's recovering. Would definitely come back here again for some r&r!
