    spacious and well ventilated room, excellent location. I like the turtle arts in receiving area. Beach front. Kind staff. If you are looking for perfect serenity… this is a perfect place to be.

    The quality of the room could have dictated a lower price. Breakfast should be earlier (they start at 8am), Internet could be improved. StarLink could solve that issue easily.

    It had the best view! Easy access to the ocean and very quiet. The staff were amazing! They deserve a raise.

    Looks like a place has its best time behind. Really nice and big property, but everything is falling apart. It looks like the last renovation was done years ago and for now the place lost the glow .

    There is beautiful garden with the access to super nice swimming waters. Quiet and nice surroundings. Great and helpful stuff. Very nice host.

    The room and bathroom was not comfortable. The mattress was so thin, the bathroom though clean was so simple with plastic handles you wonder if they ever disinfected them.

    We brought our own breakfast and rbey offered to cook for us which was good service.

    This beautiful place we stumbled across and fell in love. Based on the sea front with stunning views, excellent accommodation with snorkelling and breath taking sunsets. The owner and his team are so helpful and accommodating. We stayed few nights to enjoying snorkelling, excursions, good eating at the restaurant onsite you never have to leave as they have a tuck shop which have a selection of cupboard items. Should wish to go somewhere they can arrange transport. They offer rental for snorkelling and laundry service. would highly recommend a visit

    When we arrived at the resort and checked in we were told our room did not have air conditioning and that it would be an additional 400php per night yet when we got to our room there was an air conditioner in it. The property seems a bit run down, not sure if this is the aftermath of the Covid pandemic but it could use a good clean up around the property and some of the garden areas.

    The property had a beautiful oceanfront area!! Great for swimming and snorkelling. We liked that it was away from the town area of Moalboal. But if you are looking to be in the heart of the hustle and bustle then this is not the place for you. Breakfast was also very good here!!

    I don't think I will recommend it to a friend since the place was not budget friendly.

    The beach was terrible it was all stony and lots of floating objects. I was also surprised because on the facility note included at booking.com the room we booked includes air-conditioned however when we arrived at the place to our surprise, we were told that the room is no longer air-conditioned because it was under construction or something. We had to pay additional Php 300 to be transferred to an air-conditioned room, the room we were transferred was substandard the ceiling light was not functioning at all, and the room was very dusty. The food and soft drinks were also very expensive. The 8oz coke cost PHP 65. bottled mineral water 500ml was PHP 60, a cup of rice is PHP 60, shampoo and conditioner sachet were PHP 15 each. Everything in the resort we're all I think overpriced and expensive. Most of the guest had to go outside the town to get a food on their own because the Menu was expensive. Although the place was chill and private it's not budget friendly.

    The staff were warm and very nice. They were very friendly and accommodating. One of the staff was also very considerate and apologetic because the room we were transferred had a lightbulb that was damaged. Overall, the staff were nice it's just that the female owner was kinda strict and not really warm compared to the other staff.

    green oasis in a crazy quiet place straight upfront the sea with cosy hammocks and beach access

    Stefan's accomodation is a really nice and quiet place in a nicely arranged green oasis. If you want to get away from party, fine dining, highspeed-internet, rush and noise - this is your place! Bring some books and many thoughts - and you will find many hammocks and sitting/chilling possibilities under palm trees, next to a nice green pont. Direct sea access and nice sitting possibilities straight at the sea. Very safe place as there is a special and friendly night watch expert around round the clock. Rooms are simple but cosy with fan and if you want little AC. Bathroom very basic but this is just normal here. There's a reeeeally nice and cosy and friendly restaurant at the street - only 10min walking away.

    This property is grossly misrepresented and over priced

    This property is grossly misrepresented on Booking.com. and advertised as a 3 star property. The reality is 1.5 star, it is run down, very outdated and basic. Despite offering an array of amenities, very few existed in reality. The property is very poorly maintained, unhygienic and the flooring in the reception area is unsafe. I travelled with my son who is differently abled and has strict food requirements, I booked the room with a kitchen at the cost of $100US a day so he could cook his own meals. There is obviously an expectation that a room costing $100US in the Philippines would be clean, useable and as described. There was no stove, no cutlery, no bowls or cleaning products. I had to ask for dish soap and ended up buying my own. I was told that the restaurant was also closed that day because the cook went home. My son lived on canned tuna and instant noodles. Not exactly the beach side holiday we had in mind. Staffing could be described as informal at best, as there were different people around everyday and it was unclear who actually worked there. Despite staying a week, the room was never serviced, we used 2 thin towels for a week. There were holes in the fly screens, the batteries in the room safe were rusty which means it didn’t work, the table cloths on outdoor furniture were full of holes, dirty and never changed. The buildings showed badly repaired damage with birds flying around in the exposed roof cavity.

    Near the beach, quiet area.
