Disliked: No aircon but that is what we paid for, can't really complain.

Liked: It was very close to the ocean for swimming/snorkelling - almost out the front door. The owners Torsten and Mary Ann were very friendly, accomodating and helpful. Lowest price on the beach, especially when you consider the self service kitchen(skip the expensive restaraunt food)!

Disliked: Nothing really - it was an excellent value for the money and close to the water. I enjoyed my stay!

25 December 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Extremely helpful and friendly staff. The hosts Mary Ann and Torsten give us good advice what to do and where and how to get there :-) (thx again). Very clean and value for money. Moalboal usually has only small resorts and is also not overrun by tourists. Very chilled place with nice bars to hangout.The only problem here was that there is no ATM in town. You should withdraw money in Cebu before traveling to Moalboal.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
