The Sea Turtle Resort offered a quiet peaceful setting on the ocean with a great staff. It was a scenic scooter ride into town through the country side where Moalboal awaited with plenty of restaurants, beach and bars.

The owner does not care about you. He canceled my reservation so he could give to someone at a hire price. The staff was very nice. You have to pay for AC. There is no WiFi. The place is completely run down. Go somewhere else. The Swiss owner is An A***.

I had a lovely stay at the Sea turtle house! The property has a calm and relaxing vibe, close to white beach and about 10-15 min motorbike ride to Panagsama. The family is very welcoming and wonderful, and Kim who was my tour guide for my excusions was very kind, attentive and accommodating to my needs. I would love to visit again!

No electricity when we arrived, the shower didn’t work, the WiFi was non-existent. We were at the mercy of the hosts for a car or tuk tuk ride everywhere. The “food” onsite was unedible. The hosts were only interested in upselling tours or rides. When I queried the rate we had paid with Hotels.com I was given the brush off but local places were one fifth of what we paid. We requested a refund but got nothing back. We left after one miserable night. We came for the snorkelling but the current was too strong onsite. Utterly disappointing. Do not go there.

Worse experience ever...
when we arrived only, hotel told us the room booked and paid was not available. I had to insist for them to even look around for equivalent stay, which they could not find.
Hotel had plenty of tile BEFORE my arrival to warn me to find another hotel, and did not bother to do so...
i had to find myself another hotel, last minute, resulting me to pay for a taxi to find a new place, and very expenvive new room 10 km away from original stay location.
this is worse travel experience I ever had over last 40 years.

Det är lite stenig botten men en vacker plats vid solnedgång.
Resorten tar 200 peso för att låna cyklop och snorkel.
Kaffe och vatten gratis
Personalen trevlig och hjälpsam

Hotellet er simpelt med rigtig hyggeligt. Det er familiedrevet, og de er virkelig søde og hjælpsomme med alt fra transport frem og tilbage, rejsedestinationer og mad i restauranten. Maden er hjemmelavet og lokalt, og det kan kun anbefales.
Jeg er meget positiv og det er et sted med sjæl, varme og ro til at slappe af.

Trop Top pour le snorkeling à 3 mn de nage vous êtes au milieu de centaines de poissons de toutes les couleurs, de tortues et de magnifiques coraux pas de courant
L amabilité du personnel est top
La chambre est propre, un placard pour poser ses habits ( loin d’être le cas )
Tout ça compense très très largement la salle de bain minimaliste mais avec de l eau chaude
Si je reviens à Moalboal je reviendrai sans pb

The bathroom is dirty, smelly and the room is dark and uncomfortable. We wanted to check out the very moment we got in the room plus no available wifi in the room, the owner is not pleasant and very nasty plus there are a lot of mosquitos.
We will not use the property in the future not to be recommended to friends.

Sea turtle needs help
I believe that this hotel in its hey day was well worth every penny but today isn’t that day. The restroom has a pungent urine smell that lingered our entire stay. The towels were made out of some type of material that doesn’t absorb water making it difficult to dry off after a shower. I recommend that the bed be replaced as they offer no comfort and you are basically sleeping on the frame. I would recommend you buying your own snorkel gear/ life jackets as they don’t have enough to accommodate the hotel. To add to that the the snorkel gear is full of mold and needs to be replaced. They require you to pay a deposit fee (1,000 pesos) to maintain the equipment when they clearly don’t maintain anything. They also posted terroist sign to deter you from booking tours with outside agents to keep the money in-house. I also see no reason to place political pictures in your hotel ESPECIALLY when your nationality is far from the USA. We loved the location as it is very quiet and peaceful but so many factors deter my family from visiting the hotel again. STAY AWAY

A very friedly and quiet place. Great snorkling just outside with colorfull fish and sea turtles. The restaurant serves very good food and the owners and the staff is helpfull and nice to speak with. You feel like home.
It's easy to book divingtrips and all of the other tours Moalboal can offer.
If you also want to spend time in places with more action, it's easy to rent a motorbike ore hire a tricycle.
