The facilities and rooms are run down and require an update. Stay in the room at poolside but the curtain is too thin, so there is light into the room all night.
Pillows are uncomfortable.

Big room. Not the best wifi in the room. Liked they had a bar and food at the hotel and they accepted credit card as payment. Would stay here again. No elevator, but they are great to help with the luggage.

The pool is good here and that’s about it (however it is pretty dirty at times). When we checked in we did not have any basic amenities such as soap or even towels. We had to walk to reception 3 times for towels, and were told “we’ll bring them to the room” but they never came. Our room was not cleaned for the 3 nights we stayed here. The bathroom floods and our toilet stopped working. We have stayed in a lot of hotels in Asia and this was by far the worst (and also one of the more expensive)

I don't know how this place got such a good rating. Don't stay here- brown water coming out of the sink, the worst beds like a prison, can't even sit on the toilet since the seat can't support weight. This would be a horribly rated hostel- do not stay here. Left early and for 1/2 the price stayed at Marco Polo Plaza in Cebu - way better. Jails in America are nicer than this

Family Holiday in a Family run Hotel

We stayed with our extended family and a person with a disability. The staff are very accommodating. On two occasions we had to leave early for activity and because it was too early for breakfast service, we are provided with other breakfast alternatives. Thank you to the kitchen staff, especially to Joe Marie and Julius.

Check in was smooth and so was check out. The room was clean with a minimum of crawly creatures, but hey its the tropics right? Wi-fi was fast. The free breakfast was egg..lunch meat ham..toast..coffee. I would stay at moalboal tropics again

The swimming pool was great to dip-in especially coming from a long trip. However, the rooms were disappointing. We booked for 3 rooms and one of the room's aircon was not working well. We initially thought that it maybe because we just arrived (around 5-6pm) and it needed time to cool our room so we enjoyed the pool first. By 10pm, my father-in-law who went up earlier was looking for any staff as the airconditioning unit was not working properly and the kids could not sleep as they were all sweating (we were still by the pool at this time). The staff was reluctant to transfer us to new rooms as front office was closed already. We were transferred into 2 different rooms as they do not have available room for 6 already. Surprisingly, the aircons at these units were not functioning as well but way better than our initial room. We thought that it was just normal but the other rooms that we have booked were great except that one of the room's shower was not working and they had to use the bidet for showr. We were told that we cannot use the new room's facilities as we will be charged for additional room so we opted to go back to our original room by morning and everybody was sweating as well as our kids while waiting for our checkout time.

I reserved one queen bed they gave us two. The showers were weak in power but hot and steamy. The place was quiet at night despite the bar on the premises. I have issues with roosters trying to wake me up. I use ear plugs but they didn’t work enough in Oslob. Perhaps I was tired. But not problems. Trike guys are the best guides. Don’t pay for the tours. The reefs were decimated by typhoon Odette so there is not much to look at. Canyoneering is fun though. And it’s the only way to see the upper falls of Kawasan.

Nice and clean, friendly and helpful !

Staff is very helpful, polite and friendly. The swimming pool is great, the rooms are nice and clean, aircon worked fine, they even upgraded our room, as we were 4 instead of 3 people. One thing they could enhance is have more toasters at breakfast, and maybe a little more choicee, also it would be great if they’d install e-fans around the food, to keep flies away. Great stay overall. Thanks! :-)

Grim hotel

The hotel was very dated and grim. When making up the room, we did not receive new toilet paper. We were asked to move rooms with no reason after our first night. No one helped us move our bags. The breakfast that was included was so gross, we elected not to eat it.

The whole reason we stayed here was for the pool, which was “out of order”. Such a shame when the two children had never swam in a pool. The breakfast non existent. If your not the first to eat there isn’t any food left and the staff doesn’t seem to care if the guests eat or not even though it’s part of the room rate. The hotel is clean but no hot water.

Great value, nice pool....but chaotic book in !!

Well didn't start to well, as they had no knowledge of my booking. Booking in is very chaotic....and I would recommend getting there as soon as possible, as they don't seem to have any system. However I would say it is a great value hotel. The room, when they found me one was very spacious and clean. the staff were friendly and you can book all trips from there at a good price. they have a nice large pool, which is good for taking a dip in, the afternoon, if you have been out on the trips.
