The Wild Orchid Resort - Moalboal

Wunderschöne Lage am Meer, sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, leckeres Essen

Everything was spectacular, specially the staff at the kitchen, they are very helpful and kind. We went diving with Manuel and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Absolutely love this place. We extended our stay as it’s exactly what we’ve been looking for. Very peaceful, ultra friendly and great facilities. It’s a little out of town but that’s what makes it more special

Nothing

The quiet location

The bed and pillows are very uncomfortable. The giant king sized bed is built-in and squeezed into the wall so one person doesn’t have walking space and need to go around the other person or exit at the bottom of the bed. The mosquito net didn’t seem to serve a purpose. I had neck and back pains after staying for 3 nights. The bathroom is big but the configuration is very poor. You can literally sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time. Room cleaning was late. We did our fun dives in the morning and we got back around noon to an untouched room. The cleaning crew knocked around 3-4 pm to clean but we said no since it was raining and we wanted to stay indoors. The hotel wasn’t busy that time. We saw some staff sitting and sleeping in guest rooms that they were cleaning. The pool looked dirty. The food quality was below average but the price is above average. The road leading to the hotel is unpaved and very rocky. The two Caucasian staffers at the front desk were not the friendliest and as managers, they need to train their staff more. One of them forgot to arrange transportation we asked for and almost made us miss our scuba diving. The kitchen and front desk doesn’t open until 8 am so you can’t get breakfast if you need to leave early. The only option is to order sandwiches during dinner and they’ll refrigerate it for you to get the next day. They don’t accept credit cards which is super extraordinarily inconvenient. However, the options for nice, quality hotels in Moalboal are very limited. The hotels by the sardine run (Panagsama beach) are even worse. You can do the canyoneering 1 day, then Oslob the next day so you just need 1 night in Moalboal. This hotel is ok for 1 night. Any longer than that, I’d rather stay in Mactan, Cebu or at Sumilon Island in Oslob and do day trips to Moalboal.
