Property was quiet and away from main road. Staff was excellent very friendly and polite. Our stay was very relaxing and staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you to Turtle Bay

This is a dive resort with an amazing house reef! Went to pescador island from this resort and snorkelling was better on the house reef. Take a tricycle into town. It’s worth visiting. Food was good and great spot for three nights
4-night trip

8/10

Great amenities, good service, quiet rooms, clean and safe. Good snorkeling right off the property. Reef is starting to deteriorate with hardly any large fish left. The drop off has some of the best snorkeling.

10/10

The place was beautiful and nice and staff are all friendly. However, its not easily accessible to go anywhere else since the resort is far away from the main road. It wouldve been nice if the resort would offer a free shuttle going even to the main road and back.

Had a great time. The property is nice, quite and safe. About 5 minutes to town where there were plenty of dining options.

Turtle Bay Dive Resort exceeded our expectations from the time we checked to our last day! Can’t ask for anything more than its location, friendly staff and homey atmosphere! We highly recommend it to everyone!

Nice mini oasis in a desolate part of Moalboal! Very quiet, clean, and private with knowledgeable staff. Food options are limited but the main area is a 5-10 minute drive or 30 minute walk. Awesome diving for turtles, sardines and bioluminescence.

Overall I felt like this hotel was overpriced for what you got. We stayed in a deluxe room, which was nice. Bed was comfortable. It was too hot and the AC could not keep it cool enough, but they did also have a fan. The shower was only lukewarm, not hot, but not a huge deal as it was so hot. Restaurant was ok. Large breakfast portions were nice. They had a shuttle to the main town for 100 php per person. Laundry was crazy expensive 350php/kg, but it was clean. We appreciated that they arranged a driver for us to go to Osmena Peak and Kawasan Falls for us last minute (was 5000php). We did do 2 dives with the dive shop on site. We had been planning to do more, but were not very impressed with them, so did not do more dives. They didn’t seem eager to have us dive with them (didn't respond to our email ahead of time and didn’t acknowledge us when we went down to the shop to look at the dive sites/schedule and to inquire). However we did still book. The boat was not set up well for diving (no designated spots for tanks and awkward to get ready), but the main reason we didn’t do more dives was because they pushed to get us to jump right away without checking the gear or doing a buddy check. They did let me do my checks after I said I wanted to, but then again tried to get me to jump immediately again the next dive without doing buddy checks. The did have good equipment. The fruit and tea/coffee on the boat was nice. Lastly we did appreciate the free cold water refill stations.

See below. Or above, depending on which review gets published first! Loved the resort, and the diving down at Panagsama (quick mention for Kuya Divers) so I extended my stay for 3 more nights.

I stayed here with my mom to go diving. The diving was wonderful tons of fish, coral, and turtles! The hotel room was wonderful and had a huge balcony. My mom doesn’t dive so she just relaxed by the pool. The diving crew was great at finding and pointing out sealife. My mom did a Discover Scuba off the house reef and was so excited that she saw Turtles and told everyone about it to everyone she knew!

Diving was well engineered and Dive Masters were excellent! I had a torn Bicep and they insured my safety on entry and exit

10/10

Located on the serene beautiful Turtle Bay, away from the noisy very overcrowded tourist ghetto around the sardine Panagsma beach. Good snorkeling and diving gear available. Nice pool. Comfortable room. Some beautiful reef fishes, and many snorkelers see turtles after 4:30 pm. Not a sandy beach, but nice areas to sit and enjoy the views and sunsets. Rides into town are 100 Philippine pesos p/p. Breakfast good , bar on premise, and easy walk to JG's Grill for very good dinner

We had to move one to aother room for some reason. A room with seaview was nice having terrace and all electronics were functioned but the other room near swimming pool has no terrace and TV connection was not seamless, airconditioner is uncontrollable. Windows were facing public so could not open them.
2-night trip

10/10

We loved our stay there because of the access to the coral reef right at the back of the property. We would spent hours snorkeling as the reef is amazing (when you get to the wall on the deeper side you can see plenty of turtles), and even did a discovery dive which was brilliant (a bit expensive though but it was with the hotel). The room was a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast was lovely, and the restaurant had nice food. It's a bit further away from town so you always need to take a tricycle to do anything else than snorkeling (200 pesos for 2 one way).

10/10

I never write reviews but could not help myself after staying here. We loved our time staying at Turtle Bay!! The food was delicious and the diving was incredible but what stood out most of all was the hospitality of the staff. This family ran resort really house above and beyond to make you feel at home. The staff makes an effort to remember your name and they are sooo helpful with any questions you might have in your travels. The resort is kinda far from town but do not let this discourage you from staying here. They have services that will take you to any part of town. We loved staying here and will be recommending it to others ❤️

It was a beautiful property with beautiful ocean side view. The included breakfast was so good as well! Unfortunately not all amenities were available due to repairs and renos but the pool was very nice. Good recommendations for activities around the area! Canyoneering and Snorkelling Island hopping is a must do! Room was decent, the only complaint I have is low water pressure but otherwise it was a pleasant stay. We were out most of the day for activities anyways!

*Disclaimer: the property is still recovering from a hurricane that happened in 2 months ago. Pros: - The staff was super nice, we had issues with the AC, TV, and refrigerator and they came to fix it late at night. - access to a “private” area on the beach really makes water activities seem-less - the reef was better than what you pay for in town - the property is beautiful - amazing view from restaurant - view was nice from room D - family ran - the rental area workers were super nice/informative and right by the water Cons: - room it’s self was very lacking for the price - no wifi signal whats so ever other than by/in the restaurant - unclear what is free and what they charge you for - only 1 restaurant/bar open, the rest are being restored - breakfast buffet was lacking heavily for the price and burger was a hard pass.

8/10

This is probably one of the nicest resorts in Moalboal. Only a few things that keep it from being a true 5 star resort. Pros: - Staff. Staff is readily found and accommodating to any requests. Everyone was very polite. - Snorkel/Diving. The snorkel area is amazing. Tons of corals and fish to see, and you don’t have to leave the resort! All free and included with your stay. - Organized excursions. Transport for each excursion is handled by on-site staff. So no waiting around for a driver to show up. Cons: - Dining. Food is very good, but limited options and quite a bit overpriced compared to the restaurant a few minutes walk away. Included breakfast was very good though. - Swimming Pool. The pool is large and deep (6 feet) which is nice. Could use a better cleaning though. The filter was only on for one of the 3 days we stayed. - No Beach. Not really within their control, but understand there is no swimming area for the ocean. The snorkeling area is completely covered in coral. Great for snorkeling, but a no go for casual swimming/playing. Not really a con, just something to be aware of. Minor mention: All restaurants and amenities were closed and unavailable to guests during their holiday party. No prior notice was given to us. Cons are minor, I would stay again if visiting Moalboal. Overall nice resort. Just expect to pay a bit more during your stay for food and drinks.
