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.

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.

Hi Sir, my name is Liz. Thank you for your comments, I appreciate it very much to augment our service to arriving guests and hopefully to your next visit. Please excuse us for the low water availability on the stay of your stay here. The whole of moalboal is scarce of water but we have our own deep well as a source of water so what we can do is augment the distribution of the water to all the roooms. Regarding the rooms, we have bigger rooms in our new building and most of the time if we have availability we offer free upgrade. I would have love to know your discomforts while you were with us. I am looking forward though to wecome you again in our hotel so you can try our new rooms in the new building. About the AC we already have changed all the AC units of the rooms in the deluxe area to better serve the guests and give them comfort you deserve away from home as our valued guests. Thanks, Liz

Greetings from Moalboal Tropics! Please excuse us for your dis-satisfaction of the christmas dinner.

But hopefully we can wecome you again in our hotel in the future and we can make arrangements for you to try another menu since we have a new hire chef that works in an international cruise ship.

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.

Hello Amanda! Thankyou so uch for bringing this issue with us. We are saddened for all the inconvinience that you encountered during your stay here at moaboal tropics hotel. First reason why we need to moved you to another room which is the supeior family room is that you posted online that you didnt like the first room that we gave and we have to take action on that so we approached you to move to other building. when we try to approach you to have your room upgraded you sad that you will just approach the frontdesk when you are decided already. About our breakfast we always make sure that was properly serve and the people who cooked that was well trained about food and beverage service as we always prioritize our guest satisfaction, Our sincerest apology that we haven't meet your expectation. We are looking to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Freda

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.
