Dolphin House Resort Moalboal

I honestly don't understand how the hotel owner decided this is a 5-star property. It's a very good 3-star hotel with an incredibly amazing reef. Let's start with the positives: - The spectacular reef, which was the main reason we chose this hotel. - Excellent sun loungers. - Beautiful and well-maintained grounds. Absolutely stunning! - Nice furniture in the room. - Friendly hotel staff. - Decent food, but nothing to rave about. The best part was the Filipino mango pancakes! - There were very few other guests besides us, which was a pleasant surprise. It felt very secluded. Now for the negatives: - A terribly squeaky old mattress. - Food takes an incredibly long time to prepare, even if you order it in advance. - The bathroom felt like something out of a sanatorium; I won't even mention the shower gel and shampoo. They were the cheapest possible products (I had my own, so it wasn't a big deal for me, but why market yourself as 5-star?). - A broken hairdryer that I had to hold together with my hand so it wouldn't collapse during drying. And the cherry on top: my legs were covered in bed bug bites, which apparently live in the mattress. This happened on the second night; I initially thought they were mosquito bites. It happened again on the third night. After returning home, I showed the countless bites to a doctor, who confirmed they were bed bug bites. Moreover, I read reviews on Google, and people have complained about this before. This likely means the problem hasn't been fixed. Please pay attention to room P1. Overall, it's not a bad hotel for a stop in Moalboal, especially considering the top-notch reef. The owner needs to do some cosmetic renovations, replace the old stickers, the dreadful containers in the bathroom, and change the curtains. That would make a significant difference to its appearance, as the beauty of the grounds makes you wish for the same in the room.

The room was small, but the environment was nice. However, there was a party or something nearby, and from 5 or 6 pm until 2 or 3 am, they were banging and playing loud music.

A quiet, intimate hotel with beautiful grounds and a great house reef. The rooms are small but cozy, the staff is friendly. We recommend

Like it very much.

It was great!! However, I was a little sensitive to the smell of iron in the tap water, so I washed my face with bottled water. My friend said it was fine!! The view was so good that I wanted to stay there. The outdoor area is right in front, so there are some bugs outside, but There was no problem at all when I was indoors, and all the staff were so nice.
