"This hotel exceeded my expectations. Very well maintained, the rooms are cozy, the pool is clean, no lumot or aything. Everyday there is someone cleaning it. Very affordable. I only paid 2845 for 2 nights. Free water in the dispenser. You can also rent a motorcycle for 24 hours. Very quite and safe. Best best best"
"A wonderful hotel, next to the sea, a 3-4 minute walk, also not far from the location where you can eat. We had a wonderful room, right in the house where the ladies themselves live, who run the hotel, lovely 3 sisters. We left, we didn't even lock the room, everything is completely safe, There are 3 more rooms nearby, like a bungalow. The garden is very beautiful on the territory. A kind dog Geloxy lives in the house. There is water in the shower, the bed is comfortable, we took a bike and went to the nearest beaches, the nature is of course incredibly beautiful.
There are a lot of turtles in the sea and of course sardines, it's spectacular.
We will definitely come back!"
"Service is great, the staff are very helpful. We booked local tour and transportation there for a reasonable price and is very convenient. The hotel private beach can even see sea turtles!"

"This resort has a relaxed and peaceful vibe, not too crowded, yet well maintained and located just in front of the sea. Garden is beautiful, swimming pool very nice with two slides that kids love, you can snorkel at their beach, we even saw a turtle. Rooms are clean and comfortable, their menu is extensive, you just need to find your favourites. I would definitely go to Hale Manna again!"
"Really lovely friendly people, directly on the white sand beach away from the hustle and bustle. Supplying simple food and drinks as you sunbathe. Hosts organise all transport and activities at your request and at no personal cost. Fifteen minutes trike ride into town at a reasonable cost!"
"The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this home stay for anyone visiting downtown. The owner of the hotel is very kind and very accommodating, we feel like we are at home. And the staff as well. We will definitely come back to this place."
"Very beautiful hotel in Greek style, white and blue. Immersed in flowering trees. The hotel has 2 residential floors and access to the roof. The view from the roof is very beautiful. The room had a kettle, refrigerator, welcome coffee and even tea. There is constant access to drinking water in a cooler on the floor. The water pressure and temperature in the shower are good. You can dry things after the sea in the backyard under the roof (constant protection of drying clothes from the sun or rain). We liked it, the shore is close. The photo shows the view from the roof of the hotel."
"The hotel is located 400m from the sea and the main road, very quiet, you can enjoy the singing of crickets at night. Suitable for one night stay. Air conditioning works, water is available. Village atmosphere)"
"Everything about this dive resort is amazing. If you are a diver/planning to do a diving course I recommend this place 100%. The staff and instructors are AMAZING. The location is perfect. The diving is awesome, marine life is super healthy. I loved every minute of it and can’t wait to go back."

Amazing
GGuest UserGreat hostel, it was small and had a family feel to it (like boutique hotel). The staff were amazing, very attentive and always had smile of on their faces.
The Ensuite room was great, clean and modern.
Location is a bit of walk to the touristy spot/ beach but the hostel offer a free shuttle service there and back every hour.
There is also a nice and modern French bakery/cafe opposite the hostel.
All in all, enjoyed my time here. Would definitely recommend!
GGuest User1000% recommend. Probably one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. I booked an extra day when I was there as it was so chill and easy to relax in. Dorm rooms and showers was super clean and comfortable. Every staff member was so lovely and welcoming and easy to talk to and always went out of their way to help you. They also know people by name which is so nice when there is so many guests, just such a family friendly vibe. The pool and swim up bar was a plus. Free tea, coffee and a water dispenser available all day. Thank you for such a pleasant stay and hopefully will come back one day!
GGuest UserI can confidently say this is the best hotel in Moalboal, it outperforms other 3-4 star hotels in the area. I know this because I spent my last two nights at another 4-star hotel, which really difference. The location is very good, with restaurants and bars steps away, The prime location puts restaurants and bars within a 5-minute walk, Rooms come fully equipped and impeccably clean, while the staff go above and beyond with their genuinely warm service. As a solo traveler, I particularly appreciated these qualities and would highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling alone.
Pph37czThe room was pretty clean and has an aircon inside. Soundproofing wasn't good. It got too noisy in the morning. Bedsheets were not clean enough. This hotel doesn't offer a towel.
As for common bath and toilets it was also not clean enough, there was toilet paper inside cabins but they don't offer a shampoo/shower gel as well. There was hot water in the bath.
Located in touristic place too far from bus station and cheap food markets but just in 5 mins walking distance from beach.
The staff was pretty welcoming and friendly.
GGuest UserGreat place to be.
Amazing beach that’s called the Mushroom rocks. You can observe it during the stay.
Amazing view from the beach or from the rooftop bar where you can see the other island, sea in all of its beauty. Aaaand don’t miss a chance to observe the stars out of terrace. It’s amaaaaaazing.
Restaurant’s right on reception. The food is tasty, especially we liked spring rolls and Wild Orchid omelet. You can chose any table you like (right in front of the beach, on a cafe territory, the rooftop bar or the number balcony.
Pool on common territory is wonderful. Clean, different depth, instagramly. But the best thing, there are no people or maybe few.
Nice staff on reception and kitchen.
Clear, comfortable room. Nice place to come back!
AAnonymous UserI had a pleasant stay at this hostel and really enjoyed the overall experience. The staff were friendly and the service was great, which made me feel welcome. The Wi-Fi connection was excellent — fast and reliable, perfect if you need to work during your stay.
That said, there’s a little room for improvement in terms of cleanliness and amenities. When I first entered the room, there was a bit of a fishy smell that could be addressed to make the stay even more comfortable.
Overall, I’d recommend this place, especially for those who need good internet and friendly service, and I believe with a few improvements it could be even better.
AAnonymous UserThe location was good, as it was very close to the bus stop and convenience store. Unfortunately not very close to the beach. But the tricycle ride is about 15 minutes to get there. The pool was amazing and we enjoyed the slides and having facilities for children. The breakfast was not good and extremely basic. Our room was spacious but the water heater was hidden under the sink, and we had to endure cold showers until we complained and they showed us. The staff was friendly and helpful. Considering the overall price, you get what you pay for, with a little extra. Would recommend for a 1-2 night stay, but not longer.
于于The hotel is strategically located, with the seaside and natural ecological environment. With the PADI Dive Center, you can book a variety of deep dive, snorkeling projects, and the coach is enthusiastic, the service is very thoughtful, for our sake, I feel so lucky to meet such a hotel. In terms of food and beverage, the hotel itself has a lot of food and drink supplies. Due to the tired diving every day, it is regrettable that we do not drink happy hour cocktails. Because on the beach, there is a short road that is very bumpy. If it can be repaired, it will be more perfect.
LLea PearlIt's quiet, clean and spacious room. Forgot to take room pictures as we're in a rush. There's a nice pool too and the location is just near the town center. We were walk-ins and checked in around 2am and I thought you'll have to stay there for 24 hours or at least the check out is around 4-5 pm since it's like 500 peso more expensive than booking online. However it's just the same here on trip.com which is the check out time is 12pm so I just booked on this app as it is cheaper. Quite disappointed with the hotel rules.
GGuest UserVery nice hotel!!! We were there from 30.04 to 5.05. Cozy hotel with polite and attentive staff. It is not very new, but everything is in good condition.
The hotel is located on the 1st line, a restaurant with very tasty food and cocktails right on the shore, which adds to its romance. Here you want to spend time contemplating the water, the sky, and people’s lives. The hotel has a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a pleasant massage in a gazebo, etc. for an additional fee. Very green, with its own small beach.
We lacked a kettle and cups in the room, but you can buy boiling water in the cafe, which a hotel employee will bring to your room.
About a 30-minute drive away, we recommend visiting a conningere and spending 2 hours by car to swim with a whale shark, and you can swim with turtles and sardines near the hotel yourself or order an instructor.
We had a great time!
