    Nothing, our stay was amazing.

    Paradise and off the beaten track but easy to get a tricycle to the town. Staff really friendly and helpful. Rooms spacious and comfortable and the food was amazing. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again 😀

    Excellent setting let down by inadequate service

    The access road is rough, no fridge in the room and the service was very slow even when empty - up to 25 minutes to get a cafetière of coffee. External add ins were comparatively expensive to other local providers and not great - eg the diving and coordination with Blue Orchid - the boat could pick up rather than having to use a tuktuk to get us to the dive school with a 15-30 minute ride. The boat also broke down. I also got lunch at blue orchid during the surface break which caused diarrhoea. No disrespect to the dive master but it would be better to go to an external dive business and arrange your own trip. The owners could improve the customer focus, attention to detail and value by training staff to a consistent level and putting a bit more thought into the overall service.

    Once there the setting was good especially being able to swim in the sea. The water and tea were good. Some staff were good making a lot of effort to help

    We truly had a relaxing vacation here, even though it was just a 2-night stay. The host was very responsive, happily answering all our questions and arranging diving and transportation in advance. The suggestions provided were both helpful and timely. The room was exceptionally comfortable and clean. What made it even more special is that the hotel is located right by the sea — you can enjoy the sunset and listen to the waves from your balcony. Just a small tip: you might want to bring a container to fill with water, as bottled water isn’t provided in the room.

    After three days in Moalboal, I was looking for a quiet place to simply relax. A 20-minute scooter ride later, I arrived at the Wild Orchid, where my wish was absolutely fulfilled. A very nice location, surrounded by beautiful scenery, a small beach, a great pool, friendly staff and a large room with high ceilings awaited me – peace and quiet :).. Great stay for two nights.

    Really great place for a quiet getaway. The rough road to get there was worth it for the peace and quiet. Food here was excellent, the best i have had on my trip, and I am a fussy eater... You can walk straight out of your room and into the water to go snorkeling. Nobody here will bother you with annoying rules and regulations. Just go and enjoy yourself. I will most likely come back here. Hopefully on my return there will be a fridge in the room, as that is the only thing I can think that was a slight negative.

    A beautiful place to stay. The sunsets are amazing! Gorgeous complex with clean and spacious rooms. The food is outstanding - especially the choice of breakfasts all day which is perfect for not so early risers! Hospitality is outstanding- the nicest group of people who made our stay even better. The resort is quiet and relaxing. Overall one of the best resorts we have stayed in during our travels across the Philippines.

    Nothing it was lovely

    You know what…we arrived on a extremely wet afternoon in March after a 3.5 hr journey from Oslob and where immediately welcomed by 2 very smiley faces who made us feel immediately at home (love the Philippines) The location is amazing but a little cut off for those looking for night life who should definitely go further south. We originally planned for 1 night but stayed for 3. We loved just chilling out, exploring by renting some bikes and trying one of Sarah’s yoga classes. I had been canyoneering the previous day and my knees where sore but Sarah’s yoga class worked wonders. My overall impression was of a lovely resort in a great location with very friendly and welcoming staff, it is a great mixture of Philippines and westerners. Would definitely go back if I find myself in the southern Philippines again

    Hotel is new but not very modern. The chairs for dinner are not very comfy, they could add some more comfy ones to have a drink. Pretty far from town with shops and restaurants and the road to the property is very bad.

    Nice hotel, staff are lovely. View is great. Bed is comfy and the room is very big with nice terrace.

    The pool looks nice but we did not go in as we can see small, dead insects as it is an open pool which is understandable. No tv but it's not a problem for me.

    I like the place as it is remote and quiet. Nice view of sunrise and sunset. The staff are friendly. The food is yummy. The room is clean. The shower is strong. It is only few minutes away by car for "turtle watching and sardine run" - beautiful and once in a lifetime experience! I think 2hr drive by car to whale shark watching in Oslob.

    Would have been nice to have a room safe.

    Location was secluded and quiet. Restaurant was on site and the only option but the food was well prepared and served in a timely manner. The ocean in front was not sandy so reef shoes are a must. Watch out for urchins as they are out there. The pool was clean and fairly big. there is a dive shop on site.

    It depends on the type of the vacation, but the hotel is a little bit far from the main city, and in order to get to the hotel you need a ride, but it’s really pretty and it’s nice to disconnect from everything so I recommend.

    Really pretty place, everything is new and renovate, private beach Views are crazy

    Was presented an additional 5% surcharge on check-out, even though it is optional, I think it's not appropriate.

    Beautiful location, new facilities, great pool, nice reef in front of the hotel, stone path into the reef is very convenient, can use snorkeling gear, friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere, great view from the balcony.

    The road going in is a bit rough but not a deal breaker. Rooms are spacious but the bathrooms are a bit on the tight side.

    Wild Orchid really worked well for us as it was away from the touristy Panagsama Beach. The resort is very new and located on the northern tip of Moalboal. The rooms are spacious with lovely ocean views and the beds are comfortable. There is a good size pool and a fully equipped dive shop with brand new gear. The staff are all very kind and helpful. Strong wi-fi throughout the property. Food is delicious but could be just a bit more varied.

    The remoteness and the drive way.

    The food was acceptable and prepared as we like. The location was a bit remote , which was unexpected. The driveway was significantly scary on our arrival, we got a feeling of going into a down graded facility. We were a bit surprised by what it actually was. We did enjoy the quiet and tranquility of the place as we settled in.
