Lovely and quiet. Very clean. Next to the beach. Lovely food.
Staff at check in desk weren’t very helpful. Wasn’t happy with the room we booked so asked to change, even to pay more if necessary. They said it was all booked so couldn’t change. Went online and showed a room available. Spoke with manager who couldn’t have been more helpful. Changed room without quibble. Remainder of the staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Lovely flower trees and gardens surrounding all apartments, garden hanging chairs and benches and large pool with sheltered lawn chair areas if the sun is too strong for you. A very peaceful location elevated beside the water with dive shop below. We stayed beside the restaurant (room #10) and would slept early; but there was never noise from the restaurant or kitchen. About the restaurant, all the other reviews raved about. All true. My adult sons standard afternoon phrase was « I am very excited to go back for breakfast « which was included. Fresh papaya mango watermelon banana or special phillipino rice sweets with a combination or egg, traditional pork or chicken stir fry noodle / rice or continental style. All very fresh. Wonderful staff everywhere. Thanks to servers Caesar, Faith, Giovanni and all. Dive shop was amazing. CG, Dennis, Mai, Essay boat crews all so helpful, relaxed,patient and welcoming. Our third son completed his open water with Mai and then my family of 5 toured the amazing reef walls with Essay then Dennis. The underwater reef cliff life of Moalboal is stunning and the diversity is hard to match. Only minutes to the reef from the resort which is rare in my experience. No long journeys. Sardine balls are almost second place to watching huge green turtles to mini shrimp fill your mask vision. A definite stay again if I have the chance.
Nothing. It is located within the obvious poverty of the Philippines which makes one humble and appreciative of your own good fortune and ability to afford to go on vacation and be spoiled by such an amazing culture and people. If it was not so far for me ( Montreal, Quebec, Canada) I would come every year to support their tourism.

Everything was great, cozy beds, hot water, working AC, and the entire staff was friendly. They can help you book everything, tours, scooters, diving, and offer free snorkeling and kayaks. They have a game room also. I would return!
The staff's breakroom was right outside our window, so it was noisy during those times, but usually just early morning and lunch time. The restaurant needs help with the menu, some of the food items were really strange (hummus was just minced garlic for example), but it was nice having food come out fast and have food on property!

The property is located in a quiet area, away from crowds and on the edge of the ocean. You can go straight to dive, snorkel or swimming from the resort’s private beachfront and see amazing underwater life. Also, in case you book the right room, you can see the ocean and Mountain View’s from your balcony, like i did. It was really something and worth the extra money. The resort also has a pool which is a real good to relax either inside the pool or on the loungers after a day filled with activities. And whichever activity you want, if you’re looking for convenience, then the resort can arrange it for you, which was just perfect. Walk to the city where all the shops and restaurants are was 20minutes, 10 minutes with a taxi. But the also have a bar and restaurant onsite, which offers different options if you just wanna stay inside the resort.
The shower could’ve had a better water pressure, but it didn’t dampen my mood too much. Also, the breakfast choice could have a wider range of choices, there were only four and these didn’t change throughout my 5 night stay which meant that due to many dietary restrictions I ate the same thing every morning.

The resort is beautiful, there's a central pool and bar area, a restaurant and the resort wasn't crawling with kids. The food was well priced and very decent. The staff were superb and the breakfast was amazing. I love that they don't do a buffet I assume must less waste this way. We went primarily for the diving which was phenominal. Our instructor Dennis was kind, patient and very very professional. We loved every minute of our stay here. The Turtle Bay Dive centre is located on site so you wake up, have breakfast then walk down. It's so easy. We saw so many turtles! Everything was great I would definitely go back. Hidden Gem. The staff allow you to order food and drinks to your room and you have a nice patio to eat and drink on.
There wasn't anything I didn't like. The place was great, we had such a good stay. The beds were a little on the smaller sides but to be fair we are giants.

Enjoyed our 4 night stay in this resort in July. I booked 2 rooms for my family of 4 adults. The rooms are small size. It has a front patio and I requested for laundry structure which is useful. They also provide purified water in the restaurant. The Seaview was beautiful, and it has a dive shop. The resorts’ diving rates are expensive. We did 2 dives one day at Pescador island and the sardine run which was amazing. The second day, we went diving with the whale sharks in Oslob and at Sumilon island. Our shuttle driver from the resort was very nice and took care of us. We had breakfast included with our room.
The restaurant menu is limited.

Everything was exceptional. We loved our stayed at Turtle Bay Dive Resort. We really enjoyed its relaxing vibes and the staff hospitality. The coral at the front is stunning and we got to see many turtles among other colourful fish. If you are a diver, resort location offers plenty of options to enjoy the marine life. Personally, I loved the night dive. We are sad get have to leave but we will certainly come back.

We stayed in Turtle Bay with family (8 of us in 3 separate rooms) when we visited South of Cebu for 3 nights. The location is absolutely fantastic for snorkelling with the sea just further down the hotel. We really enjoyed seeing plenty of fishes and corals and if you go further you’ll be able to see sea turtles. Pool was lovely as well, not massive but decent size with plenty of sun loungers. Drinks in the bar was great and we enjoyed the cocktails and most especially the mango shakes which we ordered daily. There were plenty of food options in the menu but only one restaurant. Food was okay and you will need a car/ transport to go to outside restaurants. Rooms were nice and clean. The staff were lovely too. Overall, it was a great place to stay but could have been better if the wifi is available.
-Terrible wifi. Next to nothing. Wifi should get improved. -I had a massage in the spa which was ok but not very relaxing. I was with my husband and the two staff doing our massage was whispering and having a conversation which was not relaxing at all. Also, the lady who did my massage was texting at the same time (not al throughout) but on and off whilst she was doing my treatment.

I love this resort so much. the location is great If you want to relax after the long day activities. Tricycle to white beach 15 min and panagsama beach less than 10 min. We book sea-view room for 5 nights. And the view from the room was marvellous. you can see the blue water just from your bed. I really love breakfast mix of both local and western . I love how they take care of the plants and so many beautiful flowers. Staff are very welcoming.
We try out dinner at the restaurant but it didn’t really impress us that much. The water pressure at bathroom need to be work-on.

The owners and the staff were ever so helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Ghong Ghong, their dive master. My daughter did her PADI with him and was lucky to get one-on-one attention. The house reef is very nice for snorkeling. Water is clear and calm and we saw colourful starfish and nemo at close range. Breakfast was delicious with enough options for our 6 nights stay there.
The property is a little far from town but they have transport options, which are chargeable.
