The property is clean and 'cute', the staff weren't helpful or fiendly though they did allow us to check in an hour and a half early. Also, you are required to remove your shoes when inside. They provide inside slippers but may be better to go barefoot than slip on the stairs with a sub par pair as I quickly learned.
I typically stay in higher end properties, but this is Moalboal- and I wanted to be close to the water in the heart of the action. Deluxe King room is beyond a super value! Staff is sooooo friendly and accommodating. I booked originally for 2 nights- and I have extended it now one night at a time- now here for the 6th night. For the area, there is nothing better and i would definitely recommend it here.
Hot shower was nice. Comfortable rooms. Great location right in the thick of it.

This is a new property lesd than 5years. Convinirnt during the day but at night is dark along the way to walking dtreet but faraway from Jollibee and market.
Staff are very helpful through out my stay.
I sure be back agisn if I hoping to Moboal again.
It’s a 3 stars hotel but I like it. Very nice and in good location. Staff also very nice, they looked after me when I fell from the bike and was bleeding. I will surely come back to this place.
Nice, clean, comfortable, and a friendly staff. Great location to activities, bars, restaurants, and transportation to White Beach. Good WiFi and cold air conditioning. Highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness
Walking distance to the snorkeling area. Very nice and clean hotel.
Clean room , basic amenities and friendly and helpful staff. However in one of the days from the night till morning, we don’t have water supply to the sink or toilet to brush teeth or flush toilet. I need to resort to the water in bathroom for those activity. We feedbacked to the staff before our departure and hopefully it will not happen to others.
One thing sticks out about this hotel - it's VERY clean! Staff on site are always there to clean up. I liked the free filtered hot/cold water unit. They have security staff in the evening and there's always a staff around in the day time. Feels quite safe as there is only one entrance. Nice decor which is very fresh and relaxing. Room was spacious. They also have liquid shampoo and body wash in dispensers - nice! Better than struggling with small uneco friendly small tubes. Friendly staff. You have to pay for a second pillow if you want one. They were happy to provide a few more hangers for free.
Great location - just a minute walk to the beach where you can see turtles feeding.
A nice touch with 'origami' folded towels.
The staff was amazing and very helpful.
The room was clean and the staff did an excellent job of keeping the hallways free of dirty and sand.
The beds are quite firm and you are only supplied with one pillow each, although we never asked for more, I’m sure they would have accommodated.
The AirCon and Wifi were both excellent but the water pressure was sometimes lacking.
Very close to the beach and plenty of restaurants. Saturday night there was a live band at the Pacita's Disco Bar just down the lane way which was loud but put on an excellent show and gave a good nightlife vibe.
The staff arranged 1 excursion for us and it was excellent, although our driver was 25 min late, that was to no fault of the hotel it self.
Would highly recommend staying here.
The property was conveniently located along the path next to the beach. Couple of minutes walk to the sardines!
The place was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I would have stayed longer, but it was all booked up.
Avoid this place. I booked a king size bed and got a double. Had zero water!!! Couldn’t even shower. No phones in the room to call the front desk. Bathroom stink of sewage coming up. Bed was hard and only had 1 flat pillow each. Won’t be going back here again.
Hotel was very nice and clean, staff were nice and friendly, very near the beach, Shops, bars and restaurants. The view from the top of hotel surroundings was gorgeous.
First time checking in here and this property did not disappoint.
This humble space has accommodating and warm staff, you will love them. Hot spots like cafes and beaches are just a few minutes away either by walking or renting a motorcycle.
This place is laid back, peaceful, and very chill. But they take cleanliness seriously. You'll know when you get here.

A major disappointment
I do not recommend this hotel. There are a few notable reasons for the negative experience:
1) the shower barely worked so you had to use a bucket
2) you couldn't wear your shoes so you had to use the same slippers everyone else uses for their feet to enter your room (or go barefoot). It was not sanitary. Why not provide new slippers to each paying customer?!
3) worst of all, they seemed to totally forget about the tour we booked with them. We started late for our sea turtle and sardines tour. As a result, we could not see much because the seas became rough and reduced visibility to 4-5 feet. They also didn't communicate that you don't need a permit for snorkeling off the beach where you can see sea turtles and the sardine run. In the end, they just made me overpay to rent a boat to see a medicore island off of Moalboal that provided no value. Very unethical and unhelpful staff.
Do yourself a favor and book at a better hotel. This one does not deserve the positive reviews it has received.
Good clean hotel located 5 minutes walk from Panagsama Beadh. Costs 150 pesos to take trike from MainStreet public bus drop off to D’Gecko. No shoes allowed in hotel hallways keeps the hotel clean of sand and drug
Place was great! A touch of Santorini with beautiful ambience. Safe and secure, and the staff were awesome! I even left my deposit but they found a way to reach me and give me back my money, so kind of them. I definitely recommend this place.
