Turtle Bay Dive Resort Reviews

Great resort. Nice and clean room. You can book any tour you want with the hotel. If you are fun of diving and snorkeling it is a great place to be. The diving instructor from the hotel was very patient and professional with the diving course. Definitely recommend.

This resort has a lot to offer. The location is great and we were able to see turtles twice during our snorkeling excursions. While we didn't do any diving this time, we'll definitely be returning as lots to see. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The only downside would be that the food at the restaurant isn't value for money, however, lots of places to choose from in just a short 10 minute drive away.

Nice rooms with comfy beds. The pool was great to relax in. Not in town so food options and exploring around are a bit limited.

Very nice place. Clean and quite! The breakfast was very good!

Small and clean hotel. The rooms are not so big, but if you're a diver/adventurer that doesn't matter. The cleaning is good. But if you're going to hotel restaurant, be prepared to wait, they cook slow.

If you’re contemplating staying at this resort DON’T HESITATE, JUST DO IT. This resort is 10/10 ! The MOST COMFORTABLE bed and pillows I’ve ever slept on. The grounds are well kept and extremely clean. The resort has a very cozy and secluded feeling to it, so quiet and beautiful. The staff is very friendly and professional. Each room has a bungalow feel to it with your own verandah (porch) and is VERY SPACIOUS. The only thing that surprised me was that it’s a bit of a drive away from the main road BUT that didn’t put a damper on our experience. I was actually so sad to leave this resort, I would 100% return.

Great experience overall; the hotel is in a quiet area, but close enough to the restaurants and bars area; service is always friendly and helpful. Just need a motorbike ride or a tricycle. Facilities are clean, and are spacious and lovely, with a nice restaurant and the beach just downstairs. We didn’t try the dive, but the snorkeling in the turtle bay was fun. Delicious and abundant breakfast too. Rooms are clean, cozy and the AC and wifi work perfect. As for the things to improve, we ran out of water the first night, and the water pressure is just so so. We also found most of services a bit costy compared with prices in town -food, transportation, dive services,etc.-. Other than that, it was a great experience that I’d recommend.

The hotel is in more private location compared to most resorts in Moalboal. This is a quiet area, with private access to the sea, which is very shallow and easily accessible, particularly during low tide. Resorts itself is nice, the pool was OK, diving also enjoyable, although cylinders were a bit on the empty side. Staff was always very nice. Unfortunately, food was not so good and overpriced, we had much better things to eat in other resorts or in town, which is 10-20 minutes away by tuk tuk.

The location was quiet, exactly what we wanted. We rented a scooter, the staff were very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The restaurant was open all day which was great with affordable and delicious food. They don't keep the pool pump running though, so the water didn't look sparkling and clear. It was turned on on request though.

We enjoyed our stay and diving at Turtle Bay Dive Resort very much. Although it was fully booked during our stay, we didn’t feel crowded, and no services were compromised. All the staff were helpful and friendly. For example, Dennis, the instructor, happened to guide all of our dives, and the manager took care of details before we even asked. It's worth paying extra to get away from the noise and crowds. The ocean view, fresh air, tranquility, good services, and convenience of diving made our trip much more remarkable. We've been diving in the Philippines for over a decade in several spots. It's our second time in Moalboal. Turtle Bay Dive Resort and Moalboal are at the top of our list. Thank you!

Just excellent all round. Book it. You will not regret it. Great value for money.

Traveled along with friends of ours , two couples. The location is pretty cool as you can go diving or snorkeling with turtles right in front of the resort. They also have a great dive center with very accommodating staff. Downfall would definitely be being overcharged and when asking for a receipt they couldn’t give us one to show us what the charges are for and insisted that we pay in cash. When we questioned this they became very rude and nervous. Felt like a scam. Resort was nice but definitely not worth the price . Very basic.

Beautiful beaches by the resort

Fantastic hotel with all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay. We wanted something quiet and out of the way, but close enough to the busier Panagsama beach if we wanted to take advantage of the tours there. If you want to be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle then the location for this might not be ideal, however, if you want to get away from it all, this place couldn't be more perfect. The flora lightly perfumes the air with a floral and verdant scent, and they offer scuba gear rentals if you want to go for a hop right off the back beach of the resort. The food was excellent and definitely take advantage of the massage services offered. Tip, ask the hotel to arrange transport for you to the airport or similarly, pick up from the airport, you'll get a luxurious ride in a clean van and skip all the hassle or wondering if the taxis are ripping you off. For canyoneering or sardine swarm/sea turtle tours, you're better off booking with a vendor in Panagsama Beach though, you'll be paying a markup for convenience if you book at the hotel. For those of you interested in diving, they conveniently offer PADI courses.
