Liliia KuchumovaI enjoyed staying at the hostel because the staff was very polite and the room and grounds were clean. They offer a free shuttle from the bus station and to the beach. It was quiet at night. The beach is not that far away, just a 15-minute walk. The hostel also offers tours. I will definitely come back here again.

Очень благодарны администрации отеля, что смогли нас заселить аж в 9 утра.
Отель находится в нескольких минах ходьбы от дайвинг центров и 15 минут на тук-туке до пляжа. В номере есть полотенца, удобная кровать, кондиционер, туалетные принадлежности, фен. Горячая вода ( в моём московском понимании этого слова) была, но не всегда. В гостинице есть правило, что в номере нельзя пить. На территории отеля находится симпатичный и удобный бар с пивом/коктейлями. Очень приветливые ребята из персонала. Из минусов - рядом ведётся стройка, начинается она в 8 утра..

I 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.

The resort is very peaceful, and the rooms are very neat. It also overlooking the sea, and they also have kayaking and scuba-diving services in-house. The place is also only 10 minutes away by bike to the Panagsama beach, and they charge reasonable price to travel there. The breakfast was okay too. The staff there were very friendly and patient in helping us with whatever we requested.
One thing to note is that the front office closes at 10pm, so it's annoying when you need their help such as exchanging notes after their opening hours. Nearby areas are mostly other results and hotels so nothing much to see nearby the place, and the road to the resort from the beach or city center is also very dark, so it's recommended to hire a bike or tuk tuk if you're returning at night as you may not clearly see the roads.

Guest 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!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at the Blue Orchid, and it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a view of the ocean over the treetops. It felt peaceful and private — exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for.
The staff were exceptional — so friendly, kind, and accommodating. They helped me plan a surprise proposal for my fiancé, offering suggestions for the perfect location and ultimately arranging for us to use their private rooftop. They also coordinated a romantic dinner there just for us, ensuring we had complete privacy. It was an unforgettable evening, and I’m so grateful for the care they put into making it so special.
The resort arranged our transportation both from our previous hotel in Mactan and later to Cebu Pier 1, which made travel stress-free. We also booked canyoneering and an introductory scuba dive through them. The instructors were fantastic — very patient and reassuring, especially when I became nervous underwater and couldn’t finish the dive.
While the resort is a bit removed from the busier Panagsama Beach area, that was a huge plus for us. We wanted somewhere quiet, scenic, and romantic, and Blue Orchid delivered exactly that.
The restaurant doesn’t have a massive menu, but the food was consistently delicious, portions were perfect, and prices were very fair. Even though there wasn’t a kettle in the room, hot water, coffee and tea was readily available and it was never an inconvenience since everything was close by.
We also appreciated the mosquito net over the bed — it added to the tropical charm, though we didn’t need it because insects were never an issue. We even spotted a tiny gecko in our room upon arrival, but it was harmless and quickly disappeared — just part of the island’s character!
Overall, the Blue Orchid was everything we hoped for: quiet, romantic, and welcoming. The staff helped make one of the most meaningful moments of our lives absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend it, especially to LGBTQ+ travelers looking for a peaceful and genuinely inclusive place to stay in Moalboal. When we do a return trip to the area, we will stay here again.

Guest UserTo be honest the service was good but when we went the pool was out of use the whole time, in the room there isn’t even a kettle for hot water. Nobody comes to clean the room, no duvet and we saw many hotels that were closer to the main area that are much more modern, there is so much noise from the chickens, cats, dogs and whatever animals are near by at 5am, this was a natural alarm and for someone who didn’t want to wake up early it was worse then my Apple alarm going off reminding me to get to work😂. however the staff are extremely nice. friendly.

Guest UserThe hotel's air conditioning is a proper AC unit, not just a cooler! It was so much quieter! Other places had noisy coolers that kept me from sleeping. The hotel front desk can also book tours with pick-up and drop-off, which is incredibly convenient... I wish I had known about this hotel sooner! Highly recommend!

Guest UserThe hotel is basic, but the price is really affordable. The Wi-Fi in the rooms is poor; you have to go outside to get a good signal. There’s no TV. This wasn't an issue for us, though. There's a water cooler with hot and cold water available at all times, as well as coffee and sugar. It has its own beach access. It's a small beach, but it feels almost private :) It's an excellent spot for snorkeling. The coral is beautiful and very close to shore, so you don't have to swim far. You might even spot turtles and sardines. It's a bit far from other cafes, but there's a cafe right on the beach that will gladly cook meat and other dishes for you. We especially liked the pork and beef – just be sure to ask them to make it 'not sweet,' as Filipinos tend to sweeten everything. The phrase 'no sweet' saves the day! Overall, this hotel is great for a short stay.

Has a lot of potential. Location is good and staff were helpful in ordering Tuk tuks to the town and organising day trips.
Unfortunately our shower kept going cold but they did do their best to sort it.
