منتجع ذا بلو أوركيد

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. 

A remote, chill resort with raw design and easy snorkeling access. The scenery around the resort is beautiful and relaxing. However, the rooms & F&B cost more than I expected.

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, with a refreshing atmosphere in a remote location and especially if you’re into advanced diving this is an excellent place to stay. We stayed for just 1 night, as we wanted to explore other activities and we’re not advanced divers, so we decided to change our plans. A quick tip: prepare cash in advance. The nearest ATM is quite far from the resort, so you’ll need to take a tricycle or rent a motorbike. The resort only accepts cash. The highlight for us was the stunning sea view and breathtaking sunset. The property isn’t very large, but with plenty of trees it feels secluded and peaceful. The food was also delicious.

Really good location in prime Cebu and budget-friendly hotel.

One if the best in Moalboal. A bit far though, kinda old. Some lights arent working, a bit dark. Not much food options. The room is spacious though.

A lovely, secluded hotel that is so welcoming and friendly. The perfect place to relax, or go diving. The food was good and the rooms have a fabulous sea view.

Really a nice place to relax on Cebu, near Moalboal. Direct view on the water, you can diving and snorkeling in front of the resort.  Professional locals to guide you. Location is not too big, quite, clean rooms and good service. Very good food at any time. From here you see the area very well, it feel home when you come back after a nice tour.  We stayed five nights- Top

Nice resort Nice restaurant Nice bar (open until 4am) Big swimming pool Nice snorkeling place front of the resort (they can provide you equipment for free Diving available at the resort Lot of activities as well available at the resort (canyoning/…)

Прекрасное место вдали ото всех и всего. Добираться на три цикле от Моалбоал достаточно просто, на ресепшн также могут заказать вам транспортное средство для комфортного путешествия. Есть только появившаяся проблема с перекрытием финального участка дороги, с вас будут просить деньги за въезд. Всего два дня, как это произошло, думаю в ближайшее время администрация отеля разберется. Сама территория - прекрасна. Свой дайвинговый центр, свой бассейн, отличная кухня, добрый и отзывчивый персонал, с которым можно и поболтать, если захочется. Номеров здесь несколько десятков, но людей практически не видно и не слышно, вы не будете с ними много пересекаться. Сами номера чистые, ежедневно у вас будут убираться, пока вы завтракаете, менять при необходимости полотенца и заправлять кровать. Это стало приятным удивлением, т.к. редкость на Филиппинах. В дайвингом центре вы можете взять необходимое снаряжение (да, просто взять, предупредив на ресепшне от этом) для снорклинга и спуститься на частный пляж, где можно сразу погрузиться в изучение кораллового рифа. Либо записаться на дайвинг. Это прекрасный отель и на данный момент единственный, в который я с удовольствием вернусь на Филиппинах.
