“Amazing stay, it was so we extended twice!”
We just loved Turtle Bay so much, we extended our stay twice! The staff are just so friendly, the property is beautiful and well maintained and the food is delicious! Then there’s the snorkelling on the house reef, which was awesome. We saw so many beautiful fish and lots of turtles. I would recommend this hotel 100%.

“A place for family divers or just a week stay.”
I went to scuba dive and the staff were exceptional always anticipating but never interferring as they had already solved situatikns customer first and divwmaster for each dive interest.if you had macro and wide angle camera divers mixed with air and nitrox and a open watèr with expedienced a divemaster was given to each(sometimes causing equal numbers on board.right on water and beautiful viewsbut no beach and step steps to beach made ul for by plenty of garden space grass and pool.wi fi weak but staff worked hard to keel service and not there problem.while i felt the heat i also seen 18 different species i has not seen before.The staff even had a thesher shark( not known to be in this area)do some leaps on first morning out to welcome me.(do not think they do this with all) i was very tired after 21 dives in a week but very enjoyable.

“A relaxing stay in Moalboal”
This hotel has its own private beach area where you can snorkel and use the hotel's kayaks which was a great option to have. The views from the hotel and its beach are absolutely stunning. The pool and bar area is really lovely and its a great place to relax. We booked canyoneering through the hotel which was a highlight. The hotel has a shuttle to the town area which is really useful when going out to eat at night. We loved our stay here.

“Not just for scuba divers”
The staff were super friendly, happy hour at the cocktail bar brought the guests together, being able to swim with turtles and sardines straight off the jetty, we didn't need to be scuba divers to enjoy the resort, our activities organised for us by the resort team were fantastic and often private with only myself and my husband participating. The community around the resort are also lovely, hubby and I took a wrong turn one night walking back from a restaurant up the road, and everyone we saw said hello, smiled and even offered to take us back to the resort on their bikes when we realised how far off course we were. But we enjoyed the late night walk so much we were happy to turn around and wander back.

“5 days in Moalboal”
Beautiful location with a good pool and excellent gardens. Right on the water and far way from the hustle and bustle. The resort was very helpful with excursions and scooter hire. Very competitive with other providers. Breakfast was very good!

“Beautiful location and service”
Everything! The hotel was beautiful and in a nice location, a short TukTuk from the Main Street. You can hire snorkels and go snorkeling on your own straight from the hotel. We saw turtles both days we went out! The staff are amazing. They go above and beyond. It was so easy to book tours and to organise transport with them. Breakfast was great and we enjoyed dinner at the hotel on our last night.
