Spectacular resort in Moalboal. The staff are so sweet and helpful and smiley. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The grounds are huge and beautifully kept with tropical plants and huge frangipani trees. It is paradise for a family, we sat in the swinging seats overlooking the ocean and the swimming pool is massive, lots of spots to lounge around and relax and super peaceful. It’s only less than ten mins into town with a super cheap tuk tuk ride which we easily did several times - to visit the mall, swim with sardines/turtles and to look around Moalboal. The staff also happily arrange anything you need, airport transfers etc. We ate at the restaurant for all of our meals, the Chef is great, all cooked fresh and very - very - tasty, generous portions and well-priced, it was just awesome dining. Highly recommend a stay here.

This place is great. The facilities are well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our poolside room was cozy and clean. My fiance took a beginners dive class followed by a sardine dive and loved both. The food was better than expected. I had assumed that we would go into town for most meals but we ended up eating onsite quite a lot due to the variety, quality, and convenience. I think this is a good spot for both couples and families.

Recommended really ! Friendly and kind staffs. Place is well maintained and clean. Canoe can be rented for free and you can snorkel too. There are services for canyoneering, moalboal sardine run etc available. Our flight reschedule and we called the hotel to change our stay date, and they managed to pull it off. Even allow us for early breakfast since our flight back was early

I have very mixed feelings about my stay at Turtle Bay Dive Resort. First, the positives. The diving was absolutely fantastic. The dive sites are beautiful, and the dive guides are among the best I’ve ever dived with. They were professional, knowledgeable, and outstanding underwater. The resort itself is clean, well maintained, and, in my opinion, finished to a very good standard for the Philippines. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making the overall atmosphere very enjoyable. Unfortunately, a tragic event during our stay completely changed my perspective on the resort’s safety standards. A guest from another group drowned in the swimming pool. While this was a tragic accident, what happened afterwards was deeply concerning. It quickly became apparent that none of the resort staff were trained in basic first aid or CPR. There was no one able to take charge of the emergency, and there was no AED (defibrillator) available on site. My group consisted mostly of Rescue Divers and higher-level divers, so we immediately pulled the victim from the bottom of the pool and began CPR. We continued resuscitation efforts for approximately an hour until emergency services arrived. Throughout this time, the resort staff appeared unsure how to respond and were unable to assist with lifesaving care. The incident also highlighted several concerns about the swimming pool itself. During our stay, there was no lifeguard or anyone actively supervising the pool, despite it being open 24 hours a day. The depth markings at the deep end were difficult to see, and the pool appeared deeper than the markings suggested. The rescue equipment available around the pool was very limited and, in my opinion, inadequate for a facility of this size. As a dive resort, I believe emergency preparedness should be a top priority. Every member of staff should have basic first aid and CPR training, and an AED should be available on site. I would also expect emergency oxygen to be clearly available and its location known to both staff and guests. These are basic safety measures that can make the difference between life and death. I sincerely hope the resort learns from this tragedy and invests in improving its emergency procedures and safety equipment. The people are wonderful, the diving is world-class, and the resort has so much going for it. With better safety standards, it could be an exceptional place to stay. For the diving alone, I would happily return. However, I also hope that meaningful improvements are made to guest safety before another emergency occurs.

This place is a true gem! 💎 The resort is very lucky to have such a wonderful team working there! My dive instructor Jezebel made me feel very safe & I had a great time doing the dives (the reefs are exceptional) ~ all of the staff on the boat were super helpful & fun to be with. I also had an excellent massage with Jasmine, definitely 💯 recommend!! And everyone from reception to the drivers are super polite, friendly & welcoming! The guys at the bar: Ray, Jeff, Joseph, make great cocktails & ambiance & were very attentive! All in all a fabulous time was had with my family & I can’t fault it at all! Thanks everyone for making our vacation & first time in the Philippines so wonderful!! 💐💐💐
