A lot of on-premise amenities (gym, spa, dive packages). Great snorkling path right to the reef. Restaurant was delicious. Staff was friendly and very attentive. Tour sites were relatively close from the property compared to staying in Cebu. Would definitely come back to do dive sites.

The Hotel is located in an amazing place near the sea. There you can do snorkel an see a lot of fishes and even turtles. Also the Hotel is 15m away by tuc tuc from a beach with restaurants and bars. Our room was very small but ok. No tv. The breakfast was ok not amazing as was not the food in the bar. But overall the Hotel is a good deal very relaxing and in a pretty place.

The service here was abysmal. The owner is a grumpy old man that wanders around the facility nitpicking at guests. The staff (rightfully) apologised for his behaviour but after a dreadful afternoon we took our custom to Club Serena down the road

This was the first dedicated dive resort my partner and I have ever stayed at and we were delighted with everything. Dolphin House has been designed with everything in very close proximity - the rooms, the dive centre, the bar/restaurant, spa and fitness suite. Our room was very clean, spacious, had firm foam mattresses on the beds and really good storage space. The team at the dive centre were great to dive with and had a range of lovely dive sites to choose from. We made good use of the spa and had fantastic Philippine massages from experienced masseurs. And ... to top it all ... the food was “to die for”. The chef had a wide range of mouthwatering dishes to choose from each day and she really knows how to make the most awesome deserts ! I’ll miss them greatly ! We got chatting to lots of other guests and make new diving friends here. A tip for others considering Dolphin House ... the journey from Cebu airport is only c.60 miles but the roads are very busy and you have to cross the hills to the other side of the island. Our journey took 3.5 hours but, when planning our trip, we had contacted the Dolphin House team and they offered us their service to collect us from the airport and take us back at the end of our holiday. It was well worth the peace of mind. Make sure you allow 3-4 hours for your transfer to/from the airport and you’ll have enough time. Really noticeably, all the staff at Dolphin House were lovely, very helpful and friendly. We had a great

Positives: Service is very friendly. Some even went out of their way to learn our names early on and use them throughout our stay. Everyone greets you and calls you sir/Madame, even the gardeners. Food is good and fresh, but a little slow at times. You do need to order in advance for dinner and there isn’t anywhere else to eat, but the menu is extensive and changes everyday. Local area is limited for things to do. There’s no beach directly outside the hotel (you have to travel a bit) but the snorkelling is good. There are more restaurants and bars about 25 minutes away on a tricycle. You can get trips to the waterfalls and island hopping/snorkelling but I’d recommend talking to tricycle drivers about this as they are cheaper than the hotel offers them. Negatives: Boredom at night... the WiFi is spotty throughout the resort except the bar. With no WiFi in the room, no cell coverage in the room no TV in the room and no entertainment outside, it made for some very boring nights. That being said, many of the excursions are early in the morning so you’ll probably end up having early nights. But if you do like to spend several hours each night watching TV or flicking through social media, then you might want to consider somewhere else. Personally, the time allowed me to catch up on my reading but my wife was pretty bored. This is the only reason I’ve given the hotel a lower rating.

We like the snorkeling area the best, very convenient infront the hotel is the snorkeling area, so many fish and corals the best. The place is very relaxing. We just don’t like the CR no bidet and the food is delicious but expensive. The staff very friendly and accommodating.

Dolphin House was a beautiful oasis on a gorgeous house reef. The resort has multiple areas set up for guests to sit, enjoy the views (whether of the water or the pool) and relax. The dive shop was well organized and professional. Your first dive will be a "welcome dive" on the house reef and after that you can extend to other local sites such as Pescador Island and the Sardine run. The house reef also makes for great snorkeling. Neighboring White Beach was a local hangout and not as inviting as I had anticipated, but between the house reef and the pool, there was not much need to venture out. There menu wasn't extensive, but there were always at least several appealing options. And the drinks were yummy. The wifi wasn't perfect, but worked ok. And the rooms had AC, which was a big plus for sleeping. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend the Dolphin House to those staying in Moalboal. Do note that the hotel is opposed to the whale shark tours and will not help you make those arrangements. (I won't comment on that, but look it up for yourself).

Very relaxing and quiet for an enjoyable stay!

Great staff, amazing views, delicious food, comfortable clean accomodations. Steps away from white beach and incredible snorkeling. Probably the best place to stay in all of Moal Boal!

Very pricey for what you get Food overpriced No internet in my room

FIRST: MUST HAVE A CAR HERE, DO NOT COME BY TAXI!!!! YOU NEED IT 100% do not make the mistake!! When my girlfriend and I arrived we thought the area was very beautiful, But: Cons: 1) when we arrived in the room, there was a lizard doing a jog around the walls, tip: close the cracks in the ceiling, because thats where he ran out of. 2) the "good" wifi was in the bar about 50 meters away. After a long day of relaxing, I didn't feel like walking 50 meters and sitting at the bar while getting bit by mosquito's.. tip: have more wifi routers, its 2017.. they are not that expensive. 3) I saw that the ocean was on the edge of the property, so i thought to myself oh why dont I go to the beach, there is no beach, there is just stones. One of the workers told me that if i walk along the stone about 70 meters I would reach "white beach" if i remember the name correctly, absolute disaster, it looked like a dump, there was rancid coconut shells, and the amount of fly's was unimaginable in quantity. DO NOT I REPEAT, DO NOT GO TO THE "BEACH" extremely disappointing. 4) As you arrive on the property, you see a sign out front "50% off on arrival". So basically if I didn't make the reservation I would pay half the price, awesome thank you. 5) had the omelette breakfast, it was a bit raw, asked to put it on for a bit longer to cook... What do they do, make me a new one... the SAME exact thing happened, TWO breakfasts in a row. Was literally 3 tables, took 30 minutes to make an omelette.

Nice resort in general. The gardens and grounds are beautiful and tranquil. The waitstaff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are a bit run down and could be upgraded.

Couldn't ask for a more beautiful setting, or cared for property. Great views, delightful staff. Rudy has done an excellent job. Kudos!

We had an amazing time at this hotel. The hotel has an amazing house reef which is excellent for diving & snorkeling. It is probably better than a lot of the islands you can visit nearby. The staff at the hotel are all very helpful. The diving centre was very professional and the massage service was very good. If you are looking for a relaxing hotel at a quality hotel, this is the one.

Very clean, friendly staff, beautiful sunset. We had a calming time there.

Everything was over priced. Only one set menu each evening which was expensive. Room was much smaller than advertised. Staff were very friendly and that was the only saving grace for this resort.

the room was nice but had non of the things advertised in it no tv for my daughter and food was very limited to a three course menui wich was not suted to children

the hotel charges for everything double or triple price. For example you can get a high quality massage in the city for 300p, in the hotel it will cost you 1000p. Food is ok-ish

Very long ride from airport, five hour avg by bus, 1 1/2 by taxi but costly. Arrived very late in evening, hotel shut down, no food available and had to back to a town to eat. Great diving and ocean views.

I only spent one night but it was a very pleasant stay. It's perfect if you dive (I didn't) and as a couple.The service was slow but the evening dinner menu was lovely.The pool area needs updating and there is no beach with full tide.
