Ravenala Beach Bungalows

We loved this place. The people were amazing, the service was excellent and we loved the beach area and the ambiance. A small, secluded family style resort that we were able to sit and have a conversation while the staff brought us coffee, tea, water and food. We were completely relaxed the whole time. As a person who travels many times per year, my experience here was one of the best. Mostly because of the staff. They were outstanding. I’ve stayed at some of the most expensive places in the USA, and the service here blew those 5 star expensive resorts away. I would stay here again. It’s nice to be around personable, friendly people who are committed to making your stay comfortable. Thank you Teresita and your wonderful staff! ♥️♥️

This is the BEST place I’ve stayed at for a vacation, and I meant THE BEST. From the first day of arrival after a long drive from Cebu city, we were greeted by Ravenala’s lovely team. The beach bungalow was clean and the staff already turned on the A/C to welcome us. I love the bamboo furniture (bed frame and chairs), very eco friendly. The climate was actually really nice, the sea breeze at night was cooling enough that we didn’t need the AC at all. I’ve had some of the best sleep at Ravenala, with the sound of the waves in the background, I slept like a baby. Shoutout to Maria and all the lovely staff who tended to our needs, from dining to booking taxi or tuk tuk, gave honest advice on prices and made sure we were not overcharged. She always addressed us by our name and made us feel like part of the family. I insisted on hugging Maria at the end of our trip and genuinely felt sad that we had to leave. Breakfast was yummy. There was a selection of continental or Filipino breakfast with eggs, hams, sausages, bacon, toast, jam, butter, fresh fruit, juice and free flow of brewed coffee. Dinner option was great too. We enjoyed the serene atmosphere so much that we chose to avoid the crowded Panagsama and ate onsite every night. The staff will come take your order for dinner in the afternoon and adjust according to your schedule. From the beach bungalow, it is only less than 50m to the shore of White beach, which is clean and stunning. My partner and I could swim on our own out to the reefs within 100m to shore and spotted more than 10 turtles in just one swim. There were sardine runs too. Throughout our stay, we snorkelled and free dive 2-3 times everyday. We love the place so much that we regretted booking only 3 nights. Ravenala, we will be back 🥰

We had great time here. Beach is very good, reef too. If you are a good swimmer you can swim to the end of it. In 3 days I have seen maybe 30 turtles. Turtles are just behind de reef, sometimes you can spot them sleeping . We freedive for them, great experience. The staff was great: Maria is awesome. We definitely will be back.

Best location for this charming resort which boasts a magnificent garden with big trees and beautiful plants. On the middle of the best beach of the area with clear water and a very rich house reef for snorkeling. Very comfortable bungalows, some a few centimeters from the beach. Excellent breakfast and restaurant. Reasonable price. Your best adress in Moalboal!!

Filipino hospitality at its best! Staff was extra-caring and gave us a room upgrade. Kudos to Maria who was always helpful and gave her full attention to details. The bungalows were spacious and very comfortable. The beach was a stone's throw away and the snorkelling was just marvelous! We felt very relaxed during our stay and would want to go back. In fact, my children didn't want to leave at all.

Very low key and relaxed. Basic but comfortable rooms. Restaurant served great food and drinks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their biggest treasures are their tranquil and green garden as well as their house coral reef, where we spotted many beautiful fish and even 3 turtles! Service was amazing too, very helpful and sweet group of girls running the place. Good to know: further away from Moalboal town, which wasn’t a problem for us as we wanted quiet. Also, cash only!

Since covid-19 era, a lot of us are stuck and unable to visit great places in our country -Philippines.Trust that we can explore this beautiful land again.. slowly. One great experience we had in Ravenala Moalboal Cebu, our whole family enjoyed our stay especially the kids. Its clean, safe, great food, very accommodating staff headed by Maria & Mari, even the owners: Teresita & her husband Edward warmly welcome us in their resort or should I call paradise. I highly recommend this place.

We opted for the quieter White Beach area instead of the hopping scene of the Panagsama Beach . We were very glad we did. Ravenala had beautiful and well manicured grounds and the rooms were pretty spacious although basic. The restaurant had a pretty good menu and the staff were all wonderful and accommodating. We got to know the owner of the resort, Teresita Saavedra Schaap and she was just wonderful! Would highly recommend this resort and hope to come back next visit.

Staff is top-notch! Lovely ladies are always smiling, helpful and awesome. Everyone was amazing. Room is big, clean, and facing the ocean ( stayed at room #1) I loved to wake up and see the blue sea Away from the busy town center. Always quiet and has breeze of fresh air from the sea. You can rent a scooter and tour the area but you'll be very happy to come back to this peaceful heaven. On the beach! Wifi could be better...
