The Blue Orchid Resort

Olanaklar: Sıcak su duşu ve klima iyi. Ama odada başka hiçbir olanak yok, ne su ısıtıcısı, ne de saç kurutma makinesi. Kendi su ısıtıcınızı getirmeniz veya resepsiyona gidip bir bardak alıp su koymanız gerekiyor. Hijyen: Odamız her gün temizlenmektedir, ancak yüzme havuzu 24 saat açıktır. Bakımını nasıl yapacağımı bilmediğim için havuza gitmeye cesaret edemedim. Neyse ki denize yakın, dolayısıyla denize girip yüzebiliyorsunuz. Çevre: Hem giriş hem de çıkış uzun ve engebeli bir yol gerektiriyor. Denize yakın bir yerde şnorkelli yüzme yapabilirsiniz. Sadece bir otel, hiçbir yıldız seviyesinde hizmet verilmiyor ve sonunda bir hizmet bedeli alınıyor. Ctrip'te en iyi yerel dört yıldızlı otellerden biri olarak listelenmesi yanlıştır. Daha fazla seçenek olmalı. Hizmet: Bohol'daki dalış dükkanlarının aksine burada güvenlik görevlisi yok. Dalgıçlarla gittiğimiz için şnorkel aktivitesine katıldık, rehber pek istekli değildi. Etkinliğe ilişkin kaynak gösterilebilecek bir tanıtım broşürü bulunmamaktadır. Ama sardalyaları görmeye gitmek gerçekten çok keyifli. Oraya gitmek için tekneye binip aktiviteye katılabilirsiniz. Şehir içinde dolaşmaya gerek yok. Özel hatırlatma: Bu ücret Ctrip tarafından kesilmiyor, mağazada nakit olarak ödemeniz gerekiyor. Siparişte bir hatırlatma var, lütfen yanınızda yeterli miktarda nakit bulundurmayı unutmayın.

Çok hoş ve samimi, tenha bir otel. Rahatlamak veya dalış yapmak için mükemmel bir yer. Yemekler güzeldi ve odalarda muhteşem bir deniz manzarası var.

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.

My stay at the Blue Orchid Hotel in the Philippines was absolutely incredible! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the warm hospitality (In particular, Rey + Nikita), stunning surroundings, and top-notch service. The food was exceptional—every meal was a delightful mix of fresh local flavors and expertly prepared dishes. But the real highlight was the excursions, especially the diving! Exploring the vibrant underwater world was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the hotel’s well-organized trips and knowledgeable guides. Whether relaxing by the beach or embarking on thrilling adventures, every moment at the Blue Orchid Hotel was pure perfection. I can’t wait to return!

It’s a lovely spot to base yourself for diving for a few days. Super nice staff. Rooms are clean. Air conditioning works. Do be advised you are 20 minutes by bumpy trike from the shops and village. No big deal but their in house restaurant is a little quirky. When we arrived they said last order was at 730. Ok no problem, we will plan accordingly. Then at 640 while swimming in the pool I get asked what I want for dinner as the kitchen is closing. Umm, relax, this is. It what was communicated to us. I get out of the pool at 7 and the second guy approaches me. What do you want for dinner? I will tell you before last order at 730. This behavior is a little stressful when the nearest option is a ways down a bumpy road. We got our dinner on the end but vowed never to dinner there again. My advice - follow the rules posted at your own pool and relax and mellow. No worries, no time constraints. Diving is excellent. You can’t miss the sardine run and by doing it from the resort you miss the beach touts in town. The only hiccups were #1 - they made an unplanned stop in town (at the beach) on the first day between dives. Had they have told us we would have brought money to get a cool drink. The #2 was more serious. We were a bit bummed we didn’t get pictures of our first day diving. We asked if they had a camera. They said no problem, 1000 pesos per day - here’s the form. Why didn’t they offer proactively the first day? However the camera had a low charged and died within 10 minutes. The pictures we salvaged were of poor quality. Why would you invest all this money in diving gear, boats and staff and not offer a decent camera? Stuff like this blows my mind but probably just me. Be aware they only clean every second day. No big deal but if you are trying to save the plumbing it would be nice if they removed the dirty toilet paper from the room bins without asking. I’m not trying to be harsh here, just pointing out simple things they can do to raise their travel appeal. On the room cleaning I will note that on those days they don’t clean the room they definitely enter the rooms to turn off unnecessary lights and air con. Perhaps this is when they can do a toilet paper change? I’d also love them to have ice readily available as there are no fridges and it’s freaking hot. Great value for money though and if you want the joys of Moalboal without the touts give it a go.
