"My daughter and I stayed in the Villa which at 300m2 is easily most luxurious accommodation on the island with it's own private pool, garden and private access to the beach."

A gem of refined contemporary opulence, Dolphin House Resort Moalboal commands its place on the stunning shores of Saavedra, Cebu; basking in vibrant beachfront allure. Guests are greeted by a striking lobby, adorned with local craftsmanship and an array of artwork that resonates with the island's spirit. The scent of salty air intertwines with the warmth of hospitality, creating an inviting atmosphere that immediately enchants. Here, the outdoor swimming pool sparkles under the sun, a call to the nearby white sand beaches where scuba diving and kayaking await. Dining at the restaurant is a culinary journey through Asian cuisine, while Ning-Ning Bar serves up refreshing cocktails and a selection of beverages, perfect for languid afternoons. The spa offers pampering that transcends your typical resort experience, with expert hands providing manicures, pedicures, facials, and various indulgent massages, each designed to rejuvenate the weary traveler.

Dolphin House is strategically located just a minute's drive from White Beach Moalboal, and 8 minutes from the bustling Panagsama Beach. Guests seeking adventure will find it just around the corner as they explore the unspoiled beauty of Cebu on daily excursions that include dolphin watching and river climbing. Notable attractions such as Moalboal Pier and Ronda Wharf stand within a short distance for those eager to delve deeper into local culture. Guests will appreciate the convenience of bike rentals for exploring nearby neighborhoods, while the Moalboal Market and Gaisano Grand Mall provide a compact shopping experience. For longer distances, the resort is a mere 85 km from Sibulan.

Room Information

Dolphin House Resort Moalboal features 26 air-conditioned rooms, ranging from intimate double accommodations to spacious bungalows that span up to 750 sq. ft. Each room seamlessly blends traditional décor with modern facilities, providing a refrigerator and minibar, as well as private bathrooms complete with complimentary toiletries. Select rooms offer picturesque views of the lush gardens or the inviting swimming pool, while all accommodations are equipped with safes, desks, and complimentary Wi-Fi access, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Room Upgrades

For guests looking to elevate their experience, the upgraded bungalows start at 650 sq. ft. and include separate living areas, perfect for families or those wanting more space to unwind. Options feature a generous living area with a sofa bed, a fully furnished patio, and soundproof walls to enhance privacy. Each upgraded unit provides highlights such as a private entrance, tea and coffee-making facilities, and luxurious bathrobes, ensuring guests indulge in both comfort and style throughout their stay.

“Dolphin House Resort Moalboal certainly has visual appeal, from its traditional bungalows to its beachfront setting; however, reports suggest the service and food quality might not match the aesthetic, potentially affecting overall value. While the location near beaches and dive spots is convenient, some find the property itself dated and the staff unhelpful in resolving issues, which could detract from a relaxing stay. In my opinion, travelers should weigh these concerns against the location and facilities when making their decision.”
