Gerty's Tourist Inn Powered by Cocotel

The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful! I felt so welcome. It was my first time in the Philippines, and they patiently answered all my travel questions and provided great assistance. The common areas have super gentle resident dogs and cats, who are very well-behaved. The facilities are a little bit dated; mainly, the refrigerator made a slight noise when cooling (though you can just unplug it). Breakfast is à la carte and delicious, especially the corned beef, I think it was called. I slept very soundly. We booked the Sardine Run (our first snorkeling experience) and canyoning through the hotel. Here's how it went: the Sardine Run was 1900 pesos per person? I forgot the price for canyoning, but it wasn't expensive at all, and totally worth it!

We stayed in March 2026. Everything was lovely. The hotel grounds are full of flowers, all well-maintained and neatly trimmed. There's a large gazebo, and even taps where you can rinse off your shoes and swimsuits. There's also a cooking area, which we used. The room has everything you need: a kettle, mugs, glasses, a fridge, and even a small multicooker. The location is excellent, with everything nearby! As you exit the gate, the road to the beach is on the right, and the road to the food court, stalls, and various cafes is on the left. It's a quiet and peaceful place. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Right after checking in, I spotted a huge cockroach next to the air conditioner. I reported it to the staff, but they said a refund or room change wasn't possible. Later, I saw another one in the kitchen area – a flying cockroach about the length of my finger. Five hours before check-out, I stepped out briefly and returned to find the room lights, AC, and fan all turned off.

Excellent location! Impeccably clean. The atmosphere was lovely and homely. The hotel hosts helped us arrange a taxi to the airport for 5 AM, organized a boat trip, and even arranged a high-quality massage in our room. They also gave me a warm birthday greeting. Thank you!

The guesthouse has a pleasant, green area with gazebos and garden furniture. There's hot water 24/7 thanks to an instant water heater in the bathroom. It's a 5-7 minute walk to the beach, where you can see sardines and turtles. On the way, you can rent a snorkel for 100 pesos, no deposit needed. The guesthouse offers breakfast, but we didn't take it. Just a five-minute walk from the guesthouse (turn left out of the gate) there's a huge food court and many cafes with great prices and variety. There's an ATM at the entrance to the food court, and about a hundred meters up the street (away from the sea) there's a 24-hour money exchange. The guesthouse hosts are welcoming and friendly. We booked a trip to Kawasan Falls and canyoneering in Badian through them (it was 300 pesos more expensive than what's offered on the beach, but we were happy with the organization of the trip). Unfortunately, there are downsides too. The air conditioning in the room is incredibly noisy – even earplugs don't help; it feels like sleeping in a helicopter. Luckily, it rained on the second night, so we didn't need the AC. There are many animals at the guesthouse, so watch your step! And there were small ants running around in the room.

This is a guesthouse run by very kind and lovely women. Everything was great; the place itself is pleasant, clean, and well-maintained. The location is good – it's a 10-minute walk to Turtle Beach. We ordered breakfast, and for the price, it was fantastic – ham omelet, mango, bread, salad, plus coffee and juice. It cost 200 pesos and was very filling. We also rented a motorbike from the owners for 350 pesos a day, which was super convenient. We'll definitely recommend this place to anyone we know who's traveling to Moalboal.
