It's a really nice place overall, a 10/10 experience. The location is ideal for resting and relaxing, as it's quite far from Moalboal, but still conveniently close to well-known waterfalls and shark swimming spots. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Loved the place. Went with my family, 10 people, and we had plenty of space to accommodate everyone! Would come back again. The place was great, and met most of our expectations.

This villa felt like a home away from home! My family really enjoyed staying there and loved the food. The owner is very friendly and approachable, and the staff helped with all our needs. Would definitely find time to visit again!

A lovely stay in Makati. Great location, close to everything. Not too flashy or over the top, it reminded me of my family home in the province. Will certainly return!

Such a beautiful property, full of personality and charm. The property staff were extremely helpful in coordinating activities. The pictures do match what you get! Also the wifi is great; I was able to keep working without any bandwidth restraints throughout the house.

Definitely a place you'd want to stay for a peaceful and restorative retreat. The staff were friendly and proactive, and the hut itself was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for friends looking for a quiet, nature-centered getaway.

Quiet, cozy, great place. We had the whole saltwater pool to ourselves, and staff set up an anniversary dinner at night. Amazing host and co-host response time, a superb experience. Will return.

The apartment is cute and has everything you may need for a long-term stay. Close by there's a night market and many shops, and it's fairly close to the airport and resorts. The host, Madame G., was very kind and responsive.

Perfect private place to spend time with family. The infinity pool is a plus, and they have fun stuff for outdoor activities: kayak, inflatables, and paddle boards! The staff were so helpful, approachable, and kind.

The host and the caretakers ensured our comfort and satisfaction. The luxurious accommodation made our stay truly relaxing, home away from home. Just a few minutes' drive to Oslob whale-shark watching. We highly recommend this place.

A beautiful home in the very southern part of Cebu, literally right on the beach with an aquarium right outside the back door in the ocean. You don't even have to go anywhere to snorkel. The staff was wonderful and breakfast was prepared each morning, included in the price. Close enough to Oslob to swim with the whale sharks.

Everything was perfect, from the amenities to the cozy ambiance. What I love most is the mattress! I slept like a baby and woke up like I'm in my 20s. So worth it. Thank you, Madame G!

Two saltwater pools of impeccable cleanliness in front of a panoramic view of the sea, the island of Sumilon opposite, and the Dumaguete mountains on the right. The kitchen is well equipped and the lovely staff take care of you. Everything you need for an unforgettable holiday. [Translated by Airbnb from French]

The house is on the water and has amazing views, about 20 minutes from Oslob. It's decorated very nicely and is very charming. The staff was very nice and they had a great pantry of food items to buy, plus a great hot shower which can be hard to find.

Absolutely worth every $ and the trek. Private, spacious, accommodating, concierge service, and kind host. Teza arranged a driver, food delivery, a masseuse to the house, and scuba trips. She turned a poorly planned trip into an amazing time; she went above and beyond. Don't be scared of the distance; this place is worth it.

Very nice place and close to Oslob and the whale sharks. Teza was very responsive and helpful. Ben took care of us when we needed anything and cooked a delicious breakfast. They even allowed us to stay a few more hours after checkout. Thank you for hosting our family.

Just one word, wow! The comforts of a home with the prestige of a 5-star villa and the service of Teza and her team is impeccable. The photos here do not give it justice. StarLink, Netflix, modern appliances, aircon in every room. It didn't feel like we left the metropolis.

An OUTSTANDING view, reason enough to come back, but the rest of the house is just beautiful. You may consider this more a hotel as you get a lot of services: complimentary breakfast, fruits and water for free. Really nice.
