This is a small adorable property a block or so from the entrance point to the sardine run. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. There's a charming outdoor dining area close by the pool, which is beautifully landscaped. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Meals and cocktails at the restaurant were tasty, but if you need some variety, there is another restaurant about a block away. For the sardines, walk down to the main road and turn right. Across the street from the Strandhaus, there are some snorkel guides (Amazing Snorkel) who will swim with you to see the sardines for a reasonable price. The guides are worth it-- they dive down to direct the sardines towards you and will help you get great photos.

Everything was perfect. Wish we'd had another day to stay.

Very nice, private, quiet, boutique property. The hotel common and pool areas were clean and functional. We were doing a lot of activities during the day, so it was nice that they had a good restaurant on the property.

The staff was warm and welcoming, but since they also were working the front desk and the restaurant, I found it hard to get their attention at times. There were weird insects that resembled small rolly pollys that kept on crawling into our room at night. They did not bite, but I did end up stepping on them when running into bathroom at night.

As it says in the name, a secret paradise. It’s located outside of the main road but only a 5/10 minute walk away. It’s truly a hidden oasis, with the pool surrounded by trees, plenty of shelter and the aesthetic is gorgeous. The rooms were spacious and the shower was big, with hot water always available. The minibar had a good selection of drinks and snacks, and the a/c was perfect. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and made us feel very welcome. We ate at their restaurant most nights and the food was lovely, with good cocktails (and reasonably priced too). The pool was lovely, not too hot or cold, and they also had a pool table and darts board, so a great place to stay and relax.

The pillows in the room weren’t the most comfortable.

Amazing hotel, great location and friendly staff. We loved our stay in Moalboal! The rooms are big and clean, the pool is super nice to relax at. The location is towards the end of the little street with lots of stores and restaurants around - we actually found this the best place to stay in Moalboal. The showers were hot (some past comments complained about that.. ) and rooms were cleaned upon request. No breakfast included,we ate once at the hotel and the rest of the time in town. Overall we would recommend it 100%!

Nothing to complain, we loved our stay!

Absolutely perfect location, it is a very short walk to the most incredible snorkelling we did it ourselves with no guide and saw soo many different species of fish and turtles, pool was quiet, close to all the restaurants.

The pillows were very hard so it was difficult to sleep on, the place only takes cash and although they tell you its a short walk to the atm which it is, a lot of the atms run out of cash on the island so come prepared with lots of cash beforehand.

My family and I spent 5 days at this very lovely hotel. It is tucked away from the busy Panagsama area yet, it is only a 10-minute walk into the buzzling streets. One can always eat at the hotel restaurant or try various restaurants in Panagsama. The hotel is very accessible to the beach area where we swam with turtles. Secret Paradise has lived up to its name! It was peaceful and a restful place with such a homey feel. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful especially accommodating accessibility needs of a family member. They have their own parking area which makes it easy to load and unload and it is relaxing to get in and out of the hotel if you have a vehicle. This is unlike the hotels in the middle of town, as we have observed, where tricycles, vans, and motorcycles were all over the place, in a very tiny street, which makes it quite manic during peak season. Overall, Secret Paradise is a real gem in Moalboal.

It would even be better if the doors would properly close and lock as they had gaps where mosquitoes came in. It would be great if we had functioning safe as this wasn't addressed during our entire stay. It would also be great if the lot at the back could be cleared and cleaned to keep mosquitoes away.

I wasnt able to make my reservation during the night because my bags were lost at the airport. However, I went to Moalboal in the morning, and when my Canyoneering got cancelled early in the morning the staff at Secret Paradise let me check into my room and at least stay until checkout time. Room was clean and the property looked beautiful. Too bad we weren't able to enjoy the amenities. Its close by to a lot of restaurants and shops. Also close to the beach where you can swim with the Sardines.

There was a typhoon so we couldn't use the amenities. But of course that is not the hotels fault

Beautiful property - it really is a secret paradise! Stunning grounds with so many beautiful plants and flowers which add to the privacy of all the rooms set around the pool. Felt like we were the only ones there even though it was fully booked. Beautiful large and clean room. Lovely, friendly and welcoming staff with great dinner and breakfasts. Staff helped oraganising trips and transfers. Perfect location just a few steps from the beach but very quiet. Also had a pool table and darts. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nothing!

Fantastic small paradise! Very quiet and located close to a sea which gives a lots of opportunities if you want to explore the area. They also offer some tours, so just ask on reception! Rooms are very spacious with your our small area in front of them. Staff is very friendly and prepares one of the best dishes is Moalboal. If you want to relax, there is a nice pool and sunbeds where you can just lay down and enjoy your drinks. As a small extra: darts and pool to keep you entertained even more.

This hotel is beautiful. It's a hidden paradise, literally! The staff is so friendly and accomodating and it is about a 3 minute walk to the Sardine run area. The pool is beautiful, and the food and drinks were great as well. The only reason I gave this a 9 instead of a 10 is because the beds were super hard. You won't be disappointed with this hotel.

The mattresses on the bed were really hard. Everything else was perfect. Drinks were great...try the Lychee mojito...the food was great. No complaints really.
