Staying at Emoha was so far our best experience while travelling in the Philippines. From the first step into the property we felt at ease. The resort is beautifully designed, clean, quiet, as it’s away from the main road and safe. All the facilities are well maintained, organized and well taken care of, starting from the floor of the resort up to the roof which to me looked like engineer’s masterpiece. Rooms are very specious with a big balcony and amazing view, quiet AC, comfortable bed, clean bathroom with strong water pressure and abundance of hot water, drinking water was available at the water station downstairs. Resort has a swimming pool, hammocks and you can also order massage and will be accommodated with massage beds right there in the garden with soothing sea breeze. During our stay we visited Oslob Whale Shark watching point which is 20 minutes drive away and Aguinid Falls, we went snorkelling every day and couldn’t get enough of it! Special thanks to our gracious host Lottie who welcomed us, Rafael resort's diving instructor who shared about great coral reef wonders which were just a step away from the resort, helpful and smiling girls and wonderful chef who amazed us with her cooking skills. In the future we would definitely like to stay at Emoha and can recommend it to someone who’s looking for a comfortable stay with great style.

A very relaxing place! This resort is very peaceful and wonderful little getaway place. Lottie, one of owners, is so helpful on booking whale-sharks watch. my daughter really enjoyed it. Snorkeling right in front of the resort. the water is very clean has many colorful fishes, purple and fresh blue starfishes, Nemo’s family and lovely corals. we spent hours snorkeling during the day. the lounge chairs by the pool look simple but surprisingly comfortable to lie down read or fell to naps. At evening, Lottie arranged massages for us in the garden with very reasonable price. My 13 year-old daughter loves to lie down on the hammock in the morning and watching the stars and listening the waves in the evening. Staffs are very friendly, we ordered almost everything on the menu during our stay, shrimp, fish, chicken and beef are all very good. My daughter build her own vegetarian pizza and was made deliciously by the kitchen! my favorite is their organic house salad with fresh mango! We had fresh coconuts water, papaya fruits daily after some water activities. they are from the tree on the property picked by the staff. The room is very clean, the bed is really comfortable, better than looked on the pictures. the sunset view is beautiful. we stayed three nights and enjoyed entirely, wish to stay longer. will definitely come back!!

loved everything!

For us, it was an oasis. We felt like home, but most of all we loved how accommodating the owners and staff were. Everything is done with a lot of respect for the surroundings, and all materials and details have been carefully chosen. We could rent a great scooter from the property and explore the area - they advised us to go to Aguinid falls, a place not sopopular amongst tourists and incredibly beautiful. It was completely different than all accommodations we had in the Philippines. Just keep in mind that if you fly to Cebu City, the distance of less than 90 km is done in 4-5 hours, so consider choosing Damaguete Airport, is way much closer. Emoha is very close also to Oslob Whale sharks watchig, 15 minutes by scooter. Also, if you love to dive or snorkel, the beach in front of the property offers spectacular reef views. To conclude, the photos are exactly like the reality, or even less. We recommend it with all our hearts! Thank you for everything! Madalina and Cedric

Our stay at Emoha Dive Resort was exceptional. The welcoming owners and attentive staff made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure our trip was memorable. The main reason we were in the area was to see the whale sharks in Oslob, and the team was incredibly helpful with arranging transport and guiding us through the ticketing process. Their support made the experience seamless and stress-free. The resort itself is beautiful—our room was clean, comfortable, and eco-friendly, and we loved the delicious vegetarian meal options. For snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, the coral reefs just off the property are stunning, and exploring them was a true highlight. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with outstanding service and easy access to incredible underwater adventures, Emoha Dive Resort is an excellent choice. We hope to return soon!

I liked everything. I do wish I had known in advance to bring cash for incidentals and meals.

Location, nice room, views, sunsets, a clean area, and silent surrounding where you can really relax.

almost no beach to bask in.

We really enjoyed the food there; every dish we ordered was delicious (none like other restaurants we tried in Cebu), and the ocean view added to the experience. We liked it so much that we ended up having both lunch and dinner on the same day. The fresh tuna tataki is a must-try! Additionally, the interior design is quite aesthetic, and the room was very clean. The owner and the staffs are very friendly and helpful - always smiling. The driver the owner arranged on our way back to Cebu city was also very nice and the ride was very comfortable.

Lotti and the service team were amazing and took care of everything! Literally EVERYTHING! Emoha was totally worth the drive from Cebu airport. We tried to extend our visit it was soooo GOOD. Lotti used her local knowledge and expertise to secure very well priced tours for swimming with the whale sharks/sandspit/aquinid falls, all including a driver (Ryan) who was fantastic. Lotti also arranged for a driver for our family of 3 from Cebu airport and he (Armando) was also great and fast safe driver. Oslob whale is only 25min via Jeepnie. Lotti also arranged for massages for my wife and I at a great price right along the beach listening to the waves. Talk about relaxing! The food at the resort was delicious and the staff was great and took care of all our needs. Drinking water is provided. So are towels for excursions! Basically everything you could think of from a boutique hotel was provided or thought of. No details were left unattended. Very clean, good reef to snorkel right in front of resort. And talk about beautiful sunsets! The pool was perfect and perfect for cooling off in. We didn’t take advantage of the the diving , but from my viewpoint they have it ALL. The service staff (May-Ann, Ira, Kevin etc) were all fantastic and kind. The rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. Wifi is good all around the resort. Basically you can tell Lotti has a passion for this and you should pay Emoha Dive resort a visit. The best part is that all tours and transportation, meals, drinks that Lottie sets up for you, is all paid for at the end via PayPal or transfer to the hotel. This is a minor detail however very convenient especially because the Philippines is a very cash driven economy with little credit card availability. And it is very difficult to find a ATM with cash. If you do bring cash make sure to have smaller denominations! Cheers and do yourself a favor and book your stay at Emoha Dive resort!

It would be easy to say the drive from Cebu airport, but once you arrive it is TOTALLY worth the drive. Make sure to stay +3 days!

The place is a gem, me and my family feel relaxed and comfortable. The food and drink is nice. Lottie and the whole staff are lovely, polite and helpful. activities such as diving, Falls, dining out and massage is a bonus that can be arranged with them, they have knowledge in the area and give advice. I love it when you come into the room it smells gorgeous like you're in a SPA. There is no television in the room and why not your on holiday. There is WiFi though. Our room is facing the sea so I wake up and enjoy the beautiful view or swing in the hammock. The snorkeling area is just in the front but you have to be careful not to step on sea urchins and corals. Overall, the place has a lot to offer. We stayed here twice.

After staying in big resorts and hotels it was nice to arrive here. We loved that the room had a balcony and we spent many hours relaxing and looking out to the view. The staff were super friendly and the bed comfortable. Although we didn't make use of them, they seem to have a good selection of dive courses so check those out before deciding to go with other operators as some of them are not good.

It was hard to find out what services they offered at Emoha prior to arrival which made it hard to plan. We would have loved to had received a house manual containing information about food services offered, tours and diving service offered etc, and things to do in the area. The staff were friendly however not always forth coming with information.

We booked for 1 night so we could see the whale sharks at Oslob but ended up staying for 3. It is a small luxury resort with everything you could possibly want. Beautiful scenery to look at, pool, modern very clean facilities, friendly staff and great food. A place to totally relax. You can snorkel out the front to see amazing coral and tropical fish. We didn’t dive but it’s all there for you with good quality equipment and very experienced divers. Highly recommend this place to stay.
