The Blue Orchid Resort

Amazing for diving and snorkling. Very family friendly but could also be nice for couples. Amazing staff, very friendly and overall a very good resort. Amazing dive resort. Right on the water with beautiful scenery. Great coral dives as they have a coral wall right out frount of resort which was our favourite of the trip.

Warmth, kindness and an absolute joy to stay at Blue Orchid. The resort is nestled serenely in nature with beautifully growing trees, serenading songbirds and you have a vast reef right in front of you each morning. I completed my Advanced open water dive with Adam at the resort. We had varied dives visiting the sardines run and the night dive where we were lucky to see 3 turtles. Very patient and good humoured too. Hospitality of staff is another level, with genuine warmth and kindness to make your stay extra special. Always accommodating to any travel arrangements or in my case a very late night BLT on arrival. I met a wonderful array of people with insightful conversations. Be sure to speak to everyone, from the staff and Michael too. For a stay in Moalboal that is peaceful, away from the business of life and offers you absolute joy, be sure to stay at Blue Orchid.

I’ve never written a review before but the staff were so friendly and accommodating I couldn’t resist. Michael the owner on hearing of my sun burns brought fresh aloe to my room unprompted to help. The view from the room was amazing especially during a storm. The hotel is out of town so nice and quiet if that’s what you’re looking for. The diving was amazing, Nathan was a great guide and the night dive was so easy just walking out from the hotel. Such an amazing experience.
