Alegría : locations de vacances en bord de mer

Lovely house. Everybody is very helpful and always available. Only thing is, if you want to book any activity or taxi from cebu, try booking it on your own and not through them. Huge price difference for the same services and experiences. We did this mistake and booked few things from them, and later when we got to know the real prices, it was shocking.

Thank You Leah, your mom and to the rest of the staff especially Junior!! It was an amazing stay, felt like home and most of all my pet chiki enjoyed it the most. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The room is clean the design of the villa is well planned. The area is peaceful yet walking distance to the main area of panagsama. Extra patience on the road going in if you bring a car as it is small road though locals are very willing to help and adjust 😉. Overall, a great stay and would definitely come back. See you soon Junior!!! 😊

Highly recommend! Place is pet friendly. Easy to find. Near establishment (Restos and attractions). Peaceful and quiet, the staff is friendly and the owner is very responsive.

My family recently had the pleasure of staying at the French Villa Santander, and it was a lovely experience. From the moment we booked, arrived and checked-out, the host and the caretakers ensured our comfort and satisfaction. The luxurious accommodation made our stay truly relaxing and feeling home away from home. My family want to stay in this villa again. More so, the villa’s location is just a few minutes drive to Oslob Whale Shark Watching location. We highly recommend this place.

Lovely place, birthday well spent as the house is very homey and is capable to Host large group. You get to interact with the pawikans as well as they linger in the beach premises.

Un superbe séjour dans cette maison juste incroyable ! L eau de la mer était agitée donc pas génial pour le snorkeling et appart profiter de cette environnement de rêve il n y a pas grand chose à faire… cependant si vous venez dans l idée d un séjour reposant ou entre amis c le top

Great communication and 24/7 security and caretaker. Caretaker was very hospitable and no problem to tough to resolve. House was clean and tidy and great view over the sea. Unfortunately both my wife and I are light sleepers and the main 4 lane highway is between the house and the sea. Traffic was 24/7 so we got little sleep and thus left a day earlier.

Balay Kalachuchi is one place worth checking out for a staycation. Beautiful place and view. Definitely, a place to relax and enjoy the scenery and the beach. We promised ourselves to come back.

Great place to stay in moalboal. Cracking sunsets, comfy beds and a vet all a great place to stay. The housekeeper was amazing and super helpful. Thank you for a great stay

A very beautiful home in a lovely setting. Very picturesque right on the beach. We loved the pool it was perfect. Fair warning the road coming in is quite rough, you wouldn’t want to be driving a car in and out more than once a day. We opted to cook most of our meals instead of going to restaurants. Great location for canyoneering at Kawasan falls and also not too far from Oslob for the whale sharks. The caretakers that were on the property were attentive and lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a remote getaway, it was very quiet and relaxing. Thank you so much :)

This place was the perfect find! Right by the beach with steps leading to the water, a clean pool, chill vibes, quiet but walkable to the main strip, and friendly dogs. Roomwas clean and of considerable size. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the reception. What a gem of a place!

The charged bill of the electrcity is understandable since the rate of the electric company is quite high. all in all my experience in the place is so far great. Place will recharge you sea windy breeze, view is amazing and the place is so solemn my mind is full charge. Thanks jake and ate erma all in all the price is justified the electricity bill.

Super loved our stay! The hospitality of the personnel, the white sand beach, the pool, the accommodation, everything is just perfect the way we expected! Itac and Stacy (their dogs) are friendly too. thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful place! will surely be back soon.

By far the best experience we had. Everything was perfect!!! All their staff were so professional. The host as well was very accommodating. We will definitely come back soon..Thanks!

Pacific Lounge is an amazing place to stay - the location is beautiful and just as advertised. Maria was a fantastic host and answered any questions really quickly. Sweet and Irma were also brilliant. could not recommend this place enough!

My stay at Valeria's went great. The access to the private beach and the swimming pool were amazing. The appartment was very clean and will all equipements mentionned. The breakfast was great with a choice. I had the philippino breakfast that came together with fruit bowl and juice. Much better than most hotel. The person that received us was welcoming and aswered to our need.

A beautiful, peaceful escape from the city. John, the host, was incredibly helpful and arranged everything so we could reach the island with ease. The place is remote with stunning views, a serene beach, and little to no cell signal—perfect for a digital detox. But no worries if you need to connect—the resort has fast Wi-Fi. Special mention to Aden Khalil, the sweetest boy I played with every morning—his energy and smile made my days brighter! The locals were warm, respectful, and never intrusive, unlike in other more crowded islands. Bring your own snorkel gear—there’s vibrant marine life just steps from shore. I also recommend planning your meals ahead and bringing supplies from the mainland. If you prefer not to cook, nearby resorts are happy to serve walk-in guests—just inform them before 4PM so they can prepare. Everything about this place felt genuine, calm, and recharging. Would love to return and stay even longer next time. A true hidden gem worth experiencing.

It’s perfect for my big family. Everyone was comfortable. We enjoyed the clean pool. Care takers are very helpful.

The unit is simple one room, clean, comfortable, air conditioner, quiet, right next to small public beach, and across from new resort, with public beach, and restaurants.

If you like privacy, peace and quiet, this location has two rooms overlooking the sea and an excellent protected coral reef for experienced snorkelers, a view of the channel and Cebu. If you want Dumaguete nightlife and restaurants, its a 45 to 60 minute drive. A bit tricky to find the red gate the first time, just past the CK gas station going north from San Jose. There are lots of carendarias nearby, and a nice rooftop resto at Wuthering Heights about 5 min drive. Best enjoyed if you have a car, but local transport is cheap/abundant during the day. At this time, the highway north from Dumaguete is under construction in numerous places, and at night, many motorcycles and tricycles drive without lights -- so you really need to pay attention. There are many new fast cars, trucks and buses, but these are often blocked in single lane areas by slow moving motorcycles, tricycles and jeepneys -- so beware -- lots of illegal passing going on... Super nice host and staff.

I was travelling with my elderly mom and my young daughter. My mom appreciated the daily housekeeping, my kid loved the pool. For me, what stood out was the location - not too far from key areas but away from the crowded touristy parts. The only concern I raised was the internet - it was weak and kept getting disconnected. It meant I couldn't get some online work done, but also that I just had to surrender to relaxing in Sofia's place. 🙂 And yes, there is a new, friendly owner. Some issues I've previously read in google reviews would no longer be true. 😏

Boris and Itena are lovely hosts. The Villa is as shown and very good equipped. It is very tidy and the best water pressure I ever had in the phillipines. Good and quiet aircons cool the sleeping room and living room. There is a pool in the inner courtyard, perfect depth for europeans to chill. I was allowed to use it every time, no restrictipns like at other Accommodations. You shall rent a scooter to stroll around, go to shops, restaurants and beaches. They provide so many recommendations for your stay. When I arrived there was a tasty welcome gift in the fridge. On my birthday they suprised me with another gift and introduced me to their friends. Overall I loved the stay here and would have wished to stayed longer. Thank you both very much, I hope to see you again.

Nous avons été enchantés de notre séjour. Le logement est impeccable avec beaucoup d'attention portée aux petits détails, rien ne manque. Peter et Rowena sont toujours disponibles sans jamais être envahissants. L'un des points décisifs qui avait retenu notre attention est l'accès direct à la mer et nous n'avons pas été déçus, l'endroit est parfait pour le snorkeling et la plongée. C'est très calme, de jour comme de nuit. La contrepartie est qu'il faut un moyen de transport mais nous avions une voiture donc pas de souci pour nous. Merci pour votre accueil et ne changez rien, tout est parfait.
