Dolce Vita Resort Moalboal

This post is also available in:

Moalboal is one of the leading tourist destinations on Cebu. There is a wide range of places to stay, from hostels and hotels to resorts that suit every budget. One of our favorite places to stay in Moalboal is the Dolce Vita Resort. It stands out not only for its excellent location, but also for its charming bungalows and exceptionally welcoming staff. You’ll find all the key information about our recommended hotel in Moalboal in the article below.

Location: Dolce Vita Resort Moalboal

The Dolce Vita Resort* stands out for its ideal location. It sits far enough outside the town center to guarantee a quiet atmosphere, while restaurants and bars are still an easy walk away. Right around the Dolce Vita Resort you’ll find plenty of small shops selling everyday essentials and fresh fruit. Across from the entrance there is a bar and grill restaurant (Kuan Resto Bar) that stays open late into the night. If you’re worried it might be loud, you’ll be pleasantly surprised: the bar plays quiet music and closes strictly at midnight.

The location of the Dolce Vita Resort is also ideal if you want to explore the surrounding area, such as White Beach. By scooter you can reach Moalboal’s beautiful beach in just 10 minutes.

Night owls, meanwhile, can be in the tourist center in around 5 minutes on foot, with its bars and restaurants; Chilli Bar and the Jungle Place & Bar can be reached in a 10–15 minute walk.

The area is also safe at night, and we never felt uneasy walking along the streets to the resort at any time of day.

• Address: Uno Bantayan Road, Moalboal, 6032 Lalawigan ng Cebu, Philippines
• Check-in / check-out: 12:00 p.m. / 2:00 p.m.

Rooms & prices: Dolce Vita Resort Moalboal

The Dolce Vita Resort has bungalows only, available in various sizes. The small standard bungalows, which cost around 30 euros per night, make for a cozy stay. There are also larger rooms and a deluxe bungalow with a separate bedroom, the latter at around 60 euros per night. All of the bungalows are clean and have a small terrace or veranda that is perfect for relaxing.

The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are fitted out to a good Asian standard. The rooms have air conditioning and a refrigerator, and in some cases smart TVs as well. In the well-kept garden you’ll also find cabanas that are ideal for get-togethers or meals outdoors.

In terms of price, look, and style, the Dolce Vita Resort is generally reminiscent of a bungalow resort like those you find in Thailand. The Dolce Vita Resort in Moalboal is one of the few places to stay that felt right for us from the start, and it offers very good value for money.

Food & drink at the Dolce Vita Resort

The dining options at the Dolce Vita Resort focus exclusively on breakfast, but it is served through to midday. The breakfast menu is impressively varied, with options for healthy dishes and local rice meals. The fresh shakes and the delicious banana pancake are especially recommended. Fresh fruit can also be ordered at breakfast, which makes the selection even more varied. The prices for the freshly prepared breakfast are, incidentally, very fair.

In addition, a minibar in the room and a refrigerator at reception with water, beer, and soft drinks are available around the clock. Free water dispensers also help make sure guests are always well supplied.

All in all, the Dolce Vita Resort offers not only a pleasant place to stay, but also a tasty, varied breakfast before you head out for an exciting day around Moalboal.

Other amenities at the Dolce Vita Resort

The Dolce Vita Resort offers a range of services to make guests’ stays even more enjoyable. These include scooter rental at very fair prices, starting from 300 PHP. This gives guests a convenient and inexpensive way to explore the area. The resort also offers affordable day trips and tours that are often cheaper than comparable offers in the town center.

Our experience at the Dolce Vita Resort Moalboal

Our experience at the Dolce Vita Resort was extremely positive. The staff proved to be exceptionally friendly and the owner was especially kind and attentive. The resort, which was only recently built, was in immaculate condition – extremely clean and well maintained. Housekeeping was carried out very reliably and promptly. The rooms themselves are simple, but they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The air conditioners are brand new and work as they should. The charming garden and the perfectly kept pool, which can be used until 10:00 p.m., also added to our sense of well-being.

All in all, we can only report positive things about the Dolce Vita Resort. It is on a par with bungalow properties in Thailand and offers a delightful stay in Moalboal at a very reasonable price. The quiet location is also worth highlighting, which should make anyone happy who doesn’t always want to be in the middle of Moalboal’s tourist bustle.
