MDF Beach Resort

We had such an excellent stay at MDF that we extended another night! The cottages are right on the sea front, and you can hear the waves crashing 24/7, some even splashing onto our window! Everyone was really friendly and welcoming. We could get water refills - 1 litre for 10 pesos and boiling water for our Tea for 5 pesos. You could choose to eat at the resort or there some nice little restaurants only a few minutes walk away as well. The location was really handy right on the ceres bus route, so the driver dropped us off right at the front gates! Everything was really clean and the shared toilet was always fully stocked with toilet paper and soap.... the shower even had hot water, which was such a treat for us!! There are stairs that lead right into the ocean from the resort for swimming and snorkelling. The area right outside the resort is a bit rocky and sandy. The best snorkelling is about a 5 minute swim right from the stairs. This area is absolutely full of colourful & diverse soft & hard corals. We saw lots of fish, some nudibranch, and even a turtle while snorkelling!

Wish we could've stayed longer! Thank-you!

Rooms are in front of the sea, that's nice. My budget room was clean, no complaints here. But these are the only good things there...

1) booking.com has declined my first request on bungalow. Finally, it was not available. I was riding a bicycle the whole day through the rain and when I came, my booking was canceled 2) for $25 you will have a low quality room with stains on walls, a mattress that was impossible to sleep on, the pillows were so hard and uncomfortable that I slept without them, shared bathroom (but with hot water). No water. No toileties. Just a towel. But if you have a cup they will refill it. No ac, just a fan. 3) some objects there are under construcrion so a bit later then 7 am somebody started drilling and making noice. 4) overpriced dinner price. The option is regular portion of chicken, and rice or fries, pancake and juice. I just clarified and did not order. 5) no outside food is available in accordance with their rules. 6) any thing you need can be charged. For less then that price I got much more better rooms in other places. Even a hostel in Moalboal was in better quality of service and more client focused. Do not recommend.

Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit

Die einfachen Hütten am Strand waren wirklich sehr Basic. Wir sind dann in ein Zimmer mit Bad gewechselt, was für eine Nacht absolut in Ordnung war.

Wir haben in einem kleinen, aber unglaublich gemütlichen Zimmer direkt am Meer übernachtet. Schon vom Bett aus konnten wir auf das Wasser blicken und wurden vom wundervollen Rauschen der Wellen begleitet. Einfach traumhaft. Marilyn hat uns mit so viel Herzlichkeit empfangen, dass wir uns sofort willkommen gefühlt haben. Sinja hat uns mit ihrem großartigen Essen verwöhnt, und Emanuel hat sich stets mit einem Lächeln um alles gekümmert. Das gesamte Team war unglaublich freundlich und aufmerksam. Besonders schön war der lustige und gesellige Abend, den wir gemeinsam mit ihnen und ihren Freunden verbringen durften. Ein Erlebnis, das uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Wir waren nur eine Nacht da, die uns aber noch eine ganz Weile in schöner Erinnerung bleiben wird. Vielen Dank

Great location and great staff. Has bikes for rent and the owner knows all the good spots! The food is also very good and the coffee was solid! Can swim directly outside the room and enjoy the ocean sounds at night.

Staff were super nice, welcoming, and helpful. The complex has a locked entry so we felt very safe. The food was also delicious. The location was great also because we were far enough from Santander that it was quiet but close enough that it didn't take long to travel there or Oslob via bus.

It would have been nice to have the drinking water accessible outside of the staff-only kitchen and for a menu with updated options and prices.

The location is very good . Our car can park inside the compound. The view is fantastic. food is good. We are very lucky the owner, Marilyn was there we finally met . She also sees to it that the guests / us are comfortable in their place. The staff are helpful. It is also pet friendly.

It's has low water pressure when taking a shower. The frame / box for the remote control below the TV give a little uneasy to pass by when switching on and off the Aircon .

Friendly staff and great food Excellent host

Shower pressure not too good
