Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well!
I am back again to continue my Moalboal Travel. To those who missed the previous part, you can check it here the Part 1, the Part 2 and the Part 3.
Today, I gonna share some reviews to the hotel resort I stayed for a night at Panagsama Beach, Moalboal, Cebu.
The Eve's Kiosk Dive Resort Reviews
Actually, I didn't know how to get there. Thankfully, a fellow Hiver @luckylaica brought me there at the hotel I booked for a night which is the Eve's Kiosk Dive Resort. It is not difficult to find. It is just located at the center of Panagsama. You will not be lost because Panagsama beach is not that big and all establishments are so close with all signage. The only transportation to get there from the highway bus stop is to ride a motorcycle or tricycle. The drivers will charged the passengers either Php 50.00- Php 100.00 or $1-$2. It is a bit far from the highway.
It was late in the afternoon when I arrived at Eve's Kiosk Dive Resort. When I get at the hotel, I was greeted with the very accomodating and smiling staff. The hotel staff been waiting for my arrival. Because, I thought I'll be there between 12 noon to 2 pm. 😀
The hotel seems to be quite. There are only few guests that time.
I was accompanied by the staff to my room at the second floor near the balcony as what I requested when I booked my accomodation at Agoda. I booked it good for 2 persons because I am thinking that my fellow Hiver could join me there. 😀 I only paid Php 905.25 or $16.25 as of today's current exchange rate. I got that affordable rate because I availed a limited weekend sale at Agoda. 😀
When we are at the door of my room, the hotel staff handed me the key and told me that they already opened the aircon for me that's why it is a bit cold when I entered the room. Then, I immediately arrange my things.
The room is quite simple. It's a bit spacious with a small refrigerator, window type aircon, large size bed, air purifier, side tables, mirror and an open hanging closet. 😁
When I am about to freshen up and gonna use the bathroom. It's so sad that there's no water coming out the faucet and shower. I thought it doesn't function. I have to wear clothes again just to go down and inform the staff that there's no water in my room. It is the disadvantage of having no phones in the hotel.
As I am going down, I passby at the balcony and took some pictures. It's a bit dusty actually. I think it wasn't used for a long time coz the table and chairs are really dusty.
When I am at the reception, I told the staff that there's no water in my room. She said sorry for the inconvenience and she told the in-charge about my water problem. Upon checking, the valve going to my room wasn't on. So it was turned on.
When the water valve been on, I didn't go back yet to my room. Instead, I room around at the hotel and had some pictures. There's really only few guests that time. I think it's because it is not peak season and we are still in pandemic.
Here's the reception area where the receptionist doesn't stay there all the time. Because, she do cleaning also inside near the reception, assist guests, assist the cook and assist all staff in the hotel. It seems that all around staff. I am quite impressed with her because she's friendly and always give a smile to their guests and always ready when the guests has some queries and needed something.
Besides the reception is the living area of the receiving area where anyone can relax for awhile or have some pictures just like I did as I asked and requested from the receptionist to take pictures of me. Gladly, she's so accomodating and friendly and took some pictures of me. 🥰 Sometimes, they put the dogs there to relax also. I can see a lot of dogs hair in the receiving area which is not really good to look at as well as the dogs plates while the dog is hiding under the table. 😁
Besides the reception area is an ATM booth where guests and other non-guests can withdraw some cash. It just need patience in waiting because I saw some people cashing out in the ATM and took them minutes to get cash. Maybe because of the slow signal connectivity since the place is really far from the city and maybe it caused of the recent typhoon Odette that hits us. So, if you are planning to go to Panagsama beach make sure to bring enough cash. 😀
Fronting the reception area is there restaurant where you can order foods and have some meals or snacks either at the restaurant or at the room. 😀 Sad to say, the accomodation I booked from Agoda don't have free breakfast. 😁😁 But, it's alright coz I already saved a lot even I gonna buy breakfast the next day. 😀
The restaurant is just open for orders at 6:30 am to 5:00 pm and only accommodate guests at the maximum of 50 persons in the area. Well, I only saw few guests that time.
Fronting the restaurant is the garden while on the left side is the bar and the pool. There are also rooms in the garden side and pool side. Guests can choose to have a seat also at the bar fronting the pool.
Upon seeing the pool, it isn't inviting at all. Because it looks like it lacks of maintenance. It's not really clean that's why I wasn't interested to go swimming. 😁
I am grateful that the receptionist did took some pictures of me. 🥰 The accomodating and friendly receptionist really gives a big impact for my reviews of the hotel. She's the most outstanding of all. 😀🥰
After roaming around at the hotel, I go out and room around at Panagsama Beach. When tired of roaming around, I go back to my room and had some rest. I didn't noticed the time because, I fall asleep. It's already evening when I get up. As I go out my room and look t the balcony the sun already sets.
So, I freshen up myself since the there's water already in my room. And had dinner at the BBQ house fronting the hotel. I didn't order dinner meals at the hotel because it's already closed at 5pm only.
I had a good night sleep after my controversial night. 😁
The next day, I had my breakfast at the hotel. I ordered the Deluxe breakfast. Actually, there are lots of breakfast meals to choose from. Here's there menu.
So far, my breakfast makes me full. I don't have rice. I only have two slices of toasted bread, 2 sunny side up eggs, bacon, orange juice and butter.
After I had my breakfast, I go snorkelling. From snorkelling, I go back at the hotel to fix and pack my things for check out. And I had lunch at the hotel as well. I ordered the sandwich Eve's club house with orange juice. So far, it tasted good. 😋
When I am done with my meals, I had some retouch and get ready to check out. The receptionist really sends me messages of a safe trip back to the city. ❤️🥰
I can say that my stay at the Eve's Kiosk Dive Resort was still great. ❤️
Have a Blessed Thursday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
