Lodgings in Santander

The staff were very attentive and made one feel really home and they went the extra mile to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. We will definitely go back for the diving!

Amazing little place right on the sea. Staff are wonderful, the room is spacious and clean, the food is the best I've had in the Philippines. A little piece of paradise.

Unbeatable views. Calm and peaceful right on the sea. Clean and comfy place, up to western standards.

The is a fantastic resort, very friendly, helpful and professional staff. Positioned at the very South West corner of Cebu (the SW corner itself is part of the resort!) the views out to Negros are amazing and the views of the clouds surrounding distant mountains while the sun sets is a real joy. Not surprisingly the beach itself is made of, well, pebbles, but nevertheless it was comfortable to walk on bare foot and go in the sea. Because of its location the waves can get quite boisterous (take off your jewellery first!) but that is part of the fun! Breakfast is the usual Filipino freshly cooked treat but this place has an unmentioned bonus - there is no end time for breakfast!! One time when we were away early for a trip, we had our free breakfast at dinner time!! The rest of the menu is good and food very reasonably priced despite being really tasty. Definitely try the buttered chicken!! Staff are always willing to help you as much as they can. Ceres buses going to Liloan port will stop right outside the property. Pool is kept pristine clean.

Jointly owned by American husband and Filipina wife, who have managed to deliver the great things about staying in the Visayas countryside while removing many of the usual local annoyances. Clean, recently constructed, well-built to keep mosquitoes and other bugs out. Magnificent sea view. Food delicious, menu with perhaps fewer options than other resorts, but all menu items in stock (for PH, a small miracle!) and very tasty. Snorkeling out front also quite nice — saw a bristle-tailed filefish that was new to me after hundreds of dives in PH. Friendly, generous, and kind service. Quiet but still well-located near Lilo-An ferry, Oslob whale sharks, several beautiful waterfalls, and Italian, Belgian, and local restaurants.

Staying at Emoha was so far our best experience while travelling in the Philippines. From the first step into the property we felt at ease. The resort is beautifully designed, clean, quiet, as it’s away from the main road and safe. All the facilities are well maintained, organized and well taken care of, starting from the floor of the resort up to the roof which to me looked like engineer’s masterpiece. Rooms are very specious with a big balcony and amazing view, quiet AC, comfortable bed, clean bathroom with strong water pressure and abundance of hot water, drinking water was available at the water station downstairs. Resort has a swimming pool, hammocks and you can also order massage and will be accommodated with massage beds right there in the garden with soothing sea breeze. During our stay we visited Oslob Whale Shark watching point which is 20 minutes drive away and Aguinid Falls, we went snorkelling every day and couldn’t get enough of it! Special thanks to our gracious host Lottie who welcomed us, Rafael resort's diving instructor who shared about great coral reef wonders which were just a step away from the resort, helpful and smiling girls and wonderful chef who amazed us with her cooking skills. In the future we would definitely like to stay at Emoha and can recommend it to someone who’s looking for a comfortable stay with great style.

quite. romantic. perfect for family getaway and escape from the city noise

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.

We really love the homey feel of this villa, being it a luxury place, it is still very homey for our family. Many things to do, very little time. We suggest a minimum of 2nights stay will be good enough to really enjoy the space, the beach, the stress free living we all dream to have on a daily basis. I like that you can hire a butler/buttress to stay in the villa at all times to watch our children and help prepare meals, it was truly relaxing. They can book for a private chef and massages for you as well but we didn’t get the chance since we only stayed 1 night. Highly recommended and we will come back for sure.

Pool was close and staff was accommodating

The location was perfect. Its far from Cebu city (4hours drive approx) but it meant that we had a very peaceful stay and a beautiful location. The staff were friendly & enthusiastic and made us feel so comfortable and welcomed at all times. They arranged breakfast on the beach - the breakfast itself was delicious - pre-order the night before so it's always cooked fresh. It is very close to many waterfalls and the whale shark & monkey sanctuary in Oslob (just 20 minutes away), and just a short walk away from the ferry port to go onto Dumeguette/Siquijor etc.

it is very clean and spacious with everything you need in a house

Sandra met us at check in and showed us around. Demer, who maintains the property, was a great help with ordering food from a nearby resort and other requests. He made it super easy for us! An item to note, which was not problem for us, but just know the ACs are in the bedrooms, not in the living room. Fans were available though. This wasn’t a dealbreaker for us.

The house is extremely nice, the view and location were perfect. Close to excursions. Staff was so kind and helpful, would definitely stay here again!

It is located in paradise. The Villa PAGI is the most beautiful facility I’ve ever lived. The best place for couples to stay for their honeymoon.

This is hands down the best place to stay to see the whale sharks! The place is clean and safe and the staff are so helpful and friendly. It was so easy to get tickets and see the whale sharks. They even helped with photos and sent us off with a friendly smile. Everything was so organized! Highly recommend!
