Vivians Nipa Huts Review, MoalBoal, Philippines – Survive Travel

A bungalow.

This post is a Vivians Nipa Huts Review, MoalBoal, Philippines. I stayed at Vicky’s Nippa Hut because it was recommended to me by the guy who taught me Filipino Martial Arts, and I am glad I did.

Unfortunately for the last couple of weeks I have been having major problems with this website so I lost a lot of the pictures, many of them of Vivians Nipa Huts.

Vivians Nipa Huts Review, MoalBoal, Philippines

Cost: 500php/night for shared bathroom. 700-800php/night for private bathroom with aircon, “kitchen”, fridge etc.

Address: Panagsama Beach, Moalboal, Philippines. Once in Panagsama Beach area just ask any local and they will point you in the right direction.

On my first night they didn’t have room in the main part, which is fine but I could not get internet. 500php/night for a basic room with a non-working TV and a fan. It had a shared bathroom with no hot water, but you don’t really need hot water in the Philippines. There is an air-con in the room. Using it will cost an extra couple of hundred php.

It was noisy in the morning. First with the roosters at the crack of dawn, and then a little later with people talking outside. I wake up early anyway but if you like to sleep in then you will not be impressed.

The staff are really good… It’s amazing how good staff can make up for everything. It is owned by a Filipino lady (Nina I guess) who married a German guy. Not surprisingly, she can speak German, English and Filipino.

On my second night I moved to the main area and for an extra 200php a night (700php/night in total) I was in a private room with private bathroom, air con, cable TV (with bad reception), working internet (most of the time), a fridge, gas stove and everything needed to cook and eat off.

I still got the roosters in the morning, but the following night I moved into the room next door and surprisingly it cut out a lot of the noise.

For another 50php I got a full water drum with dispenser. Well worth it.

This is the front of my room. It has a “kitchen” meaning a fridge, kettle and gas stove iwth cooking/eating utensils outside.

They also hire out motorbikes but I ended up getting one somewhere else. Everyone says 300php/day but ask for a discount and they will give it for 250php. No-one wears helmets here (I think I am the only one) but ask for one if you want it. I get some funny looks wearing it but I’d rather that than a smashed skull.

The location is good. It is in Pangasama Beach which is basically where all the dive centres and bars are. It is outside the main part which is nice, but not too far away. Everything there is pretty close… walking distance.

Getting to Vicky’s Nippa Hut

From town you can catch a lift on a tricycle to anywhere in Pangasama for less than 70php.

Cheaper than that is to go on the back of a motorbike which will be at least half the price but does not allow for luggage.

Here’s a map.

Unfortunately Vivians Nipa Huts is not on any accommodation booking site (that I could find) so you just have to rock up and hope they have room. Alternatively you can book your accommodation at another place.
