Cora’s Palm Court – Moalboal Cebu
Accommodation on the beach
Cora’s has the best location for a budget place to stay in Moalboal .
mobile 639062103876
Her room start at 400 pesos for a plain fan room and go up to 1500 with kitchen, air con, and satellite tv.
Often her customers stay for several months and negotiate a better rate.
She has one family room for 5 available as well.
The picture above was taken while standing on Cora’s deck between the rooms. The one below looking out from the deck this morning.
Corazon “Cora” is originally from Bohol and prides herself on being the only employee. She is the owner, manager, does the laundry, and cleans the rooms all herself.
As with all the resorts in Moalboal there is a tight water supply. During the dry season she has to haul water from the farm to her resort with her multi cab.
She says that in the 1980′s there were only 13 resorts so the water pressure was more than enough to go around.
Now there must be 50 to 60 places that offer lodging or diving and many have swimming pools. Sometimes there just isn’t enough water to go around and even the big resorts truck water in.

thank you and I’ll wait for your response…
Hi mitch,
Cora’s is on the alley that runs parallel to the “beach”. Anyone in the area can point you in the right direction.
I think Cora’s place is one of the best values in Moalboal.
dp
so can you specify the amount of accommodation you have in cora plam court…I’m interested to go in your resort because you have a low price….thank you and i hope i can visit your place…
god bless you…
Hi mitch,
Cora is the owner and manager of this small resort. dutchpickle is an information site where I put info on the web about accommodation, transport, and general tips to help out fellow travelers.
I have stayed at Cora’s place before and was happy with it.
My guess is that she has 5 or 6 rooms.
There are 50 more pages about Cebu and Moalboal on this site suggesting other options as well.
dp
i saw the accomodation price in the website (Cora’s Palm Court | CebuDaily.com Philippines: Hotels, Flights), is this is the new price now???
the room are concret??? do you have a picture in cora plam court?? if their is pls send to me at …
thank you and i’ll wait for the picture..
Hi mitch
I do not know the current cost but in my experience they are flexible.
The rooms are simple but the location is superb.
dp
do u have a picture in the site and pls send to the address i give you so that i can see the view, especially the rooms and the area…
Hi Mitch,
That’s all the pictures I have right now. Note the low end rooms start at 400 pesos (8 USD) per nite not 400 dollars.
dp
hi… im very much interested in your resort because it offers a cheap price… im wondering if you have a white sand beach or what i see is what i get in the picture above that (i guess) not sorrounded by sands… pls send me pics so i can decide to book right away.. im planning to stay for 12-15 days in your resort..thank you…here is my email add..

Hi Iza,
I don’t have any pictures of the “beach” but there is very little sand in Panagsama-Moalboal.
White Beach – 4 kilometers north of Panagsama – has a nice beach, but dutchpickle hasn’t made any pages about what is available up there yet. White Beach is more remote and more difficult to get transport to and back from town.
dutchpickle is an information site and we don’t make reservations. Please contact the resort directly. Cora is a great girl and will probably offer a discount if you are planning to stay several week.

the place( as a whole-referring to the beach) was good.. the owner however, made our stay worse. she was shouting when we left our food at the table to swim. i mean, HELLO?! wtf are gonna do there? just sleep? it is so NOT nice to shout at your customers when you can just politely ask them to clean it up a bit!!! She was even yelling at us that we only rented the room. Does that mean we are not allowed to stay outside to eat/drink? c’mon! It really was a very bad experience. Good thing though the owner of the neighboring beach resort saw what happened and invited us in. It was just a bad experience. Especially considering she’s in that kind of business. No wonder nobody but us who were there. Had we known that was what we’re about to experience, we should have chose another resort. take it from me. its a BAD PLACE to spend your summer and unwind.
Hi,
I always found Cora to be easy going and cheerful!
She is the owner, manager, maid, garbage collector, water courier, promoter, etc when she is not working on her small farm – and might have felt that you were making extra work for her by not cleaning up after yourselves.
I stand by my support for her place and highly recommend it for budget travelers.

Hi,
Everytime me and my husband is on vacation, we always stays at Coras palm court. She is very kind and very considerate. Her place is just few steps to the crystal clear water. And if you like to stay longer, the cheaper you can get.
For those who wants to stay there, please show some respect, cora is not your assistant, and neither your mother is not working there to clean after you. Remember it is not a 5 star hotel where you expect to be treated like a royalty.
Cora wish nothing for all her guests but to enjoy their stay as much as possible!
Hi Vivian,
excellent post…
cheers

Hi Cora,
Thanks for the update :)
dp
i would like to ask, how to get their from the city to cora’s palm..? do you have available seaside fan room or simple aircon room for this weekends?
pls…..rply…asap..
tnxs!
Hello Joylyn,
The easiest way is to take a Ceres bus from the south terminal to Moalboal. Get off the bus by the market in Moalboal and take a motor bike taxi or tricycle the 4 kilometers to the sea shore known as Panagsama. Just tell the driver “Coras” – no worries. Coras Palm Court is just past the parking area in front of Eves and also Nelsons dive shop – it is right on the seashore – very nice!
I do not know what is available this weekend – can you give Cora a call in advance?
