Why Choose Us
Green Turtle is designed for barkadas and families who want privacy and space. You get the whole room to yourselves—no sharing with strangers. Our place is peaceful, safe, and homely, with very friendly local hosts. Look for Mama Bing if you need anything—she’s always happy to help.
It’s the perfect spot for resting after island tours, bonding with your group, or recharging after a long day.
