Great place to stay while in the south. You can prebook your whale watching hassle-free. Beach looks lovely but so shallow. Would be nice to have a pool.
None
Хорошее место с прекрасным видом. Очень дружелюбный и приветливый персонал.
Цены в ресторане завышены, но всё было вкусно.
It's my favourite place to stay. So relaxing and staff so attentive.
The outside area is so beautiful and I really recommend a breakfast or lunch where you sit out there with the ocean view. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was beautiful and clean.
The wifi did not work in our room and also neither of us had 5G connection. So we had to stay at the restaurant/common area if we wanted to use our phones.
Lovely and clean. Staff were super helpful. A little bit of confusion with the room allocation and extra beds when we got there. The food at the restaurant was lovely too. Brilliant little sari sari store across the road to the left.
有一片美丽的浅滩,可以下去赶海,靠近奥斯洛布镇,员工服务态度非常好,没看到虫子
房间内设施略显陈旧
The location was great, right on the water. The staff were so attentive and kind. Really recommend staying here for whale shark watching
The breakfast was a little limited

Très bon séjour dans cet hôtel. Personnel très agréable et serviable. Le cadre est magnifique.
hospitality of the staff, good food at the restaurant, helpful when you want to book the tour.
air-con in the room is a bit noisy during the night.
1)房间窗式空调声音很响 2)淋浴房很小基本要侧着洗澡,水很小,马桶冲水不顺畅,马桶一直堵塞 3)床上有小虫,第二天腿上有咬的包
景色非常好,完美来形容
这个空调能不能换一换?声音太大了,我后面定的其他酒店都是正常的,空调,空调是没有声音的,这种空调扇应该淘汰。
Outstanding. The value for money place in the area. The food served and options is great. The massage staff is outstanding if you need to recover. The staff is friendly. The place has Florida vibe and the motel seems to capture the authentic south Florida in the Philippines.
The air-con could be better.
Helpfulness of staff, outlook, ability to book tours with guide and transport
Traffic noise
perfect location, amazing staff
Beautiful Blue Ocean View. Quite and relaxing with great views. Turtles swam every day just in front of where we relaxed and ate our breakfast.
My stay was too short. The tide goes out in the evening and the water becomes shallow in front of the dinning area. Same thing happened in Boracay. Just part of island life.
前台客服服务太差!
Jeg kunne godt lide beliggenheden ift. Aktiviteterne for hvalhajerne og tumalog falls. Det gjorde det ret overskueligt at planlægge sin dag.
Der var nogle ting der ikke rigtig gav mening. Der var en lampe, men der var ikke kontakt til at kunne bruge den. Så lå der kaffe kopper og en el keddel inde på værelset, men man kunne ikke rigtig bruge dem for der lå ikke noget kaffe eller te. Værelset var ikke lydtæt, så man kunne høre musik og sladder ud på natten hvilket var ærgerligt pga. Vi skulle sove tidligt for at stå op tidligt om morgen. Der er nogle myg inde på værelset, så vi måtte bruge myggespray for at kunne sove om natten selvom vores aircondition var tændt. For pengene er det fint nok få en enkelt nat eller to, men vil ikke anbefalde at bo der i en længere periode.
The staff are very accomodating. They take good care of their clients/costumers.

The Location, The Staff and The Restaurant.
Everything OK. One remark about the bathroom and toilet. Last year I made the same remark, but bathroom is very outdated. A pity because the rest of the resort is fantastic.
Restaurant agréable avec vue sur mer. Personnel accueillant et souriant Le bus compagnie Cérès s'arrête devant l’hôtel direction Cebu où Oslob très pratique .
Restaurant onsite had great food. Staff were really friendly and helpful with organising activities and transport. Right on the oceanside where snorkelling was available. Beautiful views at night.
the view outside the room is great. Cleanliness is there as well.
The price for the whaleshark watching and others provided by the hotel could be better.
We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located right in front of the sea, with a beautiful view and the relaxing sound of the waves. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and always helpful. We organized our tours through them, and everything went very smoothly. We especially loved the whale shark tour, which was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip.
The only negative point for us was the blanket. It was a thick flannel-type blanket that we found quite uncomfortable and unpleasant on the skin, and we didn't sleep very well because of it. In the end, I used my own sarong instead. Considering the price and the overall quality of the hotel, I was expecting a more standard hotel duvet and bedding. Everything else was great, but I would definitely suggest changing the blankets, as more comfortable bedding would make the stay even better.
Quiet little place that had everything needed

施設が海沿いで綺麗 スタッフが丁寧 シュノーケリングツアーを手配してくれた
シュノーケリングツアーの予約時、早朝に並ばなくても良いVIPプランを提案され承認したが、当日に使えないと言われ結局3時半に起きる必要があったこと
Amazing comfort bed, I woke up totally refreshed, view in the morning out of this world. Everything is clean and nice looking Very friendly stuff and will help with places u want to visit. Nice food and tasty cocktails at the restaurant
All was great
Very relaxing and the food was great! Amazing cocktails and fresh fruit shakes. The staff were also very helpful and friendly.

服務人員很熱情,櫃檯服務人員很熱心,解說住宿和環境時,看我們不太明白英文,立刻用手機打字翻譯讓我們明白🫰 這裡距離鯨鯊不遠,但我們因為行程異動,早上4:00就退房了,很可惜這裡海景很漂亮。 這裡新鮮果汁很好喝👍在其他地方喝,味道不濃郁,只有甜😂

Stunning waterfront location, lovely room, great staff
The view from the room was breathtaking during sunrise. The staff was friendly, wonderful and super responsive to all of my questions. The food was also really good. The staff went above and beyond in helping me with transportation to and from the resort which included pick up from Dumaguete airport, ensuring that the driver helps my family with purchasing the ferry tickets to cross over to Oslob and coordinating pick up to the resort. Although our time was brief in Cebu, we will always cherish the time we spent there forever and all the wonderful people and places that we visited.
Rooms were not cleaned and they charged for extra towels.
Our stay was lovely! Just like the pictures!
Peaceful and gorgeous view. Good value. Good wifi. Good a/c etc. Friendly.
Everything!
Fairly close to the whale sharks . Efficient staff who organised everything for us
Trying to charge us for a single bed blanket . Double was too small for my husband and I but they wanted to charge extra for a blanket for the single bed in the room.
Yes stuff was very helpful and friendly
景色優美、餐廳食物很好吃!調酒也非常好喝!房間雖然簡單但很寬敞,床也很好睡!離鯨鯊村才15-20分鐘的嘟嘟車程,可以睡飽吃完早餐再去看 而且可以直接下水在周圍海域浮潛,很讚!

Le personnel et spécialement Marie nous a beaucoup aidé pour organiser notre programme avant et même après le séjour. L’établissement est propre et pied dans l’eau, parfait pour un court séjours à oslob. + la mango margarita est excellente et la plus bonne qu’on a testé aux Philippines
Quand vous demandez à faire un massage, n’hésitez pas à préciser que vous souhaitez le faire dans la chambre avec la table de massage, c’est plus confortable.
Vu exceptionnel, chambre confortable, prix très correct, personnel parfait

本次行程很满意,酒店靠着大海非常舒服。前台服务好可以帮忙预订鲸鲨以及包车。
Perfect stay for the price And good location
Liked the breakfast and the wonderful views. Staff were amazing and very friendly/helpful at the property. Very easy to book activities for whale shark swimming etc. We also got a very friendly tricycle driver who took us to the whale sharks and helped us going from all the activities whilst keeping our stuff safe.
The dinner we had on our first night was the only slight negative from our stay. A few options were not available and a couple of the dishes we got wasn’t to our taste.
目の前が海で永遠に眺めてられる景色です。 最高の一言! スタッフの方も気さくで優しいです。 ベットもフカフカでした。
ありません! 強いて言うなら、夜はヤモリがおおいです。
Great place, nice food, happy and nice staff too, I had 3 beautiful days without moving...
La vue sur la mer, la gentillesse du personnel.
L'odeur dans la climatisation et l'humidité
Right on the water, modern outside design, good restaurant, nice people.
The shower strength was very weak.
Great location. Beautiful view of the sea. Rooms were tidy
A hidden gem, doesn’t look like much from outside but the rooms and the views are beautiful and the bar and restaurant are great.
The ocean view pay much more for that view
Air conditioning a little noisy
Rooms are nice, everything just like the pictures - beautiful place. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
The location- beautiful view. Helpful staff. The room was clean.
Nothing that I can think of.

Amazing
Nothing is wrong
Breakfast is average. Staff really accommodating.Right on ocean so you can walk down concrete steps onto few feet of ocean. It's 12mins trike ride from whale shark watching/swimming.
Beds are bit hard. Felt a bit isolated and away from main areas so it's no more than 1 or 2 nights stay.
Its location was superb.
Nothing.
They blame us for a broken vase that we never touched! We checked in so late around 6 pm and head straight to their restaurant. Some of us went to book a massage at 8 pm right after our dinner. When we get to the room we never had any access to that center table. When we checked out they said that the vase was broken by us. As in, no direct contact at all in that said vase that was broken. Our only mistake was that we don't have any proof that when we checked in it was already like that, or who knows, probably it was from their storage and they're blaming us because we are not from the Philippines. Another shocking one is that the price of the vase was 2,800 pesos. It's not even a good quality or it looks cheap. Beware of this hotel. Before you check in make sure you take a photo of all the items in there so you will not end up like us.
It’s near to whale shark watching area and staffs are friendly and helpful.
Timeless escape at South Street 118… Here, you truly live with your feet in the water, gently rocked by the rhythm of the waves, while each sunrise feels like time itself is standing still 🌅 Just a few fin kicks away, the magic continues: 500 meters to the right, at a depth of 4 to 6 meters, turtles glide by and offer unforgettable encounters 🐢 And as an adventure within the adventure, the whale shark site is only about 15 minutes away by tuk-tuk — an experience as authentic as it is memorable. The cuisine tells its own story… generous, flavorful, always perfectly balanced — a true delight with every meal 👌 But what truly makes this place special are the smiles: a caring, genuine team, always attentive, turning a simple stay into a deeply human experience. A place you never really leave… and one you already long to return to ✨ A very special thank you to Cheva, Reza, Militon — aka “Tonton” — and Aimee for your kindness, your energy, and for making this stay truly unforgettable 🙏
The Staff was great, the food was great, the rooms were nice and clean, but the view even better. You are on the water. We had a romantic dinner on their pier. I only wish I would have known of this place sooner.
I didn’t know about this location sooner. I would have stayed here the whole time.
beach front. would be nice if only 1-2 nights stay. location is nearby the center. The staffs are friendly.
Internet - Wifi is not working most of the time and only runs at 1mbs when working. Mobile data reception (we're using smart and TM) are too weak, also doesnt work most of the time, we need to get out Housekeeping - 4nights stay and no housekeeping, room wasnt cleaned or atleast offered to be cleaned Soundproofing - no soundproofing. hole on the wall at streetside, you can hear vehicles from streetside and people roaming at the other side of the room. Food - ok but not worth the price
Location in Oslob is great and staff are really excellent there. The terrace is fabulous overlooking the sea.
