Oslob Whale Shark Resort

La plage n’est pas très accueillante, oursins et cailloux!

Beautiful location, comfortable rooms, delicious food and excellent staff.

Nothing

The owner and the staffs are very accommodating, specially sir Kevin he gave us a free snacks my kids loves the mango torta and the puto maya. And the place was very pleasant and serene. And their food was very delicious.

Huge room and exceptional staff and fantastic view

None

Mini fridge in the room😀

I love the ambiance, the staff are very helpful and accommodating

Room

To far to Whale shark and town

Views staff where amazing happy with stay but the whale shake Swiming is 10km away and daily bike taxis where 350 to 500php each way I might stay closer to the whale shark Swiming next time but hotel is great food good but long way from what I was there for 🥵🥲 whale shark resort makes you think it’s close to action but it’s good 10km away

Distance from whale shark Swiming there name is deceiving its 10km away

Quiet and comfortable

A bit far from the whale shark watching and town

Quiet place

Small parking along the road

Beautiful ..quiet place .clean...staffs are good

None

The resort was very pleasant. During our stay, it seemed as if we booked the entire resort for ourselves due to the place being peaceful and delightful. The front desk was quick in assisting us to book our whale shark watching session, the breakfast was superb (thanks to the cook and to the staff that served us). The staff is courteous, helpful, and accommodating.

This doesn't seem like a big deal, but the main door was locked from the inside. So we had to ring the doorbell every time we had to enter and wait for someone to open the door, which was very often considering that we were out explorong Oslob. We just didn't want to inconvenience any one but we understand how they prioritize security.

Good view and beautiful

Food options limited, but good

Friendly staff.

A bit basic overall and limited beach front.

It is located on the beach, beautiful serene surrounds. The bedsheets are high quality, staff is attentive to your needs restaurant serves excellent food Bus from Oslob to Cebu passes in front , so you can stop and hop on.

They should provide a shuttle to the activities center, which is 15-20 min away. They can arrange a tricycle which would charge 500 peso, if you get your own tricycle off the street, it is only 50-100 peso.

Perfect for a short stay to see whale sharks. Very good value and the staff were very helpful, booking local trips. Great place to meet fellow travellers.

Couldn't really fault anything

The room was much larger and much nicer than on the photos. It is right on the sea so you hear the waves which I love. The staff is wonderful. Even though we reached late afternoon they managed to arrange tickets for the next morning whale shark swimming. They staff was super friendly.

The shower was as in many places luke warm. It would be nice if the hotels on the stretch made efforts to get the nearby sweet stray dogs sterilised. It is part of social responsibility to take care of the environment. Not by chasing them away but by creating a win-win for humans and strays.

I booked the Whale Shark resort thinking it was close to the actual whale shark experience which obviously not as it's about 30minutes away resulting us waking up early to queue up after having had a long and tiring day. The resort itself has amazing view and clean.

The food and drinks at breakfast were a bit slow to arrive, and we had to follow up twice on our order. It was a bit inconvenient that dinner was cash only when we arrived at night. As an overseas traveller, I would have preferred the option to pay by card.

Tolle saubere Familiengeführte Anlage. Ausflüge werden vor Ort organisiert. Schwimmen mit Walhaien, Wasserfall Tour. Schöne Abende mit Karaoke und lustigen Gästen. Jeder wird herzlich und gleich behandelt. Kerstin und Andre aus Deutschland.

Amazing views and great food and peaceful

Not much it was perfect for us

Stunning views and very helpful staff

We booked the Whale Shark hotel with the expectation that it was very close to the actual whale shark experience which is not close at all (approx. 20-30min drive away!!) the hotel staff are helpful to book the diving with sharks experience, but there is no shuttle and you have to organise your own transport etc. There is no other talk, vibe or experience of the diving nor whale sharks except for the name. The hotel is beautiful boutique style and the owner is exceptionally friendly so the whole stay is very pleasant and relaxing. Take your own reef shoes and goggles.

We expected more action packed conversations about the diving and adventures, however the hotel is a very relaxing boutique style place, which is superb for adults and not much to do for the children.

nice people - good food

irs 30 mins away from the whale sharks!!!!!!!!

The staff staff and location.

At the water edge

Far from supermarkets and restaurants

Kind and friendly staff. Great location

Beach front and accessible ☀️🌴🐠🥥

Everything! Really friendly helpful staff, excellent food, brilliant room. We’ve stayed a lot of places and this one was really lovely - they arranged a tour guide and tuctuc for the day - he was brilliant only wanted 600 (we gave way more then that - he was so informative took us to all the important spots and waiting patiently for us)

Absolutely nothing

Lungt och skönt! Dåligt med bad i närheten. Bra personal och mat

The view, the service from the staff especially Jane & Walter the tricycle driver, the accommodation, & closeness to everything.

N/A

Das Frühstück ist übersichtlich, aber auf Nachfragen habe ich auch ein Porridge bekommen. Der Blick beim Frühstück ist unschlagbar.

Wir hatten eine Ameisenstraße im Badezimmer. Die Unterkunft ist etwas vom Schuss, aber mit Rollern ist alles super erreichbar

Location

Price and no TV options

La vue est incroyable La chambre L’accessibilité et la deco

Ocean

This is an amazing place. Perfect location and rooms are big and very clean

Nothing

Staff were nice and helpful, it was rather clean, dining area was pleasant

Noise way too noisy, extremely close to highway, less than 20 mts, the Noise of waves breaking can be nice but not all night long when trying to sleep, people arrived or left 4.30 am !! There were 2 shower heads in bathroom, 1 for hot 1 for cold ?? CRAZY , they were 30 mins away from Whale Sharks, so why use this name??

Good price hotel in Oslob.

Breakfast was just ok!

Staff gentil, mais au sommet de l'incompétence! il n'y a pas grand chose a faire dans les environs, l'attraction principales étant les requins baleines. Le staff nous a donné les pires conseils du début à la fin. Ne leurs faites pas confiance pour vous donner des infos pertinentes ou l'organisation de vos sorties. Le pdj pas cher, mais ultra basique, un jus hyper chimique, très long a prendre la commande et encore plus a être servi. La piscine inutilisable (pas entretenue), la 'plage' très petite, que des cailloux, chaussures obligatoires. Herbergement excentré, rien a moins de 30 mins à pieds. Une des chambres réservés n'avait pas d'eau chaude. très déçu par ce choix

Everything

Clean and relatively new

No

Waking up every morning right on the ocean was amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Expérience : chambre 104 et 105 L’accès sur la plage Le restaurant correct A 20 minutes des requins baleines et 5 minutes du ferry venant de Bohol La gentillesse du personnel et tous les renseignements mis à notre disposition pour ne pas trop attendre pour les requins baleines : créneau réservé à 8 h et nous sommes passés vers 9h et donc rentrés à 10h30 Le contact avec la location de scooters et les chauffeurs depuis le ferry et vers notre prochain hôtel

Le bruit des camions sur la route principale la nuit Les rideaux non opaques Le petit déjeuner exclusivement salé Étant à côté de la réception le bruit de la sonnette des 6 h du matin

rooms are clean and modern look .It has private sea ,we cant say is as beach. Its only view directly from room. They should not claim it as beach.

only for 1 hour early check in they charged 5 USD while room was cleaned and ready ,Normally in all hotels if rooms are available and for only 1 hr early check in no one charge extra .

Personel lokalizacja suuuper kuchnia

La struttura e la stanza sono molto pulite e due ragazze dello staff sono molto gentili e non ti fanno sentire a disaggio. Ho molto apprezzato il servizio offerto dal sig. Jee e dall'autista Augusto, sono stati super professionali.

Non si può far aspettare per più di 3 ore degli ospiti per il check in quando il 70% delle camere sono libere. La spiaggia della struttura è poco curata. Trovo sia imbarazzante il fatto che una struttura alberghiera dia come ultimo orario per ordinare a cena le 20:30.

De kamer was super leuk en schoon, ruim met uitzicht op de zee vlak onder je. Er was een hoekje waar je zelf koffie kon maken en het was er heerlijk rustig. Jane en haar collega’s waren steeds paraat om ons te helpen en heel erg lief voor kinderen. Er werden heel snel scooters geregeld, en reserveringen voor tuktuk, Ferry en duiken

Er waren veel zee egels in de zee voor het hotel, die horen er nu eenmaal maar een waarschuwing op voorhand was fijn geweest

Clean and sea view.

Breakfast is okay

Great staff, so helpful, good food, The resort was comfortable, clean, quiet and relaxing, I would come back here again.

Beds are little to stiff and firm, I would like to see better linens.

מקום פשוט ומצויין. מחיר הוגן. תמורה מצויינת

על צק אין מוקדם מחייבים לפי שעה

Очень приятная атмосфера, тишина, только шум волн, красивые закаты. Нет плесени и ржавчины, чистые полотенца и постельное белье. До центра с акулами ехать 20 минут на тук-туке. Сотрудники отеля предлагают помощь в организации визита в этот центр ( водитель тук-тука забирает из отеля, сопровождает все время, покупает билеты, подсказывает, что и где и куда). За 5 минут можно доехать до ближайшего торгового центра со всеми необходимыми товарами. Рядом с отелем вкусный корейский ресторанчик.

Очень слабый напор воды в душе, неприятный запах в ванной комнате.

Chambre confortable et propre bien décorée

Le personnel est gentil mais fourni de mauvaises informations concernant la principale activité de l’île: les requins baleine Acheter impérativement un ticket au lieu de réserver par internet comme le conseille l’hôtel sinon pas d’activité

Die Zimmer und das Personal waren gut.

Gefallen hat uns nicht, dass das Hotel auf den Bildern viel, viel besser dargestellt wird als es in Wirklichkeit ist. Das Meer / der Strand läd nicht zum Baden ein. Hätte nur rein von Bildern und Beschreibung mehr erwartet.

The view from our room along with the resort’s private beach were amazing. Very clean, food was good and staff was accommodating. Dive shop is right next to the resort.

The beds are very hard, limited drink/snack options, and only instant coffee available. The 5 hour drive from Cebu airport to get here.

We did enjoy our short stay here, one of the better accomodations in the area. Nice tidy room with a large shower! The views were nice out over the ocean.

The beds were hard and the TV only had one channel. There is no pool but you can swim in the ocean out the front of the hotel.

The rooms were great & clean… the staff was kind & very helpful.

It would be helpful to have someone that can help point the tourist in the right direction as far as the main attractions in Oslob. If I didn’t have local friends staying with me, I wouldn’t know where to go.

Personalen är enastående, hjälpsamma och informativa. Hotellet erbjuder en blandad meny både för frukost, lunch och middag.

Erbjudandena i menyn lutar att det dyra hållet.

Breakfast and view

No pool

Amazing staff, quiet, very good chef, nice view. Drinking water available and free 24 hours. Very safe.

The beach needed to be cleaned

Pekny hotel v dolni casti Cebu, v blizkosti zraloci a plno vodopadu, Osmena Peak take stoji za navstevu. Prijeli jsme sem lodi z Panglao, cesta do Cebu trva 4hod autem. Mily personal, snidani si vyberete co chcete, meli jsme i vecere a vse nam chutnalo

Plaz neni nic moc, lepsi si zajet kousek na plaz Tingko beach

Clean

Beliggenhed og venlighed

Larm fra vejen

Ładny widok, miły personel.

Personel niedokładnie sprzątał i byl mało komunikatywny. Ośrodek nazywa się whale shark ale nie ma nic wspólnego z organizacją oglądania wielorybów. W restauracji jest słabe jedzenie, do kawy podali mi zepsute mleko, oczywiście wymienili je po prośbie ale czuć i widać było z metra że coś z tym mlekiem jest nie tak

Sobrang accommodating ng mga staff especially the owners (I guess sila 'yon). They are all friendly! And the resort itself was the best place to stay if you are visiting Oslob-Moalboal area.

Maybe the owners can put up a beware signage that the front beach is full of sea urchins. Hehe

Great little hotel for whale sharks

Very comfortable bed and good warm shower. Great location. Jane and Kevin were both very nice staff!

Breakfast wasn’t that good and coffee was not good at all.

A great outlook and close proximity to the whale sharks

We had a wonderful stay at this resort and couldn’t fault the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay.

No hot running water to the wash hand basin. Breakfast was poor.

Simple but nice and clean rooms with great ocean views. Staff very committed to help. Relaxed atmosphere

All was good (but it is still 30min away from whale shark area)

Perfect for families as the beach was protected and private. We could be upstairs in our room and watching down at the kids at the beach. Very very safe And the food was delicious, it was probably better than all the restaurants we ate at in town. Also LOVED the mango shakes It a 4-5 minute ride into Oslob. Plenty of tuk tuks so no worries there Front desk was helpful for everything we needed. We would stay here again

Good options.

It was very beautiful, calm, no karaoke around (which was the case with some other hotels). I liked it a lot, and think that it is one of the or the best hotel in the area. They also helped us with booking the Shark experience and taxi from Cebu, and it all went great.

The only thing is that is more on the expensive side: the food was one of the most expensive during my 3 week stay in the Philippines, corkage fee 250PHP.
