RRJ's BEACH RESORT

Location is great, depending on what you are looking for of course. Snorkeling right in front of the resort as it’s right on the seaside and spot the house turtle, beautiful infinity pool as well. Complementary massage was great, very nice staffmembers willing to help with everything. I got a lift by scooter from a staff member to a scooter hire place (rent is 2x more than Bohol!). Taking back only they didn’t have transportation so caught a tricycle back. Big supermarket Gaisano 2km down the road, lovely breakfast! 12km to whalesharkpoint. They also let us use the fridge for our own snacks/ drink/milk. Don’t expect lots of stars, it is basic but friendly and all you need is there. When we stood outside waiting for the bus to come for ages they brought us out chairs to sit down, so kind!

The toilet seemed to leak, also couldn’t work the shower bit could have been me. Didn’t get a better rate for extending stay paying cash. Also, we arrived early (9 morning) and they wanted to make us pay 200p per hour for early check in even though there was nobody staying in the whole place? Not very customer friendly. I understand if the room is taken and needs cleaning still but it was all ready for us. Also no eateries in the vicinity.

Preis/ Leistung ist super, Massage bei längerem Aufenthalt inbegriffen. Das Personal ist super nett, nichts zu bemängeln. Es gibt einen schönen Garten mit Pool direkt am Meer, Zugang über eine Leiter. Es ist die Wetterseite, von daher wahrscheinlich nicht jedermanns Sache, aber man sieht wunderschöne Meeresschildkröten, die sich dort tummeln und regelmäßig auftauchen. Als Ausgangspunkt für das Whalesnorkeling sehr gut. Wir haben uns dafür einen Fahrer mit Tuk Tuk genommen, der uns perfekt durch das chaotische Treiben gelenkt hat. Danke!

Nichts. Für den Preis ist die Unterkunft sehr angemessen.

Nous avons séjourné quelques jours au RRJ’s. Les lieux étaient très propres. L’accueil de Jess était à la hauteur de ses sourires et de sa bienveillance. Nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer sa fille, qui est une jeune femme très souriante et sociable et positive 👏👏. Nous avons bénéficié d’un massage d’une demi-heure exceptionnel, merciiiiii . Nous recommandons cette établissement

The view is beautiful and the room very clean.

Bardzo fajny obiekt na przedmieściu Oslob, przy samym morzu. Basen użytkowany, chociaż my nie skorzystaliśmy. Przyzwoite śniadanie. Co fajne, a czego nie wiedzieliśmy, obiekt zapewnia gościom podczas pobytu 30 minut darmowego masażu codziennie, co był przemiłym zaskoczeniem. 700 metrów od resortu fantastyczna i jedna z niewielu na tym poziomie, koreańska restauracja. Można stąd podziwiać fascynujące wschody słońca. Dużym atutem jest fakt, że obiekt zapewnia tylko 4 pokoje więc jest spokojnie. Pokoje na piętrze mają dodatkowy taras.

Nie podobało mi się, że pomimo umówionej godziny na masaż, w kolejkę wprosiły się ruskie turystki.

Miły I pomocny personel. Basen pięknie usytuowany nad morzem. Śniadanie w normie.

Łazienka bardzo mała i był nieprzyjemny zapach. Drzwi do pokoju bez uszczelek, ogromne szpary na 1-2cm przez co mrowki i gekony łatwo wchodziły, jednak najgorszy byl hałas z ulicy, która biegnie tuż obok.

Pool with sea view, waves sound in the room, nice dog in the garden and free massage for guests.

Near the main road (a lot of traffic).

Breakfast was great, staff were good, got a bonus 30 min free massage by pool. Beautiful pool.

Shower area was average & whilst we new our location there really was nothing in the way of restaurant's or shops close by (of course a tricycle ride was easy to get to get to these places)

Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Good

None

It's clean and safe. The room is nice, it has TV, and the WiFi connection is strong. I specifically chose RRJ's Beach House because it's located between our previous stop, the Whale Shark Swimming and Sumilon Island, and our second stop, which is the Serene Oasis. Although there are other beach houses in the area, RRJ's Beach House has the most promising reviews and nice photos, and it really is!

Nothing.

Staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, christian "background" music at breakfast was incredibly loud but I didnt mind

I really hate to complain, but it was really run down its hard to ignore. Holes in the sheets, clumps of hair in places on the floor, dust a mile thick in the corners and on the wicker bed frame The air conditioning didnt work. The bathroom door was almost rusted shut and the bathroom smelt so intense with cleaning fluid and was very very basic and extremely tiny. We didnt/couldn't shower because the stream was just a drip. Furniture was perished and falling to pieces. Their pet dogs bark aggressively at strangers (im not scared of dogs but people who are should be warned) and they use the pool area to do poos, and it was littered with doggy landmines. We paid around 2100p and while weren't expecting the Hilton, it wouldn't cost them anything to give the place a thorough clean and patch up.

Camera, organizată foarte original, cu mobilier alb, cu un pat uriaş, oferă un comfort deosebit. Apreciez existența balconului şi amplasarea acestuia deasupra unei mici plaje, unde pescarii locali îşi păstrează bărcile. Personalul - foarte amabil, iar micul dejun - foarte bun.

Excellent place to relax with family

Everything’s great at RRJ

dobre śniadania, masarz wliczony w pokój, dobre ceny na napoje itp

mało półeczek szczególnie przy łóżku by się przydało, łóżko piętrowe nie jest przy ścianie i w związku z tym nie jest zbyt bezpiecznie spać bo można spaść....

Great quality of peace in this place

having to leave so soon

The staff was amazing. The property was clean and a little oasis from the frantic noise of the vehicle on the road. The air conditioned room were unique. The pool sat right at the ocean edge. Access to the ocean by a set of stairs. You could order food to be brought in. Close to the whale shark swim that we went to by trike.

They provided only a bath towel. They need to add a towel to dry your hand and a face cloth would be nice. Pool towels would be helpful as well. The location is not walker friendly. You are walking in the traffic to go anywhere. The locals know what they are doing but us tourists need to learn before attempting.

The hotel host was kind, and the property was beautiful, right by the sea.

Really lovely and friendly staff felt right at home. Lovely pool with ocean views and we stayed in a nice room on the second floor with a lot of glass walls with a view of the beach out the back. Got a free massage for thirty minutes from a lovely woman from the hotel too.

Nice clean room friendly and accommodating staff great pool & view

The water pressure in the shower

I have stayed at RRJ's many times because it is the best for comfort and facilities in Oslob

having to leave

It was ok for one night stay. But please be aware that the hotel is far away from Oslob Whale Watching, around 30-40 minutes by tricycle.

The breakfasts were excellent every morning. Scrambled or sunny side up eggs. 4 pieces of toast, ham or sausages. Coffee as much as you wish. Plenty of sauces, I like hot sauce. Finished with jam on toast and fresh seet mango. Table and cutlery were very clean. Very enjoyable start to the day.

Cannot find anything to my displeasure.

Nice light in the seaview room with a good view of a community beach where you can watch fisherman and locals. Nice landscaping on the property. Great access to swimming in the sea from the back steps.

The owners always had loud music playing. That is festive and all but not relaxing and very distracting.

This is a fantastic place for a peaceful relaxing break. We extended our 2 night stay to 6 nights & had a lovely time. Ann & all of the staff there are great & made our stay perfect.

We liked it that much we extended our stay.

Small guest house with very friendly staff, supportive and warm people! They treat you as you are their family! They also have a very cute dog, RRJ :-)

Nothing bad to mention, except that it is a little further from the center of Oslob, but if you don't mind to take a stroll and check how the locals do, then this is real value for money!

The staff!!!!! And RJ, the sweetest dog!! All three receptionists were so delightful, and Tita who always greeted us and had a small talk every now and then. Ann was super helpful throughout our stay. She recommended things to do for a 2 day stay in oslob. She also arranged a motorbike to rent. They were so kind to move our breakfast to dinner as we had to leave at 6am for a tour which we really appreciated and was very delicious! We ordered food for dinner too which was amazing! Customer service was on a different level. They really treated us like family. We even got a free massage throughout our stay. What more can you ask for?!

There were ants in the room which wasn’t the most pleasant thing. They pretty much crawled everywhere. We had to be extra careful when opening/eating anything or else you’d get a whole army of them. The shower head filter needed a replacement which I mentioned to them on check out.

I liked everything, it was clean, the staff are attentive, the place is well kept, we had a peaceful stay. I miss their friendly dog RJ.

Amazing pool, lovely staff plus we got a superb massage thrown in

Location, view, family-owned and operated.

Bathroom was basic, but functional. Doors difficult to lock. Outdated furniture in double room.

The hoist was very good nothing was a problem

The location is perfect. 5 minute tricycle ride to Oslob town. Lots of restaurants and street food. Bbq food is the best and great value. Whale shark watching is 15 minutes away.

Some times the local boys screaming past on motorcycles without mufflers. I must be getting old. Not a big problem.

Very nice small hotel (4-5 rooms), superb infinity pool, staff very very nice. Free 30 minutes massage as a bonus :-)

The road near by is a bit noisy at night.

The staff Free massage Pool Position Homely 4 rooms in the one resort

Insects coming in one room Flies at breakfast.

Pool was nice and staff

Water heater not work it.. bad fries in dining area.. the boss not friendly but staff all good happy.. no coffee machine inside the room..

The pool by the ocean was lovely and the breakfast is delicious

There were lots of ants in our bathroom and a few in our bed.

Lovely beach view. Rooms were clean and tidy however not a lot of sound proofing between rooms. Breakfast was lovely.

Neighbours are loud

It was small and quiet. Staff was friendly. It was a beautiful setting.

There was a constant flow of ants in our room. could easily be remedied with some ant traps.

Nice view and clean rooms

Very nice resort near the sea. Our room was clean end equipped. The staff is helpful and kind. Nice shared facilities by the pool for guests. My partner was very happy with the massage we received during our stay.

The bathroom is cramped but it's bearable. The mattress in the bed needs replacing. There was noise from the street and a radio/TV playing under the room all night, it was quite disturbing when sleeping.

Funky modern rooms and furniture excellent for you from the private balcony. Amazing pool

A little far out of town, however, transport was easy enough to get

Lovely little place, really quiet and peaceful. The pool was so nice! You can step down right into the sea too from the pool, the water was quite choppy when we were there so we didn’t do it, but can imagine that is great too. The staff kindly helped us organise to go to the whale sharks - they arranged for us to be picked up at 3am (there can already be queues by this time so it’s definitely worth getting there early!) by a tuk tuk driver, who then proceeded to stay with us the whole time during the whale watching queues etc and brought our tickets for us too (500 php for locals, 1000 php per person for foreigners) The free massage in the evening was also a lovely extra that we both really enjoyed!

It is quite far from anything else - restaurant wise etc and about 25/30 minutes tuk tuk to the whale sharks. However the tuk tuks are greatly priced, we paid 50 pesos to go down the road to where we could eat in the evenings

They have a pool and beach access. And if you wake up early enough, you can watch the sunrise. Lovely and helpful staff.a very chill place to rest. Oh and rooms are great too.

It was a great stay and beautiful property. 1 thing they can improve on ... The google map and waze pin! Do not follow google map and waze, it will take you up a mountain. They are just along the highway... after Billy's resort nd before Gingings. The room door was a surprise but not a deal breaker. We packed a lot sense of humor. But the room door is glass and locks at the bottom. Again not a deal breaker. Just another bit to add to your vacation story.

perfect location to relax... lovely staff always available and ready to assist. Start the day with a fantastic breakfast

not having longer there

Delicious breakfast in a perfect location

I wish i could have stayed longer

Owners are nice, swimming pool is OK, room has a design, free coffee anytime, serve beers.

Room doors and locks are not really comfy, shower stream on second day was very weak, not sure for which purpose they change wifi every day, toilet has no washing hose pipe.

We only stayed here for 3 days but loved it such a friendly little resort with only six rooms play supply breakfast that you have to go and get your other food a shopping centre is only 10 minutes down the road I would recommend this place to anyone friendly people nice location a lovely little swimming pool

The location, the pool and the friendly staff

That i could not stay longer

The view from my terrace was wonderful, the pool had a beautiful view, good position, the room was big and clean, super friendly hotel staff and a very good breakfast.

The only two negative things I can say: the mattress was too thin and the noise from the street was a bit annoying

This place definitely exceeded our expectations, there are only 4 rooms so it can feel like you are in a private resort. Great ‘infinity’ pool, everything really clean, very good breakfast and on top of that you get a free massage in the evening

It’s a bit away from the town, but it’s just a short tricycle ride

It was quiet, private, and uniquely designed.

None.

Family run resort and they do their best to make sure we are ok.

However, it is just wayyyyy to noisy all night long from cars on street and early morning from 6am from outsiders coming into the resort to swim and have party. Rooms are sound proof at all so you can hear every single word of your neighbors.

Wonderful staff, amazing room with glass walls, view of the ocean on both sides. Very clean swimming pool, direct access to the ocean through stairs from the infinity pool. Very clean garden, chill out area, free welcome massage. Easy access by bus or taxi. Modern equipments everywhere, carefully chosen style and technology in and out of the rooms.

I liked everything.

The owners were very nice and accommodating! when they realized I was traveling with my 96 year old mom, they transferred us to the ground floor. The room was very clean. The place was cozy. Great value for the rate given.

The staff is the best thing of the hotel. They were really helpful every time and really kind with us. lllAlso the pool is in front of the sea and the sunrise is insane. I’ll hardly recommend it.

The toilet of the room unfortunately was smaller that what we thought and the shower was a little bit uncomfortable.

Not much just in a decent location

The staff was not helpful They charge for each extra roll of toilet paper Ants literally everywhere, many of them The owners were having their own gathering during our stay and Made it seem like it was their home and we felt like we were intruding They tried to charge us extra for things we didn’t eat while checking out The breakfast is literally one egg half a mango few slices of bread and cheese and ham Loads of cats everywhere and they’ll jump on your table while ur eating, also terrible if you have allergies to cats

Ocean front.

Food not so good.

Very nice location, extremely friendly staff. Definitely good value for money. Robert and he’s wife are amazing. Highly recommend!

Nothing

The family who run the hotel are lovely and caring and make you feel very welcome. The pool area is great and there is also an access to the sea. We were able to see sea turtles from the pool, very cool. A great place if you’re stopping over to go and visit Oslobs whale shark viewing.

A fridge, rubbish bin and shower curtain would be great in the rooms. Also the camping site next to the hotel had karaoke singing all day long but that’s of course not the fault of the hotel owners.

Really nice resort with great outdoor space and the rooms feel modern and clean. About a 10 min trike ride to restaurants, 30 mins to whale sharks. Friendly staff, Anna was great! Big rooms, good aircon, lovely views.

Lots of ants and in one of the rooms I stayed in the bathroom door didn't close and tv wasn't working. Some of the staff weren't able to understand much English but were kind.

Amazing little haven in oslob. We absolutely loved our stay. Glorious pool, fresh coconuts off the tree, very clean rooms with functioning air con and the owners were so lovely and accommodating. Thankyou!

great host, resort is right by the beach with stairs to go down for a nice swim.

a bit remote but that’s with all the hotels in the area

The ladies were really nice and helpful although they could not solve all the problems. At the breakfast they tried to accommodate our requests.

The room we got was with a huge glass facing the restaurant. It means that we could not open the curtains otherwise we were exposed. The window was very small so, we had to turn on AC although it was not too hot. The resort (is not a resort at all) is just beside the busy road. It was so so noisy that we woke up several times. Since we went during the weekend, a lot of Philippino families came to party in the pool that is also just next to the rooms so, at 10am was already noisy with karaoke and singing. The first room we were given was not too clean in the drawers and cabinets. There is only a bed sheet to cover yourself and is not big enough for doble bed.

Good Breakfast

none

Right next to the water, gorgeous views and so accessible to public transportation

None

The hotel was budget friendly and clean. The staff were kind and helped to arrange a tricycle for snorkeling with the whale sharks. The tricycle driver they used was great - he came in, stood in line for me, told me where to go. It was really nice to have breakfast included especially after the snorkeling. They have a nice pool and steps so you can swim in the ocean if you rather. The room was a good size and wifi worked.

There aren't many restaurants in Oslob and they were a bit of a walk from the property. It was okay, but not the most convenient.

Great breakfast which varies day to day. Accommodation was clean, the views stunning from our room. Everything clean and tidy. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. They were super friendly and kind, especially to our children. Organised our tricycles for us. Recommended great restaurants to us. We were bowled over by their pool and the property is right on the beach. Loved meeting Robert and Rhoda, Anne, Lynne and Gina! Great team.

It would be great if they had a kettle in the room with tea and coffee options. But other than that, I'm smiling from ear to ear!

Everything is perfect. Cleaning, wifi, big room, wonderful pool, nice view to the sea, and in the stay they offer you a massage, one of the best i ever had

The comunication in english with the staff its hard, because they almost dont speak english, never the less, they are very friendly

The place: The place was amazing. The location was perfectly positioned only less than 30 minutes away from the whaleshark watching, tumalog waterfalls, and the sumilon island (and the monkey watching, but we didn't go there). The resort was also beautiful. The pool area was very nice and clean, and it was nice to have it facing the ocean. Since the back garden was facing east where, the ocean sunrise views were so beautiful as well! The outdoor patio and seating area beside the pool was a great place as well to hang out as well. The indoor dining area is spacious enough to fit all 11 of us, so it was a comfortable place to have our meals. The rooms were also so comfortable and spacious. Some of the rooms we rented had ocean views as well and made our stay even more luxurious. Everything was nicely laid out and clean, and we felt so at home during our stay in this place. The people: Every staff member was so kind, friendly, helpful, and hospitable. The level of service was excellent. Thank you so much to sir Robert, ma'am, Roda, ate Lin, ate Jenna (included in our group photo), and kuya Anghelito for how you all treated us during our short stay. Special thanks to ate Jenna for the GREAT massages (you get a complimentary massage per room booked)! Special thanks as well, for sir Robert for driving us to and fro. He is one of the owners of the place, but you would never know this as he worked just as hard as everyone else and was always able to adapt to our transportation needs. It's the people that make the place really great, and the staff in RRJ is definitely a perfect example of this!

I'd be lying if I added anything here. Wished we could've stayed longer!

Nice and cozy place. Just a couple of rooms. The owner is always present and willing to help with anything. Nice infinity pool. Great wifi compared to other places we stayed in in the Philippines.

Everything was OK. Just the location is not very interesting. But we were there just for the whale shark watching (ca 30 minutes ride by trike).
