Detailed Reviews
Helpful receptionist, always available for any question. Helped to book activities, drivers, whale watching, ... Even though it was stated that there is no Internet connection (I didn't see it when I booked), they managed to provide wifi after we asked (very weak and slow, but just for sending an email or so it was enough). +++ Very near to the whale shark watching.
Concerning the facilities, there is some bulls.. written that should be removed from the description : - Safety Deposit Box : in fact it is the nightstand with a padlock .. not very safe for your belongings .. - Soundproofing : LOL - Roll in shower : ???? Like in the other place I stayed in Cebu Island, the room wasn't made up for the 4 days we stayed there .. needed to run after the towels and toilet paper

Hey guys
We Enjoyed our short stay , nice helpful owner. If whale sharks is on the agenda then this is literally right next door.
As we woke up , we could look out from our balcony and see them . great clean pool.

We're two backpackers who booked Anton's for a day so we could enjoy the Whale Shark Watching without waking up 3am, taking the bus, stress etc.
We payed the hotel the day before (the same amount as if you arrange it yourself), woke up 05:45 the day after, and met the host just outside the door 06:00. They had already bought tickets for us, so we just went for a 2 minutes walk before we had all necessary equipment, ready to watch some whale sharks. They even waited for us with our stuff (towels, water etc.) while we were snorkeling.
The hotelroom itself is simple and clean with A/C, warm shower, and a nice pool outside. Big J's (one of a few great restaurants nearby) is about 30 meters from the room.
If that wasn't enough, we've never experienced such hospitality during our 2 months in Asia! Thank you for the great service, really!

So we arrived in oslob about 3pm. After a long 3 hours bus ride we were ready to chill on our room with a sea view, air conditioning and balcony.(Which we were already paid for on Expedia) When we got there they offered us a room facing a wall out the back with no air conditioning, I asked what the problem was. We booked by Expedia and this was definitely not the room we booked (we simply wouldn't have booked it if we knew the room was like this.) Anyway after chasing them around to try and figure out what was happened we discovered they had a walk in guest an hour or so before and they gave our room away and offered us the room out the back instead. Their excuse was they didn't have Internet and it had been out for 3 weeks. But I could see on her laptop she could access her emails so I think she could still get her emails some how. Basically they didn't seem to care. It got very stressful as we had been travelling for hours. We just ended up picking up our bags ad trying to find somewhere else to stay but by this time it was dark and we just got back on a bus to Cebu city. Our weekend to see the Whale shark was ruined. Poor service threw out.

We booked a room with 'balcony and sea view' and on arrival we were taken to the first room which was sat at the back of the property with no windows and a concrete slab for a balcony. I asked about the sea view and we were told we could walk to the sea by walking around the property, or we could go and look at the sea view room but someone was already occupying it?? Seems many other people encountered the same problem. Also no working wifi and staff didn't seem to care that none of their services as described in our reservation weren't there. When turning the tap on in the bathroom the handle came off & water was spraying all around the bathroom so we had to get someone to fix it. Walls were paper thin so could hear everything in the next room as there was even a locked door between the two rooms. Feel like it was quite expensive for the service we received, rooms were of ok standard but I wouldn't stay again. Plenty more choices in Oslob near the whale centre...

We arrived and were told that our rooms were ready. We were told we could not have the remotes for the aircon rooms we paid extra for. Turns out it was because the aircon was not working. They would not move us to any other rooms, even though we were obviously the only guests. We ended up leaving in search of rooms at another resort and with the hope we would get our money back, as we had to pre-pay online for the first nite booked.

We spent one night here in January 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Whilst it is somewhat basic, the location is absolutely perfect for the whale sharks and the rooms have a view of the ocean as well as AC and breakfast options. The friendliness of the staff is also what makes this place so great. I would really recommend this place to anyone heading to Tan-Awan for the Whalesharks or Tumalog falls.
Thanks for a great stay!

The hotel has just 4 rooms and they have a pool with ocean view. The room was clean and big, the view was awesome and the staff was really nice and helpful with us. Is really close to the whale sharks, just 2 minutes walking.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed two nights in Stop and Shop. It is perfect. The place is in a great location for whale shark diving, seeing all the Waterfalls and Canyoneering. The staff here are so nice and welcoming, especially Monique, who looked after our every need. Our room was great and had a balcony overlooking fabulous views of the sea.
