Me and my partner stayed at this hotel while we were in Oslob. We got the bus from Cebu City and it dropped us right on the main road outside the hotel - very convenient as we had luggage to carry. Good room for the money we could not believe the cost for the room included breakfast in the morning also. The staff were lovely and helpful. The view of the sunrise in the morning from pool is fabulous!! The pancake breakfast was my favourite part... the pancakes were AMAZING. So good we stayed a second night at this hotel after only planning 1 night. :) ... also have to add Gumar who drives the tricycle outside of the hotel is fantastic!
Excellent service, good food, very clean room and surroundings and pool, very nice vista.Urchins in seawater in front of hotel, be cautious. Good parking.
Room is small if used by more than two people. A/C and TV work well, WiFi is weak in room, works better in lobby.
Creditcards are not accepted for restaurant bills or room charges, this should be possible if tourism is important.
Can use local bus to and from Whale watching, about 24 peso one way. Distance to whale watching is about 14 km's.
We had the pleasure to stay here for 7 nights in June, the hotel is in a perfect place, the setting is just right. The rooms are fairly small but you won't spend much time in there. The pool and outside seating area are brilliant, you can sit and see an abundance of fish, turtles 40 metres out if you keep an eye out and within a few feet of the pier/ eating area, barracuda chasing the small fish. Snorkelling is superb and within 40m your looking over the abyss of the reef. The food is just superb, a must try is crispy pata, whole deep fried pork leg. A little disappointed at breakfast as no bacon which comes with the American breakfast, but ham was offered which we accepted, the remaining 5 days there was no bacon or ham?, no ice tea on any day although it's part of the breakfast too. They have 6 drivers who work for them and John was ours for the time we were there, I can't say enough about this man, warm, friendly and just a pleasure to have had him to show us about. 50 peso return into town, 400 peso for whale shark trip (10k away) and they will spend 3.5 hrs with you as they sort the tickets and stand in line for you. Enough said, if you want a really nice place to stay with staff who are just the best, stay here. Thank you all for a wonderfull stay.
The hotel has a beautiful setting on the coastline. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are very basic, but for the price that you pay I would say it is good value for money.
We travelled around with a guy called “Gomar” who was really cool and took us to interesting places, definitely ask for him if you need to go somewhere!
This hotel is decent, clean, amazing views and a fun pool area. Dining is outdoors with the beautiful sounds of the sea. We were a group of 16 and occupied 4 different rooms. The rooms are small, basic and bathroom is small as well. They are pretty clean but expect your stuff to get wet since it's a standing shower and I can't recall if there was a curtain to separate the toilet area. The A/C units are window mounted but it definitely kept the room nice and cool. you do need the room key in the room for electricity, so it;s a nice power saving tactic. Room doesn't take too long to cool off.
What makes this hotel exceptional is the staff. We first spoke with Chito over the phone to reserve our rooms prior to our trip. So kind and courteous. As we are overseas, he allowed us the arrangement to pay upon arrival. He informed us that cash is best for payment. Upon arrival, his staff helped tag and bring our bags to the different rooms.We were able to quickly change into our swim clothes to enjoy the pool and breathtaking views.
Food was delicious and I can't remember his name (George?), was the BEST. He took a few of us to the market so that we can pick out food we wanted to eat for dinner. My mom is very particular about food and is an amazing cook. She really enjoyed all the food as well. In addition, he would help guide us in town when I needed to get specific food like pizza/ pasta for my son that has food allergies. They were so accommodating and made sure my son's food were safe for him.
Another little fun thing is that we wanted massages so they found a couple of masseuse for a rooftop massage. Just a nice little treat while on vacation.
They arranged the tricycles for us (16 people in 4 tricycles) to go to the Whale Shark and back. This was the first tricycle rides for our kdis and it was so much fun! Chito also found and booked us 2 drivers to take us to Cebu City and helped negotiate the rates. We stopped at Aguinid, Kawasan (skip this, not as awesome as Aguinid, and CarCar market for some lechon before arriving at our hotel.
We truly enjoyed our stay and while accommodations aren't fancy, it was decent and the hospitality from Chito and his staff made us feel so special. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
My one little thing I hope they can do is to make it smoke free or at least have a designated smoking area. On our last day there, a group of young guys checked in and were smokers so it was a bit unpleasant to have that around the pool area. We're not smokers so it's just an annoyance when we're used to no smoking areas at hotels.
