    After you do the swimming with whale sharks and see a waterfall, nothing else much to do in Oslob. No beach, just steps down to the mossy water..

    Meeting interesting people in common veranda. Free water and coffee, menu from local restaurant.

    They didn't seem to like our late arrival after 11:00pm. I think we woke him up. No one came to the door after we rang the doorbell 3x. If arriving late you need to call them. Restaurant not operating was informed needed to call a telephone number to order food at hotel restaurant. We did not have local phone. Short walk outside for food.

    The staff was very helpful and friendly. They arranged for a tuk tuk driver to drive us to the whale watching site. (10-15 mins). He took care of us the entire time. He bought the tickets for us, came back to inform us it was our time waited for us to finish the activity. drove us back. most helpful. Good hotel to stay in for whale watching

    The windows to the rooms open onto a covered corridor so no natural light.

    Right on the ocean front, really clean, super friendly and incredibly helpful staff. The owner organised our whale shark diving and the driver/side was just brilliant helping us navigate the chaos at 4:30am. For a 2* hotel and a price of about £10 per person for a double room, it’s really amazing value.

    I wish resort accept payment straight from the booking portal online (w.g. Booking.com, trip etc).

    I love the beach front view while you are eating your dinner or breakfast at their outside seating restaurant. The location is very close to the port going to Sumilon Island and Whale shark. The staff were incredibly polite and guests were well looked after. No small or big requests they can’t cater. Reception always there to answer all your query and helped when needed. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this hotel. We can highly recommend this resort. Thank you.

    The wifi was good while it was sunny, but after it rained the internet went down and never came back.

    The host is lovely and will take care of everything you need with a smile on her face, from tours to transportation to the port. The accommodation is simple but has everything you need. I will definitely stay there again if I come back to Oslob!

    Room was basic (just table, bed and air-conditioning) but it was very clean, bed was comfortable and air-conditioning was functioning well. Nice spacious waterfront terrace (shared). Location is right on the water on a quiet street a minute walk from town center. Probably the nicest restaurant in town is just in front of the hotel.
