「Way Shack Hostel is in a fantastic location for visiting the whale sharks. If you speak to Ken at the hostel, he can help arrange the whale shark excursion, it cost me 500 pesos and was super easy to organize.
That said, I’d recommend only a one-night stay here. We were disturbed both nights by heavy goods vehicles passing by the hostel late at night, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, aside from the whale shark activity, there’s not much else around the hostel to keep yourself entertained.
A scooter is essential to travel to the local town for food or supplies. The hostel staff can help arrange a rental if you need one.
On the plus side, the room was clean and equipped with air conditioning, which made it comfortable for a short stay.
Overall, Way Shack Hostel is a practical and budget-friendly option for a quick stopover if you’re visiting the whale sharks, but it’s not ideal for a longer stay.」
「It was a good two nights stay at the inn. It was understandable that their resto is closed as it was new year's eve and new year. I like the place's vibes. The rooms might need additional hooks or hanging cabinets maybe. Staff are nice and helpful.」
「Me and my friend stayed here for one night and we love the place maybe just a little upgrade in there bathroom as the room that we occupy had some minor issues but over all it didn’t affect our stay and we already raised our concerns to the staffs hopefully they the can do something about that…im looking forward to coming back here with my family maybe next time.」
