Went to Oslob to swim with the whale sharks. Two families, total 9 pax. Needed a place to stay for the night, so we could start early at the whale place the Next morning. This place is perfect. Small but nice. Clean and easy parking in front. 2 minute walk to the whale place. Supervisor Mr. Ken was super service minded. Arranged so instead of queing at 04:00 in the morning, and wait for 4-5hours, he booked us a swimming at 07:00. Could not be better. Many thanks Mr Ken. Saved us some sleep and time in que. Next door is a restaurant. I really recommend Way Shack if you want a good experience of the whale shark swimming.

Clean, comfortable, air conditioned units behind a bakery/coffee shop about 1km from the whale shark area. Ceres buses go by outside, so you can be dropped off right in front on the main road. Fin looks after anything you need. For a small fee, he'll take you down to the whale shark experience at the right time (i.e. very early) to check in and then bring you back for a bit more sleep before going back to do the swim. The little bakery has lots of very cheap rolls and doughnuts, etc, as well as drinks. Bad for your waistline to stay there too long!
訪訪客Superb location. Beautiful views and close to shops, cafés and ATM. Room was clean and comfortable. The biggest asset is the staff - polite, friendly and extremely accomodating. They have gone out of their way to ensure my stay was perfect. All of them were amazing but the most outstanding ones were Neil, Allen, Jude and Jacq.
訪訪客While the people working at the 'resort' were really very very nice, the place itself was not. The whole place appears to be in pretty poor condition with minimal anesthetics. Rooms for 1-2 persons are very small (but ok for sleeping) , my room did not have wifi reception (I had to go out to a dining area near the pool to get any signal, so no privacy), the pool was nice and the water clear but the sides were lightly green with algae. That said, there are lots of jeepkos for getting around very cheaply, a nice shopping center relatively close, and you couldn't ask for kinder, nicer, more helpful hosts!
Note: There is no real beach near there, just short narrow areas with a bit of sand and a lot of rocks at the waters edge. The sea is really beautiful and clear, but also lots of rock or coral. Also, most (not quite all) other 'resorts' in the area looked to be in similar condition.
DO NOT STAY HERE. We stayed for 2 nights and did not sleep for two reasons. First reason, the owners are severely neglecting two dogs and have them tied up outside the hotel 24/7 without EVER letting them off. During the entire stay, these dogs did not get untied from the fence once and as a result are non stop barking day and night. One of which is a puppy and has an electric cable wrapped around its neck as a leash. Upon discussing the animal cruelty and effect this is having on the hotel guests the hotel staff are extremely rude and unempathetic towards both us and the animals. Secondly, The hotel staff sit in reception singing karaoke until late at night. The WiFi barely works, the aircon does not cool the room down and there is no hot water. We also woke up one morning to a cockroach in the bed with us. Avoid this place at all costs.
訪訪客用戶Просторный номер с видом на море, большое панорамное окно на всю стену. Есть кондиционер, горячая и холодная вода с хорошим напором. Есть шкаф, столик, тв, тумбочка, вся мебель уже не новая, но выглядит хорошо.
Из минусов это то что не предоставляется никаких туалетных принадлежностей, они за отдельную плату, замок у двери не запирается нормально, даже закрытый на ключ, его можно спокойно открыть, это не безопасно.
IIreethaWe paid 20$ per person per night. Understandable for the conditions of the place for the price we paid. But as it was very close to the road, it was so noisy at night as the lorry and buses passing by. Need to have earplugs if you want a good night sleep. For breakfast, either you buy earlier at 7 eleven at other places and not at oslob. Or you can go to whaleshark place to have your breakfast.
