This hotel is fairly simple by international standards, but the friendliness and help provided by the staff as well as all the turtles swimming around the beach popping up make it well worth the stay. Our ferry got cancelled last minute on Christmas Eve and the staff went out of their way to help arrange our transfers and re-book us so we could carry on with our trip. They also invited us to their Christmas dinner which was our first boodle fight and the food was great.
We stayed at Ging Ging Hotel and Resort during our weekend Round South Trip. It is a great place to stay especially when you are with your kids and the while family. 🙋♀️ ACCOMMODATING & FRIENDLY STAFF Their staff has been so accommodating and friendly. From the time we arrived until we left. They let us stay even we arrived earlier than the check in time. They let us place our food in the Bar's freezer for free. Aside from that, they are very responsive in messenger whenever we have some queries. 🛏️ ROOM IS CLEAN AND A COMFORTABLE TO STAY We stayed in different rooms since there are 14 of us. And yet, all rooms are clean and enough to accommodate us all. There is a TV, a little balcony and a hot & cold shower. In our room, we have a mini ref too. ⛱️ TWO SWIMMING POOLS & A BEACH We all enjoyed a lot especially the kids because we were able to swim all we want. There are 2 swimming pools on each side. Plus the beach. You can use the pool from 8AM to 9PM. 🥂 BAR FOR FOOD & DRINKS If you don't bring foods and won't like cooking, they have a bar where you can order from. And the rooms come with free breakfast too in the bar. We had our breakfast late so we had few options with the menu. 🏞️ AMAZING VIEW The view is amazing and relaxing. They have a Rooftop where you can stay until 9PM. 🛣️ACCESSIBLE AND EASY TO LOCATE The resort is just along the National road and very easy to locate. It is close to Gaisano Grand and Cuartel of Oslob. Overall, we had a great and fun stay at Ging Ging Hotel & Resort. It is very recommendable especially if you want some quiet and relaxing place. You can bring your own food and cook there for a fee.
It is a sufficient facility nearby if you are just to watch sharks. I arrived when I walked about 5 minutes.
The shared part of the shower and toilet was clean. The water pressure is not strong

A pleasant stay. The room was small and the bathroom a bit awkward and narrow. Bed fairly comfortable and we had an awesome ocean view.. Breakfast was adequate without being great. Staff were kind and helpful though young and a bit inexperienced. The hotel is about 10 mins on tricycle from the town proper, so you may want to find something closer in. Overall a satisfying stay.
Very nice hotel and very nice staff. The view from my room looks beautiful at anytime of the day. The front office lady is very nice, she arranged our tour to sumilon island and helped us wait for the bus to cebu city. Clean room, clean bathroom and the ac working well. I love the food in their restaurant, my favourite are shrimp sinigang and sweet and sour fish. Overall I had a pleasant stay.
The resort is topnotch! Very nice people that run the place! Clean rooms and pool and the serice is also very good! 5 minute drive with the tricycles to the mall/towns. The workers will also help you with the toursaround cebu! Fixing the guides and everything. 10/10
The hotel was right on the road, easy for transportation to look around. The stuff was very nice with us... The room was tidy and clean with a nice view
Great spot for relaxing and being right by the water’s edge. Host is friendly and welcoming and will make sure you have everything you need or want. Not a lot of amenities and food is brought down from a local restaurant and is of a good standard.
Very Good

GGuest UserOne word to describe Bluewater Sumilon Island would be PARADISE! We were greeted by a mild-mannered receptionist (if i remember it right, Kevin) before we hopped on the boat. Sit on the first row, if you wish to enjoy the water splashes. We didn't mind as we were still wearing our swimmers from our whaleshark experience. We got there about 1pm, the room was ready about 3pm, but no trouble, because we enjoyed alone time in the infinity pool, took a nap on the daybeds, enjoyed a ”must order” halo halo on a buko, and fruit smoothies! What makes this place awesome is the staff, from the pool guy who picks up every leaf falling on the water, to the porters who helped our bags, to the friendly people at the reception and the dining area, even the nice ladies at the Amuma lounge. William's smile and attentive service is really heart warming. I'm not surprised why he's popular! Security is spot on! My husband flew a drone in front of our room and was told off 10 seconds later, which we are ok to abide. When snorkelling, I highly recommend getting a guide to the marine sanctuary. It's so worth it! It's good that the guides protect the sanctuary. There are only areas where you can snorkel, but plenty of fish, corals and clown fish. We stayed in premier deluxe room, which was very spacious, closest to the sandbar and best spot to watch the sunrise. Buffet dinner and breakfast are really good with plenty of options. Highly recommend, but would stay for more than 1 night next time.
GGuest UserWent 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.
KKuailemeidebaozangThe hotel is right on the beach. Dinner on the beach is so comfortable and very cheap. Although it's a bit old, the service is great. First of all, they helped us solve the problem of watching whale sharks the next morning. The fee was 500 pesos per person, including transportation. Even if we came back late, we would leave breakfast for us and send it to the dock on nearby Sumilon Island for free.
GGuest UserWe really enjoyed our stay at GT Seaside Inn - the staff were friendly and helpful, room was lovely and spacious with good air conditioning. The staff helped us to book tours locally and these were customisable to the things we wanted to do which was great. The food in the restaurant was tasty and the location was really good for wandering around Oslob, we really enjoyed looking at the old ruins, and we saw some lovely sunsets from the balcony area.
GGuest UserWhile 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.
Kk_fr_23Nice location
Nice food (the restaurant is amazing) lot of choices
Quite atypical with all these stairs to reach the reception and the rooms
If you are lucky, you can see whale sharks passing by the resort
Very good experience
AAaronL2286We originally intended to stay here for 2 days but ended up staying for 6 days because this hotel is so relaxing and the staff are super friendly. They will go above and beyond the call of duty to help with anything you need. The breakfast is perfect for me and they have a trustworthy laundry. They will help organise the visit to the whale sharks and it will be cheaper than most of the other places we saw. Bang for buck this is by far the best hotel I've stayed in and i can't recommend it enough. If i could give it 10 stars i would.
GGuest UserSpacious room overlooking the sea, large panoramic window covering the entire wall. There is air conditioning, hot and cold water with good pressure. There is a wardrobe, a table, a TV, a bedside table, all the furniture is not new, but it looks good.
The downside is that no toiletries are provided, they are for an additional fee, the lock on the door does not lock properly, even if it is locked with a key, it can be easily opened, it is not safe.
