Stopped for a day to swim with sharks. The hotel is in step-by-step access from the place where sharks live.
The room is large, clean, with a nice decor. The staff is very nice and responsive. There is a small shop next door where you can take drinks or snacks)

yaytakoFantastic stay and real island getaway!
View and waters are amazing, food was included in our stay (breakfast and dinner) and there are many free activities to take part. The view are spectacular! The rooms were clean and spacious for 2 pax- can fit up to 4 pax.
Favorite activity was to fish from the lagoon and watch the baby shark (white shark) feeding at 1130am and chilling at the hammock infront of the rooms.
Massages are quality if you want some wave asmr as they are done in the outdoor huts but only can do 1 hour blocks and require quick booking/advance booking as the masseuses are limited.
wifi connections are good islandwise but it’s more of chillax resort. The rooms have netflix and youtube.
do bring some night snacks or simple lunch as their restaurants close early at 9pm and ferry out are only during the lunch time

Great location and service for budget travelers. The kind and supportive staff add great value to the stay, especially by helping arrange an early morning trip to see the whale sharks while it was still cool, followed by a visit to Tumalog Falls. The café attached to the hostel also offers good service, tasty meals, and a comfortable outdoor seating area.

We had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which really made the experience stand out.
The location was also excellent — convenient and easy to get around, with plenty nearby. Overall, a great stay with excellent service and value. Highly recommended!

Guest UserThe location is excellent, not far from where they take you to see the whale sharks. The hotel provides round-trip transfers, but you can also walk about 500 meters in 10 minutes, though it's along the road. The price for the whale shark tour from the hotel with transfer is 1000 pesos; without transfer, it's 500 pesos per person if you book on site. The rooms are spartan, with nothing but a bed and a table. There's a water heater in the shower, but it doesn't quite do its job. However, for 3,000 rubles, if you just came to see the whale sharks, spend a night, and leave, it's perfectly justifiable. The hotel has a restaurant where you can grab a bite, and nearby there's a pier with boats that can take you to a small, opposite island with white coral sand. This hotel is really just for a 1-2 night stay.

namba kenichiIt 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

The hotel is located near the road and is very noisy, so bring earplugs. Breakfast is always available at a reasonable price. It's not overly generous, but you can definitely get scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage. Instant coffee is the only option. The rooms aren't very clean, and housekeeping isn't always good.
The location is very convenient for visiting waterfalls and sharks. The room rates are low, so it would be unfair to nitpick. The pool was always ours alone in the evenings, and guests didn't stay long. The staff was very helpful, always helpful with any questions, and if something wasn't right, they fixed it. Wi-Fi only works at reception and by the pool. Cell phone service is always good. Prices for all services are very affordable.

Guest UserWe read a lot of negative reviews about the hotel but decided to take a chance. For the price, it's a perfectly decent hotel. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are fine and clean. The internet is pretty good. There's no hot water, but that's mentioned in the description. The entrance for shark swimming is just 100 meters away. It gets crowded before lunch, but after that, only a few tourists remain in Tanawan, so you can swim peacefully outside the shark area or go to the waterfall, which is about 3 km from the hotel (it closes at 3:30 PM). Since the hotel (like most in Tanawan) is located along the road, it can be noisy, so try to get a room not facing the road.
